PoE2 0.5 Temporalis Spell Build Guide

1 Acquire and Equip Temporalis

Temporalis is the entire engine of this build. Farm it before investing in anything else.

• Farm via Sekhema Trials - use Last Flame relic for unique chest rewards.
• Run many trials with relic drop chance boosts and aim for no-hit bonuses for safety.
• Equip as your chest and prioritize a high ES roll on the item.
• With investment, Blink cooldown drops to 0.1-0.3s, enabling near-continuous teleporting.

2 Choose Class and Level Core Skills

• A
  Class: Blood Mage or Sorceress

  Blood Mage (Stormweaver/Chronomancer) for life/mana sustain and leech in high-damage loops - easier infinite resources but glassier. Sorceress for safer ES/wards if you want more tankiness.

• B
  Main skills: Spark + Blink

  Level Spark (most popular for projectile clear) or Arc/Comet variants + Blink as your core. Add Spell Cascade and Faster Casting supports.

• C
  Trigger setup: Dueling Wand + Spellslinger

  Use a Dueling Wand for Spellslinger setup (Doedre's or EW for triggers/energy generation). Many builds also include Choir of the Storm for extra projectiles and damage.

3 Scale Blink and Spells for Loop Speed

• Stack cast speed, cooldown recovery rate, spell damage, +gem levels (amulet/ring/Lifespring).
• Mana/ES leech or conversion - Blood Mage shines here for infinite sustain.
• Aim for low Blink CD via Temporalis + tree nodes/supports (Cattley's Rejuvenation specifically mentioned for CDR).
• Energy generation: Blink fuels Spellslinger/triggers. Hold Blink or use numlock/auto for spam while moving.

4 Gear Priorities

5 Playstyle Execution

• 1
  Blink spam for movement

  Controller: dodge roll spam. Mouse and keyboard: rebind or cast to cancel sprint animation. Hold Blink or use numlock/auto for continuous teleporting between packs.

• 2
  Triggered damage while moving

  Hold main skill/Spellslinger for auto/triggered damage while Blinking. You should never stop to cast manually - Spellslinger/CoC/CoEA removes animation lock.

• 3
  Clear and content choice

  Clear screens instantly with Spark projectiles + infusions. Ramp Spark duration for coverage. Best used for solo speed farming: juiced maps, temples, rituals, breaches. Less ideal for parties (Choir of the Storm damage doesn't scale with others).

Key Decision Points

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ! Ignoring cast speed/CDR - without it Blink causes sprint lock after each teleport, making movement feel clunky. Fix with faster cast nodes or input tricks.
• ! Poor sustain setup - without leech/conversion or proper energy generation, loops break mid-map. Blood Mage makes this easier to solve.
• ! Underestimating the tankiness trade-off - Temporalis is an ES robe but provides lower total ES than alternatives. Stack other defenses to compensate.
• ! Over-investing before having Temporalis - farm Temporalis with a safe starter build first. Building the full setup without the chest wastes currency.
• ! Manual casting instead of triggers - casting spells manually while moving kills your speed. Use Spellslinger/CoC/CoEA to automate damage and eliminate animation lock.
