Since the release of the "Path of Exile 2" Dawn of the Hunt patch, Huntress builds have caught the attention of many players. Among these builds, the Lightning Spear Huntress Amazon Build stands out for its exceptional map clearing speed and exhilarating gameplay experience. Here's a breakdown of the Lightning Spear Huntress Amazon Build in Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt.

 

Leveraging the advantages of the Hunter class, this build transforms precision into devastating elemental damage, making it the top choice for players seeking efficiency and visual impact. Perfect for early character leveling and farming quantities of POE2 Currency to set the foundations for later game.

 

 

Pros VS Cons

Pros:

Exceptional map-clearing speed.​

High DPS even on budget gear.​

 

Cons:

Single-target damage may require skill swapping.​

Managing spirit for multiple skills demands careful resource control.

 

Core Gear Recommendations

Weapon: Grand Spear + Greater Iron Rune

maximum physical or physical + lightning DPS you can get

accuracy on prefix is good as it synergizes with Penetrate

attack speed and critical damage bonus are the best suffixes, but get whatever you can

 

Body Armour: Swiftstalker Coat + 2* Soul Core of Tacati

Spirit and Life are the main priorities

get as much resistances as you can

evasion is less important because we only get half of it due to Stalking Panther passive

 

Helmet: The Black Insignia + Soul Core of Tacati

The Black Insignia is great for mapping - get the best rolls you can afford (they all matter, even evasion)

 

Gloves: Barbed Bracers + Soul Core of Tacati

Attack Speed is your best damage mod here, followed by Critical Damage and Flat Added Damage to Attacks

Get as much Life, Resistances and Evasion as you can

 

Boots: Dragonscale Boots

Prioritize movement speed above everything else

Get as much Life, Resistances and Evasion as you can

 

Ring 1: Emerald Ring

use the ring to fix your attributes and resistances if needed

life, evasion and added damage to attacks are your best prefixes

Emerald base will provide the most damage, but Resistance bases are also great

 

Ring 2: Death Rush

Death Rush has great modifiers for our build, as we benefit from Accuracy more than any other class. This ring is great for clear speed.

 

Belt: Utility Belt

Get as much Life and Resistances as you can

Charm slots are useful but not mandatory

Utility Belt base is best for survivability due to instant recovery from your flasks

 

Amulet: Jade Amulet

Spirit, Life and Attributes are the main priorities

Anoint Price of Freedom to help with mana issues

 

Charms: Thawing Charm, Stone Charm, Gold Charm

 

Skill Gems

Lightning Spear: Supported by Martial Tempo, Primal Armament, Longshot, Volt, Bullseye

Primal Strikes: Supported by Pursuit, Concentrated Effect, Lightning Infusion, Elemental Focus, Excoriate

Thunderous Leap: Supported by Fist of War, Hit and Run

Disengage: Supported by Rage

Companion: {0}: Supported by Meat Shield, Elemental Army, Loyalty

Cast on Shock: Supported by Sniper's Mark, Lifetap, Impetus, Profusion

Wind Dancer: Supported by Precision, Clarity

Herald of Thunder: Supported by Innervate, Magnified Effect, Persistence, Neural Overload, Electrocute

Infuse Weapon: Supported by Cold Mastery, Fire Mastery, Lightning Mastery, Execute

Combat Frenzy

 

Combat Frenzy + Herald of Thunder with Electrocute and Neural Overload can generate frenzy charges, as less spirit intensive alternative to the Cast on Shock with Sniper's Mark. You can also self cast the Sniper's Mark and generate frenzy charges that way. You can also swap between the  Combat Frenzy setup for clear and Companion: {0} for bossing if your spirit doesn't allow you to fit everything.

 

Spirit Management

Typically you won't have enough spirit to run all 5 Buffs, so pick which ever one is least important for you. I like skipping Wind Dancer, but you might want to drop the Companion: {0} or Cast on Shock, in which case you want to run profusion in Combat Frenzy. You can also pick up reservation nodes for the Companion: {0} and Herald reservation nodes, and if you're not running the Companion: {0}, then spec out of those nodes.

 

Passive Tree

The Weapon Set 2 pasives Freedom of Movement and Unhindered are there just to be able to swap your weapon to set 2 for maps with Temporal Chains in order to mitigate the slow and be faster.

 

The recommended Ascendancy Passives order is Critical Strike, Stalking Panther, Penetrate (if you have flat Accuracy on your weapon), Elemental Infusion

 

Permanent Buffs

Act 3 - Stun Threshold

Act 6 - +5 to all Attributes
