POE 2 ✧ Lahkesis Queen of Chaos ✧ "Essence Drain " Guide releas (Showcase video include)

Just noticed an issue with demon form. It seems that upon casting it (or changing even zones while having it active) doesn't correctly applies the "+# to level of all spell".

Looking at the mana cost on the spell cast bar you can see they don't increase, and even the DPS in the gem section remains low (even though the level number seems ok). Un-socketing + re-socketing a skill / support correctly resets it to the right level (damage + mana cost wise), but that is very tedious.

Anyone else noticing the same thing?

Yes, it happens depending on how you enter a zone. If you enter transformed already, it's fine. If you do not and have to transform in a zone, you get hit. Unequiping/equiping weapon is also a fix.

Wow, the buff is real.
It's ~50% at level 31 and growing with levels (now scaling is 2.1 per 6 levels instead of 2 per 6 levels).

Strange that they decided to go scaling road, though.
I think low levels is where the help to chaos damage was needed the most.

Envenom nerf is noticeable and made bossing more annoying, but still we can reliably drain algnment for big ED.

you can just get a jewel to make up the missing 10% not a big deal

Does the DOT / Curse playstyle of witch really more superior for infernalist ?
I prefer theme of a blood mage more but the ascendancy doesn't look like, a good fit at first glance.

Chaos build is very good. I love it. If its better than infernalist ? I think it isnt.

I play chaos + blood mages and Its very good, u can play it if u want.

While I enjoy DOT build a lot and it is definitely endgame-viable, if you are looking for the best build for infernalist, it’s probably SRS at the moment.

Yeah, thought about it, will try (had time only for one map today).
This means that I will have to drop totem jewels, though, not sure if it is worth it.

I am currently running double curse Blasphemy setup with Ritualistic Curse and Magnified Effect. Anyone can confirm Ritualistic Curse working with Blasphemy?
