Bringer of Flame Minion Infernalist
|
I'm super new so this might be a dumb question, but why frost mage minions?
|
|
|
I'm not going full minions but still Fire/Raging Sprits Infernalist, however ran into an odd issue where the Raging Spirits dont summon during Demon Form. Anyone know why this is the case? The skill is still active during demon form in the UI, and my spirit isnt changing from losing my weapons to Demon Form.

" If I'd have to guess it's a combination of easier fodder for Pain Offering and CC on bosses due to the change in how freeze works in PoE II. Personally, I'd pick the Snipers for insta explosion, at least while using the hound. |

"Not dumb question at all. A few reasons: Chill/freeze is just really nice QoL They do a good amount of damage with Ice Bomb Later on there will be a support gem that makes ignites way stronger against frozen enemies |

Slight confusion with your PoB, the one you have linked is for a Sorc, not Witch, but you specify that it's for Witch. Not sure if you noticed this or not but the nodes you have aren't on both trees. Just for warning that it can cause some questions.

"Hmm it shows as Witch for me. Maybe an issue with PoEDB? Either way updated the OP to a new potentially better optimized tree |

I see that you put a point into MoM. How does this interact with infernal flame?

Have you tried Skeleton Snipers instead of frost mages?
Their poison cloud command skill explodes on being fired with 100% convertion to fire damage. The damage itself is insane 600% aoe fire dmg. With having 3 snipers you can fire it per cd basically. It has carried me through most of content (i am at the end of a2 already) Updt. A3, my explosion cloud dmg is 1.2k. Can spam it pretty much all the time. Killed A2 boss deathless What i do, is running with the Hound which just goes ahead, then fire the posion cloud and it makes instant 600% dmg explode. One-shots most of whites. Then just spam SRS via firewall, and also using raise zombie with increased duriation support because they are tanky and serve mostly as a good meat shield. Also, blasphemy is kinda bad?, I find it is just too punishing. -47% curse effect, and AoE is low (unless you want to support it with increased aoe for even more spirit reservation), so you have to come close to the enemies. I prefer to stay back near my snipers and let hound+zombies tank PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

OP I just want to say I'm glad for the thread and hope you continue updating it since it is so similar to what I was doing via intuition but curated by someone who is far more PoE proficient. Looking forward to the optimization.

Why Ember Fusillade and not Flame Wall? you can spawn more Raging spirits with flame wall, especially if you add fortress on it
