Few things I forgot to mention/have been talked about in the comments a lot: 1. IF HELLHOUND OR BLASPHEMY ARE DISABLING WHEN YOU ENTER DEMONFORM YOU NEED TO CLICK THE CHECK BOXES TO ENABLE THEM FOR ALL WEAPON SETS. Shout out to commenter that solved this. 2. Demonflame stacks do a minimum of 1 damage so there is no point stacking life reduction to lower then 200 maximum life as Demonflame does 0.5% of your life per stack and 0.5% of 200 is 1. 3. Reserving life via the Infernalists ascendency nodes DOES NOT LOWER YOUR LIFE. It makes a portion of your life unusable, your maximum life stays the same. 4. GGG ninja nerfed me last night and made the support gem considered casting not work with arctic armor -_-
From what i've gathered there's an issue with the UI when using a controller , so if you're on PC and using a controller, switch to mouse and keyboard and activate the skill that way. You can then go back to using controller and most people report it working. If you're a condemned soul like me, playing on console, it seems you're shit out of luck. This is for hellhound by the way, i had problems with Blasphemy and Demon form but it had to do with using spirit-reserving gems in demon form, and maybe some other finicky things. It should hopefully be solvable.
I dunno why, but different versions of this build started to pop up in my feed and dude... THIS is exactly why I wanted to try out PoE 2. Im rerolling my 3 char JUST because of this build. Im in act 3 and CANT wait to get to 60 to switch. Kudos Sir.
Dude, thank you so much for sharing all your work. I wanted a build like this since before the game came out, but i defaulted to minion and raging spirits. Last night, I respeced into demon form, but my build was all over the place. This helped me so much, and I am having so much fun now. Seriously, thank you. I'm subscribing!
@@emmanueltejano6246 no, CI puts you at 1hp and demonform has a line that says, you leave demonform at 1hp. also demon flame stacks do a minimum of 1 damage per stack so you would instantly die even without that line lol.
@KattKills I was able to get the chestpiece Ghostwrithe for 1 exalted orb with no issue. People have Ming's Ring going for 1 Divine orb on the trade site now. Is it worth paying a divine orb in your opinion, or should I keep waiting and try to get it cheaper? Currently, the build is clearing fine, but I feel once I get Ming's, I can remove my 10 demonflame cap. Just wanted your opinion on it if you don't mind.
I'm doing the pyromantic pact version. Basically +2 max fire res jewels everywhere, on their own they're a little expensive but become multiple Divs if they also have +regen and/or +aoe. To deal with the ignites, I sacrificed a belt suffix for +1 charm slot and use two dousing charms. The charms only trigger one at a time. The poison charm is not necessary because poison degens your life.... that you are regenning. I think I've died to poison like once ever. I'm also only running one ring to have some extra regen and resists. The downside is that I start degenning at 80 stacks and can life flask it to about 150. With more investment and especially the annoint, good gear etc, It would work. edit: oh and the reduced global defenses is the same as increased/reduced maximum energy shield, so your rings are canceled out by the top right node patient barrier. edit edit: 100 stacks start degen with 2 rings, and resists are bricked. hmm
@@thorbinator so in the description i have a link to a “highend” version of this specific setup and in part of it I talk about how the better version of this build probly uses rubies with both max fire res and life regen rate to hopefully negate pyro pact igniting you so you could take pyro pact and the all damage can ignite nodes. I dont think I’ve taken that poison charm off since i started playing this build around level 45 for some reason i thought poison melted ES but I was just wrong so thanks for that lmao
@@KattKillslvl 61 now. Hoping to go into endgame with this and start farming currency to transition to your Pyromantic Pact version. Thanks for all your efforts!
Seems like i can’t use hexblast and contagion at the same time at lvl 41. I thought it’s because they are both curses, and you can’t use more than one. Can you help me, I don’t understand?
@ contagion is not a curse. Blasphemy+Despair is what curses the enemies, then Hexblast detonates that. If you slot the gem on Contagion that contributes to freeze (I forget the name), then you Contagion + Hexblast (because Despair+Blasphemy will have also cursed that target) to practically instafreeze single targets. If that frozen also dies while frozen, then Contagion spreads that frozen status to surrounding mobs. Fun times!
Thank you for saving me from boring minion infernalist playstyle. One tip I can give is that you can have resistances on jewels which helped me cap out my res for this build.
If you're taking the +25 int node for mana, I think taking the Mana Blessing node close to the starting point instead would give you more mana. It gives 5% max mana + 20.
my god dude, this was the build I've been wanting to play. I started off as a chaos witch but went SRS/Arsonists because my leveling chaos build fell off and even though I ended up facetanking T16+ content, the clear speed was dependent on the minion AI not being godawful. I saw this video and spent around 3 div putting together what I could manage based off your guide. The first test run I did was fucking AMAZING. It feels so smooth and powerful, like I first wanted demon form to be way back when the game launched. I'm highly considering selling my insane minion gear in order to get the drip going for this build. Appreciate you putting this video out there for me to find 🙏
@@KattKills Couple questions if you got a moment- How do you make bossing a bit faster? (I'm already using wither stacking effigy) And is it worth it using a Perfect Jeweler's Orb on Hexblast or should I save the money? From your build guide it looks like it just gives you Arcane Tempo but not sure how impacful that is. Thanks again!
So cast speed is one of the few ways we have of massively increasing the dps of this build so arcane tempo is essentially just 25% more damage, its probably worth it. Bossing was for sure the weak point of this version of the build unfortunately. Since i released this vid i’ve spent around 40-50 divs gearing up and switching to a Pyromantic Pact, Cast on Ignite version of this build specifically trying to fix the single target issues. I would consider the cast on ignite version to be extremely endgame tho because of how expensive it is. I wanted to post a video on it this weekend but I had some stuff come up IRL the past couple days and couldn’t play as much, hopefully i’ll have something out by monday or tuesday.
@@KattKills Thanks for the info! Definitely will be going for the Pyromantic setup eventually, but something I saw elsewhere in the comments that actually helps a bit for single target is Mana Tempest. Lets you pack a few big punches against strong rares or bosses.
sick build! Also for Blasphemy, I found using the Expanse and Ritualistic Curse support gems are great because you get the boosted area without the downsides. Also nice they don't increase the spirit cost as they have "downsides". Might be nice for your build as you had an extra slot, unless you are trying to get a little more spirit and add another curse.
if you put clarity / cannabalism etc anything costing spirit on blasphemy it lowers their cost as well so I have clarity and cannabalism with despair on blasphemy which allows me to use grim feast at 107 spirit having an amulet with 47 spirit. when I unlock the last 40 spirit I will re enable arctic armour, maybe find an amulet with 3 more spirit so I can put vitality on it to cruise with until I can try the cast on ignite version
i have a question which reward did you choose from the act3 venom quest 25% increased Stun Threshold. 30% increased Elemental Ailment Threshold. 25% increased Mana Regeneration Rate. and +10% to Chaos Resistance. +5 to All Attributes. 15% reduced Slowing Potency of Debuffs on you. thx btw love the build im rerolling :D !!
@@bravxs1662 i took ele threshold for the first one and i cant remember what i took for the second but chaos res is for sure the best option. Hope you have fun with the build
im using the pyromantic pact with this build, you definitey need, NEED more max res. But pyro pact and the ignite node after it also enable cast on ignite really well. And by really well i mean like pre nerf cast on freeze well, it really helps with bossing bro i used the +20 buff on accident too and only realized by the time i was way into cruel
i have been hard at work to make it work with the infernal flame i tried a shit ton of thing (while leveling my witch) and i can confirm that damage recouped has life work with zealot's oath, so you we need 100+% of damage recoup has life which is achievable in theory. Now you may ask why do that ? The whole point of going infernal flame is to free passive point it wont be useful if you use those in recoup. here's my answer, demon form already has more than enough damage to clear map the issue is bossing dps right well with infernal flame you can go barer invocation. Now i haven't reach that point just yet so it will need further testing but i think i have the proof of concept edit : although there is a problem which is to scale correctly defense you may need an adorned and the king in the mist belt which will make it expensive af
@@KattKills before you invest test if infernal flame count has damage and not lost life, it should but i din't test that just yet also there is curently a bug with mana tempest while in demon form where mana tempest cost doesn't increase but still get the benefit. Bonus point demon form is a snap shot that wil lock your max life and energie shield but you can then just switch your gear. But given both are just bug that will get fix i suggest not investing to much into that.
hey mate , i had +5 to chaso spell wand and a good focus , so out of demon form i perfom pretty well and on boss i play with demon from , seems pretty solid , the wands doesnt cost much on shop actually , thanks for the showcase , i got bored of minion now switched to this and it is pretty fun (if i dont get randomly shot in juiced maps xdd) Also anoit the amulet with arcane blossom and freed 4 point and took 3x 7% chaos dmage + Void node for negative Chaos res and 29% more chaos damage.
I don't know if it was mentioned, but it's worth noting that each stack of Demonflame takes at least 1 hp/s, so even with 28 max hp and 70 recovery/s, I still drain at like 70 stacks. It does however open up the possibility of using an ES body with Spirit/regen/resists, or that body that makes you immune to ignites, since without Ghostwrithe I'm at 68 max hp. Needs to be a pretty hige ES body to even come close to the Ghostwrithe though.
Yeah I logged in about an hour ago and was messing with my gems and my considered casting was greyed out and after i removed it it said i couldn't socket it anymore. GGG ninja nerfed us last night😡
@ build still good tho I’m just trying to figure out how I’m going to get more life regen do I need gear (minus gloves) that have over 20 life regen per sec?
@ I’m currently level 69, getting up to about 45-50 stacks before my life started decreasing if I pay attention and keep healing I can get to about 80, I just want at least 150-200 life regen
@@RDNS3TV Eventually you just want the highest life regen rolls you can get on all the slots its available the easiest way to think about it is "life regen = spell damage". But i wouldn't sacrifice capping your elemental resists just for a higher life regen roll, in higher tier maps you will get ripped in half if your resists aren't capped.
if you go CI does the degen round down to 0? From what i know it usually rounds down. Then you can go extra hard on es and fire res. Theres an annoint for +1 max fire per 40 uncapped. You dont need to get chaos so its easier to stack that, if tou count the +max on jewels and +1 max near the es nodes, then you can go infernal flame no prob.
Been running this build for a while but I wanted to see your life regen/passive tree - holy crap dude your gear is nuts. I can’t believe how good your chest piece corrupted, guessing you paid a lot of divs?
@@KattKills I'm really liking this build a ton, I think your passive tree is the best among a couple of these that have popped up last 48h. I went down into Resilient Soul and full recovery, but I just realized that by you going into Reinforced barrier off on the left that you get a bunch of jewel slots to compensate, much more efficient. I appreciate you!
What would a variant of this setup look like if you took the 10 capped demon flame passive? i figure it would be a lot weaker but if your gear's making it difficult to run uncapped at high end would you take damage passives as well?
@@RageJ I’m gonna be a little blunt with this one, I think the ascendency node to cap Demonflame at 10 is horrifically bad. You are spending 2 entire ascendency points to lower your potential damage. I did not use that node at any point even when my gear was terrible and i could only maintain like 30-40 stacks of Demonflame.
I actually agree with him because I just kept spamming health potions to stay in a safe zone for health loss and turn back to normal form after. The cap on demonflame makes you too weak.
Question, having more than one curse on the enemy does it contribute to more damage? I am using Seed of Cataclysm Lazuli Ring to put 3 curses on enemies (I am a bloodmage), but I don't feel the damage being increased that much, and I am losing a ton of spirit just for that
My CoF Stormweaver (self-made) build got deleted by GGG, then I started a Witch to play minions, but I found the meta arsonists build very boring for some reason (even though I love minions in PoE1)... Then I spent all my gold/exalts to respec my minion infernalist witch into this build and I don't regret it, cause it's a (hex)blast to play. Like, I can actually dodge things properly with demon form!! It feels like the game was balanced around it or something.
@@MrXoxo2 there is an es node on the top side of the tree that gives i think +40% ES and 10% reduced life also if your mings dont have quality you can use life catalysts to take the reduced life on them from 20%>24%
I dont understand what I a doing wrong, I have no problem to keep demonform up in x time but at some point I start to lose so much HP that its just gone.. help please
i saw a guy that uses flame mana he changes that life potion regenerates energy shield and with grim feast , but he resets demonform every time the stacks get higher than his life regen. Also saw someone with gloves that gain 50 life and mana every kill so as long there is mobs he dont have to use life potion
Yo great video man! I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Thanks for the help with the build. When did you start being able to use demon form? I'm lvl 50 right now and am worried about going demon form because I don't have both rings and I can't find rares with good life Regen haha. Is it still worth it to go demon form for second lab?
I started playing this build around level 45, you dont need the rings at all to start playing this build. All i had when I started up the build was a ghostwrithe and a couple rares with terrible life regen rolls on them. You wont be able to stay stack demonflame super high and you'll have to health pot spam to stay in demon form but the build will function and you can buy upgrades as you farm currency.
The build looks soooo good, gj! The only thing that I'm wondering about is low hp comparing to chaos damage that pierce energy shield. Are we getting 1shotted by any chaos dmg when doing maps?
Maybe I missed it in the Video but how do you work around mobs that deal chaos damage with 271 hp? It kind of seems like a one shot sponge build in maps where chaos damage is dealt. Am I misunderstanding this?
stupid question by what not take the reduce maximum life for shield with ascendandy instead of the hound? would it not be even more damage? also i m using the 10 flames max right now for convenience (i am in cruel mode right now not even endgame :D). or is that useless in late game? best regards! i loooooove the chaos demon builds so much more than minions
One thing to consider would be the travel node in the ascendancy gives you %life. But with this low of life it might not matter. It's +8 es per max life so it would only end up giving him 233/8 = 29 flat es which isn't much es. I will say I've seen a build just like this and they took both the spirit reservation and the es reservation node. But taking the hellhound is a less damage taken multiplier and since he doesn't really have any mitigation that is essentially his source of mitigation. For example if he took a physical hit his max hit would be ~6700, with the extra ES it might be something like 7k but with the hellhound taking 20% of that, his max hit goes up to 6700 x 1.2 = 8k. Survivability is huge in endgame and although he might get more damage and better uptime on demon form, the difference between 1000% spell damage and 1100% isn't much (10%). I could be wrong tho but this is what I'm assuming.
One thing I want to add is that Reserving Life does not make you have 25% less life it makes 25% of your life pool not useable. You still have the same amount of max life so the damage you take form demonflame does not change.
Stun is based on your life by default. There’s a node close right of the witch start that changes your stun to be based on ES instead of life, taking that and some additional stun threshold should solve your problem. For freeze I’d recommend putting a freeze charm on your belt
I don't understand, when I turn into demon form my Grim Feast ability stops functioning completely. I have plenty of stats to use it at any level. Why is demon mode + Grim Feast bugged?
Hey Katt, what annoint did you do on ammy? And is there one you'd deem universal for if I moved towards pyromantic later (ergo, is a life regen one BIS or did you go mana?)
@@Sandraptor7 hale heart or resilient soul seem like the best, and idk which one gives more regen. I just went hale heart because it was cheaper at the time I anointed
You want it eventually, but because enhanced dash in demonform is so insane I think its fine to prio the other stats on your boots like regen and resists before movement speed
There's a unique helmet called Mask of the Stitched Demon Feathered Tiara that regens 0.05 life per second per maximum energy shield, but it removes all energy shield as well. Do you think it would be worth trying to work around for this build?
Hello, nice build! your video inspired me to make this as an alt character. I was thinking about min max potential and have you considered potentially annointing icebreaker (the notable to handle freeze) and path on the left towards prism guard while getting the +1 max fire res nodes? It seemed to me that was a potential angle towards getting value from the 4th ascendancy but I wanted to hear your thoughts.
One other thing I picked up playing this build. Leveling up above 90 is actually bad since it gives you 12 health per level. It's quite negligible around 3'ish health depending on your reduced life percentage but its not really worth it to level. I'm considering dying to lose my xp progress by dying lol.
did you consider trying resilient soul to allocate on the amulet vs hale heart? I'm wondering which is better to go for. I know hale heart says life recovery rate so I'm not sure how that calculates in vs life regeneration rate on resilient soul.
Is demon form at all viable before level 45? e.g. when you get your first ascendancy point at lvl 22 what should you spec into? Sorry I'm very new to the game and just don't want to play a lackluster build, I realize I will have to work up to what you showed in the vid
@@Dpiiiius taking the health is not a big deal, you can for sure switch before then, 45 is just when I switched to the build. The only things you NEED is demonform, and 60 spirit without the use of a weapon or offhand so you can use blasphemy + a curse, and the hexblast gem.
@@KattKills Your reply and your video are clutch bro, THANK YOU. So many TH-camrs dont reply! You out here doing god's work. I just subbed - looking forward to seeing how this build evolves 😎🤘🏽😈🔥
I wonder will dousing charm work ? it makes you immune to ignite so can u take the pyromantic pact and ignore mana ?Also how are you not running out of mana ? i copied your build and my mana is at 0 all the time
I've seen other builds use poison on hex blast so you can spread it with contagion. I really want something like poe 1 Ed contagion where you could clear multiple screens with one combo. Is there a reason you don't use poison here even though you have contagion? And I'm guessing ed is just too low dmg late game?
So ironically ED had the opposite problem in this setup for me lol. I originally was leveling with ED contagion planning to play that with demonform. The problem was that once i got a lot of demonflame stacks when i casr ED at something and instantly cast contagion on the same enemy ED would kill the enemy before the animation for contagion even finishes. It personally just felt terrible to play at that point so I went look for other options and found hexblast.
Here's my question that will help me really define the demon form build... Are there any cosmetics that are visible while in demon form? The twitch drop halo effect didn't work :(
im level 37 , doing srs build, but will soon now do 2nd trial and can become demon, whats the minmum needed to run this build? miniumm level? for it to run nice? 60? 40?
Hey Katt! I'm in love with the build, I got lucky and managed to make the entire setup with around 10divs, i wanted to jump in for ingenuity + capping fire res but i have no idea how to go about it, if you are already doing it, is it working well? much love
all "Increased damage" modifiers are additive with each other, so if you have 30% chaos damage + 100% spell damage = 130% damage for hexblast. Demonform gives 18% spell damage per stack in endgame and we are trying to achieve very high amounts of stacks like 150-300+, which is 2,700-5,400+ Spell damage. Getting another +30% chaos damage on the tree would essentially only be a 1-2% damage increase, which is an extremely inefficient use of skill points. What you want is either survivability or things that multiple our increased spell damage. Some examples of this are things like "Wither effect" which makes enemies take increased chaos damage. Lowering enemies curse resistance, or anything that says "More Damage" instead of "Increased Damage" as these modifiers are multiplicative with Increased Damage.
Hey your moba analytics has more than 100 points used on skill tree how we can do that because im 87lv and im not even close to have the your skill tree i see your video is kinda diffrent than moba can you help me? thank you.
Hey man really stuggling with this build currently at 430 hp 200 regen cant seem to do an ywhere near enough damage and cant get resists up to push more than t10 any tips pleasE?
Ive been loving this build so far but for the life of me I cannot figure out why literally every expedition I do one shots me. I have about a 1/10 chance of survival specifically just for expeditions. Doesnt matter if I up my res with rings or wear mings, I just die. Nothing else seems to hurt with all the es tho.
love the build was looking how to update mine as i have the budget now, don't you use too many life regen? i'm standing at 120 life regen now i can go to 100 stack of demon form without too much worries i would consider to up to 150/160 life regen then going to area of effect / cast speed or even mana regen. now i'm aiming at dark entries for last skill points it is worth? sorry for my broken english.
hey man. Thanks for the video, tons of good info and ideas. How you compare hexblade infernalist to the hexblade bloodmage variant? I'm not sure what are the pos and cons for each one
Hello i am wondering, how the reservation ascendancy will work with demon form, i see you are not using them so i guess you will still take damage based on the total life, not the reserved ?
Dude, first of all thank you for the explanation! Just swapped from minion last night and I'm confused lol when i acticate demon form, my despair (blasphemy) turns off, so my hexblast does zero damage. I've checked and i have enough spirit outside of weapons, trying replacing weapons with ones with no spirit on them, tryied removing blasphemy and puting it back in, nothing works. Could you please help me out? I spent a loooooot of currency here and really wanna make this stick hahaga thanks in advance dude
@ thanks for confirming it worked lol, you are not even close to the first person that told me they had this issue and before this I had no clue what the problem was. Have fun with the build
The build is very strong. I'm able to sustain 95 stacks so far but only have 1 ming's heart and am still lv 46. A lot os passive points to help with life reduction and regen. Farming some currency for another corrupted mings and we shall see the full potential. Looking for a cool build for my titan also! If you have any ideas, don't hesitate in sharing please!
so this is by far my fav build ever and im currentl level 61 and i was wondering why is your hex blast so expensive to cast i have 1080 mana and its not costing anything do you have something thats making it stronger that causes it to cost more? im only asking because if im missing out on dps i wanna know, i did use the prisms to make it 20% but even still its not costing anything

@KattKills yea i got my res. Now at ~70 and i sacraficed some demonform stacks for tankiness and i just wont die :) thank you for the video. I have 1 question tho. So the reinforced barrier nod is a bit confusing to me. I have 0 armor, will it still benefit me at 120% not low ebergy shield?
@@lovelaugh7299 I'm taking those nodes purely for the %increased energy shield part, all the stuff with armor does nothing for the build. Its basically just ES nodes that are close to a jewel socket so we can get another ruby and have something else we can take near the jewel socket. Honestly those nodes are questionable if you want to drop them for something else go for it.
@KattKills gotcha! Thats what i was thinking. I will experiment later today, if the ES loss is not too drastical i may try something else. Keep us updated on your journey too
Few things I forgot to mention/have been talked about in the comments a lot:
1. IF HELLHOUND OR BLASPHEMY ARE DISABLING WHEN YOU ENTER DEMONFORM YOU NEED TO CLICK THE CHECK BOXES TO ENABLE THEM FOR ALL WEAPON SETS. Shout out to commenter that solved this.
2. Demonflame stacks do a minimum of 1 damage so there is no point stacking life reduction to lower then 200 maximum life as Demonflame does 0.5% of your life per stack and 0.5% of 200 is 1.
3. Reserving life via the Infernalists ascendency nodes DOES NOT LOWER YOUR LIFE. It makes a portion of your life unusable, your maximum life stays the same.

Thanks for sharing it, man! Nice guide, also very satisfying to watch it running. Hope you keep that up to date with discoveries you find!!
Keep up the great content! This was so useful. Just having me think of things i haven't thought of already has made it worth it.
I'm doing the pyromantic pact version. Basically +2 max fire res jewels everywhere, on their own they're a little expensive but become multiple Divs if they also have +regen and/or +aoe. To deal with the ignites, I sacrificed a belt suffix for +1 charm slot and use two dousing charms. The charms only trigger one at a time. The poison charm is not necessary because poison degens your life.... that you are regenning. I think I've died to poison like once ever. I'm also only running one ring to have some extra regen and resists. The downside is that I start degenning at 80 stacks and can life flask it to about 150. With more investment and especially the annoint, good gear etc, It would work.
edit: oh and the reduced global defenses is the same as increased/reduced maximum energy shield, so your rings are canceled out by the top right node patient barrier.

@@KattKillslvl 61 now. Hoping to go into endgame with this and start farming currency to transition to your Pyromantic Pact version. Thanks for all your efforts!
Seems like i can’t use hexblast and contagion at the same time at lvl 41. I thought it’s because they are both curses, and you can’t use more than one. Can you help me, I don’t understand?
@ contagion is not a curse. Blasphemy+Despair is what curses the enemies, then Hexblast detonates that. If you slot the gem on Contagion that contributes to freeze (I forget the name), then you Contagion + Hexblast (because Despair+Blasphemy will have also cursed that target) to practically instafreeze single targets. If that frozen also dies while frozen, then Contagion spreads that frozen status to surrounding mobs. Fun times!
@@MichaelM2K23 thank you!
Thank you for saving me from boring minion infernalist playstyle. One tip I can give is that you can have resistances on jewels which helped me cap out my res for this build.
If you want a boost in single target, mana tempest with premed and lightning mastery actually adds quite a bit of extra damage.
If you're taking the +25 int node for mana, I think taking the Mana Blessing node close to the starting point instead would give you more mana. It gives 5% max mana + 20.
my god dude, this was the build I've been wanting to play. I started off as a chaos witch but went SRS/Arsonists because my leveling chaos build fell off and even though I ended up facetanking T16+ content, the clear speed was dependent on the minion AI not being godawful. I saw this video and spent around 3 div putting together what I could manage based off your guide. The first test run I did was fucking AMAZING. It feels so smooth and powerful, like I first wanted demon form to be way back when the game launched. I'm highly considering selling my insane minion gear in order to get the drip going for this build. Appreciate you putting this video out there for me to find 🙏
@@Syfmuna no bro glad you like the build hope you have a blast playing it
@@KattKills Couple questions if you got a moment- How do you make bossing a bit faster? (I'm already using wither stacking effigy) And is it worth it using a Perfect Jeweler's Orb on Hexblast or should I save the money? From your build guide it looks like it just gives you Arcane Tempo but not sure how impacful that is. Thanks again!
So cast speed is one of the few ways we have of massively increasing the dps of this build so arcane tempo is essentially just 25% more damage, its probably worth it. Bossing was for sure the weak point of this version of the build unfortunately. Since i released this vid i’ve spent around 40-50 divs gearing up and switching to a Pyromantic Pact, Cast on Ignite version of this build specifically trying to fix the single target issues. I would consider the cast on ignite version to be extremely endgame tho because of how expensive it is. I wanted to post a video on it this weekend but I had some stuff come up IRL the past couple days and couldn’t play as much, hopefully i’ll have something out by monday or tuesday.
@@KattKills Omg you made a version where pyromantic pact works? im gonna be excited for the vid cause i was just thinking on how to do it :P
@@KattKills Thanks for the info! Definitely will be going for the Pyromantic setup eventually, but something I saw elsewhere in the comments that actually helps a bit for single target is Mana Tempest. Lets you pack a few big punches against strong rares or bosses.
this is the exact type of build im looking for just starting a witch, because ive never been a minion guy, and this works perfect.
sick build! Also for Blasphemy, I found using the Expanse and Ritualistic Curse support gems are great because you get the boosted area without the downsides. Also nice they don't increase the spirit cost as they have "downsides".
Might be nice for your build as you had an extra slot, unless you are trying to get a little more spirit and add another curse.
@@iamnash thanks
Expanse does not work, only Ritualistic Curse.
@@ringlast5730 good to know thanks
Try using Eye of Winter with Withering Touch and Chain. I find its a lot easier to use than setting up Dark Effigy and Contagion

you should change annointment on neck to "Titan's Determination" 25% increased stun threashold 20% increased life regeneration recovery while moving
Amazing stuff thanks for this man!
np bro hope you have fun
if you put clarity / cannabalism etc anything costing spirit on blasphemy it lowers their cost as well so I have clarity and cannabalism with despair on blasphemy which allows me to use grim feast at 107 spirit having an amulet with 47 spirit. when I unlock the last 40 spirit I will re enable arctic armour, maybe find an amulet with 3 more spirit so I can put vitality on it to cruise with until I can try the cast on ignite version
Throw a Flesh Catalyst from Breach on the Ming's Heart, free health regen. Nice build.
btw, its REDUCED (vs increased) defenses, not LESS, thats why the impact is very small, two ES nodes are enough to compensate.

im using the pyromantic pact with this build, you definitey need, NEED more max res. But pyro pact and the ignite node after it also enable cast on ignite really well. And by really well i mean like pre nerf cast on freeze well, it really helps with bossing
bro i used the +20 buff on accident too and only realized by the time i was way into cruel
What gems do you use in cast on ignite?
Look into annointments Goring, Heavy Buffer, Volcanic Skin, Fireproof. Lots to mess around with in there over Hale Heart.
second curse temp chains cursed ground feels pretty good and helps with controlling fast enemies a lot.
Its just 1 passive point away.
i have been hard at work to make it work with the infernal flame i tried a shit ton of thing (while leveling my witch) and i can confirm that damage recouped has life work with zealot's oath, so you we need 100+% of damage recoup has life which is achievable in theory. Now you may ask why do that ? The whole point of going infernal flame is to free passive point it wont be useful if you use those in recoup. here's my answer, demon form already has more than enough damage to clear map the issue is bossing dps right well with infernal flame you can go barer invocation.
Now i haven't reach that point just yet so it will need further testing but i think i have the proof of concept
edit : although there is a problem which is to scale correctly defense you may need an adorned and the king in the mist belt which will make it expensive af
Thanks for this, this is unironically useful for me in my current setup lol. I would have never thought to test recoup with zealots oath.
@@KattKills before you invest test if infernal flame count has damage and not lost life, it should but i din't test that just yet
also there is curently a bug with mana tempest while in demon form where mana tempest cost doesn't increase but still get the benefit. Bonus point demon form is a snap shot that wil lock your max life and energie shield but you can then just switch your gear.
But given both are just bug that will get fix i suggest not investing to much into that.
hey mate , i had +5 to chaso spell wand and a good focus , so out of demon form i perfom pretty well and on boss i play with demon from , seems pretty solid , the wands doesnt cost much on shop actually , thanks for the showcase , i got bored of minion now switched to this and it is pretty fun (if i dont get randomly shot in juiced maps xdd)
Also anoit the amulet with arcane blossom and freed 4 point and took 3x 7% chaos dmage + Void node for negative Chaos res and 29% more chaos damage.
Yeah this seems... Yeah imma do this
W build guide and link I appreciate you explaining and showing priority for things which most people don't W vid
np bro have fun
Any thougts about getting Hale Heart and nodes around it in the passive tree via distilled emotions? Would that be a good investment?
I don't know if it was mentioned, but it's worth noting that each stack of Demonflame takes at least 1 hp/s, so even with 28 max hp and 70 recovery/s, I still drain at like 70 stacks.
It does however open up the possibility of using an ES body with Spirit/regen/resists, or that body that makes you immune to ignites, since without Ghostwrithe I'm at 68 max hp. Needs to be a pretty hige ES body to even come close to the Ghostwrithe though.
I have a shattering palm monk build which i enjoyed since it is fast paced and this looks so fun, imma try it out😮
Hope you have a blast
For some reason considered casting is saying that it can’t be socketed into Arctic armor
Yeah I logged in about an hour ago and was messing with my gems and my considered casting was greyed out and after i removed it it said i couldn't socket it anymore. GGG ninja nerfed us last night😡
@ build still good tho I’m just trying to figure out how I’m going to get more life regen do I need gear (minus gloves) that have over 20 life regen per sec?
@ I’m currently level 69, getting up to about 45-50 stacks before my life started decreasing if I pay attention and keep healing I can get to about 80, I just want at least 150-200 life regen
@@RDNS3TV Eventually you just want the highest life regen rolls you can get on all the slots its available the easiest way to think about it is "life regen = spell damage". But i wouldn't sacrifice capping your elemental resists just for a higher life regen roll, in higher tier maps you will get ripped in half if your resists aren't capped.
was thinking demon form was bugged and unplayable, im soon at maps now im having a blast this build is so much fun! hope no nerfs inc :S
@@Taratua glad you like the build bro
if you go CI does the degen round down to 0? From what i know it usually rounds down. Then you can go extra hard on es and fire res. Theres an annoint for +1 max fire per 40 uncapped. You dont need to get chaos so its easier to stack that, if tou count the +max on jewels and +1 max near the es nodes, then you can go infernal flame no prob.
It turns off at 1 hp, can't go CI
Demonflame the buff you get in demonform does a minimum of 1 damage per stack, so no you can't use CI
Kinf of hoped that the loot from the breach would appear in one pile after the breach closed, that would be a nice QOL

I appreciate you!
Thanks for the build and the video my dude. I'm trying this next time I start the game. Quick question though, why is your hexblast costing life?
Np bro hope you have fun playing this build for the life costs some of my rubies have the stat "4-8% of Skill Mana Costs Converted To Life Costs"
Nice one ,I picked the permanent 8% hp buff from act 1 boss twice, is my char still good for this build ?
Naw your fine I did the same thing lol
Phew! I did the same thing and thought I was toast since I want to switch from minions
What would a variant of this setup look like if you took the 10 capped demon flame passive? i figure it would be a lot weaker but if your gear's making it difficult to run uncapped at high end would you take damage passives as well?
@@RageJ I’m gonna be a little blunt with this one, I think the ascendency node to cap Demonflame at 10 is horrifically bad. You are spending 2 entire ascendency points to lower your potential damage. I did not use that node at any point even when my gear was terrible and i could only maintain like 30-40 stacks of Demonflame.
@ fair enough lol
I actually agree with him because I just kept spamming health potions to stay in a safe zone for health loss and turn back to normal form after. The cap on demonflame makes you too weak.
Is it bad if we picked up the +20 hp buff and 8% increased hp buff from the campaign?
It's a little bad but I did the same thing so it's not the end of the world lol I'm still blasting T15's just fine
Question, having more than one curse on the enemy does it contribute to more damage? I am using Seed of Cataclysm Lazuli Ring to put 3 curses on enemies (I am a bloodmage), but I don't feel the damage being increased that much, and I am losing a ton of spirit just for that
Also thanks for the content, although I am not infernalist, I didn't knew about the poison hit for the dark effigy
hexblast only gets damage from 1 curse, additional curses do not add more damage.
@@KattKills Thanks! I will update my build and make good use of my spirit
How much base life regen would you need to get this to work fine? Before the jewels
Thoughts on ED/Contagion?
@kattKills is two mings ring required?
My CoF Stormweaver (self-made) build got deleted by GGG, then I started a Witch to play minions, but I found the meta arsonists build very boring for some reason (even though I love minions in PoE1)... Then I spent all my gold/exalts to respec my minion infernalist witch into this build and I don't regret it, cause it's a (hex)blast to play. Like, I can actually dodge things properly with demon form!! It feels like the game was balanced around it or something.

i saw a guy that uses flame mana he changes that life potion regenerates energy shield and with grim feast , but he resets demonform every time the stacks get higher than his life regen. Also saw someone with gloves that gain 50 life and mana every kill so as long there is mobs he dont have to use life potion
Yo great video man! I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers. Thanks for the help with the build. When did you start being able to use demon form? I'm lvl 50 right now and am worried about going demon form because I don't have both rings and I can't find rares with good life Regen haha. Is it still worth it to go demon form for second lab?
I started playing this build around level 45, you dont need the rings at all to start playing this build. All i had when I started up the build was a ghostwrithe and a couple rares with terrible life regen rolls on them. You wont be able to stay stack demonflame super high and you'll have to health pot spam to stay in demon form but the build will function and you can buy upgrades as you farm currency.
@@KattKills awesome thank you so much!
@@austin8313 np bro
The build looks soooo good, gj! The only thing that I'm wondering about is low hp comparing to chaos damage that pierce energy shield. Are we getting 1shotted by any chaos dmg when doing maps?
chaos damage in poe 2 does double damage to energy shield it doesn't bypass energy shield
This ^
Maybe I missed it in the Video but how do you work around mobs that deal chaos damage with 271 hp? It kind of seems like a one shot sponge build in maps where chaos damage is dealt. Am I misunderstanding this?
chaos damage doesn't go through ES in PoE2, it just deals double damage to ES
Amazing.
stupid question by what not take the reduce maximum life for shield with ascendandy instead of the hound? would it not be even more damage? also i m using the 10 flames max right now for convenience (i am in cruel mode right now not even endgame :D). or is that useless in late game? best regards! i loooooove the chaos demon builds so much more than minions
One thing to consider would be the travel node in the ascendancy gives you %life. But with this low of life it might not matter. It's +8 es per max life so it would only end up giving him 233/8 = 29 flat es which isn't much es. I will say I've seen a build just like this and they took both the spirit reservation and the es reservation node. But taking the hellhound is a less damage taken multiplier and since he doesn't really have any mitigation that is essentially his source of mitigation. For example if he took a physical hit his max hit would be ~6700, with the extra ES it might be something like 7k but with the hellhound taking 20% of that, his max hit goes up to 6700 x 1.2 = 8k. Survivability is huge in endgame and although he might get more damage and better uptime on demon form, the difference between 1000% spell damage and 1100% isn't much (10%). I could be wrong tho but this is what I'm assuming.
@@austin8313 Thanks for your nice explanation mate! sounds plausible for me!
@@tobiasbollig6394 no problem man. There's no stupid questions with Poe haha. Even Poe 2 that's simpler than Poe 1 is still super complicated
One thing I want to add is that Reserving Life does not make you have 25% less life it makes 25% of your life pool not useable. You still have the same amount of max life so the damage you take form demonflame does not change.
Ive been struggling with this build with getting stunned or frozen, got any advice? Have max rez and not sure what else to do.
Stun is based on your life by default. There’s a node close right of the witch start that changes your stun to be based on ES instead of life, taking that and some additional stun threshold should solve your problem. For freeze I’d recommend putting a freeze charm on your belt
I don't understand, when I turn into demon form my Grim Feast ability stops functioning completely. I have plenty of stats to use it at any level. Why is demon mode + Grim Feast bugged?
It is not. You need 60 spirit without your weapons. If you don't have that much you can't run blasphemy + grim feast.
Hi there, Can't figure ot why my hexblast does zero dmg in demon form🤔, someone did have some advice?
if it is literally doing zero dmg is because you are not cursing the enemies

Hello, nice build! your video inspired me to make this as an alt character. I was thinking about min max potential and have you considered potentially annointing icebreaker (the notable to handle freeze) and path on the left towards prism guard while getting the +1 max fire res nodes?

One other thing I picked up playing this build. Leveling up above 90 is actually bad since it gives you 12 health per level.

I've seen other builds use poison on hex blast so you can spread it with contagion. I really want something like poe 1 Ed contagion where you could clear multiple screens with one combo. Is there a reason you don't use poison here even though you have contagion? And I'm guessing ed is just too low dmg late game?
So ironically ED had the opposite problem in this setup for me lol. I originally was leveling with ED contagion planning to play that with demonform. The problem was that once i got a lot of demonflame stacks when i casr ED at something and instantly cast contagion on the same enemy ED would kill the enemy before the animation for contagion even finishes. It personally just felt terrible to play at that point so I went look for other options and found hexblast.
Is the problem mainly because contagion is single target now?

build lookls amazing but i am confused, why did you take so little chaos damage nodes in the tree? it is a full chaos build would it not make sense?
all "Increased damage" modifiers are additive with each other, so if you have 30% chaos damage + 100% spell damage = 130% damage for hexblast. Demonform gives 18% spell damage per stack in endgame and we are trying to achieve very high amounts of stacks like 150-300+, which is 2,700-5,400+ Spell damage. Getting another +30% chaos damage on the tree would essentially only be a 1-2% damage increase, which is an extremely inefficient use of skill points. What you want is either survivability or things that multiple our increased spell damage. Some examples of this are things like "Wither effect" which makes enemies take increased chaos damage. Lowering enemies curse resistance, or anything that says "More Damage" instead of "Increased Damage" as these modifiers are multiplicative with Increased Damage.

If I dont have my last 2 ascendancy points should I drop hound or flesh?
@@thegenius4949 i would say drop flesh
How did you get 64+ spirit? I just get 100(campaign)+50(amulet)
@@matheusfernandes6251 my amulet has +15 on base item and +49 roll
i had the demonform build with fireblast. i does do a ton of dmg but its so slow and ur very vulnerable during fireblast. i just changed to ur build and god damn.... game feels like a joke now. thank u bro. i can stack up to 220 before i start losing life but i have to cap my resses again ._.
@@lovelaugh7299 glad your popping off now, and yeah fixing resists is the hardest part of this build lol
@KattKills yea i got my res. Now at ~70 and i sacraficed some demonform stacks for tankiness and i just wont die :) thank you for the video. I have 1 question tho. So the reinforced barrier nod is a bit confusing to me. I have 0 armor, will it still benefit me at 120% not low ebergy shield?
@@lovelaugh7299 I'm taking those nodes purely for the %increased energy shield part, all the stuff with armor does nothing for the build. Its basically just ES nodes that are close to a jewel socket so we can get another ruby and have something else we can take near the jewel socket. Honestly those nodes are questionable if you want to drop them for something else go for it.
@KattKills gotcha! Thats what i was thinking. I will experiment later today, if the ES loss is not too drastical i may try something else. Keep us updated on your journey too
im slowly maxing this build.. is it possible to 100% prevent hp loss from high stacked demon form?
