Lightning Strike Warden League Start Build Guides are all the rage in PoE 3.25, and I'm throwing my LS Warden Build into the pile. I have been playing Lightning Strike for years and in 3.25 Lightning Strike Builds were buffed like crazy AND we received a new Warden Ascendancy. This Lightning Strike Warden League Starter Build looks to be one of the best 3.25 league start builds. Check below for all the resources!

    What are you going to league start? And if you're playing LS, are you getting on board with Tinctures or are you still not convinced? IMPORTANT: The latest PoB Update did something weird and now there's a bug that's over-inflating the damage being added by Tinctures. If you open the PoB later and see the damage go down, that's why. (I added a manual temporary fix with 61% reduced effect of Tincture on Tinctures - I will remove that when they fix the bug - Thanks, Keyen!)

    Your Lightning strike was already a banger last league, with all changes it's sure to feel amazing!
  • @chaddy911
    Subbed! As a new player, a crafting guide for some of the gear in the gear section would be so appreciated. I’ve played three leagues now and haven’t really got into crafting and I feel like it’s something that a lot of people like myself avoid. Great guide!
  • @MiniNinjaV3
    The video we have all been waiting for! I have been waiting for your version of this to release for DAYS! Thank you for putting in the work!
  • @Jack-ur2tl
    Locohol thank you so much. This is above and beyond. Absolutely stoked to start this. Even more stoked to not level with rain of arrows for the entire campaign.
  • @lello333
    Awesome cant wait to play 3,25 and follow your build! Thank you mate, vvery appreciated your work :) much love ❤❤❤
  • @tigerland277
    Glad I've watched, I want to start with Warden too, on Ice Crash Hollow Palm, and your explanation on ascendancy were on point for me!
  • @baluranha
    This was probably the most detailed guide I have ever seen for league starter, thank you for that.
  • @Neox2k3
    Great guide, very well done! thanks^^
  • @Awkshu
    Great guide. I will be playing this build!
  • For Labs, always remember, you can always Weapon Swap to a bow, with Blink Arrow or something instead of doing a Whirling Blades and getting stuck on stuff.

    what I heard about Oath of Summer vs Winter: "We are never assuming a 30% scorch on bosses and are only assuming a 15% which is reasonable. On white mobs we will do 30% scorches which greatly helps with clear. Oath of Winter is practically useless in this build as we have such a large cold hit that we will pretty constantly freeze mobs anyways, by default we get ~60-70% of the effect of Winter for free. Nothing will live 2 seconds and it isint worth giving up summer for "maybe sometimes winter does something useful." The only place where it will really shine is on bosses where youd realistically be able to get decent uptime on the boss being frozen which reduces its action speed by 50%. I personally dont find much value in this as you will have so much burst dps on a boss, the reduced action speed isint going to make or break you living vs you just killing the boss faster with summer."
  • @JahDr1

  • @DayWalkerlol
    Yes please…a crafting guide for this build will be helpful specially for people like me who just came in to the game a few leagues ago and still have not fully grasp the idea of how crafting works…thank you much and more power!
  • @baluditor
    Hats off for this level of details. Def helping new players like myself.
