ADRENALINE FUELED NIGHTMARE ROGUE! Who needs tanks, mages, or healers when you can have a full throttle rogue team. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer if the community doesn't beat me to it. Who else is ready for Path of Exile 2?!
I would say the most fun I had was with the mage. You strip away the abilities from all the classes and the orb and blade combat style of the mage is the most fun. Tossing out AOE elemental orbs to stack a magic bomb on targets then using your blade to detonate those bombs is satisfying especially when you acquire the talent that lets you throw your blade to detonate the bombs. OVERALL, every class if fun and they designed each class very well. It makes playing the game at least 3 times worth just to try all classes. Most guides don't cover the basic combat system for each class with weapon combos ( light/heavy attacks and charged light/heavy attacks plus agile attacks) which is a big part of the early to mid game since you don't have ability spam like most end game guides show. Survival early is your own skill and the mage feels the best for me personally.
While leveling, i honestly think pilfer is the best rogue skill and most versatile. The fact that it triggers any of your belt effects means you can mess around with a bunch of the belts instead of just throwing a good belt on and leaving it. Not sure how much damage it does late game, but im currently leveling my rogue, and pilfer+bees does a bunch of damage.
EXACTLY! My first 2 guides I talk about Tincture Kit being the best belt because massive healing and revive which is true for those builds. Pilfer on rogue changes that because you get constant potion effects without actually using your potions. I also used the BEES unique belt early when I was bleed stacking and I agree that the bleed+bees was so much damage! Glad I'm not the only one who did this while leveling. The AOE bleeding belt was my preferred belt for most the game. Thanks for watching!
Amazing! I was going to do Damtics CRIT BOOM Saboteur next but i think you stole me heart with this one 😅. Do you think you can do a staff focused build?
Glad you like my build! I am currently debating on working on some extra builds for each class on my free time. You are not the first person to ask for a staff build so I may look at some ideas and I will post a guide if I can create a crazy build. No mediocre builds here! We want that juice!
Awesome! This build was fun from start to finish. I hope you enjoy your fast ultimate recharges in the early and mid game to constantly throw bombs everywhere! So satisfying until you are ready to transition to all projectiles in the late game.

I really like afflictions and Nightmare has enemies a little more tanky so affliction stacking helps take them down. Extra potions are always nice as well. Taking the extra affliction stack on this rogue build would give you 11 bleed stacks early in the game! ( 3 standard, 6 from unique sword, 1 from skill tree by Pilfir, and 1 from Faction.)
Fun is what I aim for! Currently working on more builds since community interest is high. I might replay warrior again since I beat the game on warrior first but it was Underdog difficulty and the build wasn't nearly as good as my mage and rogue on Nightmare. Probably plan to see a new warrior guide!
@@ImJustAnthonyTube I'm trying to build a smash warrior because I really like kicking the mobs. And I hate cooldowns, so I want it mostly spamming the abilities. A lot of rage gen + smash damage.
I believe that being able to use the crit ability spam that stacks all afflictions and with an ultimate that does constant DPS separate from our own DPS really elevates this build to the top. Play style and personal preference will dictate the best build for each player. I had the required Helmet to legendary and the required unique belt before I was level 50 and I also think this elevates the build because you don't need the special upgrade shop at the end game before the final boss. I was able to massacre the LvL 50 Blight Dragon in Crossroads at LvL 48 without him hitting me a single time and very fast kill. Probably my highest performing build out of the three I made. (Whisper "Spellblade was still my most fun to play")
Dumbasses on The Internet: "hurr durr the enemies are sponges" You: "watch me kill the final boss before he even finishes monologuing" It's incredible how much "skill issue" applies to most complaints about the game's combat.
It's unfortunate some people don't want to better themselves so only complaints happen. The base combat system without abilities for each class is already fun when you master it. Add abilities and skill tree, game elevated to be even more fun and see if your mad scientist brain can make a monster or a dumpster fire. I'm not immune to dumpster fire builds sometimes! Haha
I know this is a Nightmare guide but being a crow and choosing minrathous shouldnt be allowed!! :D I imagine you did it because Lucanis got hardened and it increases his dps but still I don't know if I can do that my poor Treviso

great build and pretty unique from what I've seen. What ended up being your favourite class amongst the three playthroughs you did and why?

Hey, great build guid looks like a lot of fun. What's your recommended Faction choice for nightmare?

Your build is crazy fun to play with. Do you have a Warrior build similar to this ?

Nice build! Does this out perform death caller and spell blade?

i cant find the helmets last upgarde and i dont know if u can miss one of its upgrades
Any idea where to get Garb of kinship ? I’m just missing one for my mage play and can’t find it for the life of me
I know you can get one copy from the special shop in Minrathous called the Black Emporium. The Caretaker unlocks it later in the game with a quest.

So true so true. I shall carry this shame with me. I fast clicked save Minrathous because I was speedrunning. RIP Treviso
