I run it to get more wither passively, I don't wanna press eye of winter on every rare to get a damage boost. The wither effect on there is nice too

@@aitchpe makes sense, it seems that Sunder the flesh node on blood mage is bugged, max life doesn't affect crit multi (at least tooltip doesn't show it) one question, in breaches i get the problem that i get overwhelmed by lots of mobs and they get through all my mana before i can kill them, maybe investing in more aoe/cast speed would be the play?

I'm at 77%, 330% bonus. Feels pretty solid

@@vicerousx1 Thanks for the answer! Do you have any ideas on how to get it closer to 100%? I'm on 73% with 482% bonus. Feels kinda weird especially for clear when Doom doesn't crit. Would it even be worth the effort getting it higher than ~75%?

I answered this in my other video which explains the mechanics and core concepts

I played vixens build a long long time ago and from what I remember the cdr was important for vixens itself not ID? Either way I wouldn't worry about it here since ID is only used to one shot screens not single target dps

Couple people pmed me in game, feel free to do so too

Infernalist is currently better in almost every way. You just have to gear and work around the penalties (degen, reserved life and resists) but it is worth it

The curse you use doesn't matter since you want it to expire instantly anyway. Use any level 3 curse, not enfeeble specifically

@@aitchpe so level 3 curses dont cost mana?

low level curse

You need life Res and mana, trading that for 30% crit chance sounds really bad. Leech is 1s unlike poe1 so the instant leech is insignificant as well

I’ll probably make an update tomorrow or the day after, too many moving parts atm

I do, I never used it for bossing though as I said in the previous video

@@aitchpe I see can I ask what ur rotation is? Thank u!

Atziris disdain doesn’t work like that. Other than that I think with mirror tier gear this setup would be the best for sustain and allow us to drop defiance. Captain lance has 5k mana and. 1.6k regen(but he has arcane surge scaling). You need at least 15% mana regen per second for it to feel good imo. This is a lot of stats to manage - mana, life, mana regen, crit, crit damage, res. You could also get spirit on against the darkness and run archmage, but this needs even more mana regen and only benefits single target, I already one shot normal mobs. Overall good idea but we’re talking Disneyland or months of farming to get there.

You run blasphemy which curses mobs in range so you're just hex blasting away

Hard to scale damage without crit on hexblast

@@aitchpe I see. Wouldn't the recent essence drain buff help with single target damage? Since it doesn't at all with crit, guess it would be nice for infernalist. Idk tho

@@aitchpe Archmage?

Replacing a focus with a sceptre sucks imo. Sceptres have no good stats for crit builds and malice has an unimpressive radius. On top of that I’m currently on 89% crit chance so no need for malice really. I don’t see the case for spirit either, there are no interesting auras for this build I think and there is no reason to use coc when you one shot screens. Atm I think the only thing which replaces a focus is the surrender unique shield.

No point since there are no armor nodes at the top of the tree. I heard steelmage say on stream that 'armor is not noticable until u hit 10k, at 10k you start feeling really good'. Aint no way you are hitting 10k without tree scaling. If you want pdr outside progenesis and taken as mana there is an affix on str shields 'extra phys reduction'

I improved my gear a bit since the video and have a lot more aoe now. Even then I do not think clearing with Hexblast has any merit. Impending doom is just so much better with coverage and you can get 2 six links in poe2 anyway. I use ID 95% of the time, only use Hexblast to one shot a rare or kill bosses. Archmage is interesting but so expensive , will test that

@@aitchpe yeah and with kitoko's gloves archmage lets me permanently electrocute rares and 1/2times in boss fights. So many ways to build hexblast i'm glad people are making videos on it I learn a lot to improve. The chestpiece options you gave was very good info

No, I forgot to mention it in the video, the curse you use for impending doom doesn’t matter since you want it to expire instantly. You can use any low level curse

"The advantage of using low-level curses is that it reduces both life and mana costs, making recovery much easier to manage."

Here's the translation of your addition: "I also think using Eye of Winter to apply Wither is excellent! The setup is: Eye of Winter / Withering Touch / Unleash / Chain."

The eye of winter tech is really interesting, I will have to try it out. And yes you can share the build, that’s why I posted it :)

​@@aitchpe Thank you！

​Additionally, I found that using the gloves Atziri's Acuity can maximize the life leech effect. As long as you don't get one-shot, your health stays in a pretty good state Moreover, it also provides a significant critical strike chance bonus, which is highly beneficial for our build. .​@@aitchpe

I use the 100 base spirit since I don’t see the need for more. If you do then there are 3 options - replace defiance for rare amulet, against the darkness jewel with spirit, unique shield with spirit

@aitchpe Got it thanks. I have having a blast last night with the new build but for some reason my aura stopped working now my whole character is bricked. Not sure what to do. Going to do some more research.

I anoint mental perseverance. I might path there eventually in the endgame tree and anoint another defensive or offensive node

If you use double curse in blasphemy you need to use doedre ring for additional curse for impending doom to work. This is an even bigger sacrifice imo since rings are so good. There’s a lot of minmaxing left to do here, if you really need spirit (idk what you would use though, blink maybe) you could get against the darkness jewel with spirit or replace defiance

curse the helm, hope you get spirit on it i got +20 on mine

I 'league started' this character doing multiple respecs on the way trying different skills. If I had to level now I'd do minions or spark. Chaos spells are really slow until maps imo

@@aitchpe around what level would you say it'd be ok to start running this build?

I switched to this in act 2 cruel but it really picks up when you get the 15% base crit ascendancy. You can skip crit nodes for chaos dmg and aoe until then
