Attrition is a Tier 14 Persistent Buff skill in Path of Exile 2 that rewards sustained combat against Rare and Unique enemies. The longer you remain in proximity to these foes, the more damage you deal—and eventually, you gain Culling Strike to finish them off decisively. This skill is ideal for boss-focused builds and extended engagements where presence and patience pay off.
"Stay close, stay relentless—Attrition turns endurance into execution."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Attrition gem with 4 support sockets.
