PoE 3.18 – 5 Powerful League Starters in 5 Minutes (Powerful Non-Meta Builds)

Well well, we all got surprised that there are no buffs and no nerfs this time around. I like it, because I really enjoy the state of the game at the moment. But what I don't like is to start with the same build each league.

If you are looking for inspiration on decent league starters and don't want to play EA Ballistas, Seismic Traps or Skeleton Mages again, then you have come to the right place. I go over the very basics of the builds here and if you want to dive deeper into any one of them, please go to the original creator and leave them a like for their hard work.

This build list contains only builds that have proven themselves already but haven't gotten much attention yet. Okay okay, Elemental Spectral Helix is a little bit meta, but still much less played than other builds and because it is so stupidly overpowered I thought I'd incorporate it here.
