Guide:Blight quick guide

The following guide shows you how to complete a Blighted map encounter.

This guide uses the Scout Tower strategy, which is to place down towers that summon powerful flying minions to attack monsters, greatly reducing the amount of damage the player must do. There are various strategies and methods that can be used to successfully complete a Blight encounter and this is just one of them. This guide does not state that Scout Towers is the recommended strategy, however, it is the easiest method for beginners and learners to get started with Blighted maps.

Recommendations

The following is recommended:

• A ranger or spellcaster build or any build that can do high amounts of area damage (melee builds using Cyclone without Cast-on-Crit will find it extremely hard)
• At least 2 million damage per second (rolling over your main attack ability should show 100K+, because Path of Exile cannot calculate DPS properly)
• A method to increase damage against rare and unique mini bosses (such as Assassin's Mark for critical-strike based builds)
• Capped elemental resistances (fire, cold and lightning resistance at 75%)
• At least 5,000 Effective hit points (Life pool)
• At least 20% block or evade chance, or Mana before Life defenses
