[2.5] Low Life Guardian Righteous Fire

Hi all,

This is yet another LL RF build but with Guardian class. I choose Low Life build over Life build simply because it can dish out a lot more dps. Below are the full guide.

Pros
Spoiler
- Very high damage
- ES can go over 20k (if you have a lot of budget)
- Tanky due to high ES
- Can do most maps
- Insane regen 2.7k - 8.3k regen (from Time of Need)
- Basically can Facetank ANY boss
- Can run maps with elemental weakness / vulnerability maps / less regen (-40% to -60% less regen*1)
- Doesn't require a lot of resist on gears
- Dual / Tri curse ( +1 curse on Astramentis or simply cast curse on hit with elemental weakness and flammability with Witchfire Brew Flask*2)
- Max block chance (75%) every 5 seconds and Stun Immune

*1 - You need to have good flask management
*2 - Curses will alternate between Elemental Weakness, Flammability & Vulnerability


Cons
Spoiler
- Can be very expensive if you want to have high ES
- Cannot run Blood Magic map
- Cannot run No Regen map
- I DO NOT recommend you to play on HC unless you are extra careful when doing insane map mod
- This build is not death proof

Flask explaination
Spoiler
Vessel of Vinktar - You DO NOT need legacy flask. I simply use because i got it early before the nerf

Ruby flask with immunity to shock - Use Vinktar and then Ruby flask to negate the shock on us, it also provide regen as we have higher Fire resistance (89%)

Witchfire Brew - It has lv 21 Vulnerability, Smoke Cloud (extra defense as we are less likely to get hit by 50%) and also Damage Over Time (50% - 70%)

Sulphur Flask with Immune to Freeze - As we have very low life due to reserve from Aura, we tend to get freeze a lot and 4% ES regen over 5 seconds

Quicksilver Flask - For movement speed also also anti bleed. (Tried with 20 stacks of bleeding and it doesn't affect much for we have a tons of regen)


Gem Link
Spoiler
Body Armour - You DO NOT need a 6L Shavronne's Wrapping. 4L or 5L can be use. I simply use 6L because I can go semi MF with IIQ and IIR gems


Head Gear


Shield - dual Vaal Discipline setup (3 link)

Scorching Ray totem + Vaal discipline setup (2 / 1 link)


Boot - *You need a lvl 4 Enlighten and also Lv 21/20 Blood magic so that you can free up one 4% reserve node on your tree otherwise you can spec into 4% reserve on templar area if you do not have the budget
*Try to get a lv 21 Purity of fire and also lv 3 empower to get 5% max fire resist. It also provide additional fire resist

I took off Arcane Vision simply because it's wasting 1 skill points. For Uber Lab run, I tend to pretend there is no trap as it deals so little damage to me


Lab Enchantment
Spoiler
Helm - Go for RF 40% damage or 8% radius to your liking, i prefer the 1st option
Glove - Cast Commandment of Winter when Hit (auto proc EE)
Boot - Regenerate 2% of Life and Mana per second if you were Hit Recently (from 2.7k regen to 3k min regen and 8.3k to 9k regen when Time Of Need takes effect)

What kind of jewels you got running man?

nice overall tho.
i would consider utilizing the spell dmg more multiplier off righteoous fire so you increase your dmg output even if only a little in a 4link. fx this could be incinerate with whatever else tied to it. as you have fairly low unreserved mana i suggest reduced mana support.

I am using x4 Energy From Within (12%) and a rare jewel with 16 int and 8% Max ES

I am running EE thus i cannot use incinerate. I have tried using scorching ray but mobs die faster than i can cast and for bosses who moves around a lot, it's a bit of clumsy gameplay.
How is the build working with 2.5?

This build is still strong in 2.5

I bought some new gears and now my ES is over 20k

If you still have legacy Energy From Within and some ex to spend, you can reach even higher ES
The new upgraded eye of chayula will be insane for this build. so much es

I feel that Esh's Visage is much better, it has Insane amount of ES http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Esh%27s_Visage

+(40-70) to maximum Life
(240-260)% increased Energy Shield
+(30-40)% to Lightning Resistance
+(17-29)% to Chaos Resistance
Chaos Damage does not bypass Energy Shield while not on Low Life or Low Mana
Reflect Shocks applied to you to all Nearby Enemies
Which items should i focus on getting first?
Also how much ex did your gear costs total? :)
