high life RF build is useless now
|
I really don't know what people are complaining about.
They are called fire flasks and you should probably be using 3 of them like I do. For when you need a little more of a boost to use a regeneration totem too. For my righteous fire guy the hardest part has not be sustaining life, it had been mastering what 2 curses to use and that didn't take that long. It might be a little more difficult playing in a group though if they are using curses that don't help you. I started dreading when I heard they were decreasing life nodes. I thought it was gonna be a massive change and it turns out not anywhere near what I had dreaded. I'm now more excited then before since armor is gonna be more useful and think I might go righteous fire again in onslaught. |

" rejuvination totem just usefull early game, same with health potion, with upcoming new patch, late game its very painfull to lose 3.6% max life/sec, yes u can counter that with popping ruby flask all the time but its really not worth compared to other build that can do more damage and not popping flask all the time and is safer (RF ring of fire aoe is really tiny, so u should face to face with monster all the time) i forgot to mention that its really painfull to depend on popping flask all the time, especially when u are at group, cause u replenish pot just when u kill the monster, not ur party friends, and with upcoming new patch that nerf life node, u do even lower damage, because RF main damage is based from ur max life, so ur chance to replenish pot is more slim edit: good luck trying ur RF build at onslaught, i really curious to hear the result (what i mean are pure life RF build, not that OP low life RF build) Last edited by aristolholy on Jun 4, 2013, 7:35:56 AM

I'm level 70 hardcore pure life righteous fire.
Regen totem works great for me act 3 merciless. Right now I literally can sustain it completely and that is cause I got a phoenix shield. Losing 4% is basically like just going back to safell shield again. It just means I use the fire flasks a little more often and use warlords mark on whites. I only have 3,8k life and have had very little problems outside of the chaos damage snakes and vaal. I don't clear things extremely fast and yet for me this has been my easiest character to play by far and my highest level character. The only thing that has kept me from really getting farther is I don't play a great deal of time and my luck finding things hasn't been great. I have 0 chaos resist on anything and I think only my belt has any +life max life on it outside of some plus strength on a few pieces. I don't see to much problems at all in replicating this character in onslaught and getting into 80's. |

" wow are u sure man? with just 3.8k life u just do 1.9k dmg max (not calculate enemy fire resist yet), u sure u can replenish ur pot at party while u popping ur ruby flask all the time? hint: try play endgame map, maybe its best to play it after the new patch edit: iam lv 86 pure life RF build, iam already playing hundred to thousand endgame map, so i know what iam talking about Last edited by aristolholy on Jun 4, 2013, 8:28:51 AM

I reread the stuff and I get what people are talking about
now. I play solo so yea Righteous Fire in a group is probably completely useless. Edit: Curious though, as a righteous fire user are you able to do most maps or are you really restricted in the modifications you can attempt? I am not quite there yet to trying them out, want to refine my armor to get more chaos resist and +max life before I was going to attempt any maps.

Please wait and see. Perhaps you will be able to compensate easily with regeneration effects from life leech or life on kill.

" Very old keystone from closed beta that converted all physical damage dealt to fire, leading to massive increases from ele damage with weapons increases. The downside was that you couldn't resist cold damage. It was nerfed and nerfed and nerfed until eventually getting dumped.

Low-Life RF builds are still possible, you just have to use a Rise of the Phoenix or Springleaf. Which is a good change imo, making one have to gear more for a build, rather than using gg ES shields.
Pure Life RF builds however, are completely broken and unplayable. No one wants to run from pack to pack relying on Ruby Flasks to stay alive. I played my RF+FP Marauder with 3 Ruby's, mostly for the regen and utility suffixes. I've done a few Vulnerability maps, and you have to rush from pack to pack to Life Leech and get Flask charges. It is doable, but you can't take your time and enjoy the drops.. IGN: Golem_Antsy, Harvest

GGG could easily preserve the pure life Righteous Fire builds by simply buffing the life regen nodes or life regen from endurance charges. Endurances charges would have to give enough where it would be worth it to have them constantly up.
I really hope the devs save this build because its a unique build and it would be a shame to lose something as awesome as rf. |

" if i got mod like : -max resist, slower regen, or no regen, i will roll new mod, cause RF user like us cant play on that mod, curse mod like elemntal weakness was also a problem, but i always bring spare equip at my inventory that have high resist like fire or lighting that i change when i got elemntal weakness mod or i encounter enemy like necromancer that cast flammibility |
