Best Path of Exile Melee Builds You Can Use
In this guide, we will introduce you to several of the best Path of Exile melee builds, and you can use them in the game. They have the best and strongest viability, harm, and defensiveness.
• Lacerate Slayer Beginner-Friendly Build
The Lacerate Slayer is a brute that decimates enemies from medium range with a two-handed Sword. Lacerate releases two damaging waves consecutively when you attack; the skill also has 25% Chance to Bleed enemies and deals 25% more damage with hits against Bleeding targets.
It's pretty versatile for leveling as you can use a Sword or an Axe, both will be great. Overall a very easy skill to use that has enjoyable mechanics and most beginners will pick this one as their best starter skill for Blight.
As a beginner, this type of build is great if you're trying to save some PoE currency for some bigger builds. This build is HC, SC, and even SSF viable and you're guaranteed to have a fun time if you pick this one as it shreds through content.
• Bleed Gladiator Double Striker Melee Build
Gladiator is a perfect class for a classic sword and board fighter build. It provides great defenses with high Block Chance and decent Life pool, which require very little investments in equipment. This makes Gladiator class perfectly fit for a League Starter build, which is one of the most cost-effective classes in Path of Exile.
This Double Strike Gladiator build is very enjoyable to play. Thanks to high Life pool, 6 Endurance Charges, and very high Block Chance, you can ignore most of the threat, while dealing with very high Physical Damage with the Double Strike attack. Monsters around you die in bloody explosions dealing massive AoE damage and for us, personally, Bleed is the most visually appealing type of builds.
The Bleed Gladiator Double Striker can do all content material in the game with a minimal budget. It points tremendous survivability– evasion, block and blind, and also high damage which makes it a great boss killer and a lab farmer melee build.
Since it's a very cheap build, you can probably use it as a starter construct for new leagues and the most exciting aspect about it is that you can swap abilities (double strike/lacerate/remove) to add some diversity.
• Heavy Strike Perma Stun Build
The Heavy Strike Slayer is a character that heavily specializes in Stunning and Bleeding enemies. The build uses the Crimson Dance keystone notable, which allows you to inflict a maximum of 8 Bleeds instead of one, but with lesser effectiveness; overall this is more damage than the regular single Bleed effect.
A Heavy Strike Stun build path used to be just for the memes, but now it's a truly viable, robust choice for all content material be it bosses, delves, or maps. The goal of this build is that you permanently stun lock the whole thing and slam it till it's dead.
• Facebreaker Scion Ascendant Unarmed High Budget Build
This build focuses on using the Facebreaker Gloves and Rigwald's Curse amulet in order to do a lot of unarmed fundamental damage. The build can deal with notable amounts of damage, has 5000+ life and you can get both offense and defense up even more with a Loreweave chest piece.
The main idea behind the build is utilizing Facebreaker's unique gloves. They give a huge multiplier to the flat physical damage you get from other sources, as long as you are not wielding a weapon. Wearing the gloves and stacking flat physical damage anywhere you can result in huge damage output when using Ancestral Warchief totems. We choose the Ascendant because of the additional totem from Hierophant and leech via Chieftain. Vaal Ancestral Warchief brings great utility to the build since it turns your immobile totems into leaping ones that deal even more damage. Picking Resolute Technique solves the issue of your totems missing their hits. Stacking a great amount of physical damage means Hatred and similar effects are that much stronger. Herald of Purity is great for the build, because of the flat physical damage it provides.
An element to be aware is that this construct will now not work except Facebreakers and Rigwald's Curse (which will each be definitely pricey in the melee meta), alongside that you'll also want Loreweave if you desire to address this construct in HC Blight and be safe. As such, you will have to invest at least a few exalts to make this build work on softcore, and a couple more on hardcore.
• Ice Crash Juggernaut High DPS Melee Tank
Ice Crash received a lot of massive buffs that made it a clearly robust melee ability for the Path of Exile Blight. This construct is surely tanky: 78% all resistances, 6000 existence, and a lot of physical harm mitigation. On pinnacle of that, it additionally manages to attain excessive DPS numbers and you'll be wonderful enemies most of the time which makes it a very safe, budget starter friendly construct to play for PoE Blight. The build points a particularly fast playstyle for mapping due to the fact you can soar slam into a pack, Ice crash, leap slam into the subsequent pack, and repeat.
While the build doesn't have the greatest potential in SSF or Hardcore, it's still a wonderfully fun build to play. The setup is relatively simple, it's just a matter of having the right gear to begin converting as much damage to Cold as possible.
Offensively the build is very simple. Just Leap Slam in and spam out Ice Crash in packs to freeze them and shatter their faces. Bosses are a bit trickier. Use your Totem to deal extra DPS while dropping Ice Crash whenever you can. It's a bit harder to DPS constantly, but knowing boss fights helps a lot for knowing when to attack.
Defensively you will need to rely on Armour for Physical Damage mitigation in many cases, and with enough Life mods, you can be fairly tanky. However, face-tanking can get you killed past Red Maps, so learn boss fights and their mechanics. Status ailments can still be pretty deadly, so learning what ailments bosses can cause and targeting your Pantheon Minor God to mitigating that is useful.
The only drawback is that you won't be in a position to run elemental replicate maps (which is no longer a massive deal, not many builds can run elemental reflect, especially these on a budget). This melee build is hardcore, softcore and solo self-found viable.
