    PoE 3.28 Starter – Kinetic Fusillade Warden

    I found my league starter; Kinetic Fusillade Warden. I played a very similar build but with Elementalist at the very end of the Keepers league (3.27) and really enjoyed it and Lolcohol has retooled the build for Warden due to the Elementalist Golem nerfs. So I am looking forward to trying out this new build.

    One thing I really like about the warden set up is that it starts as a bow build. This should mean the campaign is nice and fast and fairly easy to level through. It then swaps over to Kinetic Fusillade somewhere around act 4/5 once you get all the pieces in place. This will make the rest of the campaign incredible fast and comfy.

    Check out Lolcohol’s build and leveling video if you’re interested in playing this build. He has provided a great Mobalitics leveling guide as well as full Path of Building guides.

  • My Path of Exile 3.28 League Starters

    My Path of Exile 3.28 League Starters

    The Path of Exile 3.28 league is just around the corner so it’s time to pick another league starter. I am currently thinking of three possibilities.

    Kinetic Fusillade

    Kinetic Fusillade is a new skill that was introduced in 3.27 and slowly gained notoriety as the league went on. It is incredibly powerful, but it does have some complexity so it’s not for new players.

    I have been trying this build out over the last few days and it is really powerful. It was one of the easiest campaigns I have done and kills map bosses nice and fast. It does use Golems which have been nerfed, but it should be more than capable as a league starter.

    Smite of Divine Judgement Slayer

    I used this build in 3.26 and really enjoyed. It is really fast at clearing, especially if you use the Vaal version and has really good map boss killing capabilities. It can also be made incredibly tanky. It isn’t as powerful as Kinetic Fusillade, but, as a skill and ascendancy, it was completely missed. So although it wasn’t buffed, it also wasn’t nerfed or changed.

    Holy Hammers

    This is a brand new skill, so no one knows how it’s going to perform. It looks cool and looks promising. You slam the ground and call down holy hammers that can then call down more holy hammers and so on. In addition, the Templar Guardian was buffed, so this might be a promising build.

    Absolution Guardian

    I just saw this starter build and I am intrigued. I am not a huge fan of the Templar, but having the Sentinel as a permanent minion instead of on a timer should make it better.
