[PoE 2] Burning the Endgame with my Pet Elephant ~ Build Showcase

► Yooooooooo, Exiles!

Here’s an endgame showcase of my decently min/maxed Lowlife Companion RF Lich Summoner. This is my take on Oscrix’s build, refined with a few new tricks and tech for SC.

The core of the setup is an Elephant-Tortoise Companion, turned into a walking inferno with Infernal Legion. Once ignited, it radiates burning damage, igniting and melting everything in range.

To scale the damage, the priority is simple: stack as much Companion life as possible. The higher its HP, the stronger the base damage of the ignite.

I didn’t want to rely on the Spectre weapon swap bug(?) for clearing, so this build stays much closer to Oscrix’s original Dinomancer (0.2) — just with a few new twists. I still use weapon swap to reposition the Companion or prompt it to walk/run when needed, but far less often than with the Crested Behemoth or Bogfelled Commoners.

I suggest checking out Oscrix's original Dinomancer. It pretty much explains everything you need to know if you have no clue what you are looking at.

• Muster instead of Magnified Effect for Pinnacles
• Companion gem is set to 24 in the PoBs because Prism of Belief (+3) doesn't seem to work in PoB I am still tweaking the build. 2 more levels and I will probably drop the "From Nothing" Jewel.

► The "new" scaling tech - Damage Scaling (TL;DR):

• Extra Fire Damage directly scales the Ignite from Infernal Legion.
• % of Damage as Extra Cold/Lightning/Chaos also works when paired with Bringer of Flames or mods like “All Damage Ignites” on Rare Monsters
• I’m using the Lineage Support Xoph’s Pyre to enable Chaos damage to ignite, combined with Unholy Might and a beast that has “Extra Chaos Damage” + “Extra Fire Damage.”
• further scaling is possible with Evergrasping Rings
• crit might also be a thing (see: https://youtu.be/33LQuYaC7DU?si=-QDxNAU1PmPBcqSn)

My own Proof/Test Video - Xoph’s Pyre Ignite: https://youtu.be/HTn6PFGZbcA?si=P8E94OVrB4vx1PsJ

The rest of the scaling comes from Minion Life and Minion Level, along with picking up AoE nodes to expand the Infernal Legion burn radius.

► Defenses:

• Hybrid ES/Evasion setup on a Lich for strong layering
• Shavronne’s Satchel + Ghost Dance provide consistent recovery and sustain
• Blasphemy Temp Chains
• Forced low life state to leverage low life mods: - stronger flask healing - Defiance for scaling evasion (Megalomaniac) - increased movement speed (when on low life)

► Where to farm the Beast:

• find/bookmark "Azmerian Ranges", it is the only map with guaranteed Elephant spawns
• buy waystones with "Rares have 1 additional Modifier"
• run it but never complete it, always leave one Rare alive
• rinse and repeat
