The Infinite Warp Blood Mage build is a [url=https://www.mmoexp.com/Poe-2/Currency.html]Poe 2 Currency[/url] wild experiment in Path of Exile 2 that turns the Witch’s Blood Mage ascendancy into a teleporting machine. Instead of traditional clear methods, this setup uses Lightning Warp in a way that lets you teleport into enemies instantly, even when they’re at full health. The result? A near‑constant, high‑speed map traversal that feels more like flicker‑strike than spellcasting.

Core Concept

At the heart of this build is a clever interaction between culling strike mechanics and Lightning Warp’s targeting behavior. Normally, Lightning Warp teleports you to enemies only if they are within the culling strike range (meaning they are low enough on life that a culling strike would kill them). However, by stacking modifiers that increase your culling threshold above 100% of enemy life, you can make every mob fall into culling range the moment it spawns.

This is achieved through two main mechanics:

Reducing Enemy Effective Max HP: The Blood Mage ascendancy node Whispers of the Flesh combined with Blasphemy forces enemies to reserve ~15% of their life, effectively lowering their max health cap to 85%.

Stacking Culling Strike Threshold: Gear and passive bonuses push the Culling Strike threshold high enough — roughly ~85.2% or more — so it matches or exceeds the enemy’s effective max HP. Equipments like Myris Uxor, Heart of the Well and tree nodes help you get there.

When these lines cross, Lightning Warp sees every white mob as cullable at full health and will teleport you into them repeatedly — creating an infinite warp chain.

Gameplay Loop

Cast Lightning Warp on nearby enemies — you’ll instantly teleport towards them because of the elevated culling range.

Each warp either kills or brings you right into packs, letting you chain warps endlessly.

As you move, defenses like instant leech (Atziri’s Acuity) and the new Soul Tether keep you alive even at the heart of mob packs.

Defenses & Stats

Because you’re warping into enemies constantly, survival is key. Typical builds aim to stack instant life leech and energy shield recovery, giving you tens of thousands of effective life/ES to sustain rapid teleports and crowd density.

This unconventional Blood Mage isn’t just theorycraft — players are speed‑clearing T15 maps with it and sharing videos of its absurd mobility online.
