Build Variants

This is the same setup that I cleared Rank 2 Tower on the PTR. Nothing got changed, so the build stays as-is.

Key Items

Elegy is the most important item in the build.
It is a unique sword.
Gives you the Skull Splitter variant of Blazing Scream for free.
This season it also makes your smaller Blazing Screams deal increased damage, just like the main one.

This version is built around killing your own demons.

Put Sadistic Aspect on your boots if you can't get it on Amulet

Runes

The most important setup is Igni + Tir

That generates resources by killing your own demons.

Killing your own demons with Sadistic Aspect and Temerity is also how you heal.

Sadistic Aspect needs to be on your Amulet as a transfiguration. It's all your healing power.

Temerity is the second most important item.
Paired with Sadistic Aspect (which regenerates your life every time one of your demons is killed this season), it creates a massive barrier.

This build is all about killing your own demons.

Stat Priority

  • Critical Strike Damage
  • Vulnerable Damage
  • Maximum Life
  • Critical Strike Chance
  • Attack Speed

Where They Drop

  • Elegy: Lord Zir
  • Infernal Homunculus: Urivar
  • Stone of Jordan: Legacy Unique. Farm Waking Nightmare bosses and general endgame loot. No single target boss. Only use if you are dying.
  • The Eightfold Idol: The Beast in the Ice
  • Moloch's Beating Flame: The Butcher
  • Temerity: Harbinger of Hatred
  • Hand of Apotheosis: Bartuc (Infernal Hordes)
  • Enigma: Does not drop. Craft like in the video.
  • Leoric's Crown: Legacy Unique. Farm Waking Nightmare bosses and general endgame loot.
  • Sadistic Aspect: Extract it from a Legendary. Imprint it on boots.

Leoric's Crown is the seasonal item.
This is where you socket the best splinters for the season.
You can put Splinter of Anguish, Splinter of Pain, or Splinter of the Black Soulstone.

+7

I opted to run with the Beru of Abaddon's Flesh, set charm, which increases our damage but also increases our life. At the same time, the last passive set allows us to leave Metamorphosis form and still benefit from the buffs in case our HP gets drained too heavily.

For stats: Using maximum life and Hellfire skills ranks is a no-brainer in this build. Since we need to stack HP to increase our damage, that choice was pretty easy.

Skills and Rotation

  2. Bombardment: Endless Barrage
    Use this to stack your resource generation, by exploding your summoned demons.
  3. Blazing Scream: Orbital Scream
    Activate it and keep it going.
  4. Evade / Teleport
    Move around by pressing Evade to Teleport. Cast Bombardment: Endless Barrage while you teleport.

Use Dark Prison: Chain Aura on cooldown, it's a big defense boost.

Paragon Board

Glyphs & Paragon

For glyphs and Paragon, you can take any legendary nodes that increase your damage.

Don’t spend too much time trying to fully complete one board. Just prioritize grabbing your legendary nodes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why am I losing HP randomly?

Wendigo Brand is bugged, you can change it for Hellbent Commander Aspect if it bothers you.


Q: What items are necessary for the build to function?


A: Elegy is required. It gives you the Skull Splitter variant of Blazing Scream for free and makes the smaller screams deal increased damage.
Temerity is required. Combined with Sadistic Aspect, it creates the barrier that protects you from Metamorphosis burn.

Q: Why can’t I survive inside my Metamorphosis?


A: Destruction Demon burns you every time you cast a skill. Without a strong barrier, that burn will kill you.
Temerity + Sadistic Aspect creates the barrier. Burning damage and DoTs deal less damage to barriers. That barrier is what lets you stay alive while Metamorphosis is active.

Q: I am dying a lot. What am I doing wrong and what could I improve?


A: Most of the time this happens because the barrier is missing or weak. Make sure you have Temerity and Sadistic Aspect so the barrier forms when your demons die.
Also check these:

  • Stack max life — it is one of the three most important stats.
  • Make sure Sadistic Aspect is on your Amulet as a transfig.

Q: I don’t have many Paragon points yet. What should I prioritize?

A: Focus on rushing all the legendary nodes first and skip the glyphs for now. This lets you unlock the biggest power spikes from the Paragon board early. You can go back and fill in the glyphs once you have more points available.

In the starter variant what is the purpose of having points in sigil if we have no way to trigger it. Am I missing something or was that a mistake

What's the purpose of Rampage in this build? The guide never says where to use it

Started running this last night and I'm curious where vulnerable status is intended to come from? I see vuln damage is high prio affix, but I can't see how we're expecting to apply that.

WorthyFlower•4d ago

I ripped this from a Google Search:


Infernal Homunculus provides vulnerability to Blazing Scream by automatically activating all Lesser Demon Upgrades associated with Archfiend skills, including the Profane Sentinel upgrade which grants Vulnerable.

To make this interaction work, the build typically uses Elegy to transform Blazing Scream into an Archfiend Skill. Once Blazing Scream is an Archfiend skill, casting it triggers Infernal Homunculus’s unique effect, which grants the Profane Sentinel's Vulnerable node for free with a 200% longer duration. This allows ranged Blazing Scream builds to apply Vulnerable without needing melee contact or other specific skill synergies.

You can't wear more than 1 "crafted' mythic. Meaning you can only wear 1 mythic that was up cycled from a regular unique

the off hand and wepaon make no sense please explain how to and what the 4 for loot filter is. example off hand

weapon speed

willpower

ranks to Demonology

critical strike damage multiplier double greater affix

critical strike chance

tempering critical strike chance double greater affix


i know i can search for an item with 4 and use temper to add a 5th

but if im useing temper to get the critical strike chance up how can i use it to add one of the others like speed


so do i search loot table for speed, will, ranks, crit dmg multi and use the termper to get the chance?

At the top it says Weapon speed, it's not a stat brother, it's where the base weapon speed of the weapon should be indicated. For example 1.2 atk per second on a dagger etc.

I guess they haven't added the weapon speed of each weapons yet.
