They patched the Srs spawning remnants from Grim Feast. On hit Srs should be slightly better than minion instability but it's still fine damage, do whatever feels best to you.
If your minions are getting stuck you can just double tap weapon swap and they will despawn/respawn immediately at your position as long as they were alive when weapon is swapped.
omg i love you!!! i dont use a 2nd wep, so just going to use a dummy one to do this... it's going to help so much in those stupid corridor maps will small doors T.T
Something I've figured for when minions are stuck somewhere. Have an alt equipment without spirit, swap and swap again so your minions respawn near you. Doesn't work for armor, but helps
Honestly, I would take old labs for ascendancy over sanctum. Why did they have to pick my most hated league mechanic ever? I've always played ranged classes, and I can't imagine being melee, when the whole point is to not get hit.
Thanks for the nice video! I was wondering why it doesnt show the 25% life reserved from the ascendancy. I mean in the first part of the video, is it not active or how it works?
When poe2 was announced my first thought was minions so I could focus on boss mechanics, but then when I found out that golems, hoag, reaper, holy relic, etc were NOT in the game and that heralds sucked, I was disappointed and planned on going blood mage instead. However, being a first character and on ssf, reddit makes it seem like a terrible idea so maybe I'll try this build. I've purposefully not ascended yet so I can still do Infernalist.
Bloodmage is really bad right now. I picked it without really understanding the mechanic behind it. Had invested in es. Your first ascendency will make you have to pay mana and life for the chance of blood orbs that can spawn on monster death and crit. I was playing EDC and a single curse costed me 1/3 of my life. Had to spec out of it.
This build was nerfed, right? Haven’t reached Cruel difficulty yet, but I still intend to play this since it’s the only build where I have some idea on what I’m doing. Currently added Corpse Explosion as a staple. Maybe replace it with Fireball? Or maybe switch from Skeletal Arsonists to Snipers instead? Not sure, but I’ll still play around it.
Don't Auras nodes also affect Offering Aura that you create? It gives over 30% to auras effect and tooltip for Sacrefice says "Aura", so it should work. I think its worth going down for it then.
I had to go back 10 seconds over and over again 10 times cause u only click on the gems for a split second so even pausing it to see which one is which is almost impossible on some
@@WafflezLovesArpgs but why without Minion Instability? It's extra damage from explosions, Spirits don't really last long so they might as well go with the bang in the end.
I believe you want your minion to die more often to proc grip feast making you virtually invincible. But it was nerfed so like he said, swap to SRS as dps.
The level of ascendancy skills increases with your character level, sockets for ascendancy skills work the same. As your character levels up the number of sockets increases.

Does minion instability give any benefit? Didn't that nerf basically only affect bossing? Mapping wise u shud still get plenty grim spawns?
Whats "Srs"?

I really love how low the energy is, the guide saying "im too lazy" the end of the video, "yeah whatever it' works" I relate and vibe.

this is assuming you have 0 spirit on your 2nd weapon. with this build my 2nd weapon slot is empty so its all g

0:55 you can use the weapon change trick to insta respawn your minions
Pressing `/~ by default (Tilde, next to 1) will direct your minions. Spam this to make them move, hover over a target to make them focus it.

Do Ultimatums?
@@Eric998765 Huh? To ascend, you need to do sanctum crap. Are you dumb?
Sadism
Tbh what I’m noticing the most in this game is that so many things perform very well
What do you think about using everlasting gaze with this build?
Thanks for the nice video!

Nice tyvm
Why do you stack so much ES? Does it improve damage (If so from where?) or is it just for tankiness?
Sure wish I could change from blood mage to this. Man that would be cool..
Don't Auras nodes also affect Offering Aura that you create? It gives over 30% to auras effect and tooltip for Sacrefice says "Aura", so it should work. I think its worth going down for it then.
yep offerings are auras too, it's def better to go down then left
Best 1st draught?
hi, do you will a updatet version for this? after grimfast nerf (or srs "corretion")
I had to go back 10 seconds over and over again 10 times cause u only click on the gems for a split second so even pausing it to see which one is which is almost impossible on some
?????? just click the link in the description.
does it still work? For me, Cast on ignite triggers like once every 10 Minutes...
They nerf grim feist. Switch to mind over matter and convert your ES to mana. WIN
Your Spirit scales from LIFE and you don't really need Mana for this build. All you do is pretty much spam Flame Wall....
@@bennysolo6151do you understand what mom does? you dont switch to eb/mom to cast more spells
will you make an update now that they fixed the bug with srs remants ?
Nope just run srs without minion instability and it's the exact same build.

@@bennysolo6151Another gem gives you more value since the hp of spirits arent high enough to make the 15% explosion worth it.
Did this build suffer greatly from the recent nerfs?
Still good , just need to add some skeleton warrios with minion instability.
Does the Minion Move keybind not work properly?
I found the default keybind for it didn’t work but if you change it to something else it works
Does this still work?
why is no one talking about annoints?? :DDD
build is 30-40% weaker, minions basically dead
ur missing 2 weapon set points btw
NvM Got it :)
I believe you want your minion to die more often to proc grip feast making you virtually invincible.
But it was nerfed so like he said, swap to SRS as dps.
