How this build works
- Despair: Verified PoE2 curse (the real chaos curse — 'Conductivity' doesn't exist in PoE2) — lowers chaos resistance and marks the target for Hexblast.
- Hexblast: Verified payoff spell — consumes the curse on the target for massive bonus damage. The 'payoff' tag on the gem is literal.
- Impending Doom: Verified support — when a hex is removed, trigger doom damage. Hexblast removes hexes BY DESIGN — every cast double-detonates.
- Price of Power: Verified Lich notable — power-charge-fed spell amplification for the detonation loop.
- Heightened Curse: Real PoE2 support — socket this into DESPAIR (not Hexblast): stronger curse effect means a bigger Hexblast payoff when consumed.
