In Path of Exile 2 the build meta is never settled for long. Every patch GGG reworks skill and support gems, drops new uniques, and retunes ascendancies — so a build that prints on the leaderboard one week can get gutted the next. Runes of Aldur (0.5, Return of the Ancients) reshuffled the whole endgame, and the 0.5.4 dot patches kept moving the goalposts with a new Atlas passive tree, Expedition changes and level-scaling uniques. This board ranks the current-league endgame builds by overall strength across bossing, mapping and league viability.
S-tier is what the ladder is actually farming right now; C-tier still clears content but asks more of your gear and your hands. Usage stats from poe.ninja tell you what's popular, not what's strongest — a Twister starter floods the ladder in week one and a niche crit stacker quietly out-damages it by week four. That gap is a judgment call, and judgment is exactly what a community vote captures, as voted by the community. If your favorite is criminally underrated here, that's what the vote buttons are for.
