Blasphemy is aMeta Skill inPath of Exile 2that can be confusing to a lot of players. Unlike most other Skills, Blasphemy follows its own rules, which those who want to use it will have to understand.
Blasphemy has the ability to turn debuff Curse skills into persistent Auras that turn the area immediately around the player into a death zone. With the right build and setup, this Skill can be a game-changer. Here is how it works.
How to Use Blasphemy in PoE 2
The Blasphemy Skill Gem can be unlocked using aLevel 8 Uncut Spirit Gem(or above). In order to use it, follow these steps:
Blasphemy will only work when there is a Curse skill in a support slot.
The following are the requirements to use a Level 8 Blasphemy Gem:
Adding Quality to Blasphemy by using Gemcutter’s Prism reduces the Spirit Reservation required for each Curse Gem.
Blasphemy has the following effects:
Blasphemy Description
Turn socketed Curse skills into vile Auras, applying their effects to all nearby enemies.
Socketed Curse Skills apply in an Aura around you
Reserves 60 Spirit per socketed Curse
Supported Curses have (41–50)% less Magnitudes (Scales with Blasphemy Level)
Socketed Skills have +1 meter to base radius
Additional Effects From Quality:
(0–10)% reduced Reservation
The Blasphemy meta skill converts Curse skills into Aura skills centered around the player character. If an enemy walks within range, the Curse effects are automatically applied to them for as long as they remain within that range.
Blasphemy requires at least one socketed Curse to function. Curses are typically Skills that can be obtained using Uncut Skill Gems of the appropriate level. The remaining support sockets can be used for Support Gems likeHeightened CurseandMysticism.
Additionally, Blasphemy reduces the effectiveness of the Socketed Curse by 50%. Increasing the level of the Blasphemy Gem will decrease this debuff up to a maximum of 41% at Level 19.
How to Apply Multiple Curses With Blasphemy in PoE 2
InPath of Exile 2, just like inPath of Exile 1, thecurse limit is set to 1, which means that a target can only have one Curse applied to them at one time. If you socket two Curse Skills in Blasphemy, only one of the two will be applied to the enemies that get into range, even if you have the necessary Spirit for it. Luckily, players can circumvent this restriction and increase the limit through the following methods.
If you have Whispers of Doom, Doedre’s Damning Ring, and Dominion Over Flesh, your Curse Limit will be raised to 4. Actually using this with Blasphemy, however, would require a whopping 240 Spirit.
