There's no need to heavily invest in armour when playing Blood Mage. She's perfectly fine stacking life, thanks to her built-in Progenesis acting like a life multiplier. For example, with 7k life, I effectively have 9.3k life against hits, which is pretty incredible if you ask me. And on top of that, we still have some armour. The ascendancy node "Blood Barbs" is absolutely BiS and what makes this ascendancy stand out, alongside other strong nodes. Gaining 150% of fire damage as extra physical damage for bleed is insanely powerful. My build is far from optimized-I still need a +2 amulet, better gloves, and a stronger bossing weapon. With these upgrades, I could easily double my damage. From my testing, this character currently deals anywhere from 500k to 1.2m bleed DPS. I’m not entirely sure what happened in the video, maybe I got really unlucky HoG rolls or something, but after rewatching my bossing footage, I consistently hit an average bleed DPS of ~900k, which translates to ~8m damage per hammer. Great clear speed for a melee character, excellent survivability, and solid damage. This build has it all. I just hope it doesn’t get nerfed, because with proper min-maxing, the potential is insane. Highly recommended.
This is DOPE! I wanted to do a bleed Bloodmage but was daunted by how far the bleed nodes are in the passive tree. Now that I see it's working, I'll try it out.
@@eugenering7592 quinn and one other . your the 3rd. I love the idea of being a witch slammer :). but ya the other 2 get alot of bleed nodes from tree that you dont. was just looking to understand the difference. Then i read deeper into comments and seen some things. I guess i was looking to be a regular like earthquake slammer or something for maps.
@@darkleafs the thing is, bleed chance is really just a dead stat. You don't need it for mapping, you don't feel it while mapping, it is just trash for mapping. Spending so much points just to make all your damage apply bleed makes no sense at all. Better to invest into AoE.
Sure. mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/61408137-5bb2-4eb5-83dd-63e979cc6c8a/builds/14a30383-26c8-44c2-bb69-9144341c6db2 A couple of notes: the main clearing setup is Leap Slam + Boneshatter. Leap Slam requires balancing though, and it heavily depends on a weapon you're using. Basically, your one Leap Slam should make white mobs primed for stun, so you can use Boneshatter afterwards. If your damage is too high, use any gem which decreases hit damage by 25%. If your damage is too low, use Ovepower support (50% more stun buildup) and\or other supports to further raise your damage. The most optimal way to deal damage is: 1. Earthshatter is used to break armour and to create Jagged Ground. You should use it a couple of times until you broke armour of an enemy. 2. Infernal Cry while being close to a boss. 3. Hammer of the Gods. 4. Flammability (I always forget about it and this gem is not mandatory, but it gives you a bit more damage). 5. Keep spamming Earthshatter to create Jagged Ground.
Hi. In your next video with this character. Could you just move over everything for us to see. For example. Open the gem window, then just hover mouse over all the gems + support gems, that way we can see what you got there. Then open passive tree and I think just zooming out would be fine for us to see the nodes you took. Looks like a cool build. Or...If you copied the build from someone else, do you maybe have a link to that build so that we can copy it too? Keep up the good work.

Hello, just wondering how easy this build is to gear up for it to be viable? Do you need a lot of BiS gear to get it working comfortably or is it fine to use with mediocre gear and then work my way up using it? Thanks!
Hey man! I don’t think there’s a big difference in gearing this compared to Titan, for example. They’re pretty much the same. The only noticeable difference is that, as a Blood Mage, you need to be more deliberate with the passive tree. For instance, you absolutely shouldn’t invest in bleed for your “clearing” setup. Instead, focus on AoE, stun buildup, and similar stats. For big bleeds, you’ll use a second set of weapons and a specific passive tree to maximize bleed damage. This, in my opinion, is the only comfortable way to play this build.
This is just min-maxing. I swapped my helm because it gives me +30 strength instead of rarity, which translates to about +100 life with all the modifiers. Same story with the gloves. I also replaced my shield because Mahuxotl’s is better for bossing. It provides around 700-800 flat life, whereas a rare shield offers physical damage reduction and block-both of which are less effective in this scenario. Plus, Defiance of Destiny doesn’t help me on this boss, so I switched it out. You’ll be perfectly fine running maps with my bossing setup or handling bosses with my mapping setup. The issue here is that each run costs around 75ex, and I really don’t want to mess it up, which is why I swap gear. Whether you play it or not-no offense-I don’t really care. I’m not getting anything out of it either way.
intresting. who wins. Hammer of the Gods with hammer or plasma bolt with crossbow? I think wins detonate dead, cuz it literaly one shot bosses. if player add bleed to DD.... its be even more insane.
DD will be nerfed into oblivion, same with the other broken builds. Some of these builds don't require a lot of investment thankfully, but counting these "builds" as builds makes no sense. In 2 weeks from now almost all of them will be gone.
@@eugenering7592 What you mean do not requare invesments? lets see. DD make 25 m damage. even its be divided 10 times.(2% damage from max hp) its be 2,5 m damage. if we add BASE BLEED with no bonuses to magnitude or duration ....its be....4,375m from one explosion. even its be again nerfed by dived 4 times its be at least 1m from push. so DD need 40 times dived. to make same damage. its not exacly DD "OP insane", its synergy between blood mage and DD. Cuz it give Crit chance and crit damage. Cuz any other ascendasy have 1,5 or 2 times less crit chance , what make crit damage be uselles. its strange why no one talk about spark,ligthning arrow, Ash,totem,poison arrow to explosiob nerfs. Do not be stupid. its just Blood mage ascendasy so strong, not actualy DD. Even trash melee build work to kill bosses with blood mage. Also Chronomancer must be nerfed to oblivion. Cuz smart Chronomage endlessly can stop time and kill boss solo even with 4 customers with NO GEAR AT ALL. i mean 1 divine(80-100 exp) its not cost for gear to clearing t18 bosses with 4 customers. Even DD blood mage can not do this with same build cost .
Hey, you kinda need it to be in one place? I showed everything in the video, but I guess I can make it on the mobalytics website aswell. Will link it to you a bit later. Regarding the last build, I played as a Warbringer, and I didn't really like him as an ascendancy. Pretty weak, especially armour braking stuff. Witch is much stronger.

Woeking on a variation of this right now. Just hit 50. Each tree i see on this looks a bit different. Might hit you up for questions on dmg scaling
Sure. You probably saw the Quin69's build. He played ssf. This variation which I play is pretty much impossible on ssf, but much stronger.

Sure.

@@eugenering7592 So one of my weapon sets should focus on bleed and the other one on aoe for map clearing?
@@pancakes8447 yea. You can watch the second video, I just made some commentaries there to hopefully make it clear.
Why did you change all your gear and gems before the boss?
That one act alone turns me off the build. Is it mandatory?

Hi, I really like this build. I don’t know if there is maxroll.
Hey bro, I don't think there is a guide on the maxroll website tbh.
You build it just like Titan, no significant differences there.
Please tell me how 5slot gem skill thanks pro
Hey bro. I've seen a lot of changes from the previous video (two weeks ago). Can you provide skill composition and passive again this time?
