POE 3.7 Slayer Popular Build - Blade Flurry + Frost Blades Guide
This build is good clearspeed, and if you are looking for a build which can melt bosses and have a good clearspeed, you're in a good place. This build is introduced Slayer Frost Blades + Blade Flurry I used as a league starter for 3.7 Legion.

POE 3.7 Trickster Popular Build - Essence Drain, High DPS Guide
INTRO:
This is my take on ED-Contagion trickster. It focuses on much more defenses than other ED guides you will find out there while achieving similar to higher damage numbers. While there are many other ED guides out there, the concepts shown here are the ones that prove to work best overall. This build has around 1.1M ED dps, 7k EHP and 2k effective regeneration per second. As any ed build, it relies on Essence drain and contagion for map clear and regeneration. It also has a 6 free sockets in your chest where you can put any chaos dot skill to effectively double your dps.
ASCENDANCY:
1. Patient Reaper
2. Ghost Dance
3. Escape Artist

POE 3.7 Deadeye Popular Build - Tornado Shot Guide
INTRO:
This build is Deadeye most popular Tornado Shot build. It's extremely fast, with Mirage Archer clearing everything for you; extremely powerful, with all the Bosses down even when optimized for maximum Movement Speed; and budget-friendly, as you can easily farm high Tier Maps with just 5-linked Tempest Bow. This Deadeye build balances both "bow" and "summoner" aspects by attacking with Tornado Shot, Clones and Sentinels to deal pure physical damage. The majority of utility skills are triggered through Asenath's Chant, while clones are automatically summoned through Maloney's Mechanism.
With major changes to Passive Skill Tree introduced in Patch 3.7, making an Elemental Bow build is much easier. Both Master Fletcher and King of the Hill now apply their bonuses to ALL types of Bows instead of just Physical ones.
PROS & CONS:
+ insane clear speed
+ high single-target DPS
+ can do all content
+ can reach over 200% increased Movement Speed
- can't do Elemental Reflect Maps
- this build is Mana-thirsty, and you may need to use a Mana Flask on lower levels
ASCENDANCY:
1. Far Shot

POE 3.7 Berserker Popular Build - Reave Claw Guide
INTRO:
Do you want to zoom through maps and clear at a safe distance while still taking advantage of all the melee buffs? Do you wish to become a Greek God and take on hordes of Legion mobs? Then this build is for you! This build is also awesome for the Legion mechanics, as Berserker speed combined with Reave's huge area of effect will help us unlock as many statues as possible and, with all of our defenses, it is safe and easy to cull the hordes.
PROS & CONS:
+ Most of our endgame gear is cheap (both endgame claws cost 2c)
+ Massive Reave aoe, attack speed, and movement speed means clear will be amazing
+ Great dps with budget gear, bosses will no longer feel like shit with reave
+ with the aoe, instant leech, damage reduction from auras, and high evade chance, build should handle massive legion mobs with ease
- cannot do physical reflect maps
- Zerker does not have built in defenses through ascendancy, though we do a lot to solve this (blind, enfeeble/stone/reduced damage from blinded enemies, instant leech)
- Rage takes a bit to stack up (8 seconds), meaning phase/instanced bosses such as shaper won't be as clean of a kill.
- Reave cannot compete with skills like Blade Flurry/Vaal Double Strike for top end single target dps
ASCENDANCY:
1. Crave the Slaughter
2. Flawless Savagery
3. An aspect of Carnage (or Rite of Ruin)

POE 3.7 Ascendant Popular Build - Cyclone Detailed Guide
INTRO:
This build is POE 3.7 Ascendant popular build for cyclone, and I think it's very great. Cyclone has received several buffs in Patch 3.7 Legion and is set to be a very strong skill for both clear and bosses. With the Gladiator changes and reworks, this Ascendancy has become a fantastic all-rounder that blends offense and defense seamlessly, with organic Frenzy and Endurance Charge generation.
PROS & CONS:
+ Great League Starter
+ Good end-game
+ Great defenses
+ Multiple configurations
+ Very fast
- Cyclone is a polarizing “love it or hate it” skill
- Requires careful play on difficult bosses to dodge mechanics
- Cyclone is not really viable until the end-game — leveling must be done using a skill such as Sunder Sunder

POE 3.7 Champion Popular Build - Cyclone, High/Hit Frequency DPS Guide
INTRO:
This build is Champion revolves around Impale mechanics, which even further increases your damage, and with very high Hit frequency that Cyclone offers, you stack Impale within seconds. This build is one of the best Boss-slayers we have ever played, with all of them melting in seconds including Shaper and his Guardians.
PROS & CONS:
+ Everything melts in seconds
+ Extremely mobile build which uses Whirling Blades with greatly increased speed
+ High DPS
+ One of the most satisfying Melee builds out there
+ Great for a League Starter
- Can't do Physical Reflect Maps

POE 3.7 Juggernaut Popular Build - Cyclone Detailed Guide
INTRO:
The build uses Cyclone or blade flurry for both its clear and boss killing gem and it has worked very well for me ever since the changes to melee in 3.7. This will be my first successful build and I have played since Essence League so this is a huge milestone for me to be able to kill Uber Elder on my own without looking at any guides.
PROS & CONS:
+ Decent mapper, gems can be swapped to clear
+ Insane boss killer
+ The crit sound is satisfying to hear
+ Immune to temporal chains

- Can't do Phys reflect
- No sexy herald effects to look at

POE 3.7 Gladiator Build - Lacerate + Ancestral Warchieft Guide
INTRO:
The overall cost of This Build is really low, and the most expensive equipment on the body may not be more than 40c at this stage. The opening of the axe is really easy to use, and the room for improvement is still very large. For example, the master's main hand weapon, the smashing clothes, the best alloy ring, etc., the blood volume can also be improved, the problem should not be large until 6300.
Gladiator thanks to the bleed explosion, has an amazing game feeling, it is very rewarding. This is Bleed and a lot of damage comes from Bleed and his possession. Gladiator also has a smaller entry threshold, it is easier at the beginning of the league on maps thanks to the explosion, it has a greater attack speed and movement speed which makes it a great mapper. The fact that it is bleed limited skills, Gladiator works well only with Lacerate and Double Strike after changes in 3.7 Lacerate denied Double, I do not see much sense to go in Double but if someone likes this skill it works great, only AoE or rather its lack only explosions keep it somehow. The further the content of bleed is in content, unfortunately, although it did not prevent me from doing all the content.
PROS & CONS:
+ Cheap and Safe
+ Probably all content viable
+ No uniques required
+ High survivability
+ Amazing feeling and the pleasure of playing
- Hard to Check real DPS
- A lot of possibilities,
- Damage is solid but nothing special

POE 3.7 Guardian Popular Build - Righteous Fire Guidel
INTRO:
This build achieves extreme amounts of Energy Shield, Armour, and Maximum Resistances, which allows you to land smooth and safe kills on endgame bosses. The build is also not recommended for beginner players since it requires some game knowledge and specific items and gem setups in order to work. Righteous Fire has been a popular skill for a long time. The skill essentially degenerates player's life and energy shield pool in order to create a burning circle around the character. Righteous Fire has a decent clear speed along with the potential to kill all endgame bosses.
PROS & CONS:
+ Hardcore viable
+ Great for boss killing
+ One of the tankiest builds available
+ Decent clear speed
- Not recommended for new players
- Cannot be played since the beginning of the game; requires respecting

POE 3.7 Pathfinder Popular Build - Toxic Rain, Friendly, Budget Guide
INTRO:
Toxic rain didn't change in 3.7, but the tree got much more damage, at least 20% more damage total! Toxic rain is stronger than before, and this build is here to show you how. This build is just a mixing up of all the best things PF and TR have to offer. You can realistically expect a nice leveler for a low budget and an Uber Elder Killer with less than 10-12 exalts mid-league.
Why not use Herald of Agony?
HoA is increasingly better the more mana reservation it has. But even with a 6L, it cannot compare in terms of a number of hits to the 4 totems for withering touch. Also, the spore duration allows an area to keep doing damage even if the enemy moves because you create a floor mantle of spores around enemies. Also, while with HoA you have an autonomous source of damage besides your character, with the 4 totems you have 2 autonomous sources, which can be useful for things like Breach, and for keeping a constant flow of damage while you move around.
What about Caustic Arrow?
With this build, CA is useless against bosses, very slow. It does give you better map clearspeed, even on T16 maps, because of the faster burst of damage it produces at the start compared to TR...but you will have trouble killing syndicate members in maps. Also, survivability is decreased, since you don't leech almost any life (at least TR has many hits, so leeching while not great, still helps a bit).
Note: use it in a bow if you want, never in totems...useless.
PROS & CONS:
+ Very strong DPS for bosses
+ Ranged, so more survivability
+ Medium-high HP depending on options
+ Can do all map mods
- Not as tanky as other builds
- Totem playstyle not for everyone
- Can become difficult to see stuff in the map with so many spores!

POE 3.7 Saboteur Popuar Build - Lightning Trap Guide
INTRO:
Lightning Spire Trap Lightning Spire Trap is your big cooldown trap, a very powerful trap that destroys tougher foes. It also gains increased critical chance against Shocked enemies, the same way Lightning Trap does. This is why using Vaal Lightning Trap Vaal Lightning Trap against bosses is very important since it leaves Shocked ground, which allows you to Shock even endgame bosses. Overall, the Lightning Trapper Saboteur is a type of build that specializes in throwing very hard-hitting lightning-based traps in order to clear maps and kill strong bosses. The build can also achieve a respectable life pool, while also relying on defensive mechanics like Mind over Matter, Acrobatics, and Phase Acrobatics for the additional dodge chance.

POE 3.7 Chieftain Popular Build - Cyclone Detailed Guide
INTRO:
This seems like a fun build to play. This is a Chieftain Cyclone CWC Blade Vortex(BV) build. The concept is to get BV stacks started by using cyclone while still moving. It also uses Vaal RF for boss fights. You can use regular righteous fire as needed and just use a life flask with "of dousing: to end the effect so you don't kill yourself with fire. This build focuses on the easily accessible life nodes and uses a staff. This build is mostly writing it to get feedback on how the build should grow, or make it better. I think it's pretty solid as is, at 1.3M DPS 6k Life (Could be more) and 90% Physical reduction.
PROS & CONS:

Although Elementalist is not popular build in POE 3.7 League, I personally still like this profession. Storm Brand Elementalist offers excellent clear speed and capable boss damage.

POE 3.7 Raider Popular Build - Tornado Shot Guide
INTRO:
This build is a very good League build. It does not require any specific uniques, all you need to get you through mid-tier maps is a decent DPS bow and flat added physical damage rings and amulet. Tornado Shot is one of the most popular bow skills in Path of Exile. And obviously, Ranger is pretty much the most suitable class to use it. All 3 Ranger Ascendency classes are extremely good, and choosing one of them has always been a close call. Raider is currently the best Ranger Ascendancy class for the end-game viable Tornado Shot Ranger build.
PROS & CONS:
+ Very high damage and great AoE
+ Safe and Good - with no expensive unique items required
+ Scales extremely well end-game with proper gear and high DPS bows
+ Very fast clear speed
- Can get one shotted by end-game bosses and high physical DPS attacks

POE 3.7 Hierophant Popular Build - Freezing Pulse Totems Guide
INTRO:
This is my Freezing Pulse Totem Guide for the Hierophant. Two changes in 3.7 made me explore Freezing Pulse again for Spell Totem: the fix for Freezing Pulse getting blocked by doorways and other simple environmental objects, and the addition of the "Sanctum of Thought" passive skill tree notable which allows for us to easily get 100% reduced effect of Curses on ourselves. So the two big annoyances I previously had with this build are now eliminated, and it has become an extremely powerful and safe build with very few downsides. This build clears extremely well, has more than capable single target damage, completely ignores Curses and is very safe while doing all of it due to the consistent Chill and Freeze effects.
PROS & CONS:
+ Easy to cap resists
+ Cheap and Safe
+ Can go Magic Find
+ Do it all.
+ Mind over Matter.
+ Transitions nicely from leveling to mapping without any problems and big investments
- Totems are not for everyone.

POE 3.7 Inquisitor Popular Build - Storm Call Guide
This build is friendly to this league, solo-self-found viable, and comprehensive Storm Brand Inquisitor guide. It's a really strong build and I would love to hear opinions. The leveling section in this guide is meant to take players with a fresh install or in a fresh league and get them into maps and started on a powerful character. Interested readers can find gear priority, stat suggestions, mechanics explanations, and a whole bunch of links that might be useful for newer players. If you're new and want to get through the story and get off to a good start I recommend reading through the guide completely before starting.
PROS & CONS:
+ Hardcore viable
+ Budget-friendly
+ Fun and active playstyle
+ Strong clear speed in all map tiers.
+ Fairly strong boss damage.
