Updated guide a little. I plan to update it further in the coming days as I see there is a lot of room for information missing from the guide that is scattered here and there, that was initially not in the guide or that we learnt on the way.

Hi Necro!

Can you update guide with the changes you were talking about or tell me where I should go next with my passive tree. Lvl 61, with 1 unspent point and 18 respec points.

Skill tree

Thanks!

Answering my own question for now. Critiques are welcome. This is the optimal build to be able to run this at lvl 65 with only lvl 15 purity of fire and +2 fire gems setup. I have killed piety on merci so assume those quests rewards in the build (76 points used). Hoping it all works out.


Math:
increased buffs: 0%
increased auras: 28%
purity of fire: lvl 15 + 2 from fire gem affix = 3% increased max fire
vitality: 15 + 2 from fire gem affix = 1.98% regen per second
passive tree regen: 9.8% regen per second


total degen = 10.82% per second
total regen = 11.72% per second

Final = .92% life regenerated per second with buff running.

Am i missing anything?

Looks like a very fun build, but is it at all possible without the unique shield? Im starting from scratch on nemesis and its quite expensive

Hello, no this build is not possible without rise of the phoenix. I'm afraid that due to the popularity of RF builds this unique has rised in price lately, I bought mine for 9 chaos a few weeks ago, I don't know how much they ask for it now.

If you want to start from scratch bear in mind nemesis league is ending next month!

Curious since I'm not using discharge. Does it do enough damage to take out regular totems? How about that totem boss in the Underwater map?

Ran into that issue doing Underwater map for the first time.

Hello, with 7 endurance charges I can one shoot normal totems, as you can see in some of the vids. Underwater boss takes about 4-5 full discharges to kill. Just make sure to proc EE before discharge and a ruby flask in case of elemental damage reflect map mod. However I only kill "cannot die" and "always crit" totems.

Hi, do u know if "18% increased damage over time and avatar of fire" works for RF or not?

Hello, RF is a DOT, all DOT damage passives apply to it. I see this is not in the guide, I'll make sure to update it :)

Chris' announcement wrt to DOT changes in 1.0.2: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/650913#p5663422

Avatar of fire would not work for RF as RF already does 100% fire damage. I would also proc EE anytime any of your attacks/spells hit the enemy.

Thanks!

Hello, check the guide "Intro to righteous fire and damage taken" section, there is a part "Going RF" where I post the passive tree and gear needed for activating RF at level 65. Read this section as it will help you understand how the skill works and what are the requirements for it. Once you know exactly how this tricky skill works it becomes even more fun to use as you'll be thinking on ways to improve and optimize it :)

Hello, nice math! :)
Only thing is that vitality isn't a fire gem so it doesn't get the +2 levels from the weapon, however this is not needed as you regenerate enough life already.

GL!

Hi Necro,

I noticed in your Level 100 build that you left out "Armor Mastery" and armor nodes and added back holy strength. Is this because of physical reduction caps and better regen or are you finding that even now you don't need those nodes any more?

Also, are things like "Blast radius" just not worth the points to get the increased radius on RF?

Thanks,

DamnNewbie

Hello, my bad I left out armour mastery! Thanks for noticing, I fixed it :)

Here are some possibilities for really end game character.

Level 100 life path, get as much life as possible: Level 100 life

Level 100 AOE path, get as much AOE as possible: Level 100 AOE

Level 98 block path, 70% block chance with tempest shield: Level 98 block

I guess all of them would be viable and I would try them all if I had the level, I particularly like the block one, in the end I guess to each their own flavour :)

At the moment I'm level 88 and to be honest I don't expect to level up much as I play solo 99% of the time, that's why I haven't really bothered checking a "final" build. To me the build is finished in terms of passive points (just get more life whenever I level up), in terms of gear, empower can get to level 3 (will take a really long time though) and then some fine tuning can be made as with a level 3 empower you can get +8 to maximum fire resistance from purity of fire.

Cheers!

You read my mind :) I was looking at several variations and trying to decided what I wanted to do. Thanks again for posting these!

Anyone else struggling to find a Rise of the Phoenix for under 2 ex? This is ridiculous

Seriously 2 exalts? I don't think the drop chance of this unique is that rare?

I think the build is just getting very popular. I am on standard and was able to get one for 1 ex but there are a lot more available obviously.

The build looks fun, shame the shield is a must and only item that has +max fire res >_>
Guess I wont be trying it out before I actually drop one, derp. Maybe in the new league...
