Why Pick Huntress in PoE 2?
The Huntress is fast, explosive, and super satisfying to play in Path of Exile 2 Class. Whether you're clearing packs or melting bosses, her combo-based spear playstyle makes leveling feel dynamic and fun.
No complicated setups — just clean, consistent power right from the start.
Starter Setup: Level 1 to 13
Key Skills:
Explosive Spear (Main Skill)
Disengage (Mobility)
Call the Weak (Mobility + Frenzy Charge Gen)
Expedite + Overabundance (Boost DPS early)
Single Target Rotation:
Throw Explosive Spear
Stab 3x with Spear
Repeat (Your spear explodes right as you throw the next = max DPS!)
💡 Pro Tip:
Expedite lowers delay between throws — this is HUGE for DPS and aiming.
Call the Weak helps generate Frenzy charges and lets you zoom around the map.
Level 13 to 21 Transition: Boost Your Burst
Swap to:
Storm Lance (Replace Lightning Spear temporarily)
Still use Explosive Spear for synergy
Combat Pattern:
2x Storm Lance
1x Explosive Spear
Stack them smart = both detonate together for big BOOM.
You’ll clear maps by just laying traps ahead and letting monsters walk into their own doom.
Level 22 and Beyond: Final Core Setup
Time to bring back Lightning Spear
Support with Marshal Temple + Concentrated Effect
Add Primal Strikes for huge single-target DPS
Boss Rotation:
Shock enemy with Lightning Spear
Slam Primal Strikes 3x (Consumes shock for extra debuff/damage)
Repeat
This is where Huntress shines — reliable AoE + boss shred with smooth mechanics.
Beast Companion & Utility (Late Game)

Go jungle farming in Act 3
Look for modifiers like Haste Aura
Disenchant and swap companions freely

Use Herald of Thunder for passive AoE zaps
Slot Innervate + Persistence for longer uptime

Important PSA on Movement Exploit
Right now, there’s an unintended interaction between Rake and Parry that lets you move faster than intended. It will probably get patched, so this guide doesn’t include it.
If you're curious, try it at your own risk — but it’ll likely force you to rework your build after Act 2.
