There are currently 6 classes available for you to choose and experience in POE 2 Early Access. Each of them has its own unique characteristics, and the way the available skills work is also very different. If you like to summon something to help you in battle, then Witch may be the best POE 2 class for you.
Path of Exile 2 provides Witch with a combat ability similar to that of a necromancer, allowing you to not only use many elemental and chaotic spells when playing this class but also summon the dead as minions to fight for you. With this help, you will farm POE 2 Currency more efficiently, so that you can strengthen your equipment in time before entering the endgame and calmly deal with more difficult game content.
However, after choosing to play POE 2 Witch, whether you want to play the role of a commander on the battlefield or cast spells and cause damage to the enemy by using spells, minions are an important part of your equipment. Only by bringing the most suitable minions based on your combat habits and other foundations can you achieve victory more easily.
Based on this, we will introduce you to the 5 most useful Witch minions in POE 2.
1. Skeletal Brute
This is a relatively large minion in terms of size. He can cause a lot of damage to the enemy with melee attacks, and can further cause tremendous damage to the enemy within the effect range while stunning the enemy by creating a shock wave.
However, along with the above advantages, summoning Skeletal Brute requires more spirit than other summons. This means that although it is a minion with an excellent tank and damage output capabilities, it is not completely worth your priority because of the excessive spirit required.
The best way to use this minion in Path of Exile 2 at present is to combine it with several ranged and magic minions to create a special build. In addition, although Skeletal Brute shows good lethality, it seems a bit weak when you enter the late stage of the game. Fortunately, if you can provide it with enough spirit, it is still very useful in the early stage.
2. Skeletal Reaver
As an upgraded version of Skeletal Warrior, since Skeletal Reaver is easier to obtain in the early stages of POE 2, you may tend to use it frequently in the early stages. In addition, although Skeletal Warrior can withstand more attacks from the enemy, Skeletal Reaver requires fewer summoning materials and can also cause more continuous damage.
It is worth noting that this minion can also be angry. During this period, although it loses health points every second, the damage it causes to the enemy is greatly increased. In order to make full use of this feature, it is recommended that you use it in combination with Skeletal Cleric, so that you can cause greater damage through Skeletal Reaver while letting Cleric continue to heal it, so that you and these minions can survive smoothly until the end of the battle.
3. Skeletal Frost Mage
As you know, the characteristics of Witch class are to combine spell-casting and summoning the army of the undead. If you want to play these two advantages in battle, the appearance of Skeletal Frost Mage minion may do this.
After summoning an army of mages and casting spells for them, the Skeletal Frost Mage can fire ice bombs at enemies for you, which can not only cause considerable area damage but also slow down enemies by applying cold to them, reducing the possibility of them getting close to you to hit you.
However, you need to be aware that Skeletal Frost Mage is more suitable for supporting roles in combat rather than being used as a primary damage dealer. The best way to use it is to use a powerful melee unit such as Skeletal Brute or Skeletal Reaver to attract the enemy’s attention, and then let Skeletal Frost Mage’s ranged ability provide them with damage bonuses.
4. Skeletal Cleric
Like Skeletal Frost Mage, this is also a minion suitable for playing a supporting role. Skeletal Cleric cannot cause damage to the enemy and may not seem powerful, but it can heal and even revive other minions for you, allowing other more powerful minions to last longer in combat, which is very useful for challenging higher-level POE 2 content.
In addition, although summoning Skeletal Cleric does not require you to consume too much spirit, the fact is that running many Clerics at the same time is not entirely conducive to your dominance. The best way to use this minion at present is to add it to your existing builds and mix melee and ranged units for support.
5. Skeletal Arsonist
As a minion that can be unlocked by you early in the game, you will fully feel their power when you first experience the game plot. In specific battles, Skeletal Arsonist mainly causes area damage to enemies by throwing bombs or exploding other minions nearby.
If you can summon other minions as allies for Skeletal Arsonist besides making your gear get more spell power by consuming POE 2 Regal Orbs, then Skeletal Arsonist can play a role beyond your imagination. For example, if you combine it with Skeletal Cleric, you can form a cycle between continuous detonation and revival of minions, so that you can always make enemies be killed by explosions. However, it should be noted that this method may not work well when there are too many enemies.
