This looks really good. Just got my Witch to act 2 using that basic Contagion + Essence Drain + minion spam. Really liking that setup on her and was wondering where to go with it. Nice to see a Chaos focus for Blood Mage. Seeing all those deep purple icons on the skill bar just does something for me. I would rather not have to resort to elemental damage. Leave the fire and lightning to the Sorceress. Keep at it, I subbed and will be following your progress. You never know when they might give Blood Mage some love and lighten up on that health sacrifice. This has me thinking way back about my Necromancer in Guild Wars 1.
@@UrbanHermit76 I’m starting to come around to blood mage and think it’s actually quite strong for a pure dot build. I don’t really like it for hex blast as much. I’m now in t15s and clearing them comfortably and I don’t even use hex blast anymore and feel pretty tanky because of it.
@@DilbytheExile Hmmm... I came across a video that makes a case for Blood Mage being NOT so good for DoT, but rather favors Crit Chance. Take a look at the Hexblast build over at JoeManLuke. No minions, though. I think my Witch would feel lonely without her skeletal pets. That and I don't care for one-button builds. I need some skill variety.
@ you don’t have to take the crit nodes. You can def build bloodmage for crit if you want to but that’s not the direction I wanted to take this character in the long run. Sadly there isn’t a clear dot/curse ascendancy yet but the main reason I like bloodmage is I am just tanky as hell for the most part. In my current build u have 3k life and 3k energy shield (both are doubled by grim feast and life frags) with 56% block chance. I have one skeletal brute on my shield set up and when I switch to my scepter set up with sacrifice I have 2 brutes and 2 warriors
@@DilbytheExile Hey, thanks for the replies. She just made level 20, so I've got a ways to go. I'm following your first video, for now, as I think it's a great leveling build. I'm more of a casual gamer trying to "git gud." Pretty sure I died at least a dozen times on the act 1 Boss. Recently dove into Elden Ring and that was a rude awakening. Did my best for an hour or so before giving in to the need to watch some videos for ideas on what to do - gonna have to make the switch to controller for that one. Dragon's Dogma 2 is challenging for me, but I totally dig it - very manageable with keyboard/mouse. Anyhow... like I said, I like the theme of your build and that's something that matters to me. EA can be frustrating, though... I like your saying, "Use it now because it might get nerfed." 😄
Keep in mind that this is with me only having maybe an hour of playing around with these boots. I will likely find more optimized set ups but wanted to leave you guys with something while I continue to refine the build.
@@benzoo4588 im not 100% it will be nerfed into the ground or at all. But yea I was never intending to use these boots if this doesn’t work I will probably go for a hex blast build or maybe even an Original Sin build
Decaying Hex does not work with blasphemy. Also Mobility doesn't do anything to blink because it doesn't have any ms penalty. I wonder if plague does anything for boots, I've been using it too, Magnified effect is def noticeable, torn between if I like it better on decompose or blasphemy.
@@CrustPunkx I plan on doing that if this gets nerfed. The health costs of critblast is really what is holding me back at the moment. Currently thinking of going full dot and taking speghettification with essence drain, contagion, and dark effigy being my main work horse outside of these boots. Idk if it will work or not but I wanna check it out lol

levelling a chaos blood mage, feels really nice ! an update to the maxroll would be greatly appreciated though :)
Any chance you can post your build visa maxroll or something?
Yea ill see if i can do that tonight, im currently on vacation and wont be able to record anything but i think i could do that if i get a chance.
This build is really good to play but pls upload it on maxroll!
@mizinka603 I will, I am getting home from a long vacation tommorow and plan on getting back on the PoE content grind
@@DilbytheExile No worries dude and happy welcoming to the new year!
This build is awesome
Can you link the maxroll build? The link in the previous video is truncated for some reason.
Thanks dude. But do u have a B plan when that will be nerfed ? Im afraid to be stuck. (Lvl50 now). Thanks

upload the build outside of youtube so I can itemize it!
should do crit hexblast, you do about 150k, 80% crit and 600% crit damage

Shout out for the tekken music!!! ✊🏾
@@ahnreiwilliams6895 hell yea I prolly got hundreds if not thousands of hours listening to that song while I labbed back in the day lol
You maybe set up a discord server so der can be collected idears and talk and so on
Isnt this basically my build ;)
@@ImZertify are you doing the minion thing too where you sacrifice them? If so how much hp do you have them at?
Imagine trying to claim ownership of a build in a video game.
