Necro's pure righteous fire build HC, 90% phy dmg reduction, cheap! (5 seconds piety vid) lvl89

So does the 20% inc elemental damage on The Supreme Truth apply to RF when you switch to it? Or does RF only pick up on currently equipped items when cast?

And did you get a chance to try RF with Infernal Mantle, then switching to a different chest? 35% increased fire damage and 25% of fire converted to chaos damage seems pretty cool.

I did some calculations in excel aswell, since the spreadsheet that you published somehow didn't work. As long as yours is still buggy, the interested reader may use my spreadsheet instead. It helps calculating whether you are able to sustain the degen from RF depending on your individual setup.

Feel free to link this spreadsheet or do whatever you want with it ;)



Edit:

I decided to go with the IR variation and use alpha howl with reduced mana, grace, pof and vitality. As I managed to level pof to lvl 18, I can now run the following build and was able to get rid of the Sovereignity cluster which saved me alot of passive skillpoints. I'm lvl 78 now but in a few levels, my build will look like this:

A big advantage (at least for me) is, that I won enough skill points such that I am able to get the aoe nodes from the witch starting area. I really feel comfortable with that high amount of increased aoe. My remaining total life reg (after the RF degeneration) is 0,5%.

Hello everyone. I am in need of some help with this build. I'm trying to figure out why I can't sustain RF when with my gear and talents I seems like I should be able to. The only thing I can think of is that my Purity of Fire is too low level, but I'm not sure. I leveled up as Spectral Throw and just switched over to this build so set-up isn't 100% complete yet. I will link my gear and passive tree below. If anyone could help me out I'd be very greatful. Great build and guide btw Necro, keep it going!

I haven't tested it, but before testing I would assume this:
ele dmg from truth doesn't apply
fire dmg from mantle applies but chaos dmg doesn't (testing the chaos dmg part would be difficult I guess)

Maybe I got some time and the stuff to test it out this weekend

Purity of fire is level 14 you need it level 16, +1 from weapon, level 17 = +3% to max fire res. 3% multiplied by 28% from aura node + 3% from holy fire + 3% from buff effect = 3% * 1,34 = 4.02% max fire res
Tree is good and gear is pretty nice :)

GL!

Hello and thanks for the post! Love the spreadsheet you gotta teach me them googlez doc skills :)

If you're ok with it I will link it in OP with mad props to you :) I hope it helps players new to RF to understand the build better!

As far as the growth and decay and iron reflexes path goes I'm very very interested in the results. It is something I haven't been able to do yet as when growth and decay was introduced I was high level already and don't have an alpha's howl but I definetly want to try it.

As you say, this setup let's you respec the aura nodes which can be used in other usefull nodes that are very close and not only that, it gives you more freedom in the gear choice as you can also use evasion as armour and more life. One thing I still need to run some numbers on is if it costs more points and the total physical damage mitigation. I hope to be able to update all this when I got more time.

Hmm was thinking about curse on hit linked to a skill that procs EE. The quality of curse on hit is quite nice, anyone has experience with this support? As I understand it from the wiki it only applies the curse to the enemy hit by the skill but it should be np as we would use an AOE skill lke ice nova.

Can also use an attack like leap slam but would need RT as the chance to hit is quite low.

I'm gonna mess around a little with it :)

Hey Necro, I really like this build. I was a huge auradin fan in the D2 days, and this is bringing back great memories, so thank you :). I've been following this thread while leveling and just switched to RF at 65 with the dual redbeaks. The damage is pretty satisfying, but I have a lot of work to do on life/defenses.

Anyway, I was thinking freeze mine could be a good combo with this build. Freeze mine + elemental proliferation seems like a good way to keep enemies permafrozen, but combined with increased AoE and flammability/vulnerability/temporal chains could be seriously OP with RF. My thinking is that we have lots of free time to cast mines, so it won't really inhibit our damage output. It could keep mobs clustered well if used correctly, and it would also increase RF with flammability while also proccing EE. Not to mention the obvious defensive perk of having the mobs unable to attack you.

I haven't tested this because I don't have the gems, but my concern is that it would take away some of the fun of playing this build if everything is just frozen all the time. Another option might be to use freezing pulse/cold snap/ice nova in place of freeze mine, but I think increased AoE would have to be swapped out for curse on hit if we want to keep it down to a 4L. I'm gonna keep a lookout for some of these gems while I keep leveling, and I'll let ya know if I get a chance to test it out.

I'm level 67, followed this build down to the gems and almost completely on the tree, took more life regen nodes which is shown below as well as my gear.

My life is about 4.2k with about 450~ life regen/second, I think I'm at about 11.7% life regen per second. My fire resist is 87%, all this is with vitality and purity of fire auras on.

I'm so close but I lose about 20-30 life per second still, which isn't a lot, but i'd like to have completely positive regen without buying an alphas howl or a level 20 purity of fire and/or vitality gem.

Here's my tree and gear as of now, any help that can get me to have complete positive regen with RF and auras on, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

I had the same problem as you NuRave but I figured it out on my own. Remove anything energy shield related except for your shield. Try doing it now and you'll notice a huge difference. I'm in the same boat as you except for the HP (mine is 3904 right now).


Edit: I just grabbed some Armor/Resists/Life/Life per Sec gears using POE.XYZ.IS and no more degeneration lol. Life is ticking up 1 life per second woot woot.

87 Fire Resists. And I had also grabbed Growth and Decay (using the right half only and leaving out the 9% Damage Over Time on the left).

Build Currently at 70:

equip them when turning RF on then switch back to main gear

Infernal mantle 35% extra fire damage and 25% converted to chaos

2x rings = 30% more

helm = up to 30%

poor kole got instant killed ;) Thinking about going for immolation on skill tree more life regain and nice burning /fire boost the switching gear above mixed with redbeaks is unreal damage. Can anyone calculate the dps with the gear above at max fire damage and grabbing immolation with new passive DoT nodes combined with redbeaks? can use empower level 2 with infernal mantle aswell and increased burning damage Q20 gives +0.5% chance to Ignite the enemy on hit with Fire Damage
would this count with RF or no? Don't want to gemcut it to 20% if not


Also just been farming piety with 4 friends they leech really and one of them has 400% IIR culler. This build is amazing at rushing through piety and killing her aswell.

Waiting to see if they are going to make RF turn off or lose its damage when you take items off in the upcoming patch because I know people were complaining about it bout it. And really debating about facebreakers now that RF has such insane damage and so much can be added to it.

Btw outside of hardcore and nem, Cast on death 20/20 gives 304% damage boost and 60% incrased area. Add that gear above with redbeaks. And on death if you dont hit ressurect you just lay there with RF on. pretty much the above set up but 304% more damage added with a 60% increased area of effect boost. Pretty useless as dying is horrible for exp but i tested it after i lvl'd up because i had the gem for it. But if there is ever some near impossible content added that gives amazing reward and near impossible for people to do, Suicide and watch it burn :]

Thank you so much Necro for the build. I'm loving it! I just run straight to Piety now. Get a butt load of yellow drops without any MF gears. And I definitely love being able to just run around her Blue Arrow form and still do damage to her! Wrecked :D

My links if anyone cares:

Head: Reduced Mana - Vitality - Determination - Purity of Fire
Body: Righteous Fire - Increased Burning - Concentrated Effect - Increased Area of Effect
Gloves: CWDT - Molten Fire - Life Leech - Increased Duration
Shield: CWDT - Enduring Cry - Vulnerability
Boots: Blood Magic - Life Leech - Ethereal Knives - Blind
Main 1H: Blood - Ice Nova - Vulnerability

Yea using Dual Redbeaks up the damage quite a bit @.@ Since I'm using a Tabula, I like to use Leap Slam with Blood Magic in the remaining slots.

Right now, I'm debating on whether to get the burning damage nodes or life. In terms of damage which would be more effective, Necro? I'm doing fine with 4.1K hp with max resists.
