NO.1 [Poe 3.2 Necromancer Build] Cheap Using zombies as meat shields Traditional Beginner friendly Necromancer Build
The build is ideal for people looking for a traditional summoner that is cheap, good at the clearing, beginner friendly, easy to level and a high league starter. It offers a smooth experience throughout the game until ~t15 maps, guardians are doable but require proper mechanics and gear on your part, the build is perfect for farming currency early and swapping to a high budget summoner later in the league if you want to Farm bosses.
The build focuses on using zombies as meat shields and summons raging spirits to compliment the zombies to clear maps fast and efficiently. I try to avoid using expensive items and potential items/abilities that will most likely be nerfed(err The Baron?) so that the build will remain intact and be consistently updated for each patch.
Pros:
+ Minions get 20% extra movement speed
+ 30% increased the minion duration
+ 12 increased minion attack and cast speed if you/they have killed recently
+ 30% minion life
+ 2 extra zombies
+ Zombies' Slam has 100% increased AoE + Cooldown recovery speed
+ 30% increased minion damage if you've used a minion skill recently
+ 50% increased convocation cooldown recovery speed
Cons:
- we lose 15% attack and cast speed with flesh offering(now 50% effect)
- 15% chaos resistance
- 30% skill effect duration
- 10% minion damage
- 4% cast speed

NO.2 [PoE 3.2 Necromancer Build] Cheap, Clears Maps Quickly And Easy To Play Necromancer Build By Trini party
Do You Like To Laugh At Enemies? Do You Like To Laugh At Them Because They Are Going So Slow That You Have The Time To Laugh At Them? Do You Like To Make Enemies So Slow That You Can Run Beside Them And Whisper Mean Things To Them As They Run Towards Your Old Position At An Embarrassing Slow Speed? Then This Is The Build For You! If You Don't Like To Make, Enemies Feel Poorly Before You Kill Them Then You Should Try This Build So You Learn To Like To Make Enemies Feel Poorly Before You Kill them.
This Guide Is Written With A Focus On Those New To Path Of Exile. For Those That Aren'T New, Thanks For Your Patience With All The Extra Bits. I'Ve Tried To Make This Layout Easy To Skip To The Important Bits If You Don't Need The Filler.
This build is easy to play. We run into the middle of a group of enemies and cast one skill (SRS) until everything is dead (or we have to move ;-)). Everything else will be automatically thrown with our gem setup. We'll have an aura to boost our cold damage and another skill that increases our defense. The build has a high life as I could squeeze out of the tree and as much life regen as was possible. The items I'll encourage you to have are top in armor so we'll have as much physical damage reduction as possible with the number of uniques we'll be using. In other words, we're aiming to have our character as "tanky" as possible while our minions are all damage and no defense. Check the Gem and Gear sections for more
Pros:
+ cheap (5 Poe Chaos Orb)
+ Perfect for new players. Easy to level, easy to buy, easy to afford, easy to survive, easy to kill, easy end game.
+ You only cast one skill. Everything else (except for flasks) is automatic.
+ It clears maps quickly.
+ Chills and slows every enemy and boss. Great for survivability.
+ Has excellent DPS (17k per SRS) against the Shaper with a five-link and 23k with a six-link.
+ Can take and give good damage.
+ Reflect Damage doesn't affect you at all.
+ You can run any map mod in endgame except one. (You need mana regen.)
Cons:
- The only Con is that it's a minion build (meaning you don't choose who you attack).

NO.3 [PoE 3.2 Necromancer Build] boss kills, map clear, utilizing the Zealot's Oath keystone to maintain constant ES regen Build
This build is focused on general mapping, maintaining a balance between survivability, boss kills, and overall map clear, utilizing the Zealot's Oath keystone to support constant ES regen. It aims to run all map mods without any problems and with playing it for most of the league and reaching level 100, I have had zero issues with any particular mod, including degen based ground mods and no regen. This build is very cheap to start out with, and I'll provide both a budget league starter option and a more expensive endgame setup, with links to Path of Building profiles.
Pros:
+ Provides a lot of damage to allies through auras
+ Uses curses to aid survivability
+ Very mobile
+ Constant ES regen
+ Starting build is very budget friendly
+ Aurabots are easy to scale as we don't need to focus on damage nodes
+ Coruscating, doesn't stop your ES recharge like it usually would
+ Does not require a 5 or 6l
+ Scales up to level 27 Anger, Wrath, and Hatred with full investment
Cons :
- Victario's influence builds are flask reliant, and not having Flasks up can get you killed
- Specific flexibility options are not possible with Zealots Oath
- No life regen, so a life flask is needed to switch auras
- Max Aura levels are expensive and not league starter friendly
- Victario's influence is NOT an HC viable build
- Cannot Solo easily

NO.4 [PoE 3.2 Occultist Build] Cheap Unique as heck Excels at capturing beasts Build
Warning, your general practitioner might recommend not doing this build if you are addicted to clear speed or end game boss.
This Build was a hybrid of the existing whispering ice builds
1) whispering ice berserker, rest in peace
2) tri course whispering ice and
3) avatar of fire whispering ice
which could make use of the entire spectrum of Doedre's skin.
Pros:
+ Unique as heck (such special snowflake, much hipster, wow!)
+ Sorta cheap "starter" (currently at a balanced 50c gear investment over time, with atramentous being 20 of those and six socketing Doedre's skin + whispering ice are the majority of the rest)
+ Fun to watch the currently 8 (up to 9-10) dancing curses on monsters heads
+ The pop from occultist "Curseplosions" is satisfying.
+ Slow and freeze everything but bosses to a complete halt.
+ Many sustain layers due to: ES regen from slain enemies, warlords mark + Vaal pact, es recharge cannot be interrupted, ES gained on hit (with Watcher's eye)
+ LVLing process was a new experience (being ES focused from the start and whispering ice from level 33)
+ Great for party play of any size*
+ Does not benefit from 5-6 links.
+ And the very best excels at capturing beasts :D
Cons:
- Bosses have 60-80% less curse effectiveness (Can their areas also have 60-80% less aura effectiveness as well then GGG? #butthurt #salty)
- Bosses without adds require writhing jar to proc Malediction.
- 2 Button action build (Doedre's effigy + ice storm)
- Middle of the road DPS can go high depending on buff uptime. Detailed explanation in spoiler tags.

NO.5 [PoE 3.2 Occultist Build] Sanzai's Low Life RF/SR Dual(Tri)-Curse Occultist
The third curse is coming from Witchfire Brew, as Author not sure how this interacts when you have two blasphemy curses up I went with the +1 curse node. This Build might be able to spend the SP there elsewhere.
This Build Author has been a big fan of Witch, mainly Occultist, ever since This Build Author has started playing but never really got around to playing one as the ascendancy was quite underwhelming. Good thing 3.2 came around and gave us some sweet buffs.
This will be a short post for now, and it'll undergo some massive changes once my character is funded well enough actually to try the build out with the intended gear. The author will post the PoB down below and will add a video with currently equipped speed on top.

NO.6 [PoE 3.2 Elementalist Build] Shaper, Uber Atziri - 5 Flavors of Golems
The first post will contain pure golem builds. The second will contain golem/other summons hybrid builds, and the third post will contain other summoning Builds altogether. I will link to each build on the first post, though.
Life and mind over matter is my suggestion for sure. We can probably drop 1-2 jewels as well in favor of more life due to all the free damage we get from the ascendancy now.
Note that it's a very rough draft, I haven't checked any calculations on what gems to use, etc.
With seven golems I wonder if it's best to add another support golem instead of adding another fire golem
