The Huntress passive tree in Path of Exile 2 offers several paths for optimizing damage and survivability. With EZNPC numerous ascendancy choices and passive nodes to choose from, it’s important to plan your build carefully. This article will focus on the best passive tree options and ascendancy choices for a Huntress build.

Ascendancy: Choosing the Right Path

As of now, the Huntress has access to a few strong ascendancy options:

The Tracker: Focused on ranged combat, this ascendancy boosts your bow damage and grants additional projectile scaling, making it perfect for a pure bow-focused build. It also has a passive node that increases your evasion and attack speed.

The Trapper: Ideal for players who want to focus on trap damage. This ascendancy tree allows you to deal high damage through traps, with added bonuses to trap throwing speed, trap damage, and area of effect. The Trapper ascendancy is the best choice for those who prefer controlling the battlefield with explosives.

The Beastmaster: If you’re looking to run a summoner Huntress, this ascendancy provides bonuses to pet damage and summon speed, allowing your creatures to deal high damage while you focus on ranged attacks.

Passive Tree Choices

The Huntress passive tree offers a mix of offensive and defensive options. Depending on your chosen playstyle, you’ll want to prioritize different nodes:

Projectile Damage: Increase your damage with bows and projectiles.

Trap Damage: If you’re playing a trap-focused Huntress, invest heavily in the Trap Damage section for more AoE and higher DPS.

Evasion and Movement Speed: To ensure survivability, invest in evasion and mobility. Look for nodes that improve your dodge chance and movement speed.

By combining these passive and ascendancy choices, you’ll have a Huntress that can deal devastating damage while avoiding incoming hits with ease.
