When you enter the endgame stage in POE 2, you not only need to adjust your game play strategy but also need to replace or upgrade your builds in time, otherwise you may not be able to adapt to the high difficulty of the endgame smoothly. Compared with the early stages, the endgame combat system has fewer enemies but is more difficult, so no matter what class you play, you must make adjustments to adapt to this situation.

If you play the class of Witch, it is recommended that you use Minion Army Infernalist as your endgame build after entering the endgame. As one of the best single-player classes in Path of Exile 2, Witch can fight more easily in the endgame with minions because of Minion Army Infernalist Build - but the premise is that you need exchange for gear that can guarantee health points by POE 2 Currency, after all, Witch’s own survivability is not very good.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the knowledge you need to master to create a Minion Army Infernalist Build from different angles.

Best Gear

If you played a witch in POE 1, you should know that getting good gear and ideal attributes for this class should always be a top priority, especially armor that can provide maximum energy shield. Shields can help you survive in combat and keep your health as unaffected as possible by enemy attacks. So if you can, you can get some hybrid pieces that can provide both armor and shields when using Minion Army Infernalist Build.

In addition, it is recommended that you equip this build with good scepters and amulets - if you find it too difficult to get the relevant item drops in combat, you can also exchange them through POE 2 Chaos Orbs. Among them, the scepter allows you to summon minions, not only with a high spirit boost but also enhances your minions’ damage, attack speed or movement speed. And the right Solar amulet can further increase your maximum spirit and provide bonuses to your minions’ skills.

As for gear that can enhance secondary attributes, gear that provides armor or increases maximum health, energy shield, and elemental resistance is a good choice, as these characteristics will help you survive the endgame while turning into a pseudo-tank.

Finally, don’t forget to provide your boots with bonus movement speed and intelligence, no matter what method you use. Because intelligence can increase the mana pool of Minion Army Infernalist Build, and the increase in movement speed can keep enemies away from you.

Best Skill Gems

For Minion Army Infernalist Build, the first two skill gems to consider are Reavers and Arsonists. The high damage brought by Reavers and the support of archers can attract the attention of bosses and knock them down, while Arsonists are more conservative in combat performance.

If you want to get more outstanding game performance with this build, the more skill gems you should choose are Skeleton Clerics, Pain Offering, and Detonate Dead. First of all, Skeleton Clerics can heal or revive other minions, and Pain Offering can greatly enhance other minions by turning a minion into a totem. Detonate Dead allows you to use the large number of corpses created by your minions to clear out enemies.

Another Witch build worth mentioning is Pyromancer Infernalist, which uses the same core Witch minion skills, using fire spells to supplement the remaining skill slots to cause maximum damage to the enemy. If you want to try it, you can equip it with spirit gem Raging Spirits, Flame Wall, and Flammability.

Best Spirit Gems

The first spirit gem suitable for Minion Army Infernalist Build, Grim Feast, is actually suitable for most POE 2 builds. This gem will cause enemies and minions to drop essences occasionally after being killed by you, and you can collect these essences to replenish your Witch energy shield, which can effectively save you the currency you need to heal yourself or your teammates.

Another good spirit gem is Raging Spirits. When you use fire spells, this gem will help you summon small fire minions. Although they have a short life, they can cause great damage to the enemy. It is worth mentioning that Raging Spirits works perfectly with Flame Wall and Flammability to allow enemies who are debuffed to be further cornered by terrible fire damage.

Best Passive Skills

In order to make Minion Army Infernalist Build fully effective in the endgame, in addition to the three basic attributes, you should unlock as many passive skill points as possible that enhance the minions of Witch class in the passive skill tree. Although the node clusters that can enhance the damage, maximum health and elemental resistance of the minions may not make the minions strong enough for boss battles, they are more than enough to deal with regular enemies. In fact, without minions, your Witch will hardly be able to move in the endgame.

As for the remaining skill points, it is recommended that you choose all those that can maximize the defense of Witch, such as enhancing energy shields and elemental resistance, which can be well matched with your armor. If necessary, you can also choose to unlock offensive passive skills, but this may weaken the role of minions. Since minions are the main damage dealers of Minion Army Infernalist Build, you need to choose offensive passive skills carefully.

After the introduction above, I believe you should have known how to create and use Minion Army Infernalist Build. I hope it can help you get a good combat experience in the endgame of Path of Exile 2!
