I really like the build idea and RF mechanics, but is it really true that you cant run a LOT of map mods like: half/no regen, -resist, elem weakness, vulnerability etc?

This build has bad map mods:

Cons:
- no regen, blood magic. Cannot do it
- -max resists. Cannot do it
- vulnerabiltity can be manageable with life regeneration and flasks but it's hard

Any (affordable) way to overcome these weaknesses? I read a solution in another thread, which uses crown of eyes and facebreaker. It just simply turns off RF for the map and do it with infernal blow. This seems to be a bit expensive, cause CoE starts at 20exa.

the new passives have to work, I just grabbed them and did a piety run was by far my fastest kill I think 3 seconds? Been a while since I did a run but it for sure felt like a huge difference.

Back to finding some maps just need the last level on my purity of fire gem to test my facebreakers :)

25m/147m on gem to 20....oh the grind. going to runa few kole's on lunaris to see if my new dps is the real deal and try to compare it to your kole kill


edit: ran 4 kole and compared my kill time each time i killed he only swung at me once and died, were you using searing touch?

If you were i would def get new passives and say they are worth it

Awesome :)

On a sidenote, casting RF with dual Redbeaks on low life works. Saw the thread on the marauder forums and tested it. This gives 200% increased damage instead of 110% from a perfect roll searing touch, awesome!

It also makes the build cheaper as Redbeaks are maximum 1c a piece but means you will have to put RF on normal gear to get the 4l. I kinda run out of chroms trying to roll RBBB on my armour so I'm not using it yet but I definetly will! :)

This is how to cast RF with dual Redbeaks:
- swap to dual redbeaks and cast purity of fire on blood magic. This puts you on low life
- Drink ruby pot and cast RF
- Switch back to main weapon and cast your auras and get to full HP

It takes a little more time to cast but definetly worth it

wow that sounds insane, so we only have to have 2 red sockets on a redbeak to get the low life? and we can use the other redbeak to level spare gems?

I manage to 5 link my belly of the beast in 2 fuses and got iron reflexs, I'm loving the tank life : ) (running grace+determination + POF dropped vitality as its not needed with new passives) getting closer and closer to level 20 purity of fire almost half way.

By the way belly of the beast has much better armor/evasion rolls I think it can get near 1k + armor with iron reflexs, and it has more life than any plate up to 40% mine is 36% and beats 100+life plates easily. very nice and cheap plate if you ask me.



this plate looks promising, wouldn't this increase RF damage? and with iron reflexs it's nice armor http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Carcass_Jack 20% area radius and 12% area damage with life.

CoE is useless in that situation as RF is turned off and doesn't benefit from the increased damage. I haven't put much thought into it yet as I haven't gone into mapping since ripping but this is for sure, the build has a lot of life, life regeneration and damage mitigation which takes care of the survival and a lot of strength which helps with the melee physical damage. Making infernal blow facebreakers (or some other melee physical attack like heavy strike + splash) work while RF is off should be achieveable, with some melee items and imo quite affordable.

I'm afraid I can't help you more as I just don't have the experience yet in this department :)

GL!

Thanks for the post Thugs! I'm glad to hear it's working out great and I can't wait until I can start messing around with the new passives and IR. Also grats on the 5l :)

With regards to redbeaks, yes you only need to have one of them with pof+bm, the rest of the slots can go leveling gems. If you try this then you have quite a good armour for it as it has RRBBB sockets, put your RF there with inc aoe/conc effect/burning damage/empower. Downside is you'll have to remove other gems from your gear to make place for RF.

Carcass jack will boost the RF damage and AOE and it is a nice chest for this build. The damage boost isn't that great but the AOE is pretty good. One thing about AOE is that it also increases your damage as enemies will start taking damage from RF sooner as they enter your RF radius. Definetly something to look into it too for build optimalization.

GL!

Thanks! I'd rly like to run this build, but im afraid that I wont be able to do a lot of maps, since I mostly play in parties, 99% 70++ maps, and they do all mods. You know I dont want to whine about bad mods :) I guess I should give it a shot and figure out something for the problematic mods.

I have to be doing some insane dps with these redbeaks and new passives.

I was reading the marauder RF build that you were talking about and someone was complaining about this build being able to use swap to get insane damage.

Hopefully they don't nerf us the high dps is too fun and there is a lot of drawbacks on the build for mapping so I say it's fair. Most of the time RF can't be used in parties.

If they do nerf it's their game, but hopefully we could get a respec

and it's not like there aren't a lot of other builds with amazing perks. Hopefully a word from GGG for any plans so we know.

If they change anything it will be the cast moment of RF and making it work like a normal spell I guess. We'll see, I must say that actually RF is the only spell that I know that can benefit from this mechanic.

I cant seem to find a weapon with 2+1 gem levels, but I see in the OP that you are using only a +1 all skills weapon. Based on that, the 2+1 is not needed for the PoF?

It depends, what you need is a combination of life regeneration and maximum fire resistance to sustain RF. The 2+1 weapon boosts purity of fire which gives you higher maximum fire resist.

In order to see how much damage you take from rf do this:
90% (damage taken from rf as fire) * buff multipliers (this also boost the damage taken) * fire resist (mitigates damage taken from rf)

For example you have 89% fire resistance and 6% increased effect of buffs:

90 * 1.06 * 0.11 = 10.494% of your maximum life taken as fire damage from rf. This means you'd need 10.5% life regeneration to sustain RF

The 2+1 weapon for pof is because if you have a level 17 pof it will boost it to level 20, which then gives +4 to maximum fire resistance + the aura/buff boost

Why I'm using this weapon? For the 5% xp gain :)
At this moment I don't need this weapon, with purity of fire at level 17 I get +3 to maximum fire resistance, * 1,34 from aura/buff boost = +4

I have 89% fire resistance, and 8.4 life regeneration from passive and 1.65 * 1.34 from vitality. Damage taken = 90*1.06*0.11 = 10.494 and I regenerate 8.4+2.2 = 10.6 I take no damage from RF

Hope it's clear ;)

GL!

it's so annoying to get to the min. reqs for RF :(...my PoF is only lvl 16 and i only have a #2 sceptre so I'm nowhere near the requirement. anyone has a 18+ PoF for sale which I can buy :(?`the high requirement for PoF really suckz
