Build Guide

The Intelligence stacking Kinetic Blast / Power Siphon Deadeye is one of the strongest builds in the game for clearing large groups of enemies while still having solid single target damage. This build has one of the highest damage ceilings in the game with investment. Kinetic Blast fires a large amount of projectiles around the screen when fighting groups of enemies and Power Siphon is used as your single target attack. If you would like to try out the Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon Deadeye you can find a guide for it here Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon Deadeye Guide.

2. Acc. Stacking Lightning Strike Juggernaut (Marauder)

Build Guide

The damage ceiling for accuracy stacking Lightning Strike Juggernaut may not be as high as Kinetic Blast but it's one of the strongest melee builds in the game both offensively and defensively. With investments in more expensive gear and more expensive jewels the damage of this build can get rather high. If you are interested in trying the Accuracy Stacking Lightning Strike Juggernaut build you can find a guide for the build here Accuracy Stacking Lightning Strike Juggernaut.

3. Armour Stacking Smite Champion (Duelist)

The Armour Stacking Smite of Divine Judgment Champion is the best armour stacking build in Path of Exile.

Build Guide

The Armour Stacking Smite Champion can amass a very large amount of armour to greatly increase its damage while also greatly improving its defenses. Both the Determination aura and the Grace aura will be used to increase your armour by a very large amount with this build. Nearby enemies will also have lightning resistance equal to yours and your lightning damage will be mitigated by your armour. If you would like to try out the Armour Stacking Smite Champion a guide for it can be found here Armour Stacking Smite Champion.

4. Dexterity Stacking Siege Ballista Hierophant (Templar)

Siege Ballista Hierophants are greatly improved by their dexterity which allows for very high damage with excellent gear.

Mapping: 10/10 Delve: 8/10 Heist: 8/10 Damage: 9/10 Safety: 9/10 Bosses: 9/10

Build Guide

The Dexterity Stacking Ice Shot Deadeye could have easily filled this spot but it has been excluded from the best attribute stacking builds because it can be done better with a high damage physical bow with less currency investment. The Siege Ballista Hierophant is another strong dexterity stacking build that utilizes dexterity to increase its damage and the number of Siege Ballista totems the player can have out at once. If you are interested in trying out the totem based Dexterity Stacking Siege Ballista Hierophant build you can find a guide for it here Siege Ballista Hierophant Guide.

Build Guide

The Strength Stacking Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon Berserker is comparable with the Intelligence Stacking Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon Deadeye. It's debatable which is better. This build is a life build where as the Kinetic Blast Deadeye is a energy shield build. Which build to use is up to personal preference. If you would like to try out the Strength Stacking Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon Berserker life build a guide for it can be found here Kinetic Blast Berserker Guide.

HM2. Intelligence Stacking Icestorm Ascendant (Scion)

The second honorable mention goes to the Intelligence Stack Icestorm Ascendant which was nerfed in a previous patch.

Path of Exile Icestorm Ascendant A3_edited.jpg

Build Guide

The Intelligence Stacking Icestorm Cyclone Ascendant was heavily nerfed in a previous patch which limited the number of Icestorms to five Icestorms at a time which greatly reduced its single target damage. It now requires very high intelligence to compete with other builds. If you would still like to try out the Intelligence Stacking Icestorm Cyclone Ascendant build a guide for it can be found here Icestorm Cyclone Ascendant Guide.
