PoE Kingmaker, Vaal Axe Build and Guides
Path of Exile Kingmaker is a unique Despot Axe Weapons. This AXE has more raw DPS than any unique 2H mace and all but two different 2H axes (Disfavour and Kitava's Feast.) It also has more raw DPS than any Unique 2H staff (not including the massive crit bonuses granted by Hege's which will undoubtedly bring it ahead of the Kingmaker.) It is even higher raw dps than all unique 2H swords other than Oro's and Starforge. There are different modes on every unique weapon that affects the DPS, but the Kingmaker is in no way a slouch. Marohi is also a particular case due to it being more focused on significant front end damage instead of straight DPS, which makes it very good, and probably better than Kingmaker, for EQ. Kingmaker is pretty much 450 PDPs, which is a decent DPS for an entry level 2h into maps and that's all. Its bonuses don't lend to anything attack based as well. Argue it's on the same level of power as the lowly Kaom's primacy due to Kaom having a functioning culling strike on Attacks.

NO.3 [Build] Kingmaker Despot Axe Blood Magic Occultist Build
This Build uses Blood Magic for the primary skill. Blood Magic (often referred to as BM) is a passive keystone skill that allows the character to spend life instead of mana to use skills. It also sets maximum mana to zero. For the support, the gem is Blood Magic Support. It causes linked Skills to be paid using life instead of mana, similar to the Blood Magic keystone, but at the expense of a very high mana multiplier.
