Build Notes |

The 0.2.0 Patch for Path of Exile introduced a slew of nerfs, affecting the build directly. The nerfs to Barrier Invocation broke the interactions that the build previously relied on, effectively removing its viability.
The Pyromantic Pact
・Gain Infernal Flame instead of spending Mana for Skill costs
・Take Maximum Life and Energy Shield as Fire Damage when Infernal Flame reaches maximum
・Lose all Infernal Flame on reaching maximum Infernal Flame
・10% of Infernal Flame lost per second if none was gained in the past 2 seconds.
Currently, the build is limited to using only 10 stacks of Demon Form. While this limits the potential damage output for the build, it is more than sufficient for mapping.
Mastered Darkness
Since the build will be using the Demonic Possesion Ascendancy node to access Demon Form
This gives us +6 to all spell levels, which would otherwise be quite expensive to obtain since it requires the maximum roll for a weapon and an offhand.
List of Weapons
When setting up the build, maximize Fire Resistance first over the other elements, as we need to max it out as soon as possible to mitigate damage taken from Pyromantic Pact. Chaos Resistance comes second, and the other resistances should follow, but wouldn't require much investment thanks to Altered Flesh.
・20% of Lightning Damage taken as Fire Damage
・20% of Physical Damage taken as Chaos Damage
To ensure 100% uptime on Life Flask Usage, the Heavy Drinker passive needs to be annointed in the amulet. Since this build is a Flask Usage intensive setup, this keystone passive is required for this build.
Since the build revolves around triggering spells when targets are Ignited, getting two Blackflame Amethyst Rings for the Increased Ignite Magnitude is essential to this build.
The increased Ignite Magnitude from the ring increases the energy it generates when we Ignite targets, allowing us to reach the energy required to trigger Cast on Ignite much faster.
Equipment | Sockets |
---|---|
Armor |
The Soul Core of Puhuarte can be used alongside Greater Desert Runes to reach the Fire resistance cap as quickly as possible, and can be replaced with Greater Iron Runes to increase survivability once resistances are capped.
All Runes and Soul Cores | |

Since we will be using the Oasis passive, the use of charms will be disabled.
List of All Charms
※ The Support Gems' priority are arranged in a descending order. The first one being the most important and the last being the least crucial.
Skill | Support Gems |
---|---|
![]() Demon Form (12–25)% increased Cast Speed while in Demon Form;+(3–6) to Level of all Spell Skills while in Demon Form;Lose 0.5% of Life per second per Demonflame;Deal (7–18)% increased Spell damage per Demonflame
|
![]() Second Wind Supports skills with cooldowns, giving them extra uses of that cooldown. Cannot support instant or triggered skills.
|
![]() Cast on Ignite While active, gains Energy when you Ignite enemies and triggers socketed spells on reaching maximum Energy.
|
![]() Comet Calls down a mass of ice from the sky, dealing high damage at the targeted location. Targeting close to you will cause you to jump back as you cast.
![]() Concentrated Effect Supports any skill with an area of effect, causing that area to be smaller but any area damage it deals to be higher.
![]() Cold Exposure Supports any skill that hits enemies, causing it to deal less damage but inflict Cold Exposure when it Critically Hits an enemy.
|
![]() Cast on Ignite While active, gains Energy when you Ignite enemies and triggers socketed spells on reaching maximum Energy.
|
![]() Comet Calls down a mass of ice from the sky, dealing high damage at the targeted location. Targeting close to you will cause you to jump back as you cast.
![]() Elemental Focus Supports any skill that hits enemies, causing it to deal more Elemental Damage but be unable to inflict Elemental Ailments.
![]() Cold Penetration Supports any skill that Hits enemies, making those Hits Penetrate enemy Cold resistance.
|
![]() Cast on Ignite While active, gains Energy when you Ignite enemies and triggers socketed spells on reaching maximum Energy.
|
![]() Contagion Afflicts a single enemy with a Debuff that deals Chaos Damage over time. If the enemy dies while affected by contagion, it and all other Chaos Damage over time Debuffs spread to other enemies and refresh their durations. Reanimating or detonating a corpse affected by contagion will cause the Minion or explosion to spread Contagion on hit.
![]() Impetus Support Meta skills. Supported Skills generate Energy significantly faster.
![]() Energy Retention Supports Meta skills. Supported skills gain a chance to partially refund a portion of energy cost when triggering or invoking other skills.
|
![]() Flammability Curses all targets in an area after a short delay, lowering their Fire Resistance.
|
![]() Cursed Ground Supports Curse skills. supported skills no longer have an activation delay, instead creating areas which Curse enemies so long as they are within them.
![]() Concentrated Effect Supports any skill with an area of effect, causing that area to be smaller but any area damage it deals to be higher.
![]() Martial Tempo Supports Attacks, causing them to Attack faster.
|
![]() Solar Orb Creates a fiery Orb that periodically releases fiery pulses. Enemies that are very close to the Orb are Ignited.
|
![]() Searing Flame Supports any skill that hits enemies, causing inflicted Ignites to deal more damage but its hits to deal less damage.
![]() Fire Exposure Supports any skill that hits enemies, causing it to deal less damage but inflict Fire Exposure when it Ignites an enemy.
![]() Considered Casting Supports Spell skills that Hit Enemies, boosting Damage at the cost of Cast Speed.
![]() Overabundance Supports skills which can have a Limited number of effects active at once, increasing that Limit at the cost of their duration. Only applies to restrictions that use the word “Limit”.
|
![]() Alchemist's Boon While active, grants you Flask Charges passively and causes Life and Mana recovery from your Flasks to also apply to Allies in your presence.
|
- |
![]() Overwhelming Presence While active, enemies in your Presence are easier to Stun and inflict Elemental Ailments upon.
|
- |
Solar Orb will be the primary skill used to procc Ignite on targets, so Overabundance is taken to be able to use the skill twice, effectively doubling the chances of triggering Ignite, which works well with Overwhelming Presence.
For the Cast on Ignite skill itself, Comet is used because it is the strongest non-channeling spell currently available on its own, though it can be substituted with another non-channeling spell such as Arc or Fireball.

The Infernalist has a lot of Ascension nodes that make this build work. Beidat's Will allows the build to equip multiple Cast on Ignite skill gems and other notable passives that require Spirit. For spellcasting, Pyromantic Pact will be our main source of Energy generation instead of Mana.
For our passives, we will use a mix of spell damage, Life Recoup to sustain Demon Form, and improvements to our flask.

![]() Solar Orb Creates a fiery Orb that periodically releases fiery pulses. Enemies that are very close to the Orb are Ignited.
▶
![]() Cast on Ignite While active, gains Energy when you Ignite enemies and triggers socketed spells on reaching maximum Energy.
|
The rotation is very simple and would apply to all combat encounters.
Just remember to keep an eye on your energy shield and use Flasks when necessary. Since we will be using Eternal Youth, just use Flasks as needed to restore lost Energy Shield.
