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

Hi!

First of all I really like the build! I started using it today! (Respecced a level 82 scion from EK to RF because EK couldnt handle higher level bosses 72+ maps)

I just ran a level 72 where the boss would 1 shot me, and now it was just the way around!

The only problem I have is that I want to use Culling with Item rarity, but everthing dies so quickly!

Those are my current items:



The culling strike is in the gloves together with ice nova.

I was wondering if there is another way with a quicker casting spell to apply the culling/IIR on.

I also use this spell to apply the elementum equilibrium. But mostly not needed because they die to quickly!

I also have 3 free gems in my weapon. What set up could I still use.

Thanks for the build! It is awesome! Good job and happy new Year!

Hello, thanks for the post. I'm happy you're having fun burning things down :)

First with regards to culling strike + iir I'm using this for mf runs
Incinerate will trigger EE making your RF do less damage and a greater chance to cull before enemies die. Bosses are no problem with this but rares sometimes die before incinerate can cull.

Second, you have a very nice level 20 purity of fire! If you use a +1 to gems +2 to fire gems weapon you will get a level 23 purity of fire which gives +5 to maximum fire resistance! You can also use a level 2 empower in a +1 to gems weapon which also gives you a 23 level purity of fire. I prefer this as then you can use the supreme truth as weapon for extra 5% experience gain. With the extra 1% maximum fire resistance you can respec some life regeneration nodes just check how much life regeneration you would need to sustain RF.

GL!

For my melee version of this, I find triggering elemental equilibrium easiest with lightning warp. warp into the middle of a pack of monsters and your arrival damage triggers EE and then RF melts them all, then warp onto the next one. Also melee splash with any item that gives any amount of lightning/cold damage will trigger as well. Just need to avoid items with added fire damage.

keep on cooking!

Hello, thanks for the post!

Yes lightning warp works too and you provably move faster with it. If you have the shocking passives it's double fun :)

I tried it for a bit but I'm just too lazy to use it ;)

Thanks for the reply!

I came up with this now:
(Had to use like 300 chromes to get the colours right :p)



I tested it on level 72-74 maps (yellows), and it worked marvelously! Never died, and killed everything with a lot of ease. :-)

I'm looking to buy a lv 3 empower, mine is only at level 2, 40%.

I really like the faster casting/reduced duration on the lightning warp, because I lack in movement speed.
For finishered I use your combination, witch works great! I like the fire damage to get them the 25% extra res to it, so the culling has an easier time finish the mobs.

I also can use manual cast frost nova if needed, and enduring cry.

And divination destillate is just the icing on the cake! It really helps the build, I can get up to 83 AR, and 96 fire! It's just like an extra pot, but with IIR and IIQ!

In total I now have 125 IIR and 30 IIQ. With Culling and Destillate I have: 245 IIR and 55 IIQ. Finding almost allways at least 1 unique per map.

My build is slightly different from yours, if you want to have a look?


I really like your build! But sometimes I wonder what mods I can take on on the maps. Maybe you can add a guide on witch maps we can handle as RF users?

Hello, very nice gear! BTW you can cast rf on carcass jack and then place your normal armour.

Mods that can not be done or are too difficult in maps: blood magic, half regen/no regen, - max resistances and vulnerability curse.

I need to update the guide, maybe tomorrow :)

GL!

Ok so although my purity of fire is not level 20 yet I decided to give the block variation a try. I was very pleased with the 90% physical reduction build and might go back to it depending on the results of the block variation.

Build now: Level 85 block RF

Also acquired these items for spell damage bosses


64% block 5k6 hp

With spell block gear: 64% block / 55% spell block 5k hp

I can still hit 90% physical damage reduction with charges and granite.

When pof hits level 20 (almost there) I will check these different possibilities:
- respec out of life regeneration nodes and get more block
- respec out of aura nodes and get more block
- drop vitality and run tempest shield

Cheers!

Im really interested in this build. But i have a few quick questions. Rf burn 70% of es dmg per second, why we dont use es to keep rf? For example, use "life regeneration applies to energy shield instead of life". Besides, Rf burn life after es done? Or burn life and es at the same time? Plz let me know! Thx!

I've been working on getting the AoE of Righteous Fire up, currently it's at 50% with concentrated effect active (80% without), with another 15% AoE coming soon. This is what it looks like with 50% increased AoE:



It's at the point now where if I stand still, almost all melee enemies, barring some with loads of life and fire resist (Did somebody say rare Cinder Elemental?), die before being able to attack. I can avoid Volatile XXXblood rares, though it requires a bit of last-second positioning still.

Current passive tree (Going to respec to get the AoE nodes near scion start later)

RF burns ES before life. The problem with doing ES RF is that you cannot do this with CI, because Righteous Fire is cancelled when you reach 1 life. As a CI character, you are permanently on 1 life, and cannot cast Righteous Fire.

Sure it'd still be possible with a shavronnes, but that just makes the build so much more expensive. You'll notice most of the life regen nodes are next to life nodes too, which would be wasted points if one was going for energy shield.

jianuo1991: as EndofEnds said. This RF build is life based and for ES based you need Shavronne's chest which is out of reach for many players and even more difficult to obtain in new leagues like nemesis

EndOfEnds: nice AOE you have going on there, I'm curious how it will look after respec. I see you went for the more life based build instead of the 60% increased burning damage, nice :)

I respec again to go back to the 90% physical reduction build as I like it more than the block one, it has more life, keeping endurance charges is way easier and the difference bewteen 70% and 90% physical damage reduction is quite noticeable. It also makes it quite easier to overcap resistances which makes it easier to find affordable gear to fit the build.

Once purity of fire is level 20 I will drop vitality and run purity of lightning for 80% lightning resistance (81% with level 20 pol) and 90%/91% with flask. To me, physical and lightning damage are the most dangerous ones followed by chaos and cold, next goal will be to get some nice chaos resistance gear. For very dangerous bosses I plan on using Doedres danming with enfeeble and temporal chains, debuff with EE ice nova and buff my damage mitigation with flasks especifically for those bosses. I think this setup is more optimal than going for block/spell block, I will see :)
