In PoE, duo farming involves sharing resources and supporting each other. This approach offers individualized item allocation and improved efficiency.

↖ Role Division

• One player focuses on support, providing buffs and protection.
• The other player acts as the carry, dealing damage and leading the charge.

 

↖ Building the Support

• Begin with Guardian SRS; respec into a support build later on.
• Get aura nodes first, then suppression nodes, then energy shield.
• Important items include Shavronne's Wrappings, Prism Guardian, The Vertex
• Purchase anoint 'Champion of the Cause' for enhanced aura effects

 

↖ Carry Build Considerations

• Concentrate on damage output plus survivability.
• Equip magic find gear such as Ventor's Gamble and Rarity helmet mixtures.
• Use a Caustic Arrow Mana-forged Pathfinder or similar build if you want efficiency

 

↖ Atlas Optimization

• Use 'Wandering Path' for map modifiers boost.
• Consider increasing Abyss encounters' nodes plus those that increase monster pack sizes as well.
• Add Beyond along with Delirium for more difficulty and rewards.

 

↖ Map Strategy

• Use gilded Abyss scarabs to ensure the spawning of Abyss spires.
• Roll maps for more projectiles, increasing rare monster spawns. 
• Increase the number of high juice counts from various colored wisps in league mechanic. 
• Try to sustain Cemetery maps by dropping tier 7 for maximum rewards.

 

↖ Execution Tips

• Thoroughly address the league mechanic emphasizing on high juice counts. 
• Target Abyss spires when clearing a map with special attention to rare monsters.
• Wisely use Alters that improve loot drops.
• Keep communication and coordination between the duo.
