Patch 0.3 has dropped in Path of Exile 2 and it’s shaken things up in some big ways. One build that’s really stood out for me is the Lightning Warp Blood Mage Witch. It’s crazy fast, surprisingly tanky, and the gameplay loop feels incredible. You’re basically zipping all over the place, flashing across the map while Ball Lightning tears through mobs. Even the new Azmeri pantheon bosses go down quick, and the so-called Uber Arbiter? Doesn’t even get a chance to breathe. Honestly, once you try it, you’ll see why it’s one of the best ways to farm and push content right now – especially once you grab a few key PoE 2 Items.
  At the core, the trick is keeping Lightning Warp up non-stop. The Blood Mage ascendancy makes that possible, letting you use life as a fuel for casting while recovering it at insane rates. A unique like Atalui's Bloodletting flips the life cost into sustain, so the more you warp, the more you heal. It’s a simple loop: drop a Sigil of Power for the extra juice, then chain warps across the screen. Every crit from your warp triggers your Cast on Critical setup, which flings Ball Lightning everywhere. You’re not dancing around incoming damage – you’re soaking it up. Mind over Matter and Eldritch Battery give you a huge buffer, and Zealot’s Oath keeps your regen flowing steady.
  Skill setup is pretty straightforward but fine-tuned for speed. A six-link Lightning Warp in your focus or body armour with Magnified Area II, Rapid Casting II, and Projectile Acceleration II makes your teleports fast and deadly. Cast on Critical linked to Ball Lightning, Lifetap, Multishot II, and Boundless Energy II turns every crit into a storm of projectiles. Sigil of Power supported by Prolonged Duration II makes mapping smoother, while Mana Tempest with Lifetap and Efficiency II shreds bosses. It’s smooth and fun – you’ll be chaining teleports without thinking about it.
  On the passive tree, aim for spell damage, crit chance, life, and energy shield nodes. Those keystones – Mind over Matter, Eldritch Battery, Zealot’s Oath – lock in the build’s defenses. Ascendancy points go into Grasping Wounds for crit scaling and Sanguimancy for that ridiculous sustain. Gear-wise, Rathpith Globe focus is a big damage boost and Atalui’s Bloodletting is what makes the whole regen engine work. For the rest, whatever rares give you life, ES, capped resists, and cast speed will do until you can snag the perfect pieces. This setup blends speed, damage, and survivability in a way that feels fantastic to play in patch 0.3, especially when you start stacking the right PoE 2 Items for sale.
