Dumb question but how were you able to add the third gem socket to the scepter?

Higher level skeletons from the sceptre get more support slots eventually without needing a jeweler's. Assuming it will be the same for 4th and 5th supports

Fixed a bug where some Persistent Buff Skills, such as Raging Spirits and Mana Remnants, were not working for the Infernalist when in Demon Form.


Was nice seeing this today on log in ... Its only week 1 and its going to change - at least they are working on it !!

thanks GGG

I switched to Skeletal Reavers with only a 4-link and I find it better than Raging Spirit already. My gear can only afford 1 Frost Mage but I'm happy to not need to spam the nerfed Ember-SRS interaction since not having 10 spirits up all the time felt like a huge DPS loss. Currently level 75 ascended twice only so far.

I'm still sad about the Fixation of Yix not working with Necromantic Talisman though.

- You touch crit but do avoid the "fire" up in the tree despite this being an ignite build...Is ignite not fire?

Minions' damage isn't affected by your damage modifiers.

For the guys using Flame Wall, which supports gems are you using?

First of all thanks for the build inspiration, been using a do or die mindset so far and it is great. I've been using these 3 minions in rotation, and damn they're nice. Arsonist for mob clearing, frost for CC when needed, archers for boss nuking. SRS is still in progress, and been testing some things too that's why my gems are all over the place. First tier2 support just dropped and used it for my SRS. I dropped any and all frontline minions and adopt a firing squad playstyle. LV 39, 1st trial completed.


Honestly poe2 summoner didn't feel like a minion build at all. Especially when using skele archers, it feels like I'm a normal mage with nuke build. Oh I've been using unearth with minion instability when I need frontline during map roaming. Wanted to try infernal legion SRS but waiting for another t2 support gem

I wish I could move away from SRS, but you can get them from less than the price of a single skelly...even if you don't put any support gem it's already worth it

Beware of “Altered Flesh” and re-spec “Loyal Hellhound” in “Beidat's Will”. I still had gems in Loyal Hellhound. They are gone. Maybe they'll come back when I (re)spec it, but it's not worth the 20k gold to me right now...

This actually makes total sense, I was wondering where some of my supports had mysteriously disappeared to.. lol. Definitely seems unintended/bug. Should report it I think.

So, I think you might be a lot better off not trying to scale ignite with this build and just committing to pure damage. Only the strongest ignite on a target deals damage, so trying to scale ignite with SRS that splits its base damage by 10 is going to be a bad time. I would avoid Searing Flame, and take Seething Body over Bringer of Flame. Bringer is only useful with Reavers, it's basically doing nothing for SRS since Spirits are already dealing fire damage and Bringer just makes non-fire damage contribute to ignite.

Ignite doesn't scale with number of minions, or minion attack speed. Attack speed on your gear, or from Pain Offering is doing nothing for your ignite DPS. Seething Body is a 20% damage multiplier across the board for all minions.

There's a reason poison is the ailment of choice for SRS in poe1 even though they deal fire damage. Ignite is always best with one big hit rather than lots of small ones.
