Here’s a plain‑text build guide for Path of Exile 2 Currency a powerful Smith of Kitava (Warrior) setup in Path of Exile 2 — ideal for mapping, pinnacles, and boss bursting.

Smith of Kitava Build Guide (Warrior)
Strongly recommended for endgame progression, this build combines high survivability, massive single-target damage, and efficient area-of-effect (AoE) clearing.

Based on community guides and creator builds updated in mid‑2025, such as Korbyn’s "Invincible" version, this build is capable of one‑shotting map bosses and handling Pinnacle content with ease 

Core Strengths
Extremely tanky — high health, overcapped resistances.

One‑shots map bosses with Perfect Strike burst.

Smooth, repeatable mapping, and fast Pinnacle clears.

Scales well into late‑game tiers (T4 Pinnacles, T15+ mapping).

Key Skill Gems & Mechanics
Leap Slam → Boneshatter
Use Leap Slam to prime enemies for stun, then detonate them with Boneshatter for clear speed.

Ideal for racking up clear stacks and prepping tougher rare monsters 

Perfect Strike (Boss Burst)
Your boss-killing button: Perfect Strike.

Must be heavy-stunned and have armor broken beforehand.

Use Ancestral Warrior Totem with Armour Breaker and Solar Orb (Fire Exposure) for maximum damage 

Support Tools
Infernal Cry before major attacks for huge damage boosts.

Hammer of the Gods for finishing off bosses or dense rares.

Herald of Ash and Overwhelming Presence for sustain, speed, and stun utility.

Defensive Core
Overcapped Fire/Cold/Lightning Resistance, strong Chaos resist (~75%), and around 3.5K HP.

High life regeneration per second via gear (e.g. Leather Bindings, Font of Blood) and passive node choices.

Gear like Infernoclasp belt (adds fire resist and strength) and high-block shields (e.g. The Surrender) round out defenses 

Recommended Gear & Stats
Body Armor: Ornate Plate with base socket count (supports Smith of Kitava nodes).

Helmet: The Deepest Tower for damage scaling; swap to Thrillsteel when speed mapping.

Amulet: +3 to melee gems and life, anointed with either Stars Aligned (bossing) or Finishing Blows.

Other slots: Prioritize high life, resist, strength; support charms that boost fire resist and flat damage 
Passive Skill Tree Essentials
Allocate nodes to support Smith of Kitava ascendancy bonuses, strength, life, and stun synergy.

Include Finality and Finishing Blows as key notable clusters.

Mobalytics

Mapping & Pinnacle Playstyle
Use Leap Slam into packs, detonate them with Boneshatter, apply Infernal Cry, then execute Perfect Strike on bosses.

Maintain stun and armor breaks via totem and Solar Orb to maximize burst potential.

Adjust equipment between speed mapping (more AoE/speed gear) and bossing (higher damage and survivability) 
Build Variant Tips
Consider a Lightning‑spear version (Magic Finder style) for LPST and mapping performance noted by POEGuy007 on Reddit for budget or solo play
