POE2 0.5 Fireblast Infernalist Review Cover

Fireblast Infernalist received dual buffs in 0.5 — +20% ignite spread and 15% more ignite from triple Flame Resonance — pushing clear speed to all-time highs. But boss performance faces strong competition from Blood Mage Frostbolt CoC.

Data Analysis

Fireblast base ignite damage increased ~42% with rune system (20% spread x 15% more x rune bonuses). Clear speed S+: T16 average 1m42s (fastest of all builds). Boss kill A-tier: Aldur average 5m18s (vs Blood Mage Frostbolt CoC 4m02s).

Pros

Unmatched clear, low gear requirements (SSF-friendly), easiest rune acquisition (fire runes most common), one-button gameplay, most efficient leveling.

Cons & Risks

Single-target ceiling below Blood Mage, fire rune price volatility (affects trade players), lacks defensive layers, helpless against fire-immune monsters (need backup skill).

Verdict

Fireblast Infernalist remains 0.5's best league start, especially for speed-focused players. If you prefer pinnacle bossing, Blood Mage Frostbolt CoC is the better pick.
