RF is DEAD. BURN 90% LIFE / 70% ES

I love how the one guy is absolutely frothing at the mouth on page 1, saying RF is useless and impossible to maintain, telling people if they knew how to play they'd realize that....

Except he's completely wrong.

With only around 60 points in the tree I'm sitting on 8.4% Life regen per second just from the tree. Now add in the reduced aura cost nodes in the upper left near Templar. Total of 16% less mana reserved. This lets you run Vitality and Purity off mana. Easily.

Throw in an Alpha's Howl and even an Empower Gem for overkill, with a Rise of the Phoenix shield and the 2% max res from the passive tree and I will not only be maintaining RF, but REGENERATING LIFE WHILE ITS ON.

Some people really need to think outside the box and not lose their freaking minds because the build they copied from someone else isn't going to work.

P.S. That's you, h3rp3s

Err ok idont care that much for rf, but lemme ask this for builds i see ur point for life regen but what are u going to do with es, coz u got life covered thats ok but u cant offset es regen!

It's quite simple. Run a high life high armor build. I haven't crunched the numbers, but you MIGHT be able to run Eldritch Battery and run Arctic Armor, Vitality and Purity off Mana and use Blood magic gems for the rest.

It's what I'm doing. EK all the way.

Yes, RF got nerfed in the end. Now, time to act as an adult by accepting the change, adjust your character and move on.

Shavronne ring plus spring leaf plus vitality makes 13. Pick a few regen nodes from tree and your good. Indirect Nerf since you wwill spend less nodes on DPs and more on regen. Low life use purity and the +2 resist from marauder side. Also you pick up a ton of aoe since it works off es now.
