Leveling Guide: Witch Infernalist Minion Army Summoner
|
Hi ! Thanks for the guide, works really well. Now I'm in endgame, and seems I have to respec to "endgame" build. My question is - why endgame build have to be different from the one I leveled up with ? And the second question when I have to respec to "endgame" build, where is the point that endgame build show better result than build for leveling. I'm asking b/c leveling build is pretty great and works on maps I run(t1-t3). Thanks in advace.

" Glad you like the build! Unleash is not worth using in the end game, the minions are just to weak to be effective. Detonate dead is being used instead since it is a very powerful skill to help with clear speed in maps. When you finish the campaign you can move over from the leveling guide to the end game guide. You can closely follow the skill tree changes. The skills trees are the same from 1-93 points. |

Hi!
Thank you for the build! I'm struggling with low damage from SRS. I'm using flammability but still low dmg. I'm lvl 24 and trying to pass a boss on lvl 22 map. Can you give me some advice how to improve damage? |

" Make sure you have the correct passive tree. Make sure you have the correct support gems for SRS. Make sure you use skeletal Arsonists with correct support gems and as many as you can have. Make sure you cast pain offering. Make sure you always have 10 SRS up by casting flame wall. Make sure you always have flammability up on the boss. Make sure to level up your gems when you find higher uncut gems. Use a sceptre that gives increased damage to allies and even minion skill levels. If you have exalted or chaos orbs buy oaksworn and Enfolding Dawn on trade. Last edited by Hoffen#2482 on Dec 18, 2024, 7:12:59 PM

I would like to give an update on the debate I had with Helm Breaker about the build previously:
I have switched to his build, and am playing it in HCSSF right now. Currently in the middle of the campaign. I think his approach to the build works better than mine. Here are some adjustments I made to it though: 1. I removed Bonestorm Trying to charge it loses too much SRS / Flame Wall uptime, and it's only there for a short period anyway. 2. Detonate Dead + Grim Feast are recommended to prepare for later acts, but I already found them incredibly useful for act 2. I put Flammability + Pain Offering, 2x Flame Wall for 10x SRS and then just spam Detonate Dead to clear packs. It's brilliant. 3. Sceptre + Shield I am not sure whether Helm Breaker is using Wand + Sceptre or Sceptre + Shield for his leveling build, but after dropping ED in Act 1, I have immediately swapped to Sceptre + Shield. The main cast spell is Flame Wall anyway (which we use for Arsonist projectiles + SRS upkeep), so no need for wand I think. Whether his or my, or a mixture between both supports, edge out, I can not exactly tell, as I haven't gotten around to doing the calcs for it, but I am having a very smooth run with his build and can highly recommend it. I have also tried his endgame build (https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bombarding-minions-infernalist-build-guide), and I think it's strictly superior to what I had. Detonate Dead as a spammable skill for large packs is definitely something I have been sleeping on. Last edited by Fae_Lyth#6750 on Dec 22, 2024, 10:27:27 PM

Might be a dumb question but, do i upgrade my skills with higher skill gems? Right now my skeleton Arsonist is level 2, but i have level 4 uncut skill gems that i can use. Do i use them to upgrade all my skills?

" Yes you should upgrade all your skills except detonate dead. |
|
" Yeah after your feedback I have now removed bonestorm since it is has a long channeling cast time and not really worth using most of the time. Detonate dead is better than Unearth but I want to keep the feel of having a larger minion army which Unearth provides. It is a preference thing at this point really. But Unearth becomes to weak to keep in the end game and DD is just to good to pass. Shield has always been the recommended off hand for the build. Detonate dead is such a strong skill right now that there is a risk it will get nerfed in the future xd |

Hi!
I'm finding I am not able to craft Shattershot onto Skeletal Arsonist. Was this recently changed in a patch? |
