Leveling Guide: Witch Infernalist Minion Army Summoner
|
Hello everyone!
I have made a leveling guide for the Witch with the Infernalist Ascendancy that focuses on minions. You can find the full guide here: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide With detailed steps on passive tree, skill gems and support gems. There is also an End Game gem setups and skill tree when you finish the Campaign. New: End Game planner https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/i9hfb03m New: End game guide is now up https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bombarding-minions-infernalist-build-guide Showcase video for the end game guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64aCfG9hxew Note: A patch changed the cost of Arsonists to be the same as Skeletal Storm Mages. This means around a 30% damage nerf (Loosing about 3 Arsonists in the end game version). This will mean noticeable less damage early in the campaign setup since we no longer will be able to use two when we get the gem. But when you get more Spirit and Flammability curse you should still be able to breeze through the campaign.

FYI: The recent SRS "Nerfs" is not relevant for this build.

I started following this last night through a new character and has been a breeze through act 1.
However because of the ordering of these 2 points in act 1 - Using a level 5 Uncut Skill Gem replace Essence Drain with Bonestorm.... - After defeating The King in the Mists around level 10-13 you get a Uncut Spirit Gem, with this you must get Raging Spirits,.... Since I was reading the guide in order as I was leveling, I didn't end up picking raging spirits because I got my spirit gem and used it before I was able to cut a level 5 skill gem (level 14). |

" Why not check the skill display menu to see which gem to pick or read a little further ahead to see what to pick with it? Anyway thanks for the feedback, I have now updated the order for the spirit gem to be before the Level 5 one. |

How is this build doing in endgame? I see this guide has endgame setups. I was playing a CoF build doing t10+ and just wondering if minion build is pretty solid endgame choice for me.

" Spicysushi streams a version of this build and at one point he was rank 27 on the ladder. He is using a CI version right now because he has very low chaos resistance on his gear but very high ES from very good gear. He is doing T15-16 corrupted waystones with 5-6 modifiers.

" Yup completely my fault, it was just easiest to follow the body text first. I did actually ctrl+f each of the witch spirit gems and saw Grim Feast as the only witch spirit gem needed so i picked that. Thanks for the quick update though! Last edited by necrosistc#1465 on Dec 12, 2024, 5:11:43 PM

I did what someone else recommended and use scattershot , magnified effect , martial temp and will use as 4th fire pen for arsonists as 3 bombs + aoe increase make all 3 bomb hit the boss which i think it might be better having 20% less speed and damage but x3
