How this build works
- Detonate Dead: Verified spell — explodes a corpse for damage proportional to its maximum life. Big corpses = big booms.
- Loyal Hellhound: Verified Infernalist notable — a permanent demonic companion that both tanks and leaves combat debris for your detonations.
- Corpse Conservation: Real PoE2 support (verified) — chance to not consume the corpse. Free re-detonations of the same fat corpse.
- Fire Penetration I: Verified support — detonations bypass fire res.
- Concentrated Area: Verified support — tighter blast for bossing.
