Testing begins for Path of Exile’s new league with added champions and smite abilities.

Smite Champion is a blast to play, melting enemies and bosses with ease. But single target damage falls off in red maps. It's a fun skill for mapping, but may not be endgame. Planning to transition to an aura Stacker for more damage. Need to figure out single target damage for red maps. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable leveling experience. Looking forward to testing and improving the build. Stay tuned for updates! 🎮

Introduction 🎮

In this video, we'll be discussing the start of League start testing and the various builds that have been tried out. From Rain of Arrows to Smite Champion, the journey has been eventful.

Trying Different Builds 🛠️

The Rain of Arrows Champion build worked well, but it was time for a change. The Guardian Mirror Arrow of Bombardment build was effective but felt a bit clunky due to the number of buttons required.

Exploring Smite Champion ⚔️

The decision to try out a Smite Champion build for the next League was made. The goal is to create an armor stacker build that can handle red maps and transition into an aura stacker.

Leveling with Smite 🌟

The Smite Champion build proved to be smooth and effective during the early stages. With the right gear and masteries, it was able to clear maps and take down bosses with ease.

Challenges in Red Maps 🗺️

As the character progressed into red maps, the limitations of the build became apparent. Single target damage was lacking, and adjustments needed to be made to improve its effectiveness.

Building Around Smite ⚡

Despite its shortcomings in single target damage, the Smite skill itself was incredibly enjoyable to use. The character was leveled in an SSF environment, and the gear setup was optimized for map clearing.

Gear and Tree Setup 🌳

The character's gear and skill tree were carefully planned to maximize the effectiveness of the Smite Champion build. The focus was on increasing damage and efficiency without overspending on gear that would be replaced later.

A quick map showcase highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the build. While it excelled in clearing packs of mobs, the single target damage left something to be desired.

The character's progression and potential upgrades were discussed, including the possibility of transitioning to a budget entry-level armor stacker build for increased damage and defenses.
