Interesting to see such a different approach to crit hexblast from my own. I might want to try incorporating the spike as well. Though my conclusion is that the final version of this sort of build will be some sort of blood magic approach, to avoid having to invest anything into mana. But ofc only possible at 8 asc points. Sad that im not playing again till january so I wont be here for when people hit that point and start theorycrafting life-only :(
have to give credit to you since i started to doing the crit hexblast blood mage once i saw your build diary before i was just a firewall andy. can’t wait to see the final form of your build 💯
Your vids are great too, trying to fit in disdain now after seeing your update. My problem with BM is that pathing to it is not feasible because its too far so the only option is the helm which competes with disdain which is just too damn strong. Other problem are that its impossible to full stack life as topside witch - forced to also scale ES otherwise you die to any t15 with damage mods too easily and of course BM doubles life costs. Also, already invesitng ~200 int points just to use gems is already 1/3 of the way there to scaling mana. I cant see the angle for BM unfortunately
Moved into a hexblast crit bloodmage after the CoF nerf, it was good, not great. After watching your videos, it's going much, MUCH better. The triple curse defence layers are making it smooth sailing. Thanks mate, keep it up!
love it. am currently maxing life regen at level 59 to break even with damage and survive. if i didn't have your guide to go off, i may have joined the majority of people who rerolled and quit. excited to follow your build exactly later.
Love the build. Really like using Blasphemy and curse debuffs in general so this is perfect for me. And having sceptre buffs are enjoyable in co-op. Hopefully it keeps working. Thank you a ton for making these, its going to be what I main until Templar comes out. Could you make a video breaking down how you'd go through the passive tree as you leveled if you wanted to do this before endgame? I just got Hexblast and want to build into it during the campaign.
pretty good guide, have me lots of ideas on how to pivot from ED/CONT with recoup into a stronger hexblast setup. On that note, are you able to update your maxroll guide so I can check things as a quick reference (like the tree for example) EDIT: I also want to ask about the 3 points in hindered capabilities - does this not specifically apply to the hinder debuff? As it doesn't look like that's being applied anywhere; Or is it simply picked up for the slow magnitude increase for Temporal Chains?
A small note here for people who might have the same problem. I had issue with offering not working correctly. My issue was that for weapon skill 2 I didnt have enough spirit so it lagged out. I adjusted spirt for weapon skill 2, so it has 2 clerics, and now it works fine
@@loreneea4989 Honestly, it's just the ascendancy I started with and I kept rolling with it. The purple flames from into the breach can double your damage though with this build. And 'reality rending' gives a chance to give 25%, 50%, and 100% more extra damage for chaos.
Any chance you can snapshot the character into readable format? Would make it easier to double check what you got. IE maxroll import etc. Also if you are utilizing weapon swap, Sigil Swap Staff has felt pretty nice.
Thanks for the video. The passive skills I initially chose were similar to this but relied on minions to tank & revive to heal me (sounds stupid but it was great through the campaign and early tiers), but was having trouble figuring out how to transition to crit & energy shield for higher tiers. Thought I'd have to drop event horizon and everything else on the right side of the tree but grim feast seems to completely alleviate the problem of you hitting your energy shield constantly so it never charges. I missed that your ES can overflow with it when I originally read it and it seems to be flavorful with blood mage since you're picking up orbs regardless. Gonna end up doing this. I barely need to make any changes and I have no idea how I didn't think of this. Thanks! Any reason for not picking up patient barrier?
Hey man, thanks for your informative videos! Since mana sustain is hard and leech got buffed I am wondering if blood magic would be a viable option for the blood mage. What do you think?
You’re further along than me but I am really liking hexblast blasphemy as chronomancer, trying to stack energy shield and recoup effects, we’ll see how it goes
Hi can't you essence craft defences - get a good ES roll then greater essence craft to hit the other ES roll when it goes rare? Also i'm running and archmage/EB dual-curse version of this build with kitoko's gloves to have massive lightning damage and electrocute chance(1/2) times on t15 bosses instead of freeze. I'm on 2.5k life 3k mana right now with 44% damage taken as mana(mental perseverance annointed and five 4% damage taken as mana jewels) and 60k tooltip dps with offering up. 500 mana regen per second when moving. I didnt know you can do wand + sceptre so watching your vids improved my build so much
i gave up crafting gear pieces hahahaha felt like ramming my head against a wall. Just bought all my gear. Life roll > ES roll imo, I dont think ES is that worth focusing on since we lose -1 prefix on all pieces for life, -1 on boots for MS, and -1 on chest for spirit. Might as well invest less into ES and get some mana prefixes to help with mana regen
too much suffix pressure, mainly because sceptre and my amulet is all damage mods. You could use it if you focus more on resists on amulet (hoenstly good idea) and get tankier
@@DistortionOCE I see, thanks. I'm level 70 and just hit end game. Keep dying on T1 maps. Got any tips? Also which nodes do I rush on the tree at my level? I only have 4 total ascendancy points, only put 1 into the first 3% life. waiting for the next 2 points to get the crit stuff
@@aeontempest8879 get the leech, then when u get your 3rd ascendancy u can drop it and go for the left side with crit damage per life if u have enough sustain, life per kill and regen.
I saw another build. The guy maxed his energy shield up to 11k+ and took a passive skill that sets your life to 1 and gives you immunity to chaos damage. So you no longer care about the loss of life from Blood Mage ascendancy. Also, there is a good synergy between chaos damage and poison. Plus you have a support gem for poison.
you should try the unique boots that have decompose on them. u barely ever need to even cast hexblast that direction , you kill 1 enemy and its spreading with the breach. I've tried running your setup with the curses but swapping to the decompose just completely made the mapping a lot easier
ive considered it but right now iahve 2 gear pieces alrady with no defensive stats, maulet and sceptre so its really hard to justify putting on another piece with 0 stats. Already hard enough to cap resists as it is
ive found that having only 1 curse does not really give me any damage cuz u can just go focus in offhand and with atziri's that gives max energy shield based on max hp is. ive ditched the tricurse cuz i felt like its too much of a loss on stats with the scepter being just a spirit stick with nothing else on it really. finding rest of the pieces with max resistance is hella expensive but its just so much more convinient to clear breaches with
ive also found that preemptive strike helps me a lot to clear maps even tho my gear is not that juiced so it might be nice alternative for ppl that have not reached that high crit damage just for clear :3

hi can we already play like this level 32? I love the style but I wouldn't want to reset my ancestry for nothing. Do you have a planner to share?❤
maxroll build here, slightly oudated with my old gear from the last video: maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/goi9n0h9
maxroll should be update again😀
update please
please update
please update
how do you apply 3 curses I thought the max was 2 with Whispers of Doom?
doedre's ring
doedres damning unique ring
By any chance you have a path of building link, or icy veins or something that allows us to easily browse it? I would love to try this

curse effect and aoe/curse aoe then any damage mods like crit/crti bonus/spell damage/chaos damage

the crit hit chance on your ammy works? i thought it had to be crit chance for spells which amulet cannot have?
yes
Great build, can you maybe make a guide on some site to share?

how did his hexblast damage go from 17k in the previous video to 42k in this one? I dont understand where the massive power boost came from
His skillgem lvl is 27. The multipliers apply after the flat boost from the skill.
Other than weapon how can I increase levels of chaos skills

what u think about atziri helmet in this build ?

What skills did you use for leveling until the Atlas, please?
Spark flame wall until 65, then cold bm until 3rd ascendancy
@@DistortionOCE With SRS early on or no?
why do you use essence drain to proc freeze and not contagion?
Faster cast time, contagion is single target and essence drain can be spread with projectile modifier supports

@@aeontempest8879 get the leech, then when u get your 3rd ascendancy u can drop it and go for the left side with crit damage per life if u have enough sustain, life per kill and regen.
What's the wand?
would you say this build is heavily gear dependent in terms of expensive gear?
definitely not a budget build, i would say a minimum of 100 exalts to start off with if your know what you're doing and what gear pieces to prioritise
how much is your crit chance？
Thoughts on bonestorm?
havent used
This build would be about 3 times better if visually there was a purple beam happening when you detonated, same as Hexblast on poe 1.
jewel focus cri or chaos dam?
curse effect + aoe, then damage nodes crit is more valuable than chaos/spell damage, mana regen is as good as damage mods
8% of Skill Mana Costs Converted to Life Cost on Jewel might be good for you
this is a pretty good idea, ty
Is this viable as a sorc?
unsure, the core of the build is bloodmage's sunder the flesh node
Maybe you can use "% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life" mod instead of ES
I havent tried it yet, but i mentioned that we have alot of mana issues so I'm hesitant to try. Might be good though
Build maxroll??? Pls
will add a comment with the link

lol 1 life on the ascendancy that scales with life.
@@MrLooCity? You literally cannot cast any spells with ci specced
@@DistortionOCE sorry for the misinformation. That guy used Infernalist ascendency.
you're also very close to Resonance maybe try converting Power Charges to Endurance Charges
not sure why you would want charges, this build doesnt generate any and charges dont do anything unless expended
Try Mask of sanguimancer and drop all mana
i dont use extraction support because it costs too much life, doubling life costs with mask is too much as well
@@DistortionOCE if u're scaling ES instead of mana the life cost isnt gonna be that bad tho, 300 ish life per cast for a 2.2k life is 1/7 your life
