Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Burst Damage
  • Epic to play
  • Very tanky
  • AOE could be bigger
  • Strong, but not highest pit push

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

  1. Metamorphosis: Destruction Demon
    Activate this first and keep it up, stack it by killing your own demons..
  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.

I've noticed that in neither your leveling build nor this endgame build is there any mention of which Prime Evil to use?! Is it Hatred, Destruction or which one?

I have this build setup but i don't understand why we are taking Rune Charged. None of our skills are recast skills so this shouldn't affect our damage.

Sorry, but I have to ask a quick question too. I’m currently running the setup with the Hellfire Torch and two charms. I really like using my mythical Stone of Jordan charm and definitely want to keep that one. I’d be super grateful for some quick advice: What should I do with the Sigil skill points now? Should I keep them, or do you have better ideas for where to put them? Do we use sigil still? Also any recommendations on what the second charm should be alongside the Stone of Jordan? Thanks from Germany

It gets you kills which heals you, and passively activates to trigger Moloch.

I might be blind and am just not seeing it, but how are we applying vulnerable damage in the specs ither than midgame? I see the midgame has splinter of the mother which applies vulnerable, but the higher specs don't have that splinter. Just curious as to why we'd keep vulnerable damage on molochs.

Basically the infernal homunculus focus applies the profane sentinel "lesser demon vulnerability". It automatically activates a node on your skill tree that will automatically give you infinite vulnerable application by just using blazing scream. No catch or special interaction.

Thats why the item is OP.
