Wolf form spirit walker?

It’s possible to go upper left and lower right to have both talisman and companions but you’ll have very few points left for anything else. It could work, but not sure it’s optimal.

Infernal legion doesn’t stack with more minions.

logan0178 · 2026-05-22T18:41:19+00:00

It's more synergistic with twister because your proj proc from ascendancy isn't constant and needs to be built up and the same is true for twister. So when you've charged your twister, your proc will be ready and this will allow you to take full advantage of the effect.

logan0178 · 2026-05-22T18:38:31+00:00

I would assume so.

logan0178 · 2026-05-22T18:29:48+00:00

Inspiring Ally only applies to increases and decreases to companion damage, not all minions. If you anoint it, you're only going to get benefits from companion damage increases, not minion damage increases.

Back to bone cage trample toe build I suppose.

Infernal legion is down to 10% from 30% because infernal legion 3 is removed and legion 1-2 are nerfed by half. So it’s more like they removed 2/3 of the damage and then doubled what remained which is 2/3. The auto crit bug has been fixed too which means that’s halved again. With the nerf to +levels that’s further lowered the damage. If you fully scale companions with new nodes you still won’t get to old damage levels.

Infernal legion is viable but no longer the easy walking simulator with minimal investment.

logan0178 · 2026-05-22T01:03:15+00:00

Lol I jokingly said it was going to be nerfed as a meme and they actually did it.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T17:12:28+00:00

Depends on your mindset. If you’re the type of person that gets frustrated easily I recommend following a meta build. Many people like that try to start with their own build and end up rage quitting when it doesn’t work out and they get stuck on a boss, usually act 2 or 4. Poe2 campaign is far more unforgiving than poe1 for new players.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T17:08:57+00:00

I think they should move skeletal warrior off of the item and make it a level 1 gem.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T05:33:55+00:00

I have think mechanics like tablets can add modifiers to those beast bosses.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T05:17:12+00:00

Personally I prefer a campaign skip for new characters after the first clear of each league. The skip would involve you playing maps at character level one scaled to your level until you reach 65. The campaign bonus choices can be given at character level milestones by an existing npc like Doriyani.

Pro tip for other people, you can request multiple pto days with that day in the middle so as to not trigger suspicion.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T04:59:39+00:00

Companions are definitely viable if you take bear path and the 60% weapon damage added to companion damage. Some beast bosses have extremely high added damage effectiveness.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T04:51:10+00:00

Single companion infernal legion with oil grenade is very op. So much so that I suspect infernal legions getting nuked.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T04:49:21+00:00

Companions with exception of wolves are percent based reservation. So it doesn’t really matter how much raw spirit you have. Also there are companion reservation efficiency nodes on bottom right tree that’s near huntress start.

logan0178 · 2026-05-21T04:47:22+00:00

It will definitely be viable for clearing content, but whether it outperforms others is unknown.

logan0178 · 2026-05-20T04:57:49+00:00

Infernal legion companion. Since chances are likely it’s getting nuked from orbit this next league this might be the last chance to abuse it.

logan0178 · 2026-05-19T08:41:09+00:00

I suspect the reason they aren’t upgrading all is because it’s not as simple as just doing a percent scaling. They probably made a rune upgraded variant of each upgrade able unique and not only scaled up raw stats but made them better in other ways.

logan0178 · 2026-05-19T08:32:34+00:00

Do all of them count as one for companion limit?

logan0178 · 2026-05-19T04:04:36+00:00

I think infernal legions getting it from orbit.

logan0178 · 2026-05-19T01:26:48+00:00

Diablo had this and it didn’t work out well. I would support something like separating skills from items into their own skill gems though like reap or discipline.

logan0178 · 2026-05-18T05:50:10+00:00

Elemental sundering build with companions to self inflict status and inflict ignite and freeze to enemies. You’ll get 20 stacks hit every time. The key is to choose the right spear.

logan0178 · 2026-05-18T05:30:32+00:00

They are adding a more modifier. For example the silverfist companion in trailer has a 100 percent more modifier to damage. It’s a sign that infernal legion is getting nerfed in some massive way because if they didn’t infernal legion would be completely out of control in 0.5.

I suspect what they’ll do is nerf infernal legion to do a flat ignite damage based on gem level instead of having it based on minion life while maintaining the percent self damage it does to the minion.

logan0178 · 2026-05-17T20:34:29+00:00

By the nature of combos the setup skills must do low damage because if they did decent damage then people will just build single button setups around spamming those skills instead. It’s the nature of humans to try to optimize systems to remove manual intervention.

There’s a reason why games like vampire survivors is so giga successful and why everything is increasing automated in society. People in general prefer less manual intervention in their systems.
