Build Overview

UPDATED BOSSING AFTER PATCH 0.1.1, STILL VIABLE, CHECK VIDEO FOR PINNACLE EXAMPLES AFTER PATCH ------->

MAIN BUILD GUIDE - https://youtu.be/CxhQ09FN14M

This Infernalist Build utilizes various tech to stay in Demon Form 100% of the time while getting up to 800-1000 Stacks of Demonflame for a huge Spell Damage bonus.

It also can Freeze everything with Ice Nova and Contagion with Chaotic Freeze which making mapping pretty easy and stack up to 9k+ Energy shield (18k+ with Grim Feast ).

Build can also clear all content while being relatively Cheap since we don't need to invest into any weapons because they are disabled in the Demon Form.

AFTER PATCH Gameplay + T4 Bosses + Build Guide video ---------->

Build will be Updated if more patches hit it.

Set 2

Equipment Priority

IMPORTANT - We need to AVOID Life at all items.

Weapon:

We cant use weapons, so just ignore it since you are in Demon Form 100% of the time.

Chest Armor:

Ghostwrithe is a great choice to lover MAX Health, try to get a corrupted one with higher % converted.

Runes should be Rarity or Resistances.

Helmet:

A good Rare with Life Regeneration + some Rarity and resistances is great for mapping.

Repick to the Mask of the Stitched Demon for Bossing (check Bossing version or video for more info).

Gloves:

Gloves will help you to cap resistances that you lack at other items.

Getting more Energy Shield and Mana should be a bonus if you can afford it but triple Resistances are almost always a must.

Boots:

At the boots we need some Movement speed and higher Energy Shield + Life Regeneration / resistances combo.

It is also a good way to pick some Rarity.

Amulet:

Amulet should provide Life Regeneration together with some resistances and perfectly spirit / % of Energy Shield.

Good Anoint Choices are Conservative Casting or Mental Toughness to improve mana situation, especially at bosses.

Rings:

We need to use x2 Ming's Heart for both damage and lowering our Maximum Health.

Use Life Catalyst on those to rise 20% less life to 24%. Some Corruptions with Skill Speed or Additional Damage is good too.

Jewels:

Going for Jewels, you need to Aim for Life Regeneration first and Area of Effect / Stun Threshold right after.

Try to get as many of those into the build as possible.

For Demon Form using Second Wind and Ingenuity is necessary to always have a charge UP when you are out of the form to immediately transform back.

Make sure you always have Blasphemy UP to cast Hexblast on nearby enemies.

Contagion with Chaotic Freeze is our MAIN SOURCE of Freeze, so use it on any tanky enough enemy to Freeze them.

For Hexblast replace Magnified Effect to Minion Pact when fighting bosses (mostly Pinnacles).

Grim Feast is mandatory for mapping, replace it to Withering Presence when bossing.

set 2:

DONT INVEST LAST ASCENDENCY POINTS - We don't need any of the available bonusses.

DROP Void IF YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH POINTS.

Pick as many Jewel sockets as possible and all Energy Shield Nodes around the path.

Hallowed is pretty important to fix the stun issue.

Heavy Buffer should improve the life regeneration situation while lowering max life so take it ASAP.

You can go for Full Recovery if you don't have the Jewels / Funds to buy them.

You can also invest into Entropy instead of the socket on the far left.

Living Death can be helpful for 2 points if your pet is dying to often.

For MANA ISSUES Conservative Casting as an Amulet anoint helps A LOT.

How it Plays

Activate Demon Form and dash around while hitting everything with Hexblast , use Ice Nova for additional CC and regenerate ES while picking up Grim Feast.
