For those that are following his gem setup, remove "Considered Casting" as that only works on self casted skills now (it does nothing for Cast on Ignite). It was patched in 0.1.0e.
So after going back through a bunch of my footage and paying a bit more attention to whats happening I realized that T4 Arbiter didn't actually get frozen by comet so in that kill I was completely missing the 75% cold pen from heavy frost. At this point I think there are a few options that seem viable 1. Glaciation: For 50% More Freeze build up 2. Energy Retention: For 35% chance to refund 50% of energy when you proc comet 3. Impetus: For 40% increased energy generation
I love approaching a build as solving the problems of cool stuff you want to use. This is all very insightful, I'm for sure taking some of these ideas and I explore infernalist myself. Thanks for sharing
Holy moly making this build has been the most rewarding yet challenging task I took on. Just when I got all my resistances capped with corrupted life regen rubys this guy drops and even more insane build. Huge props man!
10/10 build. Wanted to make pyromantic pack work but didnt have the motivation to farm my idea out. You found a cheaper way and it works so so good. The only thing that looks wrong is swift affliction on hexblast is hurting your build. Its not increasing the damage of the ignite since ignite is an ailment but it is shortening its duration.
@@KattKillslol I see. I was just skipping through to get the gist. Build still works clearly so doesn't really matter. It's impossible to be perfect on every detail especially when you gotta spend so much time coming up with the idea and farming and trying to get the video out asap. I learned good stuff from you too and I'll probably make something similar with recoup in the future 😂
I've been trying to workshop Pyromantic myself but I hadn't tried going the crit route. Also all those meta skill energy passives are probably really smart. Gonna give this a go - thanks for sharing man! I think you may have the best Pyromantic demon form out there :)
I love it. such a smart build with recoup and flask on shield recharge. couple things Ive done to help is I put lightning warp skill bar with soul drain, soul thief and sock siphon, and I put energy barrier on an open skill socket so lightning warp is culling strike with a teleport that on cull it triggers hp, mana, energy shield regen. energy retention is while a skill is active, being stunned triggers es recharge. Obviously with this build using flame vs mana doesn't need soul thief but I just wanted to throw that out for anyone reading, so if you're getting beat up / dying, if you lightning warp a mob low hp like in breach you trigger regen, and also using anything like solar orb / ice orb / ball lightning, if you get stunned during it you recharge energy shield
I saw a video by The Curse, and the eye of winter interaction was basically sourced from him by the commenter I think. Also, a bit more cheaper alternative to the same build IMO. Great build though, bringing together two builds into one :)
this build looks fire as soon as i get back home from my family ima change my current hexblast build to this xD i pre bought all the rubys already. keep up the good stuff man
I can confirm Sanctum does crash your game, but you can still do it without having the crash occur. My game crashed the first run, but after reentering to try again the second fight was fine. Sick build, I've been doing something similar that has been on reddit but I think I prefer this one with more crit/less regen. Glad I crafted the jewels when I did jesus the prices now
that's so crazy, i came up with same solutions with passives and stuff and infernal flame, so crazy how we thought of the same stuff haha nice to see im not crazy for my ideas and that someone else thinks of them too
damn son, always felt like my hexblaster was missing something with its clear speed, switched to this and **chefs kiss** really love the pyromantic pact synergy, just feels so much better than taking those lacklustre life conversion talents If it had one weakness I'd say it's those annoying map layouts where you have to go back-tracking/hunting for the monsters and you cant keep your recoup up and have to rebuild your stacks
@@zeekin this clears faster than the standard hexblast for you? No shot.. this is optimized for bossing. The regular hex build was a speed clear monster though, this is a bit slower as you rely on ignite procs
For those who are struggling with max fire res, you can go down on a passive tree to the strength area and pick up Prism Guard for +3 max fire res and Unnatural Resilience for +5. And you will also gain +2 to max lightning and cold res and 2 sockets for jewels. But it will cost you 17 skill points
Awesome guide, I did a slightly budgeted version which picks up Eldritch battery to increase max infernal flames and reduce the damage frequency due to not having max fire res jewels. Definitely didn't thought of using life recoup to sustain demonform from pyropact damage
Hey love the build! Glad you made Pyromantic Pact work! I switched over to this and I did have a question about searing flame on hexblast. I'm a little confused if maybe my understanding of ailments is wrong but why take searing flame on hexblast. Does the magnitude of the ignite affect energy gain on cast on ignite? I thought magnitude was just the damage from the ignite itself which i dont believe is our focus for this build anyway but wanted to ask for clarification
"From Nothing" jewel gives you access to the lower tree circle of regen nodes; you can take both Bulwark or Unwavering Stance. I don't know how you can not take it, the price of one jewel and several passive points is nothing over what I get in exchange. Also already mentioned here but "Against the Darkness" with max fire res+ reduced ignite. I put it in the jewel slot where you picked AoE and critical dmg, though I also took a small aoe circle with notable there too, and also took stun threshold there, all this instead of going to the branch that reduces the damage from ignite. You also don't need to stack full reduction, 70%+ is *more* than enough for ignite to last less than half a second or something like that
@@Oznek2014 There is no such search option yet. Have to search for everything manually until GGG comes up with a separate mod list for items with several mod variations. :(

thank you very much, i tried to love minions as hard as i could but you just can't push ahead fast enough with them. i have not even tried breach map or simulacrum with minions as i just don't think the will stand up to it. but this looks great. the moment i saw demon mommy was an option i prayed for someone smarter then me to figure it out and this really looks good. will be switching over immediately.
Hey mate, this is THE build I've been waiting for. A minionless Infernalist that actually slaps mobs about. I wont ever get to the build you've got here. But the fact it exists means I have a reason to play Witch at all, which is the class I wanted to play, but couldnt justify it when everything seemed so shit on it that wasnt minions. I have a question, on the Hexblast starter link for mobalytics. You take a bunch of nodes increasing potency of Arcane Surge, but as far as I can tell, you didnt take the node that gives you arcane surge on crit, and I dont know how else you get it if youre not a sorc? Can you explain for me, thanks mate!
Don't doubt yourself so much, you can totally get to the point I am in the video. For the starter build I have Arcane Surge Support linked to Hexblast so you pretty much permanently have arcane surge up.
@@KattKills I see it now! Thanks my friend. Im gunna try play Bonestorm until the point I can transition over. I bought the chest piece now before its price skyrockets, but I cant buy a ring yet (I have like 7 exalts only). I have subscribed, and also followed you on Twitter even though I dont use it. ha
Man I tried to figure out how to make something just like this work on Maxrolls build editor and I just wasn’t sure recoup would be enough to mitigate the self ignite and I wasn’t sure how I’d get enough fire resistance. Very cool you figured it out definitely gotta level my demon mommy now. I don’t have the divines for the damn rings atm though. I should’ve bought them when they were a couple exalts.
About the sanctum. Just turn off the demon form to pass the time trap. About the boss, you just have to kill him before he time shifts you. Just did that yesterday it works.
weird, I have the right supports, but my hextblast isn't igniting anything. any idea on what could be a solution? also, how much life recovery would you say is essential to the build?
you can semi craft the jewel: get a magic max fire res jewel and a random life mod then use greater essence of the body. its 1/3 chance to get life regen after
@@WFrancoAT I should have mentioned this in the video I totally forgot, if you manage to snipe a magic ruby with 2 max fire and either +totem life or +minion life its a 50/50 when you use the greater essence instead of a 1/3
Been playing Hexblast and now this while following your guides, always had the best results with them! One quesiton: I seem to reach about 6k ES with this build, should I undo some nodes wiht max ES to not get too much burn damage?
@@arnaudgrefeti3209 chaos damage doesnt bypass ES anymore only poison bypasses ES now and my life regen is so high it counter acts the poisons that I do get
Awesome build ty for the video, my only question is that i have a neck with 49 spirit and i'm not able to run grim feast, cast on ignite and blasphemy all together but you mentioned that you need 144 spirit to get the build working and i have 149 am i missing something?
@@KattKills Ur and absolute G thank you so much, especially for such a quick response. Excited to see what you're cookin up for ur new build and happy holidays!
Any reason why you're still running Despair in your Blasphemy aura, now that your damage is coming from a cold spell? Wouldn't Hypothermia (or even Flammability) make more sense?
@@fkocaman so because of double mings comet is gaining 81% of damage as extra chaos damage so my damage is fairly close to an even split between cold and chaos so things like -chaos res and wither are still very good damage multipliers for hexblast and comet, im also using the skill tree node Heavy Snow to ignore all cold resist on frozen targets, in my experience this is more then enough to delete bosses
Does the build not work as welll if you pick up the increased hp bonuses from the campaign or does it make no real difference? Also on your gems is the only thing you cared about 2% max fire and increased life regen?
yes you crash when you touch the time traps but you can turn off demon form to do the "find the exit" rooms. idk why youre saying you cant clear santum when i cleared it MANY times without an issue. you can also use immune to ignite charms if you cant afford all those jewels.
I really like the build. tested on a few maps but I feel like I die from out of nowhere a lot of times. Might have to figure something out still that I am not doing right.
@ im using 7 rubies with +2 max fire res and 1 node on the skill tree with +1 all elemental res. This puts you at 90% max fire res which is the hard cap
I dont know if its me, but im feeling super squishy after this swap. Its definitely playable. I dont know if its the loss of the dog, the extreme reduction in ES or the slower map clear time allowing more things to hit me. The single target is definitely fixed though, but i need to work on the skill tree for clear a little bit. Super juiced Maps feel a but rough comparitively
@its_spin im not on my PC right now but I think I'm at 4k ES, all res capped, level 93 etc. Im fairly sure that I can fix this feeling with a few tree adjustments. I was gigantic juiced with the hex build and I had done some optimization. I'll circle back with you in the comments if I address it, I only played 3 maps last night on this build and went to bed.
@its_spin Now that I'm thinking about it, I think 3 things will solve this. Perhaps independently, but definitely if you do all 3. Swap out 30% mor crit damage ascension point for hound, add in more damage support gems for hexblast (dont know what to remove but I'll update) and add in some ES on passive tree as there are some big nodes were missing. I think that would be a happy middle ground. Honestly, the dps on hexblast change would probably solve 90% of this issue though. Having to 3 shot stuff and no comets coming down feels bad.
@@its_spin First thing i noticed. inevetable critical sucks ass in Hexblast. We dont care about hex crit, it has a terrible base crit. Swapped that out with concentrated effect for about 45% more damage on hexblast.
@@its_spin Next thing im noticing now that im awake lol. The MAIN reason we feel so weak is that our ES is never doubled from grim feast. The ignite damage we take reduces it and then our recharge only gets it to 100% value, not 200% as were used to. This is going to make high ES cap way more important. I think that makes sense, but if you need more elaboration lmk. I am removing a few Areea of effect nodes, which sucks, but im putting points into ES. Also i put cold mastery in to Comet instead of concentrated effect, which i swapped into Hexblast for inevitable crit as I said above.
Interesting build. I'm getting frustrated playing with as infernalist Detonate Dead in maps, some mechanics (delirium and some ritual monsters mainly) don't leave a corpse on the ground and Ultimatum ones disappear so fast lol. Will definitely give a try since it's almost the same setup😅
Please tell me you know about the Sacrifice skill, right? You can use your own minions to blow up. High level Skeletal Brutes have *way* more hp than most map mobs. And you can use a couple clerics to then chain revive them just to blow up again.
Have you looked into the time-lost diamonds? There’s one that gives +1 to max fire red for every notable and 6% reduced time affected by ignite per small passive node, I was tinkering with something like this but the points invested into ES w/o Zealots oath gets expensive
@@seriouself4132 i looked at them a bit the main problem i had is that for this build there really didnt seem like a great place to even socket them. I think I’d be way more likely to try and figure out the right size of the new thread of hope thing to grab some insane notables
@@KattKillsif u forgo the fire res and ignite node pathing, getting +9 passive points, and investing them into the cluster of nodes near the AOE and crit nodes (the ES and AOE), you compensate the jewel lost in the fire res pathing with a time-lost diamond, and compensate the ignite reduced magnitude with the reduced time affected by ignite (which would go up to 66% I think), and u have some points left to spend on other things, basically getting more AOE and ES for free :3
Significantly better, the main problem with the other version is that its single target for bossing was terrible. This entire setup was designed to fix that issue.
Is there a way to not die immediately from this build without having dozens of divines worth of investment? I keep dying so fast after switching to this build from your previous one...
I would drop all the crit and just go into more energy shield, I played without crit until I got to T4 arbiter and it was fine until that boss, then I needed to go crit to melt him. I'll add a noncrit tree to the build planner when I get around to writing the whole guide either tonight or tomorrow
I just realized, why are you playing crit hexblast with ignite chance support, just to use cast on ignite? Isnt that a staight dps loss? I rather have another damaging gem, unless you don't have one maybe? Or the main dps is on cast on ignite? Sometimes is hard to understand poe2, to me that cast on x gem is more like utility than dps, or at least just a small burst button.
@ sorry im tired and misread that, hexblast doesnt really need that many damage supports to clear in maps and for bosses were just using it to proc comet which pretty much instantly deletes them
@@KattKills So to understand it better, you use crit hexblast with ignite chance to clear packs and as an utility tool to proc comet. But comet is the main damage dealer. I never thought cast on x support could be used as a main damage dealer, I thought it's like an extra spell cast on top of your regular casting.
@ so with very low investment into the proced skill thats can be the case. But there are also lots of different builds that are based around the Cast on X being the main damage Also yes your understanding in the first paragraph is correct
One of the skills I’ve been looking at for my next build is artillery ballista and you could probly no hit sanctum on a chonk with it, it has some uhhhh INTERESTING ways to scale it
@@danielsparrow3767 So I have a twitch in the linktree on my channel but im very inconsistent with streaming, dont have affiliate and dont have a dono link lol. Thanks for the offer tho, rn im just happy people are enjoying the builds, its really motivating me to be consistent for once.
I have to grab resilient and hale heart for life regen can't do it without it I wonder how much spare points I will be having to invest in anti ignite stuff after removing mana nodes
The build is fun the the inconvenience of demonform and complete lack of ability of mf is extremely harsh. Its like getting 1/3rd of the map and boss drops. Managing this build with mf increases price of some of the stuff tenfold minimum. And it would still be worse defence and offence.
Has anyone tested if ignite proliferation counts towards building your energy for cast on ignite? (Haven't finished watching the video so please excuse me if this is already answered haha)
Looks good, somehow not the biggest fan of Hexblast tho. I always compare it to spark... thinking... mayb no Blasphemy, different generator + an extra Cast on Ignite/Freeze/Shock... as mana is irrelevant with this setup...
@@seriouself4132 Despair gets a lot less effect because of Blasphemy, but in the end, solely on damage, Hexblast (without proccs) might be better in this setup. But Spark would be much more comfy to play with (more range, more proccs I think?) AND it would free up 54-60 spirit. Also we can always cast the curse ourselves for bosses. Could also put Mana Tempest in there either way, for more burst when ramping/standing still at start.
I dont understand how your gear is so good, its so insanely difficult to have ALL your rares HAVE crazy life regen, AND the resistances you need, AND the energy shield affixes. Oh yea, AND the recoup life on amulet?? Theres prob a trick to get every single thing you need on your gear exactly how u need it to be. At lvl 67 this build is like impossible to make it work, im missing 1 mings
@@terrodar19 yeah this is a very endgame version of hexblast, i’ve spent close to 100 Divs on my gear, your gear doesnt need to be anywhere close to as insane as mine to start playing this version tho, the main thing i think you NEED is 90 fire res altho im sure some people will make it work with less, i started with nothing but a ghostwrithe at level 45 and worked my way up to this point over the past 2 weeks
Ugh i made the mistake of respecting into this but I’m lacking the fire res from the jewels because they go for divines and a lot of the gear is expensive!! I’m also lacking the skill points cus I’m only lvl 88 so I’m taking sooo much dmg from pact
You can probly drop some damage nodes and on the left side path a little farther down past where I did to the + max fire res nodes. Hope that helps a bit :/
Yeah I spent around 100 divs on this final version idk prices after I posted this but before I did i think it was only like 10-20 divs to get the build functioning. Most of my currency went into getting higher ES I think my boots alone were like 25 div or something
@@KattKills I'm mostly looking at 2% max fire res + 12% life regen jewels. They seem pretty expensive rn. Guess I need to do more high tier breaches. Though I am using the old build but switched in eye of winter + orb of storms, which still feels good to use as my mana issue when map clearing was solved by putting mana on kill on my gloves.
I think you probly missed one of the campaign quests that gives permanent spirit Act 1 King in the Mists 30 spirit Act 3 Bog witch 30 spirit Act 3 cruel Bog witch 40 spirit

Got all my jewels for 2 div or less 10 minutes after this video came out. I assume they are about to rise in price lol. Maybe craft and flip?
Been playing Hexblast and now this while following your guides, always had the best results with them! One quesiton: I seem to reach about 6k ES with this build, should I undo some nodes wiht max ES to not get too much burn damage?
nice, was wondering how do you deal with chaos damage ? doens't it bypass es and oneshot you ?
@@arnaudgrefeti3209 chaos damage doesnt bypass ES anymore only poison bypasses ES now and my life regen is so high it counter acts the poisons that I do get
@arnaudgrefeti3209 in poe2 chaos damage no longer bypasses ES, instead it deals double damage to ES. Now only poison bypasses ES.
Do you know what happens when u take chaos inoculation with this build? Would you die instantly when you transform? (I am guessing yes)
you can't use ci
Would you recommend using % fire res + high life regen? or low life regen would work as well, the jewels are crazy expensive ._.
@@overlordevan im mostly using low life regen jewels so yes its perfectly fine
Do the fragments count for alternate characters as well?
Awesome build ty for the video, my only question is that i have a neck with 49 spirit and i'm not able to run grim feast, cast on ignite and blasphemy all together but you mentioned that you need 144 spirit to get the build working and i have 149 am i missing something?
@@chambermybeloved quality blasphemy and it will only reserve 54 spirit
@@KattKills Ur and absolute G thank you so much, especially for such a quick response. Excited to see what you're cookin up for ur new build and happy holidays!
how do you guys have 144 plus spirit. i have a amulet with 47 + 13 which is 60 spirit and im sitting at 130 spirit
@@deftoner101you might have missed some campaign spirit try lookin in act 1, act 3, act 3 cruel
Can we play this build with no life-recoup on amulet? And Do we still need Life regeneration on Jewel?
Yes you can play without recoup on amulet, you’ll probly just want to drop some damage for more recoup on the tree
Also do you know the bug with demon helm that converts ES to life regen?
Any reason why you're still running Despair in your Blasphemy aura, now that your damage is coming from a cold spell? Wouldn't Hypothermia (or even Flammability) make more sense?
@@fkocaman so because of double mings comet is gaining 81% of damage as extra chaos damage so my damage is fairly close to an even split between cold and chaos so things like -chaos res and wither are still very good damage multipliers for hexblast and comet, im also using the skill tree node Heavy Snow to ignore all cold resist on frozen targets, in my experience this is more then enough to delete bosses
Does the build not work as welll if you pick up the increased hp bonuses from the campaign or does it make no real difference? Also on your gems is the only thing you cared about 2% max fire and increased life regen?
Its not a big deal I also finished the quests, and for the gems yeah most of my gems are +2 max fire res and 8% increased life regen
yes you crash when you touch the time traps but you can turn off demon form to do the "find the exit" rooms. idk why youre saying you cant clear santum when i cleared it MANY times without an issue. you can also use immune to ignite charms if you cant afford all those jewels.
Should the maximum mana be lowered? So we can take fire damage at a higher frequency.Or is it that the maximum mana value has no effect on this BD?
The GOAT
Hello, what level minimun needed for that build? Whats about price for gear?
How would you level? Firewall spark at 20 when you get form? I just beat campaign with it,
Wondering if I should pivot
are the four ascendancies required for this to work?
you only need 3, you can drop the More Crit Damage one
@@KattKills Thank you very much. Thats what I did ^^
I really like the build. tested on a few maps but I feel like I die from out of nowhere a lot of times. Might have to figure something out still that I am not doing right.
was like a 50/50 for me. i either complete map without any issues deleting everything Or I am dead from something
What do you think are the best runes to socket into Ghostwrithe? If you didnt have to fix a res, would it maybe be max mana? or flask recovery?
trust me you'll need them to fix your res, if you dont right now you will when you start using mings
@@KattKills How did you get your res overcapped to 81%? the most I can get is 76%. Im guessing that 1% over 75% is from the node on the skill tree.
@ im using 7 rubies with +2 max fire res and 1 node on the skill tree with +1 all elemental res. This puts you at 90% max fire res which is the hard cap
I dont know if its me, but im feeling super squishy after this swap. Its definitely playable. I dont know if its the loss of the dog, the extreme reduction in ES or the slower map clear time allowing more things to hit me. The single target is definitely fixed though, but i need to work on the skill tree for clear a little bit. Super juiced Maps feel a but rough comparitively
@its_spin im not on my PC right now but I think I'm at 4k ES, all res capped, level 93 etc. Im fairly sure that I can fix this feeling with a few tree adjustments. I was gigantic juiced with the hex build and I had done some optimization. I'll circle back with you in the comments if I address it, I only played 3 maps last night on this build and went to bed.
@its_spin Now that I'm thinking about it, I think 3 things will solve this. Perhaps independently, but definitely if you do all 3. Swap out 30% mor crit damage ascension point for hound, add in more damage support gems for hexblast (dont know what to remove but I'll update) and add in some ES on passive tree as there are some big nodes were missing. I think that would be a happy middle ground. Honestly, the dps on hexblast change would probably solve 90% of this issue though. Having to 3 shot stuff and no comets coming down feels bad.
@@its_spin First thing i noticed. inevetable critical sucks ass in Hexblast. We dont care about hex crit, it has a terrible base crit. Swapped that out with concentrated effect for about 45% more damage on hexblast.
@@its_spin Next thing im noticing now that im awake lol. The MAIN reason we feel so weak is that our ES is never doubled from grim feast. The ignite damage we take reduces it and then our recharge only gets it to 100% value, not 200% as were used to. This is going to make high ES cap way more important. I think that makes sense, but if you need more elaboration lmk. I am removing a few Areea of effect nodes, which sucks, but im putting points into ES. Also i put cold mastery in to Comet instead of concentrated effect, which i swapped into Hexblast for inevitable crit as I said above.
Is this build sustainable without the "damage taken recouped as life" for the amulet
yes, just drop some of the damage nodes on the skill tree and take a few more damage taken recouped as life nodes
Interesting build. I'm getting frustrated playing with as infernalist Detonate Dead in maps, some mechanics (delirium and some ritual monsters mainly) don't leave a corpse on the ground and Ultimatum ones disappear so fast lol. Will definitely give a try since it's almost the same setup😅
Please tell me you know about the Sacrifice skill, right? You can use your own minions to blow up. High level Skeletal Brutes have *way* more hp than most map mobs. And you can use a couple clerics to then chain revive them just to blow up again.
Have you looked into the time-lost diamonds? There’s one that gives +1 to max fire red for every notable and 6% reduced time affected by ignite per small passive node, I was tinkering with something like this but the points invested into ES w/o Zealots oath gets expensive
@@seriouself4132 i looked at them a bit the main problem i had is that for this build there really didnt seem like a great place to even socket them. I think I’d be way more likely to try and figure out the right size of the new thread of hope thing to grab some insane notables
@@KattKillsif u forgo the fire res and ignite node pathing, getting +9 passive points, and investing them into the cluster of nodes near the AOE and crit nodes (the ES and AOE), you compensate the jewel lost in the fire res pathing with a time-lost diamond, and compensate the ignite reduced magnitude with the reduced time affected by ignite (which would go up to 66% I think), and u have some points left to spend on other things, basically getting more AOE and ES for free :3
@@seriouself4132can u link me how to search the jewel with max fire res and reduce ignite? I have a hardtime with poe2 trade

I think you can use ritualistic curse on blasphemy inn addition to mag. I didn't test it for sure but it changes the tooltip radius

How much regen would we need in gear? It does not look like we get much increase life reng on the tree. Would the recoup be enough without regen gear?
does damage taken recouped as life work on the health youre losing from the demon form stacks?
@@morrt8579 no recoup only works with hit damage, but it does work with the hit of fire damage you take from overflowing infernal flame
@@KattKills thank you
@@morrt8579 np bro
so is there a way to run this with less fire res? for us that cant afford that many jewels? maybe with more points on recoup dmg as life?
I'm only level 89 with this build which nodes should I drop so that I can go get the fireproof node?
Bringer of Flame requires you to "not be on low Infernal Flame" to get the ignite chance. Is this a problem?
it would only be a problem if you your hexblast costs more infernal flame then your entire pool and instantly filled the entire bar in one hit
If you have gear with max mana on it does it add to max infernal flame ?
yes
how much better is this version compared to the normal hexblast one you posted awhile back
Significantly better, the main problem with the other version is that its single target for bossing was terrible. This entire setup was designed to fix that issue.
Is there a way to not die immediately from this build without having dozens of divines worth of investment? I keep dying so fast after switching to this build from your previous one...
I would drop all the crit and just go into more energy shield, I played without crit until I got to T4 arbiter and it was fine until that boss, then I needed to go crit to melt him. I'll add a noncrit tree to the build planner when I get around to writing the whole guide either tonight or tomorrow
Is this even playable within under the 90% res?
What annoint on the ammy with this swap?
@@Mike-hh2lr im still just using Resilient Soul right now. Everything else I was looking at was going to cost multiple Divs and didnt seem worth it
@KattKills yea I slammed it on. Had to buy a new ammy :(. My 20 div +2 spells ammy was 2 spirit short to run this setup
Damn I also wanted to make it work but didn’t find enough sustain… GG
Which Level U suggest u need with this build ?
I just realized, why are you playing crit hexblast with ignite chance support, just to use cast on ignite? Isnt that a staight dps loss? I rather have another damaging gem, unless you don't have one maybe? Or the main dps is on cast on ignite? Sometimes is hard to understand poe2, to me that cast on x gem is more like utility than dps, or at least just a small burst button.
Im playing crit because it like 10x’d my boss dps and I couldnt instantly kill T4 Arbiter without switching to crit
@KattKills No I meant why crit hexblast with ignite chance support.
@ sorry im tired and misread that, hexblast doesnt really need that many damage supports to clear in maps and for bosses were just using it to proc comet which pretty much instantly deletes them
@@KattKills So to understand it better, you use crit hexblast with ignite chance to clear packs and as an utility tool to proc comet. But comet is the main damage dealer.
I never thought cast on x support could be used as a main damage dealer, I thought it's like an extra spell cast on top of your regular casting.
@ so with very low investment into the proced skill thats can be the case. But there are also lots of different builds that are based around the Cast on X being the main damage
Also yes your understanding in the first paragraph is correct

Next build idea: Embrace The Darkness Monk for Temporalis farming.

@@danielsparrow3767 So I have a twitch in the linktree on my channel but im very inconsistent with streaming, dont have affiliate and dont have a dono link lol. Thanks for the offer tho, rn im just happy people are enjoying the builds, its really motivating me to be consistent for once.
I have to grab resilient and hale heart for life regen can't do it without it I wonder how much spare points I will be having to invest in anti ignite stuff after removing mana nodes
The build is fun the the inconvenience of demonform and complete lack of ability of mf is extremely harsh. Its like getting 1/3rd of the map and boss drops. Managing this build with mf increases price of some of the stuff tenfold minimum. And it would still be worse defence and offence.
Has anyone tested if ignite proliferation counts towards building your energy for cast on ignite? (Haven't finished watching the video so please excuse me if this is already answered haha)
Rarity unfortunately matters it applies to map farming and currency and sustain on t15 map pieces
Minion build next plz :)
This build is really fun, but I keep dying by myself a lot. I guess I need to practice more.
Looks good, somehow not the biggest fan of Hexblast tho. I always compare it to spark... thinking... mayb no Blasphemy, different generator + an extra Cast on Ignite/Freeze/Shock... as mana is irrelevant with this setup...
Yea spark should be way better... i will experiment
The rings give added chaos + the chaos res curses we are applying + the damage from hexblast should be at least close to spark, no?
@@seriouself4132 Despair gets a lot less effect because of Blasphemy, but in the end, solely on damage, Hexblast (without proccs) might be better in this setup. But Spark would be much more comfy to play with (more range, more proccs I think?) AND it would free up 54-60 spirit. Also we can always cast the curse ourselves for bosses. Could also put Mana Tempest in there either way, for more burst when ramping/standing still at start.
damn nice. Cant get the gear shit been all up in price
Yep I had that bug.
Enabling blasphemy on controller is weapon set 2
I dont understand how your gear is so good, its so insanely difficult to have ALL your rares HAVE crazy life regen, AND the resistances you need, AND the energy shield affixes. Oh yea, AND the recoup life on amulet?? Theres prob a trick to get every single thing you need on your gear exactly how u need it to be. At lvl 67 this build is like impossible to make it work, im missing 1 mings
@@terrodar19 yeah this is a very endgame version of hexblast, i’ve spent close to 100 Divs on my gear, your gear doesnt need to be anywhere close to as insane as mine to start playing this version tho, the main thing i think you NEED is 90 fire res altho im sure some people will make it work with less, i started with nothing but a ghostwrithe at level 45 and worked my way up to this point over the past 2 weeks
Ugh i made the mistake of respecting into this but I’m lacking the fire res from the jewels because they go for divines and a lot of the gear is expensive!! I’m also lacking the skill points cus I’m only lvl 88 so I’m taking sooo much dmg from pact
You can probly drop some damage nodes and on the left side path a little farther down past where I did to the + max fire res nodes. Hope that helps a bit :/
Did anyone tell you how awsome you are?
put your herbalism on grim feast.. the spirit cost for herbalism is increased due to your blasphemy supports esp heightened curse
So...this build costs like 70-80 divine orbs to finish it seems.
Yeah I spent around 100 divs on this final version idk prices after I posted this but before I did i think it was only like 10-20 divs to get the build functioning. Most of my currency went into getting higher ES I think my boots alone were like 25 div or something
@@KattKills I'm mostly looking at 2% max fire res + 12% life regen jewels. They seem pretty expensive rn.
