Path Of Exile 2 Best Class Combinations: Which Is Suitable For You And Your Friends To Play Co-op In Early Access?

Posted: Feb 07, 2025

While all the classes in Path of Exile 2 Early Access were originally designed for solo exploration, since the addition of couch co-op to this overhauled sequel, more players are exploring the benefits of teamwork and exploring the game more conveniently.

Because of the different ways in which different player abilities, buffs, and ailments interact, co-op makes exploration easier, even with increased enemy health or enhanced combat mechanics. Co-op currently supports up to 6 players, which allows for multiple different classes and builds to be combined for co-op play.

Path Of Exile 2 Best Class Combinations: Which Is Suitable For You And Your Friends To Play Co-op In Early Access?

According to feedback from many current player communities and social media, the most popular combination is 2-player. So this guide will introduce you to some of the two-class combinations that are most suitable for co-op play based on the current properties and stats of the classes, so that you and your friends can have a very smooth and enjoyable exploration!

1. Witch & Warrior

When you explore in POE 2, you will definitely think about whether to choose a Class that focuses on very exciting melee combat or a Class that focuses on ranged attacks with spell damage, which will determine your exploration style in this game.

Now, in cooperative games, you can put it in a battle: Warrior can confront the enemy head-on, while Witch can provide very effective help by casting minions, enemy debuffs, and ally support skills.

Although it is often recommended to place some gear that can increase the spell damage or physical damage of minions in Witch build in regular single-player exploration, it is the opposite in this cooperative combination. You should invest more POE 2 Exalted Orbs in those Witch support skills, especially those skills that can bring ally buffs to your team.

2. Warrior & Sorceress

Since Sorceress and Witch are two classes that split from one class in the original game, it is also a highly complementary cooperation combination with Warrior, but the specific effectiveness still depends on the build used by Sorceress.

For example, a Sorceress build that focuses on lightning damage will cause shock in battle and make these enemies more vulnerable to all melee attacks cast by Warrior, while a Sorceress build that focuses on cold damage can freeze enemies in the arena, making it easier for Warrior to cause higher damage to these controlled enemies and gain some damage reduction from them. 

As for Warrior, it can use its melee ability to attract hatred from the boss or enemies to help all Sorceress skills be in effective range. At the same time, it can also cause high stun damage to the enemy, making the attacked enemy bear more elemental damage from Sorceress.

3. Monk & Ranger

This may surprise you when you see this Classes combination, because they should belong to the same play style in the player’s impression, but in fact they also have super synergy because they can both focus on lightning damage, cold damage, or both.

This means that if you and your friends use this highly similar build in exploration and release the same elemental effects in combat, the elemental ailments of this element will be triggered faster, making your builds have devastating crowd control and damage potential when combined.

In addition, Ranger, who is good at shooting skills such as Snipe, can also cooperate with Monk because it can use Tempest Bell Skill to trigger higher shooting accuracy and amplify the damage of such skills. Generally speaking, this cooperation combination will be very suitable for farming POE 2 Currency and Uniques because the casting speed of damaging skills will be very fast.

4. Mercenary & Sorceress

Similar to the previous combination, since both classes in POE 2 emphasize long-range attack capabilities and need to keep a certain distance from the enemy, players generally think that this combination is counterintuitive, but as long as you choose the right build for it, you will be very surprised.

Among the many choices, Sorceress build that focuses on cold damage can be perfectly combined with a Mercenary build that uses Fragmentation Rounds: the latter will consume the former’s freezing of the enemy and detonate ice crystals to cause more devastating damage.

What’s more, Mercenary’s Oil Grenade also greatly increases the ignite damage spread by Sorceress when using Flame Wall-boosted projectiles by causing fire exposure to the enemy. Not only that, Sorceress’s skills that can cause crowd control will also effectively help Mercenary easily hit the enemy with grenades in combat.

The above are some of the best Classes combinations for two-player cooperative exploration in the current POE 2 Early Access. It should be reminded that the recommendations here are for reference only, because this nearly perfect sequel provides players with a lot of freedom, in which you can try different builds or combinations so that you can find the one that suits you best.

If you encounter slow or stagnant situations in the exploration process of the game because of the lack of currency or items, it is strongly recommended that you enter the giveaway channel in IGGM Discord to enrich all your inventory and save you from this pain. I wish you a happy game!
