Path Of Exile 2 Bleed Ritualist Build: How To Make It Strong Enough To Cope With The Endgame?
Posted: Jun 06, 2025 Views: 51
Among all the new content brought by POE 2 Dawn of the Hunt, in addition to the new basic class Huntress, there are 5 new Ascendancy classes, and 2 of them belong to Huntress, namely Amazon and Ritualist.
Although they belong to the same Huntress, they are not only different in combat style, but also slightly higher in usage rate than Ritualist because Amazon is stronger. However, this does not mean that Ritualist is not worth utilizing. In fact, the right builds can make it invincible in POE 2 endgame.
Based on this, we will tell you how to complete most of the game content through Bleed Ritualist Build based on the introduction of this Ascendancy class.
Introduction To Ritualist
As shown in the game trailer and other related pictures, just from the appearance you will feel that Ritualist definitely has that kind of dark and terrible power. In fact, she uses the powers of animal sacrifices and plagues to show her control of life and energy.
In combat, Ritualist can cast blood magic spells to damage enemies and drain their health. Specific exclusive abilities include:
- As the Whispers Demand: Reduces 20% of its maximum health through sacrifice to gain a random monster modifier (only one can be obtained at a time).
- Mind Phylacteries: consumes 25% of maximum mana to trigger insufficiently charged charms.
- Corrupted Lifeforce: Gain the skill Blood Boil.
- As the Whispers Ask: Gain the skill Ritual Sacrifice.
- Intricate Sigils: +1 charm slot, +20% charm charges.
- Unfurled Finger: +1 ring slot.
- Mystic Attunement: Bonus +25% after equipping Rings and Amulets.
Overall, the strengths of this Ascendancy class are mainly in damage output and reliable survivability, but it is also more dependent on the role of gear. So if you choose to play Ritualist, it is best to buy POE 2 currency to increase the rarity of your equipment or get more modifiers.
Bleed Ritualist Build
Before entering Act 2 and unlocking Ascendancy class mechanism, you can only play Huntress in POE 2 in the most basic way. Under this premise, the main operation to cause damage to the enemy is to press Parry to get Frenzy charges, which is a thankless way.
So you can play Huntress with bleed type builds at the beginning, so that after unlocking Ritualist, you can combine the two to create a Bleed Ritualist Build, thereby improving the efficiency of clearing monsters and killing bosses.
It is worth mentioning that Huntress itself is relatively fragile in the early stage of the game, but bleed type builds can solve the enemy before you are hurt by extremely fast attack speed, circumventing this defect from another angle.
In this way, you can easily complete the main content of Act 1 and Act 2 through bleed builds, and utilize the new build brought by Ritualist to smoothly enter the endgame and Cruel mode, and finally complete the game.
Bleed Ritualist Build In Endgame
As you know, almost all character builds available in ARPG are centered on active skills, and are crafted with passive skills, gear and other items that can enhance active skills and class characteristics.
For Path of Exile 2 Bleed Ritualist Build, first you need to gradually unlock more skill gems and support gems that can be matched with them through adventures in the first three acts, and as the build is improved and upgraded, you can equip them more selectively to make the build more concise and refined.
After you unlock Ritualist, you need to unlock those Ascendancy nodes in Ascendancy system that can play the class skills or abilities to further enhance Bleed Ritualist Build.
Of course, the choice of passive skills is also important. For this build, those passives that can increase your agility, evasion rating and attack speed are all good. Finally, when you get to the endgame, your Bleed Ritualist Build should include the following:
Skill Gems
- Spearfield
- Rapid Assault
- Herald of Blood
- Bloodhound’s Mark
- Blood Boil
Support Gems
- Comorbidity
- Rearm
- Close Combat
- Concentrated Effect
- Heavy Swing

Utilize Tips For This Build
The way you start to damage enemies with this build in early game is casting Rake, then combined it with Herald of Blood is triggered to make some enemies explode after killing them, damaging other enemies in a wider range.
After unlocking Rapid Assault skill, you can use it as your main damage skill, and use it with Spearfield and Thunderous Leap to attack higher-level enemies and bosses. As long as the build elements are properly coordinated, you will definitely win!
That’s all the information about Bleed Ritualist Build. Although we directly tell you what the final form of this build is, you will still encounter difficulties in the process of crafting it, and you must overcome them on your own!
Finally, I need to remind you that if you are a fan of the entire Path of Exile series, then remember to watch POE 3.26 league’s live broadcast of the press conference (or the live playback)! More new content is waiting for you to learn!
