Help me save my demon form recoup infernalist (Ronarray build)

Hi all looking for some help with Ronarray’s recoup demon infernalist. https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ronarray-demon-form-arc-infernalist-witch-league-starter-build This build is so much fun probably my favorite after 800 hours on poe2 but since I’ve switched the recoup version of the build I’ll be having a blast clearing a map and I’ll commit suicide or die out seemingly nowhere. Typically juiced t15’s or t16’s and I seem to die on half of the maps lately so I’m hoping for some tweaks or tips or I might have to go back to the previous version of the build but I’m poor as I stubbornly refuse to make a temple but am having fun blasting maps when I don’t die.

I have two parts of the build that I don’t understand 1st one is less important but in the beginning of his passive tree on the way to the crit chance he had a weapon set point 2 that goes into a weapon set 1 point, I can’t seem to get this! Is that even possible?

2nd for his jewels he has a “heart of the well” jewel that’s has minimum 10% life, 10%mana, 15% maximum resistances,10 damage with hits and 10% extra skill effect duration. What jewel is this? I can’t find one like this at all

Per his guide if you’re having issues with survivability you should switch one of the unique rings to one with life,regen but when I switched mine out I felt like I died just as many times. I have about 92% recoup and have tried taking out some damage for a few more 3% recoup nodes but it doesn’t seem to be effective. I’ve got max recoup fire on my belt, max energy shield recoup on my helmet and t2 but max recoup life on my amulet.

Should I add more recoup on my jewels? Should I get more health or energy shield? I felt like I did pretty good job stack health and energy shield but maybe I should stack it up more as I’m only 2k health 4.5k es.

I’ve tried watching his video for this build but it seems to be an older version of the build.

Thankful for everyone who have been posting great info on this subreddit I’ve learned a lot. Any help is appreciated!

Heart of the well is a unique that can roll a multitude of modifiers different from normal jewels

I recommend diving into the poe2db.

I played the same build, tbh HungryBoots has a much more budget friendly version for a LW infernalist but it’s CoEA instead of CoC. I had to learn the hard way that Ronarrays build and guide is of semi good quality, there could be much more. There are two sources of suiciding for grinning immolation infernalist. Either grinning immolation which is easily fixed by going for crystallised immunities instead of barbaric strength annoint and the other source is pyromantic pact. It could help to place a life cost converter support gem in your CoC to prevent these nasty random suicides from pact and more importantly you want 78%ish max fire resistance. Your heart of the well diamond does not to anything for the build in that sense, neither does altered flesh when all, your res cap is 75. Recoup should be 100%+ if you want to mindlessly blast away and make sure do not slot in maps with reduced recovery. You can pm me if you have more questions

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
