Set yourself a goal

What do you want your build to be capable of doing in the early stages of the league? Consider how much Poe Currency, if any, you expect to have to invest in the build to meet these goals. Also think about how much you plan to play, and how quickly you want to get to mid-tier yellow maps. This will affect how much it will cost you to get the build going. It's important, to be honest with yourself about how much currency you're able to earn in the first few days of the league. If you know you can only make one or two Divines, pick a build that doesn't require more. 

Don't pick a build that will feel like a chore

It's also important to consider how much fun and enjoyment you want to get out of your league starter. Don't pick a build that will feel like a chore, as this can turn you off the game entirely. Look for a build that suits your playstyle and makes the most fun part of the league enjoyable. Lastly, think about if you plan to play just one character the entire league, or if you'll be making another character once your league start build is complete.

Few myths and misconceptions to be aware of

When looking for a build, there are a few myths and misconceptions to be aware of. For example, it is not true that you have to rush through the campaign and know the game for days to make good Poe currency. With the introduction of the Atlas Tree and key passives such as Stream of Consciousness, you can comfortably farm any map mechanic you want in yellow-tier maps. You can also make money on lower-tier and white maps, through things like Essences, Expedition currency, and Syndicate items. Additionally, it is not true that if a build cannot clear the Atlas on a budget, it is not league-starter viable. You can make infinite currency in yellow maps and there are many builds that require an investment that can still be league-starter viable. 

Consider the endgame version of the build

Does the guide explain what gear is required to put the build together, and does the build cost an arm and a leg? This is important because you don't want to invest a lot of currency into a build that won't be useful later on. Also, make sure the guide includes a Path of Building (PoB) link and that the video has timestamps so you can easily refer back to specific parts.

Level the build

Does the guide explain when to use certain skills, when to gem swap and other important details? This is important because you don't want to get stuck in the middle of your leveling journey.

level 1 to the endgame

This is the most important part of a build guide because it will tell you how to transition from the early stages of the game to the late game. If the guide doesn't include this information, it's a sign that the build hasn't been fully tested.

Path of Exile forum

A great place to look for build guides is the official Path of Exile forum. There, you can find a variety of builds from experienced players and get an idea of what's popular in the current league.

Poe.Ninja

POE.NINJA, you can find a snapshot of the builds that players are using in the current league and also find builds from streamers and content creators. However, be careful when using this resource. Some builds are created simply to reach level 100, so they may not be the most efficient or cost-effective.

Path of Exile Build Reddit

You can look at the Path of Exile Build Reddit page. This page is filled with experienced players who can help you out if you have a question about builds or need help finding one. They also provide a starter index when each new league starts, so you can easily find the builds that are popular in that league.

With this guide, you should now have a better understanding of what to consider when picking a League Starter to build. Setting your goals, understanding the economy, and making sure you have fun are all important factors in picking the perfect build for you and your goals. With this knowledge, you can pick the perfect League Starter build and have a successful and enjoyable league.
