Infernalist

Official artwork of the Infernalist.

Infernalist is an Ascendancy class for the Witch.

Overview

The Infernalist calls upon demonic forces to unleash hellish flames and gain great power at a cost. Pyromantic Pact trades Mana for Infernal Flame, where paying mana cost instead fills up a meter which causes her to take heavy damage when it's filled. Infernal Flame can then be enhanced to grant bonus damage while it's kept at high enough levels. Altered Flesh grants damage taken conversion and opens up three contracts with Beidat, reserving a quarter of your life in exchange for more Mana, Energy shield, or Spirit based on maximum Life. She can also shapeshift into a demon with Demonic Possession, gaining a large boost to spellcasting power but taking increasing amount of damage while transformed. She can also summon a Hellhound to mitigate incoming damage, and gain a large Critical Damage Bonus at the cost of igniting herself whenever she lands a crit.
