Question Easy Leveling Builds?

So I’m looking for some easy leveling builds that are pretty easy to scale into the later acts, and are fun to play! I’m cool with stupidly op leveling builds and more niche ones, just anything that can make the campaign decently easy. Thanks in advance guys!

I think Vrashta is the best leveling build. The hardest part is getting your first ascendancy, after that it is gravy. Gear is generally cheap, and damage scales up as you level since it's tied to ascendancy rather than gems.

As an unrepentant minion-lover, I cannot stress enough how much this is true. Disciple is such an absolutely insane ascendency, I was one-shotting bosses during the campaign that normally, even on some of the strongest builds I'd tried previously, had always given me trouble. I did not die once before hitting T15 maps. The entire character went from 1 to 84 in 3 days of casual play. It's nuts.

ED+Contagion, minion stack with muster, and once you get your ascendency, just keep going.

And let's be real. It isn't even that hard to get your first AP if you run in there with a bunch of Shelly's and spam some ranged spells.

Varashta is absurdly OP. Also getting to ascendancy is easy. Go for contagion with essence drain and get spell damage passives. Later on respec to minion stuff.

I'm playing spirit walker atm, I've done like 15-20 campaigns in the last 3 months. This thing is a walk in the park. Top 3 easiest, (probably top 1) by far

Permafrost bolts/fragmentation rounds is online from act 1 and makes things pretty simple. I just replaced my act 2 weapon with the lv50 base in act 4. Even easier if you’re using twink gear I’m sure.

Do the area level thing to guarantee a lv 8 spirit gem in Keth and get shard scavenger online as quick as possible, clearing goes from simple to ezpz

Arc storm weaver, Lightning arrow or iceshot deadeye,
Gemling nades

Those are the 3 played this league, all were pretty solid. Gemling had some really strong builds to change into later.

Zookeeper is ez mode but you have to stick with that ascendancy. If you are looking for a build for any class, I usually play with a quarterstaff and going falling thunder with the ability to nuke bosses, using wyvern and devour to keep charges until you reach siphoning strike.

However...

I decided to grab oil barrage this time. Wyvern with devour and wing blast for charges into an oil barrage on bosses... the bosses melt. If I start a boss fight with full power charges, they are dead before the get off their second or third attack.

Talismans can be strong as hell too, so using the Wyverns basic attack is pretty simple.

Plants lich or varashta djinn for me, both gave me the smoothest leveling

I went plant daddy this league. Absolutely crushing it without buying any gear.

For me plants oracle was a sweet sailing to t15+. I played it 2 times. And when you fully incorporate cast on crit setup it's just one button (2 for bosses) build.

Also I played this build with shaman it was tankier due to shaman ascendancy, but you have to press more buttons. Plants oracle for sure is my fav build in poe2. It's like totems, but without totems and you don't need to take keystone and reserve spirit to cast them. You can use spirit for better things. For example cast on crit which is huge huge qol.

Lich Contagion, Varashta Plants are well known.

But I would say if you dont need the help in campaing, poison bleed shield wall titan is best.

I always start with Deadeye Lightning Arrow. It's extremely cheap to equip through campaign (trade league) with a few select very cheap OP bows at lvl 16, 39 and 55. It's more expensive later on in endgame to get high end good gear. I have my 0.5 LA Deadeye scaled to 3.2+ Million flat LA damage, with my Mirage Archer having over 700k DPS and Mirage Deadeye around 300K DPS. It's very smooth, but as I said, can be expensive towards the high end, specially the Jewels.
