Gaming Strategy: Path of Exile 2 – Infernalist Minion Witch Build – June 25, 2026

The Infernalist ascendancy turns the standard minion witch into a walking inferno. Here’s the full build for endgame mapping.

Ascendancy Points: Infernalist

1. Pyromancer (4 pts) — minions burn on hit, ignite proliferates. Your army becomes a fire-clearing machine
2. Spirit of Flame (2 pts) — your Spirit feed into burning damage for you and your minions
3. Lord of Embers (2 pts) — every minion death explodes for 20% of their max life as fire damage. This is your clear engine

Gear Priorities:

1. Wand: +2 to all minion skills, cast speed, minion damage
2. Shield: +1 minion skills, spirit, max life
3. Helmet: minion skill level implicit (via essence)
4. Chest: 6-link with +life, resists, spirit

Skill Gems (6-link): Summon Arsonists → Minion Damage → Elemental Army → Fire Penetration → Minion Speed → Combustion

Auras: Anger, Haste, Clarity (with Essence Worm ring for free reservation)

Playstyle: Drop flammability curse on rares, convocation to reposition minions, and let the arsonists melt everything. Use flame wall to boost their projectile damage. Bosses melt in seconds.
