Greetings, Exiles! Today, we’re going to go over the top 15 PoE 3.25 league starter builds for super-fast clear speed for the Necro Settlers Event. If you’re looking for the best builds to tackle this November event at the endgame of the Path of Exile 3.25 league, look no further. These builds focus on speed, damage, and survivability, giving you everything you need to dominate maps and bosses quickly.
PoE 3.25 Best Builds for Necro Settlers Event
To make your waiting time for PoE 3.26 and PoE 2, GGG is rolling out the endgame event - Settlers 2.0 Event for PoE 3.25. This is the great time to practice new league starters, new league-start Atlas progressions and to get your free Mystery Box. To progress and farm effectively in the event, we do suggest you set up the builds that focus on efficient map clearing and farming will thrive due to the increased loot and pack size from the Necropolis Devoted Modifiers. With the absence of the more punishing Haunted Modifiers, players can focus less on extreme defense and more on offensive scaling, making fast-clearing builds as minion builds, bow characters (e.g., Tornado Shot), and powerful spellcasters (e.g., Lightning Conduit or Cold DoT) highly effective. The event rewards quick progression, so builds that can mow through large packs quickly will benefit the most from the enhanced loot drops, allowing for faster gearing and trading opportunities.
