Build Overview

This is a WIP Guide / Concept that still has some minor flaws.
A proper Build Guide will come on Monday/Tuesday

The Curse Caster Blood Mage utilizes all the new Curse Toys to combine them into one super satisfying Build.

  • Liminal Coil turns our Curses into sources of Extra Damage. As for both Physical and Chaos
  • Repulsion is a new Runic Curse for +60% Damage as Extra
  • Doedre's Undoing got mini-reworked to spawn an Onslaught of Toads, which explode upon touching!

Liminal Coil also comes with a built-in Skill called Coiling Bolts, which is, in my opinion, the best Caster Skill in all of PoE 2. It fires a single Chaos & Physical Projectile at an Enemy, which then splits into 8 Projectiles( 4 Physical and 4 Chaos) that each chain whenever hitting a Cursed Enemy until nothing is left standing. Imagine Spark, but every Hit is guaranteed after the first! And to top it off, the Skill costs 0 Mana and can be spammed forever.

Applying 4 Curses automatically on everything on-screen with a huge Blasphemy and using Doedre's Undoing on Bosses to spawn a barrage of exploding Toads for perfect Damage Up Time.

Also doable as Crit Version (still in testing) with a Absent Amulet (Cast on Critical)

Known Bug

Having Repulsion in Blasphemy causes it only applies Repulsion when entering new Zones or leveling up. Simply double-right-click(disable, re-enable) Blasphemy or un- and resocket Repulsion to fix for that Zone.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Satisfying Screenwide Clear
  • 0 Mana Issues
  • 1 Button Clear
  • Simple Boss Rotation
  • Tanky
  • Somewhat Expensive to start
  • Very Expensive to Min Max

Build Variants

This Variant relies soley on Liminal Coil and Doedre's Undoing for Damage.

It is the pure Curse Variant for the flavour gameplay.

I have spent ~150 Divines on this Variant.

    1. Huge Flat Life Gain for Surv & Damage (Rathpith Globe)
  6. Vitality Siphon
    1. Big Surv Boost and 'Mana' Sustain, as our Curses cost Life to use
  8. Sunder the Flesh
    1. more than doubling our Crit Chance!

Passive Tree Notes

The Tree of this Variant is Level 92 and still a work in Progress. I started playing this build at Level 80. Lowest Priority Nodes are

  • Invocated Efficiency
  • Potent Incantation
  • far Right Jewel Socket next to Struck ThroughLowest

We use Eldritch Battery + Mind Over Matter to convert our Energy Shield into Mana and use it as Survivability.

We use Life as our Casting Resource instead, as we can more easily sustain it via Vitality Siphon and Life Remnants

%Energy Shield does NOTHING for the Build.

Use Weapon Set 2 Points for Skill Effect Duration, Cooldown Recovery, and AoE that is to far out to use efficiently. We only use WS 2 for Sigil of Power

Use Weapon Set 1 for Crit and Damage Nodes with no Attribute gain.

Jewels

Prism of Belief (+2-3 Level of Despair)

Heart of the Well with any combination of Damage as Extra, Crit Chance and Crit Multi

Rare Sapphire or Diamond with

  • Critical Hit Chance and Curse AoE

Spam Coiling Bolts on Boss to kill.
