[PoE2] Infernalist Demon Form not working with Spirit support gems

Would be really awesome if you guys could fix vitality and clarity ( and probably others as well ) not working in demon form. thanks =)

It looks like I’ve figured out how to make spirit support gems work in demonform. When shapeshifting into a demon, weapon set 2 effectively activates, which requires separate spirit allocation setup for your skills.

Here’s the step-by-step guide:

1. Open the skill window and the inventory window.
2. In the inventory window, select weapon set 2.
3. In the skill window, toggle off and then back on the spirit skill with its support gems. In my case, it’s Withering Presence with Vitality and Clarity.
4. Disable all unnecessary skills that consume spirit. It’s important that without any weapon slots, you still have enough spirit for the required skills. In my case: Withering Presence (30), Vitality (20), and Clarity (10). I removed all minions for weapon set 2, leaving me with 66 spirit.
5. Switch back to weapon set 1 and enable minions and any other spirit skills you want to use in human form.
6. Activate demonform and check the result (screenshot below). Upon deactivating demonform, the settings for weapon set 1 are restored.

Let me know if this works for you or if you’ve found any other tweaks!

I don't get it, you are showing supports linked to Withering Presence, but I understood the supports should work when linked to a Demon Form itself, which is not the case for me. Guess the bug was not yet fixed? That is a shame :(

same here every spell knocks be out of demonform wether i use support gems or not. it workeds yesterday, even before the patch. but somewhere yesterday it stopped working

Disclaimer to everyone…. U are reverting back because demon form gives your skills 5 levels. That increases the INT needed to use your spells. That was my problem. Still can’t despair to work. I’m sure I’ll figure it out: They don’t need to fix it. We need to get smarter lol

what? no, they at least need to let you know that this is what it is, if that´s what it is. also if that was how it´s supposed to work rather than, the advantage of using it IS just ignoring those requirements presicesly because you are in sayan mode now, then why use demon form anyway? i only ever used it for the last few percent of a boss. for clearing maps it´s useless since it burns through resources way too fast to be useful. so this would mean it becomes even less useless since nobody is setting up a built to make it work for alkmost no advantage.

Spirit gems like SRS and Grim Feast work when you activate them for both weapon sets (in the bind screen)

Thank you so much ! This is exactly it !!

The more you level you spells the more int or whatever stats they require.
As demon form swap out your weapons it's a good trick to go for the second inventory slot without weapons to know how much stats you have.

It fixed this form me and this is exactly the reason it was kicking me out of demon form !

Again, thank you so much

I really hope after the holidays they fix clarity and vitality so they work with Demon Form ._.
I can not believe this is a wanted behaviour that these two are not working.

Until you set it up, Demon Form seems to randomly pick the spirit gems which are turned on. To fix this open the skill menu > go into demon form > and then right click the spirit gems you want to turn on and off.

Doing this I got SRS to work.

While the Demon Form is amazing there are several UX issues.
1. While other spirit skills are active such as Raging Spirits and Grim Feast, you can not cast Demon Form. These skills need to be toggled off then back once in Demon From.
2. This persists when casting portals. When casting a portal you leave Demon Form. This means I need to open my skill menu and toggle off all my spirit skills then turn them back on once in am back in form. There is really no reason to leave Demon From when casting portals since the same is not true when using Waypoints.
3. +6 to all spell skills should apply to any skill gem. Giving up your main and off hand is a huge debuff and should be met with equal reward. When In Demon Form Spirit skills should also receive the +6 to their skills.

I am running a build that offsets the life loss with life regen per second to stay in this form all the time. I am having a lot of fun with it and would love to see these issues resolved.

p.s. I am a hovering demon. I should not be able to get boxed in so easily. Couldn't a flying demon just flap their wings and float over the enemies? Maybe introduce a racial skill for demon that allows the player to do like a winged back flip over enemies and you could even put it on a cool down. I mean what is point of having wings otherwise.

Thanks GGG
