PoEtoetust

PoEtoetust is a term that emerged in online gaming communities, specifically related to the action role-playing game Path of Exile. It is a portmanteau of "Path of Exile" and "toetust," which is Estonian for "support." The term refers to a player who primarily focuses on providing support to their allies in group play. This often involves a specialized character build designed to enhance the survivability, damage, or utility of other party members.

Support builds in Path of Exile typically utilize a combination of auras, curses, and utility skills. Auras are buffs that provide various advantages to allies within their radius, such as increased resistances, life regeneration, or damage. Curses are debuffs that hinder enemies, making them more vulnerable to damage or less capable of attacking. Utility skills can include things like healing totems, defensive buffs, or crowd control effects. The goal of a PoEtoetust is to enable their teammates, often referred to as "carries," to progress through the game's challenging content more efficiently and safely. This playstyle is highly valued in endgame content where coordinated teams are essential for success.
