Overview
A build guide and gameplay demonstration showcases a two-handed mace fire setup in Path of Exile 2, covering skill gem links, passive tree allocations, trash clearing, and an Act 2 boss encounter.
The build utilizes Leap Slam to stun and Bone Shatter to clear enemies alongside Herald of Ash explosions, while Perfect Strike and Mace Strike provide single-target boss damage.
An initial death occurs during the Act 2 boss fight due to an electrical hazard while charging an attack, but the boss is defeated on a subsequent attempt, yielding loot criticized as inferior to normal mob drops.
Themes
Skill gems and support combinations for the two-handed mace fire build.
Passive tree node prioritization including fire damage, melee bonuses, armor, stun, and life regeneration.
Assessment of melee skills including Leap Slam, Bone Shatter, Rolling Slam, spins, and sweeps.
Act 2 boss combat mechanics, hazards, and loot quality.
Developments
An initial death occurs during the Act 2 boss fight when escaping an electricity hazard fails during an attack wind-up.
A Perfect Strike hits the boss for roughly 25,000 damage, pushing the encounter into its sandstorm phase.
The boss's armor breaks, allowing subsequent attacks to transition the fight into phase two.
The boss is defeated using Mace Strike as potion supplies deplete.
Uncertainties & gaps
Whether nodes boosting damage against burning enemies are worthwhile is uncertain because enemies typically die in a single hit before burns take effect.
Initial uncertainty existed over whether early Perfect Strike attacks against the boss missed or merely failed to noticeably deplete the health bar.
It is unknown whether incorporating Infernal Cry increases damage during the boss encounter.
