Weapons
Get a scepter that increases Spirit, Increased Level of All Minions Skills, and Increased Maximum Life for Minions.
A key gear item for the build is Enezun's Charge Volatile Wand. This wand provides a 25% chance of not destroying corpses when casting spells that would normally consume them like Detonate Dead. This allows you to reuse the same corpses for multiple explosions.
Another key piece of gear is Threaded Light Woven Focus, which provides Spell Damage per 10 Spirit, amplifying your damage as your Spirit pool increases.
This build features weapon sets depending on the situation:
- Weapon Set 1, equipped with Enezun's Charge Volatile Wand, is perfect for mobbing and clearing waves of enemies with ease.
- For boss fights, swap to Weapon Set 2, where you’ll want to place your scepter as your primary weapon and equip Threaded Light Woven Focus as secondary.
Armor
Focus on gear with Spirit and Increased Level to All Minion Skills for scaling your minions' power. Ensure Elemental Resistances are capped at 75% for survivability. Look for bonuses to Energy Shield, HP, and Increased Rarity of Items Found to enhance your durability and loot drops. Don't overlook Increased Movement Speed on boots to maintain mobility!

This Blood Mage build focuses on Detonate Dead spell, utilizing its explosive corpse damage for efficient area clearing. Keeping the Detonate Dead gem at Level 7 minimizes mana cost without reducing its effectiveness, as damage scales with corpse life, not gem level. Slotting Ambush in lets you one-shot bosses, while Magnified Effect boosts its AoE for even larger explosions.
Additionally, you can swap Considered Casting for Magnified Effect when fighting bosses.
For minions, aim for 4 Skeletal Brutes to deal heavy damage and take pressure off you, while 2 Skeletal Clerics keep them alive longer with healing and resurrection.
Soul Offering boosts your damage by impaling a Skeleton, granting a Spell Damage buff that further increases Detonate Dead's power. Grim Feast feeds on corpses to restore Energy Shield, and while active, it grants the chance for Grim Remnants to drop from killed enemies and your minions.
Lastly, Sacrifice allows you to use your minions as substitutes for corpses, enabling you to cast Detonate Corpse more frequently, even during boss fights when there are no corpses. Combined with the massive HP of your Skeletal Brutes, this makes your Detonate Corpse devastating to enemies.

For Weapon Set 1, go with Reverberation and Repulsion for bigger AoE, stronger spell damage, and knockback effect for mobbing.
