really helpful video to kind of get an idea of the build that i'm currently looking forward to, seeing some of what i should look for going into act 1 brutal. i've been debating a full chaos pivot off of chaos/minions for a bit but did well enough in the campaign to not do much with that yet. this is my first time playing a game like this so i'm surprised i got this far without respeccing but i'm thinking this might be the move for me. bit different as i took infernalist but i think i can still figure out a way to make it work all things considered. just gotta find some support gems because they have been few and far between for a good bit of act 3. thank you for the info and your explanations!
I wasn't keen on the blasphemy -25% so took out despair as I think it's better as a manual cast with impending doom and spell echo (replaced despair with enfeeble/vitality/heightened curse to negate the penalty). Subject to mana you can spam the despair/trigger blasts while contagion with hinders and chaos freeze holds them in place. What doesn't die from the initial trigger blasts gets finished off with a couple Hex blast. Will be following along and am interested to watch the build progress
Fair enough no such thing as a wrong build I hope you enjoy that playstyle for me my plan Later game when I have scaled my Crit Higher, I plan that one hex blast will kill any enemy in close range. :) we shall see how it works out haha... Thanks for your comment
This and so much this putting despair in blasphemy is such a disservice that’s all of your dmg, my despair is at 68% that’s with more effect and instant cast from the passive node I got also got infinite curse from blood mage makes it nutty for bosses, people love blowing the boss up I like watching die of AIDS
Thank you for this, been limping along on my bloodmage and feeling a bit at a loss with how to build it. Cant wait to get home from work and set up like this. Glad they reduced the respec costs just in time :D
Community has been asking for that for a while so nice of GGG to add it! Sure makes it much easier in the mid game to try things out before locking in for endgame! Let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions I will try help!
@LastOlie indeed, was getting worried every time I was aimlessly adding points knowing the respect costs were mounting for the inevitable respec 😂 Thank you kindly, I shall!
the only issue i think i'm finding is that for now putting two curses in blasphemy before getting the passive that allows more than 1 curse ends up not applying the chaos weakness all the time, sometimes only applying enfeeble and missing out on the -resistance debuff. would probably be better to just run blasphemy with despair until then maybe? the passive is whispers of doom. only just now found out about the 1 curse limit with both gems on, wondering why i wasn't seeing both debuffs being applied
It's great if you have all these skills, but if you don't, it's not worth trying until you can the despair, and blasphemy. Until then, you have to use minions.
Thankyou for this comment this is 100% correct If anyone sees this comment and is in that awkward stage I have two other videos which may help. ACT3 Build: ruclips.net/video/9I9EFf7mRrg/видео.htmlsi=HsLnvzIsKhWYOZhq ACT2 Build: ruclips.net/video/SHN4IAqiKDE/видео.htmlsi=zs6BZdZ2U1NlIuGj these should cover that transition into this when you can't get the higher-level skill gems. (The path I took)
I have a question about Dark Effigy, it only shoots on mobs with an chaos dot debuff? so only debuff i can see here with dot chaos is essence drain? so u must shoot an every mob? or what iam i missing here? despair isnt in tooltiip on dot chaos
I will elaborate on how Dark effigy works if you want more info about Hex Blast/Blasphemy interaction just let me know, Dark effigy is doing a lot for us, Its doing damage, Healing us and applying withering touch (Increasing other Chaos Damage) Here how it works: Withering Touch (Slotted Support Gem) Withering Touch provides the following effects: Withered last 4 seconds Supported Skills deal 30% less Damage Supported Skills have 25% chance to inflict Withered on Hit with Chaos Damage What is withered and why is it important: Withered grants a Debuff of 5% increased Chaos Damage taken. Withered stacks up to 10 times on the same target for a maximum of 50% increased Chaos Damage taken. Different Sources of Withered do not stack independently. We also slot Font of Blood as a support gem. Font of Blood provides the following effects: Fonts of Blood from Supported Skills grant 2% Life Regeneration per second to you and your Allies Objects created by Supported Skills create a Font of Blood with a 3 metere radius TLDR: For Hex Blast your popping curses which you are applying either manually or when you unlock blasphemy by being close to them.
Cant you only have 1 curse at an enemy at the same time right now. I dont see you have the double curse passive? Or am I wrong? I see you have 2 curses gemmed into blaphemy.
I'm interested on how you'll finish the build on Blood Mage. I change my mind last minute and went Infernalist. So I'm always in Demon Form, so I don't need weapons, and I'm just spamming Hexblast. Using Blasphemy with Despair Enfeeble. Packs apply Contagion first, bosses Contagion+Essence Drain so the totem builds up stacks of wither and Hexblast when those are all up. Controlled Destruction, Concentrated Blast, Inspiration for Support Gems in Hex. Just got to maps and the tool tip says 6000k DPS The Demon Form is so good, the movement is insane, I can't live without it. Anyways, great videos, keep it up
That is a very good path, I will smash through these acts as have some Annual leave coming up and post another video when I hit endgame, I have seen some awesome gameplay of Spell Crit Hex Blast on internalist with demon form. I Actually think Blood Mage is one of the weaker specs at the moment, but I have just got a feeling that some of the leach/scaling from gear may compliment it better late late game, will see.... I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks for checking this video out as well :)
How do you plan to survive , especially when u activate the stupid ass blood witch :D i have 4 ascendancy points into it and all i can get with it is 3 % life....soooo bad

Hi can i ask how to use blasphemy, i got "missing socketed skill" and i dont understand :(
@ you need to put despair or enfeeble into it, it applies the curse when you get near enemies
I have a question about Dark Effigy, it only shoots on mobs with an chaos dot debuff? so only debuff i can see here with dot chaos is essence drain? so u must shoot an every mob? or what iam i missing here? despair isnt in tooltiip on dot chaos
I will elaborate on how Dark effigy works if you want more info about Hex Blast/Blasphemy interaction just let me know, Dark effigy is doing a lot for us, Its doing damage, Healing us and applying withering touch (Increasing other Chaos Damage)
Here how it works:
Withering Touch (Slotted Support Gem)
Withering Touch provides the following effects:
Withered last 4 seconds
Supported Skills deal 30% less Damage
Supported Skills have 25% chance to inflict Withered on Hit with Chaos Damage
What is withered and why is it important:
Withered grants a Debuff of 5% increased Chaos Damage taken.
Withered stacks up to 10 times on the same target for a maximum of 50% increased Chaos Damage taken.
Different Sources of Withered do not stack independently.
We also slot Font of Blood as a support gem.
Font of Blood provides the following effects:
Fonts of Blood from Supported Skills grant 2% Life Regeneration per second to you and your Allies
Objects created by Supported Skills create a Font of Blood with a 3 metere radius
TLDR: For Hex Blast your popping curses which you are applying either manually or when you unlock blasphemy by being close to them.
@@LastOlie thanks for the explanation and your time, iam appreciate it

Or am I wrong?
I see you have 2 curses gemmed into blaphemy.
Do have a link to the written guide?
I'm interested on how you'll finish the build on Blood Mage. I change my mind last minute and went Infernalist.

@@LastOlie Infernalist I find it's not worth it to try to spec into crit, I think Blood Mage will have the upper hand late game. Good luck
How do you plan to survive , especially when u activate the stupid ass blood witch :D
i have 4 ascendancy points into it and all i can get with it is 3 % life....soooo bad
Where is the written build?
I am still fine tuning the written guide. (Bit busy at work today) But I will make sure its fully updated later: maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/yk1ud0yu
I really liked this build with minions, you chose to remove them ?
@@Davidtuao Yes just not viable with the way I am taking my passive tree, I recommend internalist if you are going minions build.
