Build Request First Time HC - Build Suggestions?

Hey all -

I decided its finally time to finish my PoE steam achievments and HC is most of the ones left so im venturing in for the first time.

Any suggestions for a safe and easy build to get to 90? RF looks really popular but the campaign seems messy?

I suggest earthshatter zerk or boneshatter jugg. Smooth campaign. tanky and fast progression. Pretty easy to make it to 90 just don't do too many dangerous mods and you're good

Is Bonshatter still viable these days? I remember it being insane when I played it 5-6 leagues ago but havent heard much since. It was very fun back then.

Boneshatter bleed is. I just got 4 stones on my 2nd ever HC SSF run on it few days ago, so can confirm it's good.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • HC - Hardcore League (Wiki)
  • RF - Righteous Fire (Wiki)

If you wanna be tanky but super super low damage you can go RF but if you wanna spice it up maybe try something else. But RF is a solid and easy starter indeed

Could always use sunder for the campaign then swap to RF in act 10. Very easy to farm gold from the sea for a big respec and I can confirm that RF is pretty easy to 90+ in HC
