Build Overview

Hey guys, I'm Lazy Exile.

This is my Infernalist Demon Form Impending Doom guide.

This character is a tanky all-rounder and will be able to run almost any contents given enough time as our damage scaling vector thanks for Demon Form.

If you have any questions, check out the FAQs by the end of this guide or watch my video.

EB & MoM version (cheaper than Ignite Loop): https://youtu.be/HrM_aJEN0zg

DISCLAIMER: POE 2 is a new game, and things might not be optimal as there is much to learn. I'll keep this build updated, so come back often and check if there are any changes. The changelog is at the bottom of this page.

If you want to see the build in action, look for Lazy Exile on YouTube.

Build Variants

Cast on Ignite Loop setup (fairly expensive)

  • Melting Maelstrom and all items budget around (20-30 divines)
  • Trade-off Blasphemy for Cast on Ignite and Elemental Invocation so you'll have to adopt the playstyle a bit
  • HIgher Risk with Higher Reward

  • Solar Amulet with implicit (10-15 spirit), prefix modifier can roll up to 50 spirit

  • Ghostwrithe can be corrupted for up to 61% of Maximum Life converted to Energy Shield
  • Melting Maelstrom is mandatory and is extremely strong for Mind Over Matter, and to help us sustain the cost of dropping so many Comet with the Ignite Loop

Comet Level

  • Keep your Comet at level 11 for mapping to easily sustain the mana cost and make mapping more comfortable
  • Swap to your highest level of Comet for Pinnacle bosses

Elemental Invocation

  • Always hold down, or use the numlock trick to auto-cast Elemental Invocation and sustain mana with Invocated Efficiency

Eye of Winter

  • Use it on boss to give Withered stacks and Critical Weakness

Ball Lightning & Lightning Warp

  • Cast Ball Lightning then cast Lightning Warp on it to create Shocked Ground, only for bosses

Flammability vs. Enfeeble vs. Hypothermia

  • Flammability does not increased energy or affected the ignite magnitude of spells, but it does increase ignited ground damage which helps with map clearing
  • Hypothermia can be use instead to make your comet deals more damage and will be better for bossing
  • Enfeeble is an option to save a lot of mana because it's a low level spell

How it Plays

How to play this build?

  • Use numlock trick for Elemental Invocation or make sure you hold the button down to spam it
  • The playstyle is to cast Flammability to create ignited ground and weave in a dodge roll to move around. Never stay still and cast. Keep practicing to weave in a cast while dodging.
  • Basically, it's one button playstyle, whenever you cast Flammability, Burning Inscription will creates Ignited Ground to start the loop and dropping tons of Comet
  • At higher Demon Form stacks, you'll drop even more Comet, and try to keep your mana at full all the time with Melting Maelstrom
