POE2 Witch Builds

Use this page to decide whether Witch is the safest starter route and whether minion gameplay fits you.

Default answer

Start Witch if you want safer positioning and minions absorbing pressure. Skip it if you dislike summon management or want direct weapon impact.

You want minions, safer boss learning, and a forgiving first character.

You want full manual damage control, weapon-first gameplay, or faster melee tempo.
