Path of Exile 2 continues to push build creativity into absurd territory, and few setups demonstrate that better than this Infernalist-based critical slam archetype. At its core, this build revolves around a deceptively simple idea: convert charge generation into guaranteed critical strikes, then multiply those crits into massive AoE slam explosions using mace skills like Bone Shatter and Sunder.
What looks like a standard melee bruiser on the surface is actually a carefully engineered interaction loop involving charge conversion, low-life scaling, and conditional guaranteed crit mechanics. The result is a fast, explosive melee character that clears screens instantly while still delivering respectable single-target burst.
This article breaks down how the build works, why it hits so hard, and what makes its mechanical foundation so unusual in PoE2’s current design space.
The Core Concept: Guaranteed Crit Through Charge Consumption
The defining mechanic of this build comes from a unique mace effect:
Attacks consume an Endurance Charge to critically hit
This single line completely reshapes how the character is built.
Instead of investing into traditional critical strike chance, the build ignores it almost entirely. Crit chance becomes irrelevant because every attack is guaranteed to crit as long as an Endurance Charge is consumed.
That flips standard scaling logic upside down:
No crit chance investment
No accuracy pressure for crit consistency
Full focus on critical damage bonus multipliers
The build converts consistency into a deterministic system: if you attack, you crit.
Charge Engine: Turning Power Into Endurance
The real engineering behind the build is how Endurance Charges are generated.
The setup uses a chest piece with a powerful conditional modifier:
Gain Power Charges over time if you haven’t consumed one recently
Plus on-hit charge generation potential
On its own, that would generate Power Charges—but the build never actually uses them directly.
Instead, it relies on the Resonance keystone, which converts charge types:
Power Charges ? Endurance Charges
So the loop becomes:
Chest generates Power Charges constantly
Resonance converts them into Endurance Charges
Mace consumes Endurance Charges to guarantee crits
System repeats endlessly
As long as attack speed doesn’t exceed charge generation rate, the build achieves near-perfect uptime on guaranteed crits.
The only time this breaks slightly is during extreme attack speed spikes (like Haste shrines), but even then the system quickly stabilizes.
Low-Life Scaling: Multiplying Damage Output
A huge portion of this build’s damage comes from intentionally staying on low life.
Using mechanics like:
Pain Attunement ? more spell/attack damage scaling while on low life
Overextend ? additional critical damage bonus multiplier
Coward’s Legacy-style setup ? forces low-life state safely
This allows the build to stack multiple “more” multipliers simultaneously.
The key idea here is not survival optimization—it’s damage conversion. Low life becomes a permanent offensive state rather than a risk.
Why the Damage Gets So High
When all multipliers stack together, the build reaches extreme scaling:
Guaranteed crits (100% effective uptime)
Massive crit damage bonus stacking
Low-life multipliers
Companion-based damage scaling (via jewel interactions)
AoE scaling from ignite proliferation mechanics
The result is effectively a “crit multiplier stacking engine” rather than a traditional melee build.
Even though Path of Exile 2’s tooltip may show misleadingly low DPS, actual damage in practice is dramatically higher because conditional crit behavior is not properly reflected in the UI calculations.
