Witchhunter Base Class

Ascends From the Mercenary

Path of Exile 2 - Mercenary

To become a Witchhunter, one must take on the Mercenary as their starting class and complete their Ascension Trials. The other ascended option of the Mercenary would be the Gemling Legionnaire.

Due to the Mercenary's high AoE damage yet immobile nature, consider taking on trials that focus more on dealing with big groups of weak enemies that you can blast through!
