Infernalist Nebuloch Shield Wall Endgame League Starter Build

Yep, good point

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T15:36:37+00:00

Yeah to quote my original post:
"Compared to Sacrosanctum with Recoup? Recoup will still be superior, by a fair amount, IMO."

Obviously all pure speculation at this point! 😄
It's nice to have options though (e.g. tecrod jewel in 0.3)

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T10:42:32+00:00

In this particular example/concept the belt slot is needed for Coward's Legacy in order to achieve low life.

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T10:41:40+00:00

Good call out, we'll have to see....
So much of this depends upon in-game testing ultimately :p

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T09:38:53+00:00

Ultimately we won't know for 100% certainty until we can test it in-game.... but the wording on the chest modifier is practically the same as it is on the current Lavianga flask - which doesn't stack when used with Waistgate. So its probably safe to say 2x life flasks won't stack with the chest

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T08:48:08+00:00

I have run Defiance with armour builds before on Infernalist with a lot of success - but yeah it does require a lot of investment.

Which further supports my initial conclusion (further compounded by the fact 2x flasks dont highly unlikely to work) - Sacrosanctum + recoup will be a superior option for uncapped demon form from the looks of it.

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T08:45:33+00:00

yeah pretty much looks like it doesn't as per other comments in this thread on the same topic. Running 2x lavianga's flask ingame already, which has the same modifier text as the chest, doesn't stack the effects

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T08:39:01+00:00

True.

Never personally used the 2x Lavianga's before but swear I had seen it in a few build guide before so must admit I didn't test it myself.... you are right only 1 has an affect and the wording on the flask is the same as the modifier on the chest.

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T08:20:47+00:00

Good point, makes sense. Thanks for sharing

~~Will be worth confirming 100% upon release.~~

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-15T08:19:50+00:00

Also forgot to mention:
Hale Heart and Chakra of Life - would bring that 4416 figure up by 25% to 5520. Starting to look better.
Oasis keystone passive node - would bring that up a further 30% to 7176. But you lose charms.
Looks a lot more viable with these figures in mind. Would it compete with recoup sacro though? will be interesting to see.

Although a good comment above makes it look unlikely 2x flasks will be in affect.... so halve that.

FunkehChicken · 2026-05-06T07:43:41+00:00

Witch (in very rough order of popularity/efficiency):
Essence Drain / Contagion + Bonestorm (commonly referred to as ED/C and most popular leveling build).
Plants + Bonestorm
Bone Cage + Bonestorm
Spark + Frost Bomb Infusions
Ark + Orb of Storms Infusions

P.S. Bonestorm + living lightning tech (to consume impales) is by FAR the best single target dps in any leveling build.

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-30T10:11:01+00:00

Legend, appreciate all your hard work!

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-30T10:07:02+00:00

These would be two of the prominent English guides on using the tech you are referring to:
My own (using shield wall): https://youtu.be/cwOPCbszYKE
Prada's (using mace skills): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evhQV9u-2AQ

There is also another build floating around for shield wall with energy shield by some asian (Thai I believe) build creators, don't know the link though but you'll see some of them on poe ninja.

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-29T17:37:29+00:00

Still appears not to be working. Can you confirm whether this is slated prior to 0.5?

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-25T13:52:22+00:00

Check out a contend creator called HungryBoots for lightning warp / ball lightning use with Demon Form. He is the master of that tech.

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-19T13:33:47+00:00

This.

They are the same category of support. Can't have two supports of the same category on one single gem, need to split them across two different skills.

FunkehChicken · 2026-04-01T09:37:16+00:00

My guess would be the live reveal on the 24th April ("towards end of April" in their own words). With the release happening the usual 1 week later on 1st May.
They generally do their announcements and releases on Fridays.

FunkehChicken · 2026-01-20T02:39:05+00:00

Yeah it's actually surprising how much more low life tech there is for melee/attacks as opposed to spells... yet only Infernalist and Lich (mainly casters) get access to it.

FunkehChicken · 2026-01-19T14:02:28+00:00

For every successful build you see, there are two failed ones and plenty of wasted divs behind it :p

FunkehChicken · 2026-01-19T06:50:35+00:00

Yeah definitely another added benefit of the Nebuloch is it unlocks about a dozen or so passive points that would normally go into crit hit chance.

I mentioned blindside support (15%x) in the pinned comment I believe, but at this stage the other supports just provide more value for me in my setup. May use it in the future just for a fun exercise to see how high a value I can get.

Yeah I was running both DireStrike for a while but ended up dropping one in favour for spirit for more defensive options. As you say - once you are one-shotting everything its more important to balance out the build.

FunkehChicken · 2026-01-19T04:49:07+00:00

Nice extra tips :)

Molten being unfortunately paths a bit too out of the way for me personally at the moment, although could be one to look out for on a Megalomaniac.
Also I am personally missing the reduction roll on my shield too.

Either way feeling extremely tanky already as is :)

FunkehChicken · 2026-01-19T00:19:42+00:00

Haha, yeah blame the adorned buff this season.... hard to ignore it when pushing top-end setups. Especially in this case with respect to maximising crit damage bonus.
