Build Overview

This Infernalist can handle all content with a breeze! Thanks to the ability to use Bind Spectre we can summon ourselves an insane army to do our bidding!

This variant of the build aims to get the most bang for our bucks in terms of summoning Spectres while also having a high Energy Shield Total!

The idea to play this build came to me from a viewer named DakiniMage and they originally directed me to Ghazzy and his variation of it which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGGfkW1oIXw.

Daniki provided us with their pob and they are able to clear all content in the game with this character

This variation on the other hand starts to push the limits of the amount of ants while still maintaining that tanky feeling. Currently this variation has 11 Ant Bind Spectre and can push to 12 or more with higher investment.

How to begin playing this build


To begin you need to head on over to the Interlude and goto the Ashen Field from there you will encounter a rare ant minion named a Frozen Mandibles. You will kill this (NOTE IF YOU EXPLODE THE CORPSE THIS WILL NOT WORK) and then you will cast Bind Spectre on the corpse and you will be able to now summon your Ant Army.

Once you have your Ant Spectre you are going to want to get your infernalist to about level 80-85 you really need to be wearing all the gear to make this play style feel smooth. Some people have suggested you could start this build earlier and it will be just fine but I personally didnt enjoy it until I had all my gear on.

For leveling this build you can approach it one of two ways. You can go Essence Drain Contagion and level this way until you get to the interludes and obtain the minion or you can use a twink leveling system with Whirling Slash and Twister from this guide here:

Either way once you level the character and have the specter you are good to go!

The more spirit you have the biggest army you have!

The goal is to have the following once leveled:

1 Skeletal Cleric

1 Skeletal Sniper

1 Skeletal Reaver

1 Skeletal Storm Mage

1 Skeletal Brute

1 Skeletal Frost Mage

AS MANY FROZEN MANDIBLES AS YOU CAN SUMMON!

Once you have all of this any left over spirit will be used to summon as many Skeletal Cleric and Skeletal Storm Mage as you can. I personally like having 2-3 Skeletal Cleric to keep my minions alive.

Now that we have any Army we are basically a walking forward simulator who can click loot.

The way this army works is as follows:

We use Infernal Legion III to set all of our minions on fire and kill the entire screen. We use Skeletal Cleric to keep our minions alive.

Since we are using Muster support on our Bind Spectre we want to make sure we have as many different REVIVING MINION types as possible allowing us to maximize the damage gained from muster. Because of this since we use a large army they all come with special features.

Skeletal Cleric - Used to heal your minions

1 Skeletal Sniper - Used to apply Blind Debuff

1 Skeletal Reaver - Used to break armor and provide more damage

1 Skeletal Storm Mage - Used to shock enemies

1 Skeletal Brute - Used to warcry and provide more damage

1 Skeletal Frost Mage - Used to freeze enemies and provide a frost shield

Since we have a large army doing its part to apply debuffs and damage gained we can also apply Wither with all of our minions from the passive tree and giving all of our minions extra chaos damage using the various support gem from the Uber Boss. We use Tul's Stillness on our Skeletal Frost Mage to freeze and chaos. We use Esh's Radiance on our Skeletal Storm Mage to provide us with shock and chaos. We use Uul-Netol's Embrace on our Bind Spectre to provide us with Break Armour and Physical and Chaos damage!

All of our minions except the Skeletal Cleric will have Infernal Legion III to deal damage. The Skeletal Cleric will have Brutus' Brain so they do not die. We dont need them to do damage we just need them to live!

YOU WANT AS MUCH SPIRIT AS POSSIBLE EVERYWHERE!

Spirit + Minion levels is the big bread and butter of this build! More Minion Levels = More Damage! More Spirit = More Minions!

For your Darkness Enthroned you really dont need above a 100%

For your Bones of Ullr 30% increased reservation efficiency of skills is what to aim for! Anything more is extra

For your 2 Ventor's Gamble make sure you aim for as high as spirit as possible with good resistances! If you can fit in a good positive or negative rarity (depending on what you aiming for farm) then you can do that. But Spirit is the most important thing!

On your weapon you really only care about as much minion levels as possible and spirit!

Your chest plate you want to have Spirit and as high of Energy shield as possible!

The amulet you want Spirit and Minion levels! Anything else is extra! We will be anointing Warlord Leader

Helmet you want minion levels and resistances

Focus you want High Energy Shield and Minion Levels

Gloves you want as much energy shield as possible and resistances

NOTE ON THE HELMET AND BODY ARMOUR YOU CAN OBTAIN THE FOLLOWING MOD:

INCREASED SPIRIT RESERVATION EFFICIENCY OF SKILLS

This mod is obtained via desecration this is a nice mod to have an absolutely not needed. It can be very costly to get these rolls on your item.
