Kelvynn PoE's Notes

If you don't like tower defense games, you can do blighted maps in PoE without any towers. Instead of spending your time thinking, planning, building and upgrading the towers, you can spend it on simply killing the monsters. As long as your character is powerful and mobile enough. The mini-map in the corner of the screen has all the information you need for this strategy. I don't look at the main screen at all, except for briefly checking the bosses.

Rampage and Blood Rage are perfect for this. I use Sinvicta's Mettle as a swap weapon (a very cheap unique) just to start Rampage.
