Demon Form Infernalist 200 stacks (no flask) Cast on Ignite Comet Build
Quick shoutout to vagaqt for the idea. His thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1halz6a/demon_form_infernalist_cast_on_ignite_comet/
I am however making a much more offence heavy version.
Overview:
Idea is reducing max life, stacking flat life regen and increased life regen on the tree + from jewels to get as many Demon form stacks as possible before having to reset.
Gear (**You can't have life or strength on any of your gear):
Body - Ghostwrithe
Rings - 2x Ming's Heart
Gloves - resists
Helmet, belt, amulet, boots - max rank flat regen + resists
**Amulet can be Eye of Chayula but it is 50ex atm
Tree:
Taking all the Inc Life Regen nodes + jewel sockets and buying 15% inc life regen jewels.
Important nodes (path through jewel sockets to both bottom left and top right):
Heavy Buffer (10% reduced max life)
Eternal Youth (allows life flask to restore ES) - combined with Pyromantic pact this will solve all our mana because we need to heal the damage to ES Pyromantic pact does to us.
Zealot's Oath - synergizes with our regen and Eternal Youth.
Hale Heart - 15% increased recovery
I will make a tree in planner later cause don't have gold to respec fully yet.
Ascendancy:
Demon Form, Pyromantic Pact
Gems:
Cast on Ignite - Comet - Spell Echo - Impetus
Flame Wall - Fortress - Spell Cascade - Arcane Tempo
Solar Orb - Arcane Surge - Magnified Effect
Incinerate - Mobility - Searing Flame
Demon Form - Second Wind
Grim Feast
Playstyle:
- Spam Flame Wall, use Solar orb on bigger targets and Incinerate on stationary/stunned (by comet) targets.
- reset demon form on 200 stacks
- use life flask to mitigate damage to your ES that you take from Pyromantic Pact (this is what we need Eternal Youth for). The combination fully solves mana.
Comments
It looks awesome, however, they just released a patch makes Ignite-Comet is no longer as powerful, or at least not as frequently effective as before. Do you have any ideas?
Awesome concept. But they put out a hot fix today to make it minimum 1life lost per stack. That would kill this, right? You aren't getting 200/sec from flat and Eternal Youth, are you?
edit: actually, maybe that doesn't matter. 100 stacks is 50% of life, which is already over 100 life/sec. I don't know
How much flat life do you have on your gear total?
Looking forward to seeing some footage!
But at what cost? Demon form barely stronger than a +6 staff after 30 seconds and it might be op after 100 seconds but it takes your whole gear and passives tree to sustain
2K es seems horrible in mapping too
Do you find the build to be squishy? It seems like ailments would be a big problem with the low hp and chaos dmg as well.
Am i missing sth. or is Eternal Youth a trap? Eternal Youth states: "Life recharges instead of Energy Shield". Since the Life Loss from Demonflame stacks keeps interrupting the recharge timer, all that stacked flat health regen is gonna be useless no?
Also since minimum dmg per stack is gonna be 1 hp per tick --> 200 life regen/ max hp is gonna be the cap
Looks great, did you start using Demon form right away after first ascendancy?
How do you proc COI now after the nerfs?
