Something i wanted to mention but forgot about it: if you plan to maximize the efficiency of the weapon swap tech, +# to level of all melee skills modifier DOES NOT work with Molten Blast - it's a projectile skill, keep it in mind.
Other than that, Merry Christmas!
I kept wondering why the hell my +4 level doesnt work on molten, this clears it up thanks
Hey man, can u help me? I did all passives as you said, but the damage shows to be like 9k on my AOE sticks. And your shows 50k. Like... i am doing something wrong. I am few levels lower, but it should not make that much of a difference?
Though, to be fair, my mace strike is level 20 cuz i have ok maces but no + to melee on them. Is that the problem?
@@sheoofisles1573
yeah man, + melee is huge damage.
I've been trying to understand weapon swapping for a few days and nothing I was reading was making any sense. This video helped immensely. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for making this video. It actually made weapon swapping make sense finally.
It will make a lot more sense in practice once all the weapons are in the game. You can have maces on one swap and axes on another. Opens up a huge arena even for single attribute builds.
I'm so glad that I've bumped into your channel, rolled warrior and I'm having a lot of fun, not only that, I've learned some valuable things as well.
Also breath of a fresh air not to hear a streamer complaining about the game all the time during the video (which cannot be said for the poe1 streamers) who look into poe2 as expansion to poe1 while it is an almost completely different game. I know that you've played poe1, but I don't hear hardstuck poe1 influence from you and that is a great thing.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Спасибо за поздравления! и тебя с Рождеством! Благодаря тебе не забросил это игру, продолжаю в нее играть и получать удовольствие) ты крутой! буду следить за тобой постоянно) Спасибо тебе за твою проделанную работу, очень много полезного и обучающегося материала благодаря которому я могу действительно что то понимать и разобраться наконец-то:) Жму тебе руку, не болей и удачи тебе во всем! С Рождеством! :))
PS. Очень рад был узнать что играл или играешь в лигу легенд, сам играю с 1 сезонна хоть уже и не так активно:) Надеюсь на стриме еще увижу лигу легенд) обнял
Merry Christmas! Also a good tip for folks to consider is to specify particular skills being used in chosen weapon sets - so your AOE skills use the first equipped weapon set and Perfect Strike, etc., is only used on the second weapon set. You can define which skill uses which weapon set by clicking on the skill gem in the Skills menu and selecting "Skill Options" and then ticking weapon set I or II to define which weapon set the skill is used with. Just a small tip to help save you needing to swap out weapons before bosses and elites, etc. It also gives you the option to use sheild based skills for the second weapon set if you want to run a sheild instead of two weapon sets with two single handed weapons or to include a weapon set with splash damage in the first weapon set (i.e. Cultilist Greathammer) versus single target damage maces (Leaden or Oak). Hope that also helps the community!
Its not about being a poe veteran its about NOT being stuck in POE1 way of thinking. I figured out this on day 2 when i played granades Xbow tree and now hammers or quaterstaff dropping bells on Titan....what I see is that a lot of creators are stuck in POE1 mindset and when i tried to explain to my guild memebrw they said- too many buttons....Warrior is definetly designed around weapon swap. You are one of the few creative build makers that is fully embrasing POE2 mechanics. Well done showing this to people. I use this system for massive ignites or AOE clear and all it costs is swapping from block to max dps. I forsee a future where we will have a tree for mace and tree for axes where we can have 1 massive ignite and 1 massive bleed on target
@Vulgaels Same! Whats worse is Jonathan CLEARLY explained this shit in the gameplay reveal! And it still went right over a lot of vets heads!!! It was one of the most stand out new features in those reveals to me!! 🤷♂️
@@Vulgaels i have been waiting for this mechanic since they revealed it in ExileCon 2023 lol.
I am surprised at how inconpetent so many PoE content creators have been at using it. Now some of them use it but they had to play for a whole week 12 hours a Day to realize its power.
Not really, you need 1 button as titan...
i can clear T15, T16 maps with only 1 press of Leap to full clear the entire screen...
Dont need any weapon swap at all.
Thanks for explanation. This is very strong but I couldn't fully understand it until you showed how it works.
Just for heads up, you do not need to unequip your first weapon set into your inventory. Simply, when you swap your weapon sets, your previous weapon set weapons will be available in a small image near your now empty weapon slots. Just click the small weapon images to drag them out from wep set 1 to equip them in wep set 2.
what if on console?
actually u dont need to swap it automatically swap if u using ur mace strike 1 and 2
@@Byoasis1 you dont get a 2nd mace strike without a second set of weapons. I am talking about the case where you want to swap your current set 1 to set 2 when you only have a single set of weapons
@@kelshake sorry mb
Watched your vid yesterday and did this with nice results. Realized i can take off all my block chance and life regen when I switch off my shield/1h and spec all that into damage for the 2h which feels great since i only use the 2h for big attacks and always switch back to 1h immediately after using it.
Dude - I was struggling hard until I found your guide(s). I’m a total noob but now I’m absolutely destroying mid game, and excited for end game. Thank you so much. Happy Christmas, looking forward to more vids
Wow, this video completely transformed the way I play! Thank you so much for sharing such valuable insights. Your content always inspires and helps me improve-please keep up the amazing work!
You are amazing best Titan out here with the content and awesome explanation. Keep doing what you’re doing! Can’t wait for the warbringer warrior build!
Wow. Thats what of the things I totally missed with 120 hours into poe2 (and 0 hours in po1). Tyvm!
Thanks for clearing up the confusion around this topic.
Take care.
You're the Savior of warriors, but your gear still insane, my lvl 30 perfect strike got only 14,5k tooltip :D
I do this with hammer and crossbows. It works great having two builds.
Some tips for those early mapping in my experience (lvl 65-85)
If you damage is not great due to bad weapons, drop some AoE nodes and get attack damage nodes to help your damage until you can afford better weapons.
I also recommend grabbing all the defensive nodes before you get into AoE as well or you may die more than you like.
Target breach, its great exp and fun as hell.
Happy pack popping.
Merry Christmas Carn! Have a good time with your family.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the great videos
The Metaphor is those red and green points you put out are the leaves in a tree with the branches being the main points to branch out from.
One issue is the weapon swapping part all I can say is its so easy to make a decent weapon
Merry Christmas! Also, cheers for another great tip
great vid, get well soon, happy X-MAX
Thanks very much, great video and awesome explanation of systems, got my sub !
I've been trying something similar on witchhunter with the "20 skill points converted to weapon set skill points" ascendancy node. It feels hard to make use of 44 weapon set skill points but hey, my tree sure looks colorful!
im gonna ask the real questions... how do you have SEVEN THOUSAND Life

Saw a clip of a gemling with 9k. Though that was with +25% to life and attributes from the armour.

Gemlings are also doing wacky full stat talent builds @@Flakzor123
I have played with weapon swapping with other archetypes too, and I think it will be interesting, and I think for warrior it will be interesting later too. Things like a summoner for example, you can swap between a spell damage and a minion build, and it works pretty seamlessly, your minions just unsummon when you swap, and then resummon when you swap back.
I played reasonably extensively with it early on warrior too, swapping between a 1 hand weapon set, and a 2h set. I think it works a bit easier when you actually have 2 different weapon types, otherwise you are running into the issue where you need duplicate weapons or you need to do annoying manual swapping.
But for example, I would use break armor and expose weakness or sunder for payoff. On sunder you can put on things like Bloodlust, and then on break armour you can put things like Lacerate, or use a weapon set to spec into bleed on hit. You can put rage on hit or spec into rage. You can put daze on hit. So then you can focus on something like building extra rage with Break Armour, causing bleeding, causing daze. Then you switch to 2h when you use Infernal Cry, which can use enraged warcry, and then your payoff can use things like rageforged to take advantage of the remaining rage, bloodlust to take advantage of bleed, exploit weakness to take advantage of fully broken armour, and the any heavy stun bonuses.
So you can do something like 1h and shield while applying, focusing, both on the passive tree and on the weapon, on speed and applying the bonuses, also benefiting from block while you do it. Now you have a dazed enemy, with broken armour, bleeding, with rage, and you can use another skill to take them to heavy stun, something that's reasonably high instant damage and good stun buildup, but that doesn't consume the statuses. Then when you get to heavy stun, swap to 2h if you're not already there, and infernal cry. I just set infernal cry to only use my 2h weapon set, and then wind up a big attack. When you can get in something like a Supercharged Slam with all of these things up, you have 35% "more" with rageforged, 30% "more" with enraged warcry, 50% "more" with exploit weakness, 30% "more" with bloodlust, not to mention whatever leftover rage still gives you another "more" multiplier, if you have skullcrusher, you get another 20% "more".
I like this because it gives me 3 kind of "phases", there's the prep phase with the 1h and break armour, the period in the middle, where I'm dealing damage and building stun, and then the big payoff when the heavy stun hits. The period in the middle is also generally what i use for clearing, I don't bother with the prep or the payoff. But when I'm against a difficult rare, or a boss, then it's worth it, and there's no manual swapping to be done, I just set it up so when I use break armour, I'm using a 1h. I might also have something like earthshatter, set up to break armour and bleed if I have to do setup from a distance or keep it from falling off.
Merry Christmas enjoy your time off and your family. Thanks for the great early access titan warrior info!
I was today years old when I realized I've practically become a casual gamer. The weapon swap is self explanatory but the gear investment and dual tree planning are making me want to play Diablo again 😂
btw you can change your weapon set skill points from the normal passive menu, you just have to go from the outermost to the innermost as if you were refunding them, and it does not cost any gold!
My attack power is low, so monsters don't explode with a single normal attack. What is the most efficient passive node to increase damage output?
merci pour ce jolie cadeau de noël ! bonne fête a toi !
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Now I understood! THANKS!
Ive notice green/red passives, checked them quickly bc there was no info on it and noticed they were for Molten/Perfect Strike together with weapons for +6 melee skills on each weapon for Perfect Strike, gotta check that at later on for sure, thx for the great series You are presenting us👍
Played ESO for years, weapon swap was a huge part of many builds.
OMG!Ty alot!
I use this for totem, set1 for usual gear I use for mapping, set2 is for totem with both weapon have at least +5 all melee skill, slot an armor breaker and fond of rage on it, you gain massive dmg boost from fighting boss
Thanks again man
Can you share what jewels you use in your tree? Specific the unique ones
Cheers bro, Merry Christmas
Important thing! You need a Cultist Hammer (The one with AOE splash dmg) for clearing like a god
Merry Christmas bro, another good video explaining the mechanic well. One thing, have you changed the skill points around a bit from your build planner on Maxroll?
Should be the same, but the maxroll tree is a 100% fine
If you're using those points on weapon swap specific stuff, aren't you lower the ceiling of a fully optimized single tree build?
No. You are raising the ceiling on both single target and mapping by using swap. You shouldnt need the single target outside of map and pinnacle bosses anyway
Right on time! Just finished watching your campaign/leveling guide. I was using Bleed HoTG/Stampede, looking to swap over to this and farm hard before the holiday balance updates. My character is LVL 78 and I picked up a cultist's greathammer, but I'm going to need to add so much strength to be able to use it. Hoping to find a solution for doing maps in the meantime.
Just use it as a single two handed weapon for now and don’t use the talent for two two handers
@bricegardner7815 this still slaps thank you so much. I was worried about dropping my shield, but the full screen explosion and cannibalism keeps the health bar nice and plump! Fixed my resistances and now it's full steam.
I've seen it asked a couple times, havent seen a response so apologies if its something youve already answered somewhere else; how did you get 7k hp? Any kind of advice would be appreciated, I have max life and some str on basically all my gear and im hovering at around 3.5k.
Great video bro❤
Very useful information.
I hope they make it to where if you don't have anything in weapon slot 2 it'll just use weapon slot 1 weapons without inventory management. Just make it an option in the menu or something.
I figured that shit out the moment I got my first weapon set points and started allocating them.... simplest shit to understand, it blew my mind when I started to realise so many people weren't utilising this shit. It was in the gameplay reveal Jonathan had a whole segment on it...
you're right, you're not good
I think stampede is a good replacement when they nerf cultist hammer. I dont have the hammer atm but im clearing like you do in the vid, I use area boost/damageboost/attackspeed on stampede
What causes those big blue circles on the passive tree? I’ve never seen that happen on mine
so why would you wanna split the tree on weapon set ups and not just have it on all the weapons?
What about ascendancy of weapon sets
Merry Christmas. May I know the Jewel information you put in the Passive Skill?
They should add a "duplicate set" option to just use the same weapons in set 1 as in set 2.
im glad you highlighted that you can specify with gems which weapon set they use. this system is so genius and its going to get insanely abused once its more understood by more people
for you to have the same skill icons on your skill bar, and when you hit a specific skill it will automatically weapon swap for you is an insane QOL. its amazing. i cant wait until i get higher lvl and can utilize this a lot more
i got some big plans for my warrior. in fact i just made my 4th warrior.
1st warrior was league start and i went warbringer. 2nd warrior was molten blast and got to t7 maps. 3rd warrior is going to be for a planned totem build. 4th warrior is remaking for my molten blast with themed name and specifically looking for min maxing.
you can be super tanky with warrior as well, i can't wait!
bro, where's the effect of your weapon (the fire one) coming from?
gostei vou copiar :D
Spot on Queen of Filth impersonation, my friend
Great video, I do have a crucial question though
Say you're swapping to set 2 mid-map for a boss. Since set 2 can't use the good gems from mace strike (stuck in set 1 only), what ability besides perfect strike do you use? Since PS is slow and cant use it constantly. Molten blast? Really not sure since you can't use several of the good supports in it (stuck in set 1 mace strike), plus it doesn't benefit from +melee skills. Would be great to know, merry christmas.
Nice build you got there! I switched today to your setup without 2nd weapon set yet. With your setup clearing is actually enjoyable and way faster. I'm lvl 92 so fortunately I had enough points to switch to your tree. Btw how much important is unique amulet and especially unique belt to this build? Belt is pretty expensive.
Belt is not, not that insane of a boost unless it's corrupted, amulet is cheap and strong but not mandatory
@@Carnarius_v2 I see. I probably skip belt for now and add amulet. Btw what best to annoint?
This AOE build is the only reason I can consistently do t15 maps. Just learned how armor (doesn't) wok. Insane. If they need this, I'm not gonna play warrior unless they buff him
I have a stampede build for aoe that still works with armor explosion. Clears t15 no problem. Melee is actually very busted.
@ltlsWhatltIs it's not
@ltlsWhatltIs no it's not.
the increased Elemental Damage with Attacks on weapon is global not only local?
Bro... thank you
Hi i wonder for boss damage do i need to have elemental weapon dmg ? Or just plus lvls are enough bc right now im struggling with xesht third lvl and i have like almost the set with i think a little lower dps and like 3 lower lvl on one of the weapons (sum is like 5+6)and one of my boss set up weapons doesn't have elemental damage
Loving your videos and the written guide, thank you. I did run into two problems when trying this...
1. When trying to use the same 2-handed mace, it looks like it works until I try to hit an enemy with mace strike. The weapon disappears at that point and goes back to my previous weapon set which now doesn't have a weapon.
2. If I have a 2-hand in one and 2 1-hand (duel) in the second then you need to use different support gems.
Any suggestions?
Are you able to show a basic passive tree set up or something for once you finish campaign and first get to maps ? What should be targeted first? I just swapped to this tree as close as I could, (only level 68) and im trying my first map. And i can't kill anything. Takes about 4-5 hits to kill any mob and the AOE is soo small. Definitely feel i should have waited
Written guide is in description and the same information is in my other videos
Issue was my pdps cultist hammer. It was a bad one from campaign. I bought a new one and this build is online again. Thank you Carnarius😊
I don't understand for example why I can't put the 4 points for Weapon set 2, for example in the "crushing verdict" node (reduced attack speed, inc stun, inc attack damage) and another question please,
Green color is SET 2? Red color is SET 1?
Do you think that this build would work with a Warbringer character ?
Hi cheers for this video I always ignored thoses maces...But my main problem now is how to make stay support gems on second dual mace strike? I cand duplicate them on second slots so now Im thinking about this problem and I guess ggg will solve this
No shield? How do you survive?
Trying to figure out how to change the weapon swap skills with the xbox. No way to interact in the upper corner to change which points do what.
At least not where i can see.
Example @3:49 you clicked on Slot 1 to allocate those points. With xbox and controller i cant see what to push to get up there.
There should be a UI hint. I've done it before in controller just forgot the button but you actually need to do a long press then it will show a UI for u to choose if its a regular passive or a specific weapon passive
If you havent found out yet, presshold your button and choose with left stick set 1 or 2.
question please??!! where did you get the weapon skin for your greathammers pls?
happy Christmas.
hey very good build , can you put the gems on maxroll??
Can you answer what jewels you have on your passive tree? Which mods to get for the against darkness?
How does he have that much health regeneration? Where did he get it?
genuine question what does more damage perfect strike or hammer of the gods? and is there any specific reason you're using it apart from dmg?
hey bro, what do you think about rarity drop build?
Is it feasible to do it with this build?
Would this work with totems then? Like if I use a diff weapon just to summon totems. Because totems use their own weapon so it shouldn’t even matter what weapon it is.
Did exactly the same tree, perfect strike changed like 30 damage idk why lol
did the same as well and my damage got even lower with perfect strike, even though it should be more with 2 good 2h weapons, not sure what I did wrong
what is your gear line and jewelry?
Solid argument how ever i have a 2.05 AD one handed mace is my second slot and a bunnch of skill speed nodes and martial tempo on my leapslam for max mobility
Where does that weapon transmog come from?
any idea how'd u get the MTX for that mace ? can't find in the shop
Merry Xmass, and get well :)
Can you please show all your jewels?, and thanks for the amazing video
Is it me or same notable can't be selected for both weapons?
you don't need the Advanced Cultist Greathammer in both hands for the area clean build?
No, 1 is enough
@@Carnarius_v2 show me the jewels... plz
I can have a warcry set and use my warcry and then use my other set for max dmg?
Do you need 2 sets of weapons to weapon swap?
What are those 2 large blue rings on your passive tree? I've seen it a few times but no idea what it is.
That's the radius of the socketed jewel. Stats inside the circle will be used/boosted in various ways,depending on what jewel is equipped.
Is there a way to run primal armament and elemental focus on mace strike on weapon set 1, then on weapon set 2 have those 2 supports on perfect strike?
I don't think so
what I still dont get and hope someone can explain is that if I was to allocate normally without choosing weapon sets the passives im getting are going to global which is overall for my character. Vs I was to allocate the same lets say attack speed to weapon set 1 wouldn't I be getting the same results since doing it both ways is granting my character the same passives? And even better now its allocating to global to both of my weapon sets are receiving the bonuses??? anyone??? it seems stupid
This is what I'm not understanding. For a build with two elements it makes sense. I want these cold nodes for this staff, and these lightning nodes for my other staff. I don't understand how having area on one set and melee damage on another is gaining any damage. If I have the points assigned globally, how is it any different?
@ exactly lol
Weapon Swap in PoE2 can allow you to turn a single skill point into 2 skill points if used correctly.
For example, if a Titan player using slams puts around 24 points into AoE in his skill tree, those are 24 points that are not helping at all his single target damage with perfect strike (for example).
But with weapon swap trees, he can put 24 points into AoE for his clear (weapon 1) and then use those 24 points into single target damage in his perfect strike set up (weapon 2).
In this scenario is like having 48 points for the price of 24.
@@lavq7000oof, now i realize how crazy it is, thank you
@@jonwilliams3889you dont understand why you would want area talents for mapping but not bosses, or why you would want single target damage for bosses but not mapping?
try taking off 1 weapon for perfect strike and dps tooltip goes waaay up.. i wonder why this is? check it out.. also you can equip a shield and block while you are waiting for the right time to perfect strike. seems like a win win.
after some testing and math on that stats page it seems like the tooltip is just wrong
@@chaoticfateqew it is wrong, it doesn't take into consideration the dual wielding bonus

@@Carnarius_v2 ok but this is for maping. I gues boss just die fast for you so you don't have that problem. I was hope that there is some mod that let me leech fige damage as hp.
Good vid
So does this mean i can make a mace bleed build on weapon 1 and ignite on weapon 2?
In theory yes
would love to know your jewels brother...this build is fantastic...trying to make it work but my damage is very low on bosses but fantastic mapping even t18's
I’m kind of confused, when ever I take off my shield and put in a second 2h which also has +4 to melee skills, somehow my tooltip dps for my abilities and perfect strike is going down when I have both of the 2h equipped, and the tooltip goes back up when I put the shield and one 2h back on, can anyone help me understand what I’m doing wrong? Thank you
Hey I have the same issue, I wish I knew what is going on, trying to figure it out myself, if I find the reason why I will update my comment
I want to do this but worried it'll get nerfed
