builds that ar not GPU heavy

Hey,

I have recently gotten the game and started a Ranger Character. I want to create a Lightning Shot Deadeye. Lets see how it works.

Youtube has some end game videos of builds, and they all seem so intense for GPU. The guys are dropping hammers with 30 different particle effects, with a lot of visual clutter.

Are there any choices in gameplay where you have effective build, but also don't need to fry eggs on your GPU?

Cheers.

I'd recommend any build that can "consume" corpses, the reason is that you end up not needing to waste processing power drawing dead bodies on the floor

Herald of blood is a skill that works like that but there are a few others too, from there you need to test by yourself and see what works best for what you want

But yeah right now poe 2 can be really demanding on the gpu in certain scenarios, more than it should have been tbh, i hope they optimize that aspect of the game in the near future instead of relying only on fsr/dlss
