Can someone tell me what curse do he use on the last showcash as an aura with blasphemy ? I cant tell

Not sure which clip is the last (in order it's act 1 boss).
On all the clips there are temporal chains in blasphemy, on expedition it's paired with enfeeble.

Was temporal chains, ty

And so now, running the demon form isn't really worth it for me, and the other ascension perks don't really synergize...

I also put minion pact on hexblast instead of poison, and poison on dark effigy, so it spams poison on everything.

+1, you might mentioned it somewhere, but how did you managed to get grim reap AND double curse blasphemy from only 136 spirit?

I think Demonform without Mastered Darkness is always worth running. If you have a very good weapon setup that just means you can now work on letting Demonform run up to 100+ stacks for a massive damage increase and use your regular setup as a strong option to fall back on when your Demonform is on cooldown.

At 100 stacks you are looking at well over 1500% increased spell damage, likely 1700% or 1800% depending on your level. With proper "shenanigans", some folks have gotten up to 200+ stacks already. I have not delved much into that tech yet, so can't give much advice, but that would be my goal if I were you.

Apart from that I think Altered Flesh and Hellhound are always useful for survivability tools. The fourth ascendancy would then definitely be questionable, but likely one of the "Beidat's" nodes would be the play.u

As for grim reap and double curse blasphemy, you need 138 spirit, not 136. 20% quality on blasphemy reduces the reservation costs by 10%, so two curses then cost 108 spirit. Then Grim Feast is another 30, for a total of 138. I believe this must come from a neck as typically for Demonform you will want to use Ghostwrithe.

How do you sustain 100+ stacks without dying? I don't have a high level witch yet so unsure of any gear/passives that help.

Hello all, I have updated my build guide here for Infernalist.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/21a13227-9ec7-4c9d-861b-855520d1d045/builds/4b4775cf-5534-4ad2-be5b-9b5ee1b1a2e3

I am now doing map clear with Hexblast + poisons and using ED to give supplemental DPS on bosses or extremely dense activities like Breach and Ritual.

Ultimately this feels 10x more comfortable to play as you can do 80% of mapping with a single button, 15% with 2 buttons and the final 5% might require 3-4 buttons.

I have left the tabs up for the old style of just ED Contagion, but I highly recommend giving poison Hexblast a try.

Intrigued by this list, any pointers and things to go for when starting out with this build in mind? I'm only in Act 2 yet so clearly a long ways to go, but want to start focusing my build.

I started out something like this in mind, for levelling I actually used demon form a lot, it has great burst damage even if you can't sustain it. for levelling you can definetly keep ED + cognition, and I also used some skeletons for meat shield, and the bone skills like unearth, in act 2.

I ditched the MOM idea a while back and went ES, demonform, Hexblast too. Started following your passive tree also and clearing tier 15 maps pretty fast. Map bosses too are really easy with this.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have a bit over 8k ES atm, which in maps turns into 16k

Only thing I'm worried about chaos dmg is scaling to pinnacle bosses. I've tried both the trialmaster and the time boss to try and get my 4th ascendancy, but the fights take a really long time and I run out of flasks (didn't have autoregen flask, that's on me) or eventually reach 0 honor (although currently time boss is bugged with demonform and crashes the game at about 25%, learned this the hard way).

Do we double down on some poison stuff or just minmax gear to beat the pinnacle bosses? But a great build indeed. Really fun mapping.

Currently finishing up act3 in cruel with a self brewed version of this ED + Contagion. So far everything is going okay. But gonna take a closer look at it once mapping is starting to get difficult. The list looks really cool :)

Yoo, we are also going to get some buffs!

What is the point of trying to hide what your build looks like?
