Pure Life RF Build

Build around 70
Complete build

A pure Life RF build has been my hope for a while now, I'd been crossing my fingers every week hoping for a new Unique that'd make it possible. Only a ES-oriented variety was possible, but with the addition of the new:

It is now possible to go full Life and run Righteous Fire.

The concept is to look cool (Which is obviously more easily accomplished as a manly Marauder), deal tons of AoE burning damage from RF, be able to use any Spell effectively with the +86% MORE buff from RF, and also be able to toggle RF off to be super tanky on the drop of a dime.

Right now I'm leveling as Elemental Cleave (will respec a few points), and probably won't be able to go RF until around level 70. Though I'm afraid I might lose interest before I get there.. On the bright side, aside from playing melee giving me carpel tunnel, I love using Cleave :P


I'll probably have to get an Astramentis or a good all stats Onyx Ammy or get some +Int on gear, to be able to use Spells. And I'd be low on Life% nodes until I get to 70, then I'd work towards the Vitality cluster and Divine Toughness near the top left while mapping. Kaom's was on my wish list for a life-centric build like this, but given how low my %Life actually will be, I think Kaom's might be mandatory to even run most maps..

And my main concern, is if I'd be too squishy.. Seeing as how I'd be lacking IR, Grace, and Determination, my armor might be too low. My elemental resists would be at 84% for Cold/Lightning, Fire being ~92%, so that wouldn't be much of an issue. And my life should be decent. After RF degen I'd have maybe 1-2% Life Regen/sec, depending on if I have no Enduring Charges or not, and when I pop a Ruby Flask, my regen would shoot up to 6-7%.

Anyone think I'd have enough tankiness with the few armor nodes I have, and pure Armor gear?

Any suggestions, concerns, or thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks ^.^

As long as you overcap your Fire resist, such that no matter what curses you have, your fire resist won't go lower. And reduced max resists/reduced regen maps you'll have to not run RF.

Other than that, the main thing to be extremely mindful for, is Shock stacks. Get Shocked even once, and your hp will start degening. Shocked 2-3 times, and you will die in a couple seconds if you don't pop a Ruby Flask or Dispel RF..

And at that build, that is more of a Whirling Blades oriented build from what I can tell. Mine is meant to be a Caster. Using FP, EK, Firestorm, Spork Totems, new Spells, whatever I feel like.
