Alright y’all, let me hit you with the wildest budget challenge I’ve done in PoE 2 so far — the One Divine Orb Build Challenge. And I’m not talking about just some basic mapping. I took this build all the way through Delirious maps, T15s, Simulacrum trials, and even a T4 King in the Mist... and survived.
Rules were simple: one divine orb, level 79 character, no extra passive points, and all gear including jewels had to be bought within that budget. No tricks, no cheating. Just one divine. And let me tell you — this build slapped. We hit 8200 energy shield, solid chaos res, capped elemental res, and managed to run five-mod delirious maps without breaking a sweat.
I started by bargain hunting like a madman, using trade links and some serious patience. Got spell damage wands, solid chaos gear, and even slammed a jewel that turned into a mini jackpot. That one divine orb ended up stretching way farther than I expected. If you’re just starting out in the league or need to get Divine Orbs fast in PoE 2 to try something similar, definitely look into that — makes the challenge way more accessible if you don’t want to grind maps endlessly first.
Now here’s the crazy part — this thing DOMINATED. I cleared T15s like butter, took down Sirus, handled rituals and breaches, and then — just for the memes — I took it to a T4 King in the Mist. Yeah, the fight took a hot minute, but we didn’t die. Not once. On a one divine budget build. I’m not gonna lie, I was not expecting that outcome. I figured I’d get clapped halfway through… but nope. We stood our ground, out-tanked everything, and wore that boss down like a champ.
So yeah — if you’re looking for a fun, tanky, super budget-friendly build that can actually go toe-to-toe with endgame content, this might be it. I’ll be dropping the full build guide and PoB soon. And if you want to try your own version, just know it’s totally viable — you don’t need mirror-tier gear to have fun in PoE 2.
Anyway, just wanted to share the experience. Let me know if anyone else has tried something similar. And if you haven’t, give it a shot. One divine vs the world, baby. Let's go!
