[@xCookieSlayer]

I’ve been actually following your build guide and proceeded to do this exact same thing prior to this video releasing haha, glad to see my choices were good!

[@SovereignRPG]

Awesome. It works so well :D

[@itsrainingyou]

I have a noob question. I notice the written guide shows 4 supports on your Hellhound. I currently have 2 supports and a lesser jeweler's orb that seems to not want to unlock my 3rd. Support slot for this skill. What am I doing wrong? It doesn't function like regular skill gems for me.

[@SovereignRPG]

@itsrainingyou you right click the lesser for the 3rd slot and click it onto the skill when that panel comes up. Like you would use an orb to upgrade gear and then you need a greater jewelers to get the 4th slot

[@itsrainingyou]

​@SovereignRPG that works for the other skills. I found out just now that the Hellhound opens them up organically with time/levels. Not jewelers orbs.

[@nick-0787]

Thanks man, finally a well explained video.

[@jacob01104]

Can’t wait to make this thanks man❤

[@SovereignRPG]

No problem 👍

[@ghengaskhan9650]

Do you just take str nodes to get the str to use your scepter?

[@dixieflatline1189]

Envy watching as a monk stuck in act2. Purple witch reroll incoming, but seeing what else the witch can do. This looks nice

[@randomized8900]

great guide dude ! going on same path and making fun

[@SovereignRPG]

Awesome thank you!

[@mlevesque33]

I'm saving this. If I end up not liking Stormweaver, I'll try this build.

[@Legion852]

on a side note there is an orange chest that gives 100 to spirit aswell..

[@Crowflake93]

Any passive mode that doesn't specifically mention minions, won't work on minions. So if you grab fire penetration, it will only apply to your Flame Wall, not your minion's fire damage. It's a bit silly but that's how it is - the best way to support them then would be Flammability Curse.

[@ivanseric1132]

Ok someone please explain to me. Does increased fire damage effect minion damage or does it only increase my fire damage?

[@griffbeeks5985]

how does this build have fire infusion on two different skill gems? you can't use more than one

[@lucarebecchi404]

I'm trying to add Fire Infusion support gem to Arsonist but the game don't let me do it because i have already the same support gem on Raging spirits. In your written build you have it , is that a mistake in the guide?

[@RedDroning]

What are your rec's for early game build that will transition well into this for endgame?

[@funnystranger3380]

Just copy what you can works just fine

[@HG-nc5ku]

full es gear or would armor/es gear be okay?

[@jasonhoule9920]

Which venom draught did you select for both act 3 and act 3 chaos?

[@Crowflake93]

Arcane Tempo could go on the clerics, I believe it makes them heal faster.

[@SovereignRPG]

Yea it can. But they are just not worth it if you can get more Arsonists out :)

[@stijntje10]

dude.. thx.. i did not know i didnt need a wand in main hand, i feel like such a noob

[@80Mrblueeyes]

Kan gebeuren

[@LubuLegend3]

Great guide . I currently play the gas bomb / Explode build its not that differnent as yours . Did you try that too :)

[@SovereignRPG]

@@LubuLegend3 I haven't tried that one yet! I do want to give it a go though haha

[@pepsislv4357]

why u put on moba Jagged Shard, but in video using Power of the dead?

[@JusticeEqualityTM76]

for attributes, do you add them all in intelligence ? sorry for stupid question

[@SovereignRPG]

I add an attribute depending on what I need. Some Support Gems need Dex some sceptres and armor need strength and skills/weapons/armor need intelligence. Just depending on what I needed to unlock certain pieces :)

[@goxoz7651]

would you still advise to use grim feast after latest patch?

[@SovereignRPG]

Yea you still get more than enough. They only took it away from killing your own summons. Was an exploit

[@dannybartlett4225]

is fire the strongest build have you played the other elements yet ?? eg lighting frost ect

[@MrBuns-yi2hk]

Cold is probably the strongest element right now, but you are really building for functionality. Raging Spirits does mostly fire damage, and it is probably the best minion currently.

[@ashera8748]

I play full fire blood witch. SRS does more damage than my entire build. With minimal investment. 40+ nodes in fire damage to make ember fusillade/flameburst combo to compete with 15 talent nodes in minion stuff. (Charge flame burst while waiting on fusillade to fire) Or, drop 2x fire wall and there's ya spirits, stay back done cast stay safe. State of balance is whack. Basically any spell available is beaten by spark and comet. With entirely fire investment, most of my clear comes from lightning warp which has zero investment. Tried full ignite magnitude, even worse, still doesn't proc ignite meta gem. Not a fan of minion builds, but it feels like the only thing that works for the top side of the tree. DoT effects are trash (chaos, ignite, bleed. Unsure about poison)

[@therabidsquirrelsage3388]

How do you get the flame wall to spwn the raging spirits? Mine just makes the fire wall on the ground.

[@MrBuns-yi2hk]

You have to socket in and activate the Summon Raging Spirits gem.

[@therabidsquirrelsage3388]

@MrBuns-yi2hk thank you sir.

[@Durion7]

Isnt fire a bad choice since nearly half of the bosses have fire and with that high fire resistant?

[@MrBuns-yi2hk]

There are ways to lower resistances through effects like fire exposure, and curses like flammability. Plus you have to play Summon Raging Spirits with fire skills.

[@joshuaritter7702]

Is this really better than archers now with the nerf?

[@SovereignRPG]

Still needs some testing. But Arsonists are still objectively better even with the changes.

[@firenzee9810]

This class is easy to play for newbie?

[@iron_cube6827]

is this build still okey? On mobalytics it says "This Build Is Outdated Now Since Grim Feast was Fixed" so i quess i need to change it to something, but i cant see newest build so i stick to it i quess 🤔

[@SovereignRPG]

Yes the builds still great for early game Maps. I updated the mobalytics

[@justinl190]

Did this get nerfed or do I just need more gear and to get better?

[@leomartin3059]

I'm doing act 4 and 5 atm with this build I've first try all bosses all including Geonor

[@gastontzartos1928]

where is the raging spirit? is it not a skill ? i cant find it... where should i look?

[@0nileren]

you unlock it using an uncut Spirit gem, they drop from a boss in act 1 but also random mobs in act 2, it will be a spirit skill you turn on

[@Equisdeification]

Great guide! I had a similar setup but trying different things I found out that having more skeleton arsonists (currently have 8) and using pain offering was a huge DPS increase

[@SovereignRPG]

Thank you! I was looking at Pain Offering. But I didnt feel it added all that much. I should do some more testing on it :D

[@fleeno7355]

@@SovereignRPG try using it with persistence,danse macabre and ablation,and target your skeletal warriors with it,it feels amazing on bosses

[@seannatusch1154]

sooo grim feast gone a well now?

[@SovereignRPG]

Its not gone just cannot be abused by stacking on your own minions

[@Viper52506]

Is this a post-nerf build?

[@SovereignRPG]

Yes it is

[@Viper52506]

@@SovereignRPG Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for earlier game? I have the abilities, but I don't have level 2 support gems yet.

Im going to use this as a blood mage. It should work still i think

[@TheZ990]

Read bloodmage nodes before, it will drain hp instead of mana cost

[@ajjboere]

@@TheZ990 i will, thank you!

[@naps7039]

Uniques arent as important as crafting your own OP rares man. Use those white base items to upgrade your gear. Uniques arent that great from what ive seen so far, some can change ur build or make it but most are usually lacking in any really important stats

[@felipeschuh9249]

Amaaazing video!! Nice!! But how can I add new sockets in "Summon Infernal Hound" Skill? i have only two and cant add another one with Lesser Jeweller's Orb ;/

[@Fiaw1]

This build will not be viable endgame. The second you start doing endgame maps you will get one shot by literally anything. You need min 3k+ hp along with multiple DR nodes.

[@tavirosu25]

True. Ghazzy's build provides better survavibility with MoM and few other nodes.

[@MrBuns-yi2hk]

I have no clue how you are supposed to get 3k hp in endgame without hight end gear and lots of strength nodes.

[@funnystranger3380]

He shows the gameplay works fine for me also

[@TheLastofUsLive]

I'm in endgame with 790 HP absolutely destroying things at high tiers😅 3k!? If anyone needs this much I'm afraid you may have put points in all the wrong places. I enjoyed most of this build through cruel but will warn this is a "set it and forget it" kind of build. It gets old. You can essentially just hold down flame wall and everything on screen is gone. You'll likely only die to one shots rarely.

[@angusmacrae2368]

Alright sov

[@theraamster]

… I just watched a video by Kripp. According to him, early tiers isnt end-game. High-tier maps is end-game, and judging by his comments, there is a vastly different set of strategies revolving around your character build for high tier maps. Even with huge focus on life, armor, evasion, damage mitigation, shield, block, infernal hound etc.. you can still get 1-shot there. Just a comment…

[@Crowflake93]

No offerings? Too tedious to keep up, I imagine?

[@SovereignRPG]

I use offerings now. But it was tedious until i saw the pure damage increase

[@TheNichq]

The one problem with the build is that its intended to do POE2 endgame.............which is probably one of the worst gaming experiences that currently exists.

[@mattdrifts]

What lmao go play fortnite bro

[@tomjanssens8018]

Only 3/6 acts are out this is no Endgame
