POE2 Witch Corpse Starter Build

A decision-first corpse spell setup route for players who want setup-based burst from corpses.

Decision answer

POE2 Witch Corpse Starter Build is for players deciding whether Detonate Dead should be their main skill direction. Keep the first version narrow: one main skill, two support tools, and clear defensive priorities before chasing endgame scaling.

Leveling plan

  1. Use Detonate Dead as the main identity before adding extra damage packages.
  2. Add Unearth when clear, control, or boss pressure starts to fall behind.
  3. Upgrade defenses whenever deaths cost more time than low damage does.
