Thanks for this build! I actually made a witch infernalist 2 days ago and finished up your build. I then did some research into Impending Doom and its interactions with skill tree stuff as well as scaling. Here's some of the improvements I made (imo) at least on the offensive side of the build. Skills: The Blasphemy slow curse isn't really needed due to the build already having insane survivability with around 700-800 life regen also applying to the ES as such I replaced this with a second cast on ignite that has fire wall allowing me to stack even more ignite around me as well as doing some good damage. Skill Tree: I removed Master of hexes, this is because this node with the 25% reduction of curse duration doesn't actually help with impending doom procs. Impending doom procs off of Spell Cascade canceling out the initial placement of the curse. I also just didn't feel like the small increase in effectiveness of curses (on unique bosses its something like 3% increase) was useful. Instead those skill points were put into Invocated Efficiency and all the Triggered Spell damage nodes on the way. This is because Impending Doom is actually a triggered spell! Wow Woah Damage Scaling Go High! If you invest into all the Triggered Spell nodes near the main paths of the current skill tree you can get up to 169% increased damage on all the mechanics of this build. The Cast on Ignite skills and the Impending Doom damage. This also helps with mana sustain due to the 3% mana return. Other than the changes above I just invested a little more into mana regeneration to sustain my burst during bossing. Thanks so much for giving me the idea to run this build! Added on, if the helmet is fixed, do you think we kinda are forced to spec into the infinite self damage on ES with 90% fire resistance into self healing with flask loop build? It kinda seems to be the only way to sustain like we are now if the helmet interaction is gone. Hopefully HOPEFULLY they just make it a feature and let demon form enjoyers enjoy their builds lol.
that's some really thoughtful ideas, thanks for sharing. Initially, I also put points into triggered spell, but ended up not doing it due to having more damage than needed. It should also be noted that burning inscription is also considered an invoked spell as well so there's that. The helmet interaction might go away, but indeed it would be nice if it can stay lol. It's just a matter of priority for GGG at this point.
can you suggest what to put for second cast support gem with firewall? i have a bit mana issue after i switch blasphemy....Also will the support gem Arcane Surge work for firewall? thank you
@@chancollin1666 oh that’s probably to me, I have fortress on firewall, but I ended up removing it for draining bolt cause it’s 0.5 cast speed and 50 mana cost even at level 19 And yeah to save mana get a level 2-3 curse and use inspiration on comet
I was trying so hard to fit that helmet into the demon form but solving ehp was def above my brain level. Glad i got a helmet before the prices go up higher lol. Thanks for info on the interaction. Ill gladly take next to no reistances for 4 uniques in the build. Thabks :)

Interesting version of the build, will definitely try it out, I’m addicted to getting demon flame stacks. It’s probably not as useful for your build but mana tempest is also currently bugged during demon form, it doesn’t drain any mana so it’s just a straight up damage buff.
Hey lazy 🎉 i was afraid to use that build. Many uniques (harder to get res ect bc 3 itemslots are dead. No weapon or somthing.

Hey Lazy, I discovered your channel recently, inventive builds, ingenious use of POE 2 mechanics, great explainations and quality video. I really like your content and I can only encourage you to keep going. Here is my 2 cents of thought because I love this build and I would like to see it works perfectly post nerf. I think the interaction between Mask and Demon form is powerful and can't be ignored. Since it is % of life regen, we don't care about to be at 200 HP pool with Mask. With a little bit of basic math, you can quickly see that with 6000 ES you will be kick out of demon form at 600 stacks which is huge. With 8000 ES it will be at 800 stacks. So that means that you can go with a 3000 HP pool for example and remove flat regen stat from gear. May be combination with high HP pool and mana with MoM would do it in term of survivability. I don't have the time to check my idea so I share it here.
Thanks for sharing. I would like to point out that you do take 0.5 % life damage per demon flame stack. So i.e: 6000 hp and at 10 stacks, you would take 300 damage per second, and therefore not sustainable. Hence we want to keep our hp low. There’s another variant that go with high hp and reli on life recoup to sustain high stacks but the playstyle is not comfortable so I didn’t want to go into that yet.
@@LazyExile yep, sorry for the bad advice, i was thinking that Mask gives 0.05% of life per second per max ES, I just read it correctly and saw that it is 0.05 HP...
you made exactly what i wanted to play with this ascendancy the first day of EA and was not able to build, thank you, buid 10/10 and good explanation too
Pretty cool idea with the "From Nothing Diamond", never seen it in other guides! I've optimized my Demon form build for a clear speed, but i may need to use this trick, once the helmet bug gets fixed. Or well, technically it is not the helmet, since you can replace all the items once u get the shield and hp u need.
Hey Lazy, thanks for your inspiration on having fun with the demon form. The maintaining of lifereg and energy shield is what i have been searching for. Since i started a char from the scratch i fell in love with a variant that is enjoyable before the curses hit hard enough. For all fellow twinkers try Fireball with wildshards, unleash and scattershot as soon as you can wear the helmet to have tons of fun and aoe. Have to admit, your CPU/GPU might hate me for that tip. btw - how do you best maintain the mana needed for the Impending doom - i am falling low on mana quite quickly... Ty in advance fro your answer and keep the good work up
so there's a few thing: - Enfeeble should be level 3 - Try to have your tree like me and grab all the mana, reduce mana cost, mana regen - Have bigger pool of mana from gears - Get a good mana flask (with more mana recover taken from 15% life mod) That's all I'm doing
Wait this helmet is insane... i palyed a self ignite build before and never had enough life regen to keep more than 160 stacks bcs of it.. with this helmet, it should be able to play the ignite build again and keep it up to 300+ stacks pretty easy...
Fantastic build and video! Thank you for putting this together! Lvl 79 so far and haven't died since entering maps and making the swap. Hopefully the interaction with Demon Form snapshotting doesn't go away!
will there be any new updates to this build since the last poe interview ggg said that demon form should actually be able to hold weapon, and there is a bugg that's preventing it. if this does happen, will there be any new updates to the build to make it stronger? PS: IM ENJOYING THE BUILD
Good find with the helmet! Did not know that. I'll try to incorporate it to my build, maybe replace one of unique rings with rare to cover resistances lost from helmet, ooooor does demon form snapshot resistances as well :D. However this looks entirely based on a bug, snapshoting might get unexpectedly fixed. I will not sell stuff from my 200-250 stacks demon build, if switching to this, just in case :D
What about a leveling guide? I know you’ve done the really awesome leveling guides using the pillar of the cage God but what about leveling it as a regular build for league start?
Patch 0.1.1 - "Fixed a snapshotting issue with Energy Shield when using the Mask of the Stitched Demon Unique as an Infernalist." - This version is nerfed
_1-min-summary_ ⭕️ *Overview* The transcript details a powerful and innovative build in a gaming context, utilizing "demon form" for enhanced damage, mobility, and defensive capabilities. The focus is on maximizing "Impending Doom" with efficient resource management and unique item interactions. ⭕️ *Key Features of the Build* 1. *Demon Form Mechanics* - Transforms the character into a demon, granting increased spell damage, speed, and mobility. - Gains stacks of "demon flame," boosting damage up to 2,000% at higher stack levels. 2. *Optimal Health Management* - Maintain life near 200 HP to minimize damage taken from demon flame stacks. - Emphasis on high life regeneration through gear and skills. 3. *Skill and Damage Setup* - Uses "Impending Doom" triggered by expiring curses for significant AoE damage. - Combines "Spell Cascade," "Burning Inscription," and "Comet" for high single-target and AoE damage. - Cast-on-ignite effects trigger multiple comets for burst damage. 4. *Defensive Layers* - Casts "Enfeeble" and "Temporal Chains" to reduce enemy damage and slow their movement. - Achieves over 12K energy shield using unique gear like "Mask of the Stitch Demon." - Energy shield also converts into life regeneration, boosting survivability. 5. *Unique Item Interactions* - "Mask of the Stitch Demon" enhances life regen through energy shield but requires strategic equipping in demon form. - Additional gear focuses on life regen, mana scaling, and elemental resistances. ⭕️ *Itemization* - Prioritize life regeneration stats on amulets, rings, boots, and jewels. - Use corrupted gear with enhanced life regeneration rates for efficiency. - "Grim Fist" doubles energy shield for tankiness. ⭕️ *Skill Tree and Passive Allocation* - Focus on energy shield, curse effect, and mana recovery nodes. - Use jewels like "From Nothing" to unlock specific passives for enhanced regeneration and sustainability. - Avoid direct damage scaling on the tree, relying on demon form's innate damage boost. ⭕️ *Gameplay Loop* 1. Enter demon form and equip "Mask of the Stitch Demon." 2. Gradually ramp up demon flame stacks while clearing mobs. 3. Utilize skills like "Impending Doom" and "Comet" for massive damage output. 4. Maintain mana and life regen for sustained performance during maps and boss fights. ⭕️ *Pros and Cons* *Pros:* - Extremely tanky with high damage output. - Scales well for both mapping and bossing. - Innovative mechanics offer a unique playstyle. *Cons:* - Limited mobility compared to other builds. - Requires precise gear management and setup. - Slower start during maps until stacks ramp up. ⭕️ *Final Thoughts* This build is described as beginner-friendly yet scalable, with budget options available. It showcases a strong combination of survivability and damage, capable of handling challenging game content with ease.
Hey, thanks for the video. Did the fix the issue with the feathered Tiara because I removed it, then I turned to demon form, then Iequippedp my helmet, but I lost all my energy shield
Hello Lazy, thank you for your demon build and i do have some question about skill. can you suggest the remain skills slot for Lightning Warp, Ball Lightning and Eye of Winter? and what do you think about hexblast replace temporal chain? Also except Enfeeble ....should i level up all the skills to max because i saw in your video some are lower level Love u Lazy
Is the from nothing jewel manditory for the build? What are the best ascendancy nodes to take? Is this build a better map and breach clear than minions?I can't find any jewels with life regen on the market...
uh, its not really mandatory since you can allocate those to your amulet i believe? i pick Titan heart or whatever but that would add 20% Life regen rate only when im moving so there's that. Also for regen rate jewel, you can just filter item type jewel and stat filter #% life regen rate no?
- from nothing is very strong (life recovery rate is premium stats so Hale Heart is good) - I covered the ascendancies, but because reserved life doesn't count, you can just take Loyal Hellhound and it might be better - I don't compare build, I play it for the style and making stuff works. Minions are over saturated and is strong so it's probably better at everything and will also be expensive.
Zealot's Oath is kind of a trap when u reach higher stacks, because ES is all the defense u have and when you reach high stacks and you're barely covering the demonflame costs, you will have no recharge and almost no ES regen which means you will die in difficult content guaranteed.
We kill a lot of enemy and will sustain with Grim Feast instead, I kinda covered this. Zealot's Oath is good in the early because you're more susceptible to die at lower stacks than when you're killing everything at higher stacks 😊
that "From Nothing" jewel with "Unwavering Stance" perk, is that so rare that there isnt a single one in the trade market? Or do I search for something wrong?
can you check if your attributes might be from the set skill points? or if comet is not binded to demonform (you can check by socket comet in the skill gem slot to check)?
Hey nice guide, i transitioned to demon form at level 34 and was able to make it work just using the impending doom. This build is really broken and will be nerfed to the ground. Do you have any alternative item build so we can continue this demon form after the nerf?
The ES with mask off and on feels like a clear bug. Would this build be viable without the ES with mask working as intended? Mana pool will always be much smaller than a grim feast ES. MoM build feels very vulnerable to being 1shot
@Lazy Exile, how do you get so many comets to spawn? Ignite takes forever to stack it seems, even with impetus. Was this nerfed? If not, how do you know if comet is available in demon form? Thanks in advance.
Bro why is it that every build I play has a weird item interaction and gets fixed. First my Warrior with the "unscaleable" Cultist Hammer AoE that indeed scales, now the helmet. I play a hexblast build with a totally different try, but the fact I went from negative resistance cruel act 3 -> T15 Maps in less than 40 Ex is bonkers. I love Demonform.
the game is in EA, so it's healthy to play and share stuff so dev can patch things. There are certainly a lot more things going to get fix and balance so eventually we can have a balance game to play
Hello again @LazyExile, I played the entore day with you build and its real fun ! I just have another question… i am having BIG trouble getting to high life regen. It may be because i have no jewels yet and no %regen life on my belt but will it really boost it up to 1000+ ? I have my doubts that’s why I’m asking (also don’t have the hale hearts nodes). But yeah I can sustain until like 200 demon flame stacks now and its really fun already !
you answer the question yourself: - Hale Heart is good because it's life recovery rate not life regeneration rate (they have big different) - Jewels plays a big part, this is why we have so many jewels on the tree - flat regen adds up - Corruption on helmet and ghostwrithe is BIG
Yes seksmth one (honor) trial is bugged on 4th floor, game always crashes at boss fight because of some afterimage resource missing for demon form. Only option is to go Trial of Chaos. Hopefully not buggy, haven't tried yet. In any case, i'm lvl 89 and not missing those last two ascendancy nodes - they aren't any really good options for demon form after that.
Jesus christo this is an amazing build guide. I guess 15% of 1800 and 20% ignite of 1800 isn't too much. You might be able to fit archmage in there but no way you can keep blasphemy up and archmage doesn't trigger on dots.
Hey just wanted to ask if this build can be run with any skills or really only works with the ones you listed ? Because I personally LOVE Flame Blast but I also want to be able to do huge damage to bosses in one go which Im not so sure about. Also are the demon flames infinite or will you someday lose your life and return back ? Cause infinite sounds very good ;)
Hi Lazy, what do you think about not using the helmet, since I think it's a bug, instead using 2 Ming rings, obviously I know I'm not going to get to 600 stacks but it's okay I guess.
the helmet is mandatory for higher stacks, I guess it doesn't hurt to use it now. But if you want to use another version, you can run normal ES helmet and go with 2 ming's heart
like my pinned comments, and in the video, it's very flexible depends on what you need tbh. After demonform, and Altered Flesh, you could take any of the recommended ascendancy nodes. I'm currently playing with Loyal Hellhound and Beidat's Hand
@@LazyExile I see, rn i'm at 1k1 life regen I go like 500 stacks but i still struggle on boss map i got only 1k4 mana and my mana regen sucks i'll try to improve more the build
How do we get that much spirit? 30 for Grim, 60 for Cast on Ignite, 54 for Blasphemy is 144 total. Is a 44+ spirit necklace required? Clarity on top is another 10.
So whats the solution for the life im also stuck at 240 life regen which gets me like 230 stacks max , there has to be a build or something that buffs life regen like that helmet .
I explained in the video about life regen, basically a combination of corrupted helmet, helmet snapshot, life regen jewels, Haleheart, flat life regen, etc.
How much weaker is this build if I already took the maximum life from campaign? I'm just using my infernalist I had before to try this out but idk how much weaker it will be
I'm running a non stiched demon version with spark / frostwall, mom and grim feast. I have just upgraded to 2x 27% less life mings and I have a 61% ghostwrithe, I'm currently at 216 (or 212 if I take out 2 quality of life red supports) life and 200 is the hard cap, which I've seen people reach with no campaign buffs. So for me personally I can run around 6-8% less stacks than I could on a new character, idk how the math checks out on higher life versions like this build but I assume it can't be worse. In conclusion, if your infernalist is through campaign already don't bother making a new one. All of this could get nerfed at any time.
Hey @LazyExile, me again. How do you advise getting the from nothing diamond with the right allocated skill ? I can’t find it on the trading site (because it only shows the first 100 results) and can’t find the right allocated skill with it.
it's mainly there for the life regen per ES line, if you really want to push it higher, have a really high ES helmet when you transform, and swap with stitched demon after you turn into demon form
For anyone wondering : without the bugged mask you can also stack around 200 stacks . My setup is not ideal either , spent 20 EX and started using it at lvl 50. Right now I am speedrunning to lvl 70. lets see when I reach my limits ……
im trying to level into this build, but I can't put together a good build that can eventually morph into this. I've seen firewall/raging spirits builds but that looks so boring. I currently have a chaos build that uses contagion and essence drain with enfeeble + doom blast along with unearth and bone cage for some front line/defense. It's very good at clearing mobs, but my boss fights are atrocious. Do you have any suggestions to help me?
sorry I don't play that archetype so I don't know. If you're using demonform though, just get higher stacks and it might scales up the damage to be enough for bossing
Hi there! I really love your build I try to duplicate your build but have the problem i melt boss in short time yes. but the clear speed it really bad..... am i doing anything wrong?
I don't really have any problem with clearing honestly, most white mobs die from 1 tap of impending doom at 100+ stacks, and rare melts from being hit by comet
@@LazyExile it feel like Curse circle Impending Doom it not hit the monster sometime and not have enough DMG (even i got the Zone of Control passive) and it gain little few energy and COI not trigger but the BOSS not have this problem (Lv18 COI and i have tried to pick Dynamim and Anergis passive)
It shouldn't happens at higher stacks like I said, but also some people just dislike using spell cascade so you could technically use something like Arcane Tempo instead
If the helmet gets fixed I wonder if you just use the 2 rings + ingenuity, I got my health down to 70 and with only 210 life regen Im able to maintain 600 stacks of demon form, I havent seen many other people trying this for some reason
This is theory only. It shows u havent tried it. Demon form cant get lower than 1hp. So 200 hp vs 70hp dont make diff. The degen at the same rate. 200 hp is the cap
The truth is, I playtest/swap right at level 65, but I also have all the gears, and jewels ready so I can maintain 300+ stacks then. My recommendation is at least at 2 ascendancy, good enough gears and make the switch as soon as you can.
@@kaankalay8254 Human Form -> Demon Form, it snapshots your energy shield. Put on helm, gain mass life regen while still having an energy shield. Then the passive node on the far left makes it so excess life regen is applied to ES, but ES doesn't recharge normally. So you essentially have 700-1400 energy shield recharge constantly and not just after 4 seconds of not taking damage like normal.
yes, the step by step is you want to enter map in human form, take off the helmet, then see if your ES start regening, then turn into demonform and put the helmet back on
Do I need 4 gem sockets for enfeeble to work? I tried with 3 and don’t do much dmg at all. Can I use flamablity instead? And what jewel stats do u suggest it use? @lazyexile
flamability should be fine, you need 4 link for this to work because burning inscription help drop comet. Jewels stats are noted in the mobalytic guide
@@LazyExile THanks for the reply! For crafting the jewel i jsut apply the essence on the blue jewel and then that them all to the reforge station and gamble?
Im not doing enough damage with my impending doom until i reach about 60-70 stacks. Does this mean I just need to stack more maximum mana for it to do damage? I'm at 1100 mana and im having trouble clearing T8 under 60 stacks
we scale damage with stacks, so under 60 stacks is nothing as we want to go for 300+ stacks. Generally around the 100 marks you shouldn't have any problem clearing (+ more mana is better so try to get those mana roll on your gear)
Hey, i love your build, but How can you activate All buffs / skills? I have to get 160 spirit with All the gemmes. How Do you Do this with 154 spirit? ;)
I read that reserved life doesn't lower the amount of HP that is drained because it's still considered total HP, which the degen is based off of. Is this true? Great video, excited to get enough exalts on HC !
@@LazyExile yes, reserved life doesn't affect the % maximum life drain from demon form, you have 1.4k regen per second, demon form is 0.5% of max hp drained per stack = 1400/411 * 200 = ~681 stacks of demon form before your life begins dropping however GGG has screwed up the maths somewhere along the way so it can vary by about 20 stacks in either direction depending on exact regen values because idk there's probably some rounding errors happening in there somewhere
might be a bug on console, I don't have any issues with it. Make sure you don't use weapon that give spirits, just unequip your weapon when using demon form
i was interested until i saw the the bug interaction to make it work, i really don’t think anyone should be running a build solely based on abusing an unintended interaction.
I Typically agree with this view. Its important to spread builds like this because the game is in early access. Thats how devs catch bugs like this. Just imagine if the big never gets fixed and made it all the way to launch. As great for the build its still a big.
Read more replies, it was definitely not allocating passives to both weapon slots. Still able to slot clarity, but ended up dropping Max Life reserved for ES, and changing it for Spirit because the markets were mean.

I actually made a witch infernalist 2 days ago and finished up your build. I then did some research into Impending Doom and its interactions with skill tree stuff as well as scaling. Here's some of the improvements I made (imo) at least on the offensive side of the build.

Impending doom procs off of Spell Cascade canceling out the initial placement of the curse. I also just didn't feel like the small increase in effectiveness of curses (on unique bosses its something like 3% increase) was useful.
Instead those skill points were put into Invocated Efficiency and all the Triggered Spell damage nodes on the way. This is because Impending Doom is actually a triggered spell! Wow Woah Damage Scaling Go High! If you invest into all the Triggered Spell nodes near the main paths of the current skill tree you can get up to 169% increased damage on all the mechanics of this build. The Cast on Ignite skills and the Impending Doom damage. This also helps with mana sustain due to the 3% mana return.
Other than the changes above I just invested a little more into mana regeneration to sustain my burst during bossing.
Thanks so much for giving me the idea to run this build!
Added on, if the helmet is fixed, do you think we kinda are forced to spec into the infinite self damage on ES with 90% fire resistance into self healing with flask loop build? It kinda seems to be the only way to sustain like we are now if the helmet interaction is gone. Hopefully HOPEFULLY they just make it a feature and let demon form enjoyers enjoy their builds lol.

Hey Lazy,
I discovered your channel recently, inventive builds, ingenious use of POE 2 mechanics, great explainations and quality video. I really like your content and I can only encourage you to keep going.
Here is my 2 cents of thought because I love this build and I would like to see it works perfectly post nerf. I think the interaction between Mask and Demon form is powerful and can't be ignored. Since it is % of life regen, we don't care about to be at 200 HP pool with Mask. With a little bit of basic math, you can quickly see that with 6000 ES you will be kick out of demon form at 600 stacks which is huge. With 8000 ES it will be at 800 stacks. So that means that you can go with a 3000 HP pool for example and remove flat regen stat from gear. May be combination with high HP pool and mana with MoM would do it in term of survivability. I don't have the time to check my idea so I share it here.
Thanks for sharing.
I would like to point out that you do take 0.5 % life damage per demon flame stack. So i.e: 6000 hp and at 10 stacks, you would take 300 damage per second, and therefore not sustainable. Hence we want to keep our hp low.
There’s another variant that go with high hp and reli on life recoup to sustain high stacks but the playstyle is not comfortable so I didn’t want to go into that yet.
@@LazyExile yep, sorry for the bad advice, i was thinking that Mask gives 0.05% of life per second per max ES, I just read it correctly and saw that it is 0.05 HP...
I've been playing your build a lot on the weekend I have to say I really love it!
Glad you enjoy it! And now it's safe til the next balance patch
@@LazyExile Do you have any recommendations what we can wear instead of the mask of the stitched demon? The bug will unfortunately be nerfed :(
you made exactly what i wanted to play with this ascendancy the first day of EA and was not able to build, thank you, buid 10/10 and good explanation too
Enjoy!
@@LazyExile do you have some tips for upgrades from this build, i've bought the ghostwrithe with 61% corvesion
like going further with heavier investment? it's actually quite budget, you can invest in better resist gear and run 2x ming's heart (+ life catalyst)
Yooo, legend for showing the best way to try and craft the life regen jewels.
no problem! 😊
Was watching someone do this with blood mage. This is perfect for both. Thank you for the video
thanks for watching!
Pretty cool idea with the "From Nothing Diamond", never seen it in other guides!
I've optimized my Demon form build for a clear speed, but i may need to use this trick, once the helmet bug gets fixed.
Or well, technically it is not the helmet, since you can replace all the items once u get the shield and hp u need.
yea, it'll cost a bit more but the concept is still the same. Without it though we might have to be a bit squisher
@@LazyExile yea, i'm not an expert, but it seems like the high regen is like an immunity against chaos damage, which has been really nice to have.
yes dot based doesn't do much to us so that's really cool
You convinced me to switch to my boots that give max resistance and no speed. Thank you
Demon flap/dash ftw
@@LazyExile what the best way to level this build from the start?
@@LazyExileon god
I leveled with my alt leveling build xD pillar of cage god
thanks alot this build is a blast please make another vid once u get better gear / ideas !!
thanks, will try 😊
thanks for the build guides!
you're welcome!
Hale heart is really good. Great build
Thanks!
Will you be updating the build post patch?
I'll take a look yes
@Lazy Exile did you have a plan b for this build after the snapshot fix? you did mention being forced into another buld if helmet gets fixed
I'll get to that after the Siege Cascade video yep
@@LazyExile looking forward to that!
thank you for another build i want now try :)
let's go 😆
This upload will make me 30 minutes late for bed 😵. Very excited to see what you've been cooking 😈
GM! 😅
Hey Lazy, thanks for your inspiration on having fun with the demon form. The maintaining of lifereg and energy shield is what i have been searching for. Since i started a char from the scratch i fell in love with a variant that is enjoyable before the curses hit hard enough. For all fellow twinkers try Fireball with wildshards, unleash and scattershot as soon as you can wear the helmet to have tons of fun and aoe. Have to admit, your CPU/GPU might hate me for that tip. btw - how do you best maintain the mana needed for the Impending doom - i am falling low on mana quite quickly... Ty in advance fro your answer and keep the good work up
so there's a few thing:
- Enfeeble should be level 3
- Try to have your tree like me and grab all the mana, reduce mana cost, mana regen
- Have bigger pool of mana from gears
- Get a good mana flask (with more mana recover taken from 15% life mod)
That's all I'm doing
Wait this helmet is insane... i palyed a self ignite build before and never had enough life regen to keep more than 160 stacks bcs of it.. with this helmet, it should be able to play the ignite build again and keep it up to 300+ stacks pretty easy...
yea the interaction (which is a bug I think?) is insane
Sheesh another build dropped
Lets goo
Fantastic build and video! Thank you for putting this together! Lvl 79 so far and haven't died since entering maps and making the swap. Hopefully the interaction with Demon Form snapshotting doesn't go away!
it'll probably go away, but question is how soon, and can GGG compensate xD
@@LazyExile Thankfully I've got a backup Witchhunter that is 100% ethical and has zero strange interactions.
will there be any new updates to this build since the last poe interview ggg said that demon form should actually be able to hold weapon, and there is a bugg that's preventing it. if this does happen, will there be any new updates to the build to make it stronger?
PS: IM ENJOYING THE BUILD
I'll test it out, but the spirit as damage combo is quite potent from what I can see
Good find with the helmet! Did not know that. I'll try to incorporate it to my build, maybe replace one of unique rings with rare to cover resistances lost from helmet, ooooor does demon form snapshot resistances as well :D.
However this looks entirely based on a bug, snapshoting might get unexpectedly fixed. I will not sell stuff from my 200-250 stacks demon build, if switching to this, just in case :D
it's cool. Idk why is it design like that in the first place though, but yea, use it while you can
What about a leveling guide? I know you’ve done the really awesome leveling guides using the pillar of the cage God but what about leveling it as a regular build for league start?
for league start, infernalist minion SRS seems like the way to go. I did not level with it though
Patch 0.1.1 - "Fixed a snapshotting issue with Energy Shield when using the Mask of the Stitched Demon Unique as an Infernalist." - This version is nerfed
Demon witch is dead
can you make a new version?
_1-min-summary_
⭕️ *Overview*
The transcript details a powerful and innovative build in a gaming context, utilizing "demon form" for enhanced damage, mobility, and defensive capabilities. The focus is on maximizing "Impending Doom" with efficient resource management and unique item interactions.
⭕️ *Key Features of the Build*
1. *Demon Form Mechanics*
- Transforms the character into a demon, granting increased spell damage, speed, and mobility.
- Gains stacks of "demon flame," boosting damage up to 2,000% at higher stack levels.
2. *Optimal Health Management*
- Maintain life near 200 HP to minimize damage taken from demon flame stacks.
- Emphasis on high life regeneration through gear and skills.
3. *Skill and Damage Setup*
- Uses "Impending Doom" triggered by expiring curses for significant AoE damage.
- Combines "Spell Cascade," "Burning Inscription," and "Comet" for high single-target and AoE damage.
- Cast-on-ignite effects trigger multiple comets for burst damage.
4. *Defensive Layers*
- Casts "Enfeeble" and "Temporal Chains" to reduce enemy damage and slow their movement.
- Achieves over 12K energy shield using unique gear like "Mask of the Stitch Demon."
- Energy shield also converts into life regeneration, boosting survivability.
5. *Unique Item Interactions*
- "Mask of the Stitch Demon" enhances life regen through energy shield but requires strategic equipping in demon form.
- Additional gear focuses on life regen, mana scaling, and elemental resistances.
⭕️ *Itemization*
- Prioritize life regeneration stats on amulets, rings, boots, and jewels.
- Use corrupted gear with enhanced life regeneration rates for efficiency.
- "Grim Fist" doubles energy shield for tankiness.
⭕️ *Skill Tree and Passive Allocation*
- Focus on energy shield, curse effect, and mana recovery nodes.
- Use jewels like "From Nothing" to unlock specific passives for enhanced regeneration and sustainability.
- Avoid direct damage scaling on the tree, relying on demon form's innate damage boost.
⭕️ *Gameplay Loop*
1. Enter demon form and equip "Mask of the Stitch Demon."
2. Gradually ramp up demon flame stacks while clearing mobs.
3. Utilize skills like "Impending Doom" and "Comet" for massive damage output.
4. Maintain mana and life regen for sustained performance during maps and boss fights.
⭕️ *Pros and Cons*
*Pros:*
- Extremely tanky with high damage output.
- Scales well for both mapping and bossing.
- Innovative mechanics offer a unique playstyle.
*Cons:*
- Limited mobility compared to other builds.
- Requires precise gear management and setup.
- Slower start during maps until stacks ramp up.
⭕️ *Final Thoughts*
This build is described as beginner-friendly yet scalable, with budget options available. It showcases a strong combination of survivability and damage, capable of handling challenging game content with ease.
thanks for the summary! Happy New Year! 😊
How are you able to put up very detailed and expertly edited videos and guides so fast?
I think my speed is slow xD
swap helm is patched, this build is over??
this version is done
Hey, thanks for the video. Did the fix the issue with the feathered Tiara because I removed it, then I turned to demon form, then Iequippedp my helmet, but I lost all my energy shield
yep, it's fixed, I'll get to another version after my Siege Cascade video
Hello there, nice vid. How do u manage all of those spirit requirement for the blasphemy skill?
blasphemy with 20% quality have 10% reduce reservation, make sure you use gemcutter prism on it
Hello Lazy, thank you for your demon build and i do have some question about skill. can you suggest the remain skills slot for Lightning Warp, Ball Lightning and
Eye of Winter? and what do you think about hexblast replace temporal chain? Also except Enfeeble ....should i level up all the skills to max because i saw in your video some are lower level
Love u Lazy
every skill should be max beside enfeeble yes. Also this setup is different from hexblast setup which is already quite popular
i slotted the from nothing jewel Bulwark, it doesnt seem to activate the passives of hale heart and the other passives around it?
I'm running to watch!
😤😤 be careful not to trip
Is the from nothing jewel manditory for the build? What are the best ascendancy nodes to take? Is this build a better map and breach clear than minions?I can't find any jewels with life regen on the market...
uh, its not really mandatory since you can allocate those to your amulet i believe? i pick Titan heart or whatever but that would add 20% Life regen rate only when im moving so there's that.
Also for regen rate jewel, you can just filter item type jewel and stat filter #% life regen rate no?
@@vince77-z27 ok thanks! I am going to slap together the build today. I am sick of my minions getting stuck in doors... lol Thx!
@@adamrandall5735 yeah thats me too lmao, all you need to start this build is just the unique cloth, then life regen in every piece, then jewel 👍🏻
- from nothing is very strong (life recovery rate is premium stats so Hale Heart is good)
- I covered the ascendancies, but because reserved life doesn't count, you can just take Loyal Hellhound and it might be better
- I don't compare build, I play it for the style and making stuff works. Minions are over saturated and is strong so it's probably better at everything and will also be expensive.
Zealot's Oath is kind of a trap when u reach higher stacks, because ES is all the defense u have and when you reach high stacks and you're barely covering the demonflame costs, you will have no recharge and almost no ES regen which means you will die in difficult content guaranteed.
We kill a lot of enemy and will sustain with Grim Feast instead, I kinda covered this.
Zealot's Oath is good in the early because you're more susceptible to die at lower stacks than when you're killing everything at higher stacks 😊
that "From Nothing" jewel with "Unwavering Stance" perk, is that so rare that there isnt a single one in the trade market? Or do I search for something wrong?
Use the link in my video description
I can't use "Cast on Ignite" even though I have enough spirit and attributes, do you know what it could be?
can you check if your attributes might be from the set skill points? or if comet is not binded to demonform (you can check by socket comet in the skill gem slot to check)?
just gotta hope it never gets nerfed.
too bad it will, but eventually it'll be better when the game is fix
TY!!!!! Can you start impending Doom as soon as you get your first ascendancy? THX again!
yes, for this case you can, but you need to hit certain life regen breakpoint like I mentioned to feels good
Hey nice guide, i transitioned to demon form at level 34 and was able to make it work just using the impending doom. This build is really broken and will be nerfed to the ground. Do you have any alternative item build so we can continue this demon form after the nerf?
well we can look into EB and MoM but I don't think it will be quite the same
how did you find the node numbers for the trade set to get that specific jewel?
link in the description. You need to look at the PassiveSkillsHash's number and input that into trade
Nice one. I love You Lazy.
thanks 😊
The ES with mask off and on feels like a clear bug. Would this build be viable without the ES with mask working as intended? Mana pool will always be much smaller than a grim feast ES. MoM build feels very vulnerable to being 1shot
@@cykwon75 yea its going to be tough, you can work toward pyromantic pact build
Hey, whats your favourite build actually? Like personally strongest one? which would also work on HC.
I have only play 2 builds so I can't say lol. Demonform is fun but without the helmet snapshot big things, it's not that safe for HC
So the unique helmet is a must have for survivability?
for this version yes
@Lazy Exile, how do you get so many comets to spawn? Ignite takes forever to stack it seems, even with impetus. Was this nerfed? If not, how do you know if comet is available in demon form? Thanks in advance.
so the ignited ground scales with spell damage, which means you get more ignite magnitude at higher stacks, and will drop comet more often
Bro why is it that every build I play has a weird item interaction and gets fixed. First my Warrior with the "unscaleable" Cultist Hammer AoE that indeed scales, now the helmet. I play a hexblast build with a totally different try, but the fact I went from negative resistance cruel act 3 -> T15 Maps in less than 40 Ex is bonkers. I love Demonform.
the game is in EA, so it's healthy to play and share stuff so dev can patch things. There are certainly a lot more things going to get fix and balance so eventually we can have a balance game to play
Hello again @LazyExile, I played the entore day with you build and its real fun ! I just have another question… i am having BIG trouble getting to high life regen. It may be because i have no jewels yet and no %regen life on my belt but will it really boost it up to 1000+ ? I have my doubts that’s why I’m asking (also don’t have the hale hearts nodes). But yeah I can sustain until like 200 demon flame stacks now and its really fun already !
you answer the question yourself:
- Hale Heart is good because it's life recovery rate not life regeneration rate (they have big different)
- Jewels plays a big part, this is why we have so many jewels on the tree
- flat regen adds up
- Corruption on helmet and ghostwrithe is BIG
@ i see i see, thank you you have been bery helpful your build and vid made my gaming experience miles better :)
Any tip for doing the ascendancy 4th? And level recommendation?
doing it with demon form? I think it might be buggy from what I've heard...
if you really want to try it, then around level 80+ should be fine
Yes seksmth one (honor) trial is bugged on 4th floor, game always crashes at boss fight because of some afterimage resource missing for demon form.
Only option is to go Trial of Chaos. Hopefully not buggy, haven't tried yet.
In any case, i'm lvl 89 and not missing those last two ascendancy nodes - they aren't any really good options for demon form after that.
Hi Lazy we re waiting for you 😂
😅 I'll get to this soon!
Jesus christo this is an amazing build guide. I guess 15% of 1800 and 20% ignite of 1800 isn't too much. You might be able to fit archmage in there but no way you can keep blasphemy up and archmage doesn't trigger on dots.
with archmage proc on every impending doom hits, we can't sustain the mana
Hey just wanted to ask if this build can be run with any skills or really only works with the ones you listed ? Because I personally LOVE Flame Blast but I also want to be able to do huge damage to bosses in one go which Im not so sure about. Also are the demon flames infinite or will you someday lose your life and return back ? Cause infinite sounds very good ;)
It should! Flame blast + solar orb is good too
@LazyExile Do you think other passives would be better than to focus on a curse heavy build as you do ? Or should I copy your skill tree entirely ?
curse is for defensive, and if you want to chill a bit more when mapping like me, it's recommended
Hm I see, thank you very much for your help well deserved like and follow
haha thanks! ^^
Hi Lazy, what do you think about not using the helmet, since I think it's a bug, instead using 2 Ming rings, obviously I know I'm not going to get to 600 stacks but it's okay I guess.
the helmet is mandatory for higher stacks, I guess it doesn't hurt to use it now. But if you want to use another version, you can run normal ES helmet and go with 2 ming's heart
Ugh, this is going to be a really hard one to get around the nerf with 😢
Honestly, the build looks great! But I'm gonna avoid this since it involves a bug that'll most likely be patched soon 😭
it will, but if you like demon form, just play this right now it's the strongest version, and if it's patched, there's always another way
Is inspiration what makes the comets happen so often? Mine won’t cast
basically, you'll see it more often at higher stacks, and against rare/boss because they stack faster
thanks for responding to this. I’m going to subscribe
Awesome build! Why would it be that when I reach 200 stacks I start losing life?
you are missing life regen
So, the ascension nodes aren't shown on mobalytics. Are you taking Beidats Gaze and Beidats Hand?
like my pinned comments, and in the video, it's very flexible depends on what you need tbh. After demonform, and Altered Flesh, you could take any of the recommended ascendancy nodes. I'm currently playing with Loyal Hellhound and Beidat's Hand
Hello, i wonder where the +6 level modifier comes from on your comet ! nice build keep on going
it's from the demon form
@@LazyExile I see, rn i'm at 1k1 life regen I go like 500 stacks but i still struggle on boss map i got only 1k4 mana and my mana regen sucks i'll try to improve more the build
you should look into your CoC setup because you shouldn't struggle at 500 stacks honestly
Just a thought that might keep the build close to the way it is but maybe swap the helmet for The Devouring Diadem Wicker Tiara
Have you tried that setup out?
How do we get that much spirit? 30 for Grim, 60 for Cast on Ignite, 54 for Blasphemy is 144 total. Is a 44+ spirit necklace required? Clarity on top is another 10.
54 from amulet, thats it. You can drop clarity and make it 44
We are so cooked since they patched the helmet bug
for what's it worth, it was fun while it lasted
So whats the solution for the life im also stuck at 240 life regen which gets me like 230 stacks max , there has to be a build or something that buffs life regen like that helmet .
Hi, I just want to ask how'd you do a 1,000+ HP Regen?
I explained in the video about life regen, basically a combination of corrupted helmet, helmet snapshot, life regen jewels, Haleheart, flat life regen, etc.
It will snapshot a high ES helmet that you can swap with the mask.
yea that would make this even crazier xD
hey just want to ask how did you get 150 spirit coz im lacking spirit to enable 3 skills
I'm using an amulet with 54 spirits
How much weaker is this build if I already took the maximum life from campaign? I'm just using my infernalist I had before to try this out but idk how much weaker it will be
Its not that bad. If you got good items you can still push for 600+ stacks. The ghostwrithe corruption is very strong
I'm running a non stiched demon version with spark / frostwall, mom and grim feast. I have just upgraded to 2x 27% less life mings and I have a 61% ghostwrithe, I'm currently at 216 (or 212 if I take out 2 quality of life red supports) life and 200 is the hard cap, which I've seen people reach with no campaign buffs. So for me personally I can run around 6-8% less stacks than I could on a new character, idk how the math checks out on higher life versions like this build but I assume it can't be worse.
In conclusion, if your infernalist is through campaign already don't bother making a new one. All of this could get nerfed at any time.
Just as I got excited to run this, they fix the helmet interaction. Womp womp.
well, it was meant to be. But they kinda nerfed all the stuff i play with this upcoming patch
Hey @LazyExile, me again. How do you advise getting the from nothing diamond with the right allocated skill ? I can’t find it on the trading site (because it only shows the first 100 results) and can’t find the right allocated skill with it.
check out the link to trade site in the video description
@@LazyExile ok you really thought of everything thank you so much !!
Does it help if Mask of the stitched has high energy shield stat or has 20 % Quality? or is it snapshotted to the other helmet ?
it's mainly there for the life regen per ES line, if you really want to push it higher, have a really high ES helmet when you transform, and swap with stitched demon after you turn into demon form
hello which FROM NOTHING DIAMOND JEWELL passive have u took ? I mean i only fund some like can go near Ancestral Bondor avatar of fire ..
I mentioned in the video: Unwavering Stance and Bulwark. There's trade link to find the jewels in the video's description
@@LazyExile ty sry my english is not in point
Can I use any weapon and shield just to increase stats, spell levels or something like that or they dont even count in demon form?
they get disabled so they don't count
Could you clarify on how you have enough spirit for everything without taking the Ascendency spirit from health reservation?
I have 54 spirits on my amulet and that's enough to fit all the auras
@@LazyExile -1 Divine, thanks :')
I'm gonna build this as i've made a new infernalist witch to play with my friend.
sounds cool! have fun
For anyone wondering : without the bugged mask you can also stack around 200 stacks . My setup is not ideal either , spent 20 EX and started using it at lvl 50. Right now I am speedrunning to lvl 70. lets see when I reach my limits ……
without it, you can run EB and MoM, glass cannon but can reach higher than 200 stacks for sure
how does the build fair against t4 xesht or the arbiter of ash?
this version can, but after the nerf, you're going to have to invest a lot more into the build to do those bosses
im trying to level into this build, but I can't put together a good build that can eventually morph into this. I've seen firewall/raging spirits builds but that looks so boring.
I currently have a chaos build that uses contagion and essence drain with enfeeble + doom blast along with unearth and bone cage for some front line/defense. It's very good at clearing mobs, but my boss fights are atrocious. Do you have any suggestions to help me?
level it like a spark mage.
sorry I don't play that archetype so I don't know. If you're using demonform though, just get higher stacks and it might scales up the damage to be enough for bossing
Hi there! I really love your build
I try to duplicate your build but have the problem
i melt boss in short time yes. but the clear speed it really bad.....
am i doing anything wrong?
I don't really have any problem with clearing honestly, most white mobs die from 1 tap of impending doom at 100+ stacks, and rare melts from being hit by comet
@@LazyExile it feel like Curse circle Impending Doom it not hit the monster sometime and not have enough DMG (even i got the Zone of Control passive)
and it gain little few energy and COI not trigger but the BOSS not have this problem (Lv18 COI and i have tried to pick Dynamim and Anergis passive)
It shouldn't happens at higher stacks like I said, but also some people just dislike using spell cascade so you could technically use something like Arcane Tempo instead
If the helmet gets fixed I wonder if you just use the 2 rings + ingenuity, I got my health down to 70 and with only 210 life regen Im able to maintain 600 stacks of demon form, I havent seen many other people trying this for some reason
This is theory only. It shows u havent tried it. Demon form cant get lower than 1hp. So 200 hp vs 70hp dont make diff. The degen at the same rate. 200 hp is the cap
yep 200 hp is the minimum, you always take 1 damage per stack in demon form
When can you effectively switch to this? I really dislike leveling as minions :(
The truth is, I playtest/swap right at level 65, but I also have all the gears, and jewels ready so I can maintain 300+ stacks then. My recommendation is at least at 2 ascendancy, good enough gears and make the switch as soon as you can.
@LazyExile Thanks
how do this build work after the patch? with the fix to the helm.
I made a video about it
@@LazyExile thanks i look for it! gl and hf in PoE 2 :D
I have one question : Why is your Energy Shield charging with this Helmet ? Cuz mine isnt.
I discussed on how to do this in the video
@@LazyExile i watched twice but couldnt understand. Could you explain please?
@@kaankalay8254 Human Form -> Demon Form, it snapshots your energy shield. Put on helm, gain mass life regen while still having an energy shield. Then the passive node on the far left makes it so excess life regen is applied to ES, but ES doesn't recharge normally. So you essentially have 700-1400 energy shield recharge constantly and not just after 4 seconds of not taking damage like normal.
yes, the step by step is you want to enter map in human form, take off the helmet, then see if your ES start regening, then turn into demonform and put the helmet back on
Hey how u got the hashes ? i wanna find me some life gems :D
the hashes are all there on PoEDB, you just need to search for the mod (for example Unwavering Stance)
Can I ask what item filter do u use?
I was using CDR filter in this video, but I have now switch to my own custom filter based on Neversink. I'll share the details soon!
@ please do!
Do I need 4 gem sockets for enfeeble to work? I tried with 3 and don’t do much dmg at all. Can I use flamablity instead? And what jewel stats do u suggest it use? @lazyexile
flamability should be fine, you need 4 link for this to work because burning inscription help drop comet. Jewels stats are noted in the mobalytic guide
@@LazyExile THanks for the reply! For crafting the jewel i jsut apply the essence on the blue jewel and then that them all to the reforge station and gamble?
Im not doing enough damage with my impending doom until i reach about 60-70 stacks.
Does this mean I just need to stack more maximum mana for it to do damage?
I'm at 1100 mana and im having trouble clearing T8 under 60 stacks
we scale damage with stacks, so under 60 stacks is nothing as we want to go for 300+ stacks. Generally around the 100 marks you shouldn't have any problem clearing (+ more mana is better so try to get those mana roll on your gear)
Hey, i love your build, but How can you activate All buffs / skills? I have to get 160 spirit with All the gemmes. How Do you Do this with 154 spirit? ;)
blasphemy with 20% quality will have lower spirit requirements
@@LazyExile now it works :) ty! .. I have also a prob with the half full life. My life is allready at 100%. Dont know How to get it to 50%like you xD
it's life reserved, but it doesn't really work with demon form, check my pinned comment
when I put on the helmet, the entire energy shield disappears, but you have it in your video, how can I fix this?
you need to do it like how I explain because demonform snap shot. You need to take off the helmet before turning into demon form
I’d there a way I can do this with fire skills? I’d love to see if it’s possible and how the passive tree would change
You can, flameblast should works, hust have to figure it out
Ok what happens when this snapshot from demon mask gets fixed in the next patch?
we'll fix it with other methods
How would you use the From Nothing Diamond to get all the life regen nodes at the bottom
You socketed the jewel, then you can allocate the passive points. Link to the jewel are in the video description
I read that reserved life doesn't lower the amount of HP that is drained because it's still considered total HP, which the degen is based off of.
Is this true?
Great video, excited to get enough exalts on HC !
is that true? then it’s kinda crazy that i got to 650+ stacks with 400 hp xD
@@LazyExile yes, reserved life doesn't affect the % maximum life drain from demon form, you have
1.4k regen per second, demon form is 0.5% of max hp drained per stack = 1400/411 * 200 = ~681 stacks of demon form before your life begins dropping
however GGG has screwed up the maths somewhere along the way so it can vary by about 20 stacks in either direction depending on exact regen values because idk there's probably some rounding errors happening in there somewhere
I guess I can push 1000+ stacks if this is true with another Ming's Heart and Ghostwrithe corrupted
What about life regen rate? How effective is it?
Would it increase the value of flat life regen?
life regen rate is premium stats, I'm not sure where do you get it beside hale heart
Do you know why I cant use gream feast on demon form.. it looks active but no spirit reserved e non things Spawning.. can you help me?
might be a bug on console, I don't have any issues with it. Make sure you don't use weapon that give spirits, just unequip your weapon when using demon form
Did they patch it because I'm not keeping my energy shield
the patch is live, and it's fixed
fire resistance affects demon flame DOT?
It should, but at higher stacks, you wont feel it
I thought i was the only one running this kind of setup
how is it working out for you 😊
i was interested until i saw the the bug interaction to make it work, i really don’t think anyone should be running a build solely based on abusing an unintended interaction.
I Typically agree with this view. Its important to spread builds like this because the game is in early access. Thats how devs catch bugs like this. Just imagine if the big never gets fixed and made it all the way to launch. As great for the build its still a big.
I actually run a different version, but I'll do that when it get patched. For now, just enjoy perma demon form
Was this nerfed already? My Spirit passives get unallocated while in Demon Form, or am I missing a detail?
Read more replies, it was definitely not allocating passives to both weapon slots. Still able to slot clarity, but ended up dropping Max Life reserved for ES, and changing it for Spirit because the markets were mean.
adapt and improvise :D also I think it's buggy for some people, didn't happened to me
