My Bonestorm/Reap Blood Mage starter for PoE 2 - A DAY TO DAY JOURNEY TO MAKE BLOOD MAGE GREAT

Great build!
But I have one question: what level of combat frenzy are you planning to use? 12lvl needs about 90+ dex

I kind of had the same idea but more straight bone mage. I currently am trying out infernalist because of demon form and want to try to make it sustainable while using bonestorm as a bossing spell and unearth as a minion generating / clearing spell. I built towards pure phys damage and buffed as much bonus damage as possible thru effects such as bonus damage when ignited, bonus when ailment, bonus if crit recently.
My reasoning is that each shard has its own chance to crit so on a boss you are hitting him anywhere from 10-15 times with bonestorm so it has a high chance to crit. Same with Unearth on packs so you are almost 100% crit time, ignited enemies ect. It also gives me some leeway with packs as I have a buffer minion army between me and my enemy and I can utilize the bonus effects of + minion to grant unearth greater levels. + spell adds to both unearth and bonestorm which is awesome. Since demonform grants a free +4 to +8 depending on level that feels pretty rad.

I am curious what your damage looks like given your build vs mine right now?
I am ascendancy 2 and level 55~. Bonestorm in game says about 700 dps minus crits / the effects of bonus damage during ailments. Its level 14 (+1)
Unearth is 16 (+3) and says 563 dps.
Hope to get some feedback on how well my build is going comparatively as we have similar taste in skills.

I did think of doing a blood mage but I thought the effects were rather lack-luster for the benefit. Yeah you can double up your HP but so what? If you aren't doing any extra damage I thought it wasn't going to really help me, but I am also very unfamiliar with the game as a whole and am kind of feeling it out as I go trying new things and seeing what happens.
Anyways let me know what your build compares to mine relatively? If yours is better I might switch but the time is a bit excessive for me at this point as I have spent so long and am still not into maps. I do feel rather tanky and beat most bosses in 1 try, the ones I don't usually kill me with BS 1 shot mechanics that are nearly impossible to dodge.

hi, is there any assembly on the bone? Is there some kind of playable build with a lot of damage? I searched everything and didn’t find anything, I’m a newbie, maybe I don’t understand something, could you send it to me? I really want to play with dice, but I feel like the build with dice is not working

just wanted to share some gameplay just got to maps so i recorded one clear

dmg can go up with dmg inc% after crit.
