Unique, wonky and off-meta builds?

Hey, one thing I love about this game is the possibility to make builds that aren't necessarily the strongest, but are complex and interesting. For example in POE1 the witches that would use widow hail bow. Or warriors that use wands. I'm currently theory crafting a Smith of Kitava that uses Doomfletch with Bursting Decay and/or The Lethal Draw (not sure if it's even feasible), but I was curious to hear any other builds you think are cool. Could be builds in the theory stage or ones that have been proven.

Lich Frostbolt Sire of Shards

# Core Highlights: * **Sire of Shards:** \+4 projectiles, casts in a circle ā€” perfect synergy with Frostbolt's piercing and AoE nature. * **Dual Frostbolt setup:** One manually cast, the other triggered via **Cast on Freeze** for layered projectile spam. * **Snakepit (Left slot):** Converts Frostbolt to **Fork** ā€” multiplying hits and enabling chain effects. * **Ball Lightning (Triggered):** Shocks enemies automatically on freeze ā€” synergizes with crowd control. * **Grip of Winter:** Boosts **Freeze Buildup** and **Chill Magnitude** ā€” enabling rapid and consistent freezes. * **Blasphemy + Hypothermia Curse Aura:** Lowers enemies' Cold Resistance in an AoE ā€” big damage boost and smoother freezes. * **Mana Remnants:** Automatically replenishes Mana on crits and kills ā€” smooth sustained casting. # āš™ļø Scaling & Strengths: * Build scales with **Freeze uptime**, **projectile mechanics**, and **ailment synergy**. * Dominates in **clear speed**, great visual flair, and layered automation. * Perfect for fans of **trigger builds**, **projectile spam**, and **cold-themed casters**. šŸ“˜ **Planner:** [https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/h5dnf08x](https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/h5dnf08x)

Tips for xbow tactician? (glacial bolt + galvanic shards)

Bossing feels amazing with glacial bolt, but I swapped out seige cascade for mapping because it's just so mana hungry, even with inspiration and 2% mana on kill. I'm using galvanic shards instead, which is good up until about 40% delirious on T15s, and then the damage falls off. Any tips on things I could change to improve the damage? šŸ™ (I have deepest tower for bossing, but ES isn't high enough for high-end mapping) [https://poe2.ninja/pob/9f66](https://poe2.ninja/pob/9f66)

What passives do i take?

So how would i know which passive nodes are really strong and which are bait? I am playing as a merc and I am wondering for example if the armor and evasion nodes are strong, both next to the starting area (Feel no pain and backup plan) and further away (leather bound gauntlets and generals bindings). Do I just take them and hope i feel a significant difference? Are there any tier lists for passives (not made by a bad youtuber for views). Any tips are appreciated!!

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
