1. Engineering Eternity
Engineering Eternity is a PoE YouTuber that, unfortunately, isn’t particularly active anymore, but still manages to have a great collection of guides aimed at beginners that help introduce players to the world of Path of Exile. No, his build guides aren’t super relevant anymore for the game’s current meta, but his beginner’s guides are supremely well-edited and condense down a ton of information into what are less than 15-minute long videos. Starting off with Engineering Eternity’s Beginner’s Guide Series is a great way to get a brief but densely informative overview of how Path of Exile works. If you’re a new player or are just thinking about playing Path of Exile, make sure to give Engineering Eternity’s series a look.
2. Zizaran
Zizaran is a Path of Exile legend, and for good reason, too. The man has been around the community for ages, starting to make content for the game 8+ years ago, so he’s been through many of the game’s different versions, patches, and metas, staying a fan throughout it all. Suffice it to say he knows PoE well, but what kind of content does Zizaran make? Well, all kinds, but perhaps his most popular content is his many, many guides and explanations of the game’s mechanics. From build guides to the best League starters to explanations of game mechanics to even long sessions about how to homebrew your own character, Zizaran has an endless wealth of instructional PoE content to help you with whatever part of the game you need help with.
3. Tenkiei
Tenkiei is the first Path of Exile YouTuber on this list that isn’t best known for his guides, though he does make content like that too, but Tenkiei makes more general PoE content. Want to know about what’s going on with a big new buff or nerf in the latest patch? Want some cool tips and tricks? Have some slightly random question about a skill? This is the kind of content Tenkiei makes, and watching is a great way to stay up to date with PoE and to learn some awesome tips and tricks from time to time, not to mention his channel is a great source of inspiration for things to try out on your own time, too. If you’re looking for some PoE content but don’t want to watch a lengthy, comprehensive guide, check out Tenkiei.
4. TarkeCat
TarkeCat is a somewhat unique Path of Exile YouTuber in the sense that his major claim-to-fame is the Baeclast podcast. This is a PoE podcast where a group of friends, including Tarke, talk PoE. This can be a chat about the latest league changes, the general state of the game, the future of PoE, or anything else. However, the most unmissable episodes of the Baeclast podcast are when the gang gets to interview folks at GGG. The Baeclast crew has interviewed Chris Wilson, a founder of GGG, multiple times, securing lengthy interviews with him where he discussed the state of the game extremely candidly and at length. hearing the developers discuss the game is always interesting, and seeing that in the context of a podcast of players who get to ask their own questions is a delight.
5. Schwingy
For a lot of PoE YouTubers, they’re usually hardcore PoE fans that make long, in-depth content for people that are already PoE fans that have probably been playing for a decade, or longer. Even the content aimed at beginners, like guides, are often huge pieces of content that take a lot of time and brainpower to digest and understand. Schwingy isn’t a huge PoE YouTuber, but he makes accessible, beginner-friendly content that’s well-edited, not overly long, and is aimed at anyone interested in Path of Exile. He’s a player not afraid to push endgame, high-level content himself, but he’s not a YouTuber that makes content largely surrounding that or for players like that, which is lovely to see.
