1. Demon Form

Class: Witch

Ascendancy: Infernalist

Let's start with this super fun build, the Demon Form Infernalist with the Witch Class. This build relies on life regeneration per second and life regeneration when damage is taken to sustain hundreds of stacks of Demon Flame, which not only grants 25% increased cast speed and +6 to a level of all spell skills but also over 4000% increased spell damage.

Pros

Awesome Clear Speed

Boss Destroyer

Super Fun

Cons

Deals damage to itself

Few defensive layers

Relies on Demonflame stacks

Expensive

Hard to build

Budget

To play this build: you need at least 10 Divine orbs to make this build work.

Mandatory Unique

You need two mandatory unique items for this build. The first is a Ghostwrithe Body Armor that converts 50% of your life into Energy Shield. Having a low life is essential for you to be able to sustain as many Demon Flame stacks as possible.

Next, and for the same reason, we need to equip two Ming's Hearts that grant up 24% reduced maximum life each.

 

Clear Speed 10/10

Single Target Damage 10/10

Survivability 6/10

 

2. Mighty Thor

Class: Warrior

Ascendancy: Titan

Next, it's time to smite our enemies with the Hammer of the Gods Titan, with the Warrior class. I'm going to be honest with you guys and say that I wasn't really excited to try the Warrior Class, but man, how wrong I was. This ended up being one of the most fun and well-rounded builds I've ever played. It's fast, strong, and has amazing survivability. I can't believe I almost missed all this fun just because of simple peer pressure.

Pros

Great Clear Speed

Huge Boss Damage

Almost Unkillable

Cons

Needs a Lot of Strength

To Use Giant's Blood

Budget

To clear low-tier maps: 3 sockets + cheap gear need about 60 Exalted orbs.

To clear mid-tier maps: 4 sockets + mod gear need about 100 Exalteds.

To complete high-tier maps: 5 sockets + good gear need about 6 Divine orbs.

 

Clear Speed 9/10

Single Target Damage 10/10

Survivability 10/10

 

3. Tempest Flurry

Class: Mercenary

Ascendancy: Gemling Legionnaire

Finally, we have the amazing Tempest Flurry Gemling Legionnaire with the Mercenary class. I know that when you guys hear about attribute stacking, you instantly think that it costs hundreds of divine orbs to make. But no, to put your hearts at ease, I'll let you know that the results you're seeing in this gameplay were achieved with these attributes that are totally doable with something around 10 divine orbs.

Pros

Insane Clear Speed

Boss Destroyer

High Sur Visibility

Currency Farmer

Super Fun

Cons

Not So Cheap

Needs 3 Mandatory Uniques

Budget

To play this build: you need at least 10 Divine orbs to make this build work.

Mandatory Unique

You need 3 mandatory unique items for this build. The first one is the Pillar of the Caged God, which grants 2% increased area of effect per 5 intelligence, 2% increased attack speed per 5 dexterity, and 10% increased damage per 5 strength.

Next, we need the Hand of Wisdom and Action, which grants 3% increased attack speed per 25 dexterities and lightning damage per 10 intelligence points.

Finally, we also need the Morior Invictus Body Armor with increased attributes and spirit per socketed runes. This armor can hold up to 4 runes at a time, which means up to 20% increased attributes and plus 40 spirits. On the cons, I said that it was hard to get elemental resistance for this build. To remediate that you can get plus 20% to all elemental resistance here using soul cores.

 

Clear Speed 10/10

Single Target Damage 10/10

Survivability 10/10

 

Conclusion

Here is the ending of these top three huge AoE builds for PoE 2.
