I just started messing about with a Witch build. I haven't set up a second weapon set yet, but I'm all about swapping out summons based on what I'm doing. I do it now semi-manually so I can use Snipers during boss fights and arsonists for trash.
a good use for weapon swap, its great thats there so many different things you can do with it, even if its just to swap your dodge roll for a blink, swap elements or minion builds. even spec for projectiol damage for one and aoe for others etc, really enjoying trying to so many things out, glad to hear it m8 :)
Ngl I'm soo disappointed in the lack of minion support in these ascendencys that I'm LITERALLY going gemling legionair for the in general skill gems buffs.....
Yeah i saw in a interview jonathan said they were trying to stay away from a pure minion Ascendancy but hopefully with the nodes we havnt seen from the witch maybe both the bloodmage and infernalist could make some spicy minion builds
Having a minion ascendancy is a trap though. That means minions will feel underpowered if not using it. It's better to balance minions for everyone and let ascendancies compliment your build.
boss fights that dont spawn minions will be a problem we need to overcome as a bloodmages, i have been thinking in ways to do this and making a short video on the subject
You can spawn life orbs via critical hits. So stacking crit chance will be vital for this. It doesn’t say that in the ascendancy menu, but rather the life remnant skill itself in the skills menu.
@@youtubeclue indeed u can and with the Freezing Shards + inevitable crit + unleash add some crit nodes from the passive getting a life remnant nearly every time i use the spell point blank on boss's ^^
@@matejbosela9093 It still costs you HP which might prove problematic on bosses since you wont get remnants.... Your hp will be way lower than you would have against mapping, and on top of that the boss damage, you might get to the crucial point of getting one shot by a boss if they dont spawn mobs
blood magic is a key stone on the passive tree located on the western edge, tho testing it ingame it requires double the amount of life to cast spells so i wouldnt bother grabing it till u've got some meaty regen and life leech, so wait till u hit endgame
after 2 seconds of not casting the infernal flame decreases so its gona be a juggle spamming some spells then waiting for it to drop down i think tho not 100% till i can test it for myself

Looking forward in trying to set up no minions (of just few for sacrifice skills, maybe a dog) demon form build.
yeah i think the dog will just be a nice tool for mitigation even on non minion builds
blood mage with blood magic and a shi-ton of regen. this is my first char. i don't even know if i'll go the spell route. might use a sword and shield
Good Video @Hexstiera I wish we had more info about life leech for poe2
indeed but alteast its only 5 days till we get in and start seeing this stuff ourselves :)

Hope bosses spawn adds so Bloodmage does not get violated in boss fights.

I wonder if Blood mage will be even viable against bosses.
yeah its gona defiantly have a disadvantage against boss's that dont spawn minions
blood mage seems more like a caster archetype, especially Gore Spike would be basically enough for the damage to be viable.

@@nativbachar6074 10% leech notable
I wanna combine
Blood magic with quarterstaff/contagion
Suggestions?
Im sorry, where is the blood magic in the game? Like the blood-related spells n all? Do I need to actually accept the ascendancy first?

How do you stop infernal flame from hitting you then?
after 2 seconds of not casting the infernal flame decreases so its gona be a juggle spamming some spells then waiting for it to drop down i think tho not 100% till i can test it for myself
@Hexstiera yeah I think that's what I kind of thought too. Maybe you can cast some non-fire spells in between
Witch is crap 💩 lv 6 and minions skeletons disappear after the first summons and never reappear get a better class
Not for me?
