Frenzy Charges are a great way to boost your damage, attack speed, and cast speed in Path of Exile 2. They are especially useful for builds that focus on dexterity. Here’s a simple guide to help you generate and use Frenzy Charges.

Frenzy Charges give you:

Faster attacks
Quicker spell casting
Increased damage for each charge

They are very helpful for fast-paced, high-damage builds.

How to Generate Frenzy Charges

Active Skill Gems
- Frenzy: This skill gives you a Frenzy Charge every time you hit an enemy. It’s easy to use and works well in most builds.
- Blood Rage: This buff grants a chance to gain a Frenzy Charge when you kill an enemy. It’s great for clearing groups of enemies.
Support Gems
- Ice Bite Support: Link this gem to your skill to gain Frenzy Charges when you kill frozen enemies. Perfect for cold-based builds.
- Charged Trap Support / Charged Mine Support: These gems give Frenzy Charges when your traps or mines trigger.
Ascendancy Classes
- Raider: The “Way of the Poacher” skill gives Frenzy Charges on hit or kill, making it very reliable.
- Guardian: The “Harmony of Purpose” skill lets you gain Frenzy Charges on hit. It’s great for support-focused builds.
Unique Items
- Terminus Est (Sword): Gain Frenzy Charges on critical hits. This is excellent for crit-based melee builds.
- The Blood Dance (Boots): Gain Frenzy Charges on kill, along with life regeneration and movement speed bonuses.
- Victario’s Acuity (Amulet): Gain Frenzy Charges on kill and get additional offensive bonuses.
Passive Skills and Masteries
- Look for passive nodes that increase the number of Frenzy Charges you can have or boost their effects.
- Claw and Sword Masteries: Depending on your weapon, these masteries can give you Frenzy Charges on hit or kill.
Other Methods
- Poacher’s Mark (Curse): This curse gives you a higher chance to gain Frenzy Charges when you hit enemies.
- Quiver Affixes: For bow builds, some quivers let you gain Frenzy Charges on critical strikes.

Tips for Boss Fights

Generating Frenzy Charges during boss fights can be tricky because there aren’t always extra enemies to kill. Here’s how to manage it:

Use the Frenzy Skill: Hit the boss directly with the Frenzy skill to generate charges.
Equip Charge-Generating Items: Use gear like Terminus Est or The Blood Dance to build charges.
Pick the Right Ascendancy: Abilities like “Way of the Poacher” from the Raider class ensure steady Frenzy Charge generation even in single-target fights.

Last Notes

Frenzy Charges are a powerful tool that can improve almost any build. It doesn’t matter whether you’re farming maps or taking down bosses, they give you raw speed and power.

Try out the methods above and see how they fit into your playstyle. Good luck, Exile!
