righteous fire guardian lvl 48 cannot sustain RF - need help

Hi guys, so i play a RF guardian character and atm I cannot sustain RF
roughly my values are :
energy shield recharge : 276.9 or 295.3 (if LL)
fire resistance : 76% (116%)

The character is LlRiFiGu you can check it in the characters tab.

what should I improve in order to sustain RF without having to use life flasks (when i'm not LL)

AFAIK fire res and life (ES) regen are the most important ones to sustain RF, or not?


Thanks in advance for any tips

Is RF your mainsource of damage? If yes, you can use a fast hitting weapon with Lifegain on hit and Moltenstrike. You can regen an insane amount of Health with this.

with 76% fire resis you would need 24% Lifereg to sustain the deregen.
Also Purity of Fire Aura and Phoenix Shield might help you.

I dont think Guardian is usefull for RF builds.

This. Rise of the Phoenix and Purity of Fire will give a combined +10 max resist. Beyond that, there are corruptions for armor and amulet offering +1 max resist each (worth it? dunno).

Also, the degen is 90% per second, not 100%, so at 76% fire resist you would need 21.6% regen to break even, not 24%, at 86% resist, regen requirement drops to 12.6% if my napkin math is correct.

This guy is level 48

ES recharge doesn't matter as you have to stop taking damage for 2 seconds before it even starts and any damage will interrupt it. What you need to look at is your ES regen (assuming you are an ES character). Level 48 is not too low to sustain RF with enough regen, fire resist, and Leo's reduced DoT mod on a shield or 2 handed weapon.

Sounds like you are a hybrid character, which makes it difficult to get enough regen. RF damages you based on boht life and ES. I think if you want to sustain it at such a low level, you need to ditch any ES you have until you can handle it.

I checked your character out. Drop fragile bloom. Fragile bloom increases the damage you take from RF, so with low max fire res it's not worth it (you lose 21.6% of your life per second normally, so fragile bloom makes you take 2.16% damage per second more, which outweighs the 2% bonus).

For a low level character, investing in flat regen per second can help a lot. For example, use rejuve totem. Also swap out all your es on gear until you can run low life properly, to lower the rf drain. Swap ephemeral edge for clayshaper to get better stone golem regen too. (it gives a lvl 12 stone golem, which is better regen than your lvl 8 one.)

3 dragons is pointless for RF, but I understand you are using it for the ele resits.
