Introduction

Greetings Builders! The next PoE league is coming on March 29th, and with a few weeks left in the Affliction League, it's time for the traditional top 12 builds video. This video covers the 12 builds that I had the most fun playing during this amazing league and it will be divided into four parts. Stay tuned to check them out before we start preparing for the Necropolis League. Of course, don't forget to share your own list in the comments and leave a thumbs up to support the channel. Thank you very much and let's get into it.

12th Place: Hex Blast M Saot 🌌

This build features the Shadow class using the hex blast skill. The hex blast is a powerful skill that does a lot of extra damage if the enemy it hits is already cursed. Notably, it creates a big burst of damage that destroys all nearby monsters. The pros of this build include its powerful performance with low investment, cheap and easy-to-find items, and fast clear speed. However, it is not very tanky, and players need to be cautious of their position to avoid dying. On a budget, this build is relatively inexpensive.

11th Place: Tox King Pathfinder 🏹

This build utilizes the Ranger class for perpetual ailment and chaos damage. It is easy to put together and suitable for beginners. However, the main issue with this build is mana management. On a budget, it is viable to start destroying early in-game maps with around 100 Kos. The clear speed gets a rating of nine out of ten due to its highly effective flask usage, making damage over time appear trivial. The boss damage also gets a nine out of ten rating, while the survivability rating is also nine out of ten due to high evasion, armor, and spell suppression.

10th Place: Nightblade Flicker Strike Raider 🗡️

This build, featuring the Ranger class, offers over 10 million DPS, excellent speed, damage, and survivability. However, it requires some mandatory unique and rare items, making it relatively expensive and not a starter-friendly build. The clear speed gets a perfect rating of ten out of ten, showcasing impressive gameplay and boss damage. The survivability also achieves a rating of nine out of ten, with nearly 100,000 effective HP.

Conclusion

That wraps up our first look at the top 12 Affliction builds. If you've played any of these builds during this league, please share your experiences in the comments and leave a thumbs up to support the channel. Have an amazing day and keep building! 🎮
