PoE2 Blood Mage PORCUPINE build showcase

[@S2Hgaming]

crazy build ngl. like it

[@fire22233]

The teleport comes from stealing the Shroud Walker mod which teleports you using the Smoke Mine skill (which doesn't exist in PoE2 but I assume it's the same thing under the hood).

[@jalengibbs5403]

The TP is from HH, this happened to me a lot in Poe 1 doing harby, it’s crazy annoying sometimes lol 🤣

[@LuvLetter]

its legit so annoying and I was really confused lmao

[@YakultLitro]

Ohh clever use of cascade

[@systylion6662]

Hello! Build look cool and i will try your build :D Can u make a written guide? Maxroll? :)

[@vaas-1500]

sick build! any chance of a mobalytics written version or maxroll planner?

[@LuvLetter]

hmm I might do that ty for the idea

[@LuvLetter]

maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/u5bdn0fk there you go

[@ZolotoyKrest]

Did you go over your amulet? or did i miss it? also what's the annoint?

[@LuvLetter]

oh fuck yeah I missed it sorry about that. It's the same as in my previous video tho (I didnt do this to farm clicks I swear 🙏)

[@ZolotoyKrest]

@@LuvLetter np haha also i can't seem to get anywhere near your damage? i have very similar equipment yet my tooltip is only at 26k vs yours of 55k. I feel like I have decent jewels too. I'm just so confused on why the gap is so big. I am missing 1 skill level, 28 vs your 29 but it still shouldn't be that huge of a difference.

[@LuvLetter]

@@ZolotoyKrest probably a bunch of things adding up like the jewel level, maybe some differences in the passive tree etc. For example I noticed that increased cast speed is always a huge dps increase. Also do you have 6 link bonecage?

[@ZolotoyKrest]

@@LuvLetter I'm up to 34k but still so far away from your 55k. I have the same gem level now, 29. I have good jewels and even a decent time lost jewel. The tree is the same as yours. Quality on gems. 6l bonecage. 31% and 34% cast speed on rings. I am missing cas speed on the shield though and my weapon is slightly worse. I suppose those are why. Question, is it worth buying a GG weapon if the base isn't a bone wand? I know you talked about using boneblast on bosses, no life cost, etc.. but in theory late game when min/max, bonestorm should be better? and it shouldn't matter on the base of the wand?

[@LuvLetter]

@@ZolotoyKrest yeah I mean I think the best setups are either bone blast for clear + bone storm for bosses or bone cage + bone storm, so in the latter you dont really need a bone wand. It's a bit of a preference thing as well ig the good thing about bone blast bonestorm setup is that you can run mind over matter tho since bb is free and bs will have lifetap

[@JetcannonM]

Isn't there a support gem that makes your Nova ability cast on your cursor location? like the Astral Projector Ring from PoE1. Maybe casting Bone Cage that way if it works will create a more comfortable playstyle and with enough cast speed allowing you to continuously nuke targets further away like bosses. "Astral Projection" Support Skill Gem: "Supports Nova Skills, causing those Skills to take place at the targeted location when used instead of around you." "Supported Skills Cast at the targeted location instead of around you. Supported Skills have 35% less Area of Effect"

[@LuvLetter]

I have experiemented with this a while ago but you are right, with this setup it might be worth to check out again. If I use something like concentrated casting with astral projection and spell cascade the aoe might be small enough to tripple hit bosses. But for map clearing I really enjoy the set up as it is right now

[@JetcannonM]

@@LuvLetter yeah I was thinking primarily for bossing if cast speed is high you can maybe get the bones to "shotgun" in one place very fast overlapping doing huge dmg. gl

[@Bear_T3K]

Great Video mate! sick build been looking to do some bone stuff! How did you level this build? Can you just go bone skills from the start?

[@LuvLetter]

Yeah I did just go bone skills from the start but I also had some skelli bros for quite some time to tank for me while I clear with Bone Storm. I guess you could do it either way

[@maxd.9237]

why don't you use the armor reducing curse?

[@LuvLetter]

I get that through the passive tree and armor doesnt go below 0. I used to use it but I one or two shot everything anyways and yeah the passive tree thing takes care of bosses armor

[@LUIZ91665]

you can take out grim feast for bossing and use something like sacrifice + some of the cheap minions to get 50% ~100% more damage for 10 seconds

[@LuvLetter]

well its jsut 30 spirit so I could summon one skeli warrior that I could offer. It would be a bit more convenient than weapon swapping for sure but ideally Id offer 2 skelis with danse macabre for more damage

[@tartinitrumpet]

even though you one-hit mobs, is it pinning them? Could you run combat frenzy and generate frenzy charges?

[@LuvLetter]

Im not sure if they count as pinned if they are one shot but I don't really see the point of generating frenzy charges in this build? I could convert them into skill speed I guess but it would take too much dex and I'm already running a lot of int for my spells and put the rest into str to gain life (and energy shield thanks to atziris disdain)

[@tartinitrumpet]

@@LuvLetter You're close to the Frenzy to Power charges passive. With power charges, you get aoe explosions on Bone Storm.

[@LuvLetter]

@@tartinitrumpet I have more aoe with bone cage tho and its more convenient to use to clear packs anyway

[@junelua00]

what about eye of winter on cast on crit

[@LuvLetter]

cast on crit costs 100 spirit so its not really worth

[@dsamples333]

Did you level with this or respec to it. Been thinkin about doing some sort of minionless bone witch.

[@LuvLetter]

I mostly levelled with a few skelli warriors to tank and Bone Storm but I'm pretty sure you could level with this as well

[@LMEthan]

Interesting changes, is it a bug that you have 3 charms with only 1 on belt? like if you equip 3 while you have a 3 belt then unequip do they still work?

[@LuvLetter]

Nah sadly they dont work I just havent taken them out yet haha

[@Mack_the_Knife]

23:10 Not even close
