ES RF build (can do almost any map)

Update form 1.1.0 !!!!:


hello, i really love RF, however, the fact that u cant do almost any map with it, really annoy me.
this is why i thought about this build:
http://www.poebuilder.com/#character/AAAAAgAAAnEEBwSzBS0MXw48EZYSaRRNFHEXHBcvGNsZLhpsHRQfAiFgJIsksCfVJ-0otSj6KaUtHy7_L282xTbYOlI74TyOPQ89X0CgQqNDY0yzTdhOKlBQUlNVtVYEVw1XyVj1WfNbr1yKXz9hUmaeaHRqHmsXbRlwu3FNcXl08Xy7f8aApIFvgseDOIZghtGHZYgbi3qMdo9GlKCXlZitms-cLZ2uncSePJ7Nn8uiD6KjpwinK6cwqBisqq1KtzG4k8AawQTB88RYxPbNJtIh2CTYTdkT2WHaYuL36-7sVe9O73zvhfIv8933wfno-tI=

as u can see, with this build i can get
just from tree 11.5 Es regen per sec

gear:



auras : purity of fire (currepted lvl 21+ empower to reach lvl 23) + grace + vitality + Discipline

with this i have 95% fire res, and also 19.2% regen without any franzy charges/endurance charge, if ill get 5 (1 from bandits) franzy charges, i can get to 24.2% ES regen(!!!!).
(can get even higher when u get the higher aura effect on self)
also use blood rage with it :) for easier franzy charges

i will be able to do also those maps:
- blood magic
- vulnerability curse
- 50% regen - u will still have plany of regen to stay alive with it
- no regen maps , aprrently, this not effecting shav ring , so u still have 4% life regen from that ring, not ideal, but manageable (pretty easy with falsks)
- and even lower max res (the range can go from -15% to -25%), its possible to do the lower rolls of that map.

(the only maps to stay away from are maps with 2 mods together: - max res together with no regen/ 50% regen)

well.... i would love to hear any comments , thx

One of the biggest problem with ES based RF ... it cost 3-4 times as much currency compare to a life build to a point where your build is just "I run this because my gear can carry me not because its good".

As a ES, you also need to deal with constant shock stack, perma freezes and stun lock, which means even more unique on your gear. Then you have to deal with resist which you barely have any since all those uniques practically give none. You will also have very low ES due to using the fire shield/frenzy boots, so you need BiS es gear on helm/glove to sustain a high ES to not die in a quick burst.

On top of that, ES has no way to recover life, no instant potion for you. As a low life chaos resist and chaos damage maps are also a big problem, you will not have the innate ES recovery in chaos maps, so you will entirely dependent on the natural regen....which really doesn't cut it considering how many non ES gear you need to wear.


The biggest draw of life RF builds and RF build in general is the ability to faceroll all non-anti RF maps with very modest gear just by walking around. Your build essentially negate all of that in exchange to be more map competent. At that point you might as well run a normal build with a shav.

im not sure what u were trying to say..
yup this is expansive, really expansive build, and only work at standard, but the question is if i will be able to do almost any map? i hope so.
about chaos in map, really not hard for me, and because my high regen, the +10% to max potion will work for my as HP potions. i will ge more es with them easily

Surprisingly, ruby flask acts like a healing potion to RF build. Ruby flasks is a must in an RF build, if you want to use it for healing, to maintain RF, or to cut of burning (which shuts off RF).

Of course, there are map mods that kinda annoy me with my RF build, but I managed to make my build tolerate vulnerability and ele weakness to an extent.

I like the wand with the +3 lvl gem, which puts my Purity of Fire to lvl 23 which bumps my max fire res to 93.....but the dagger is irreplaceable to me, I lose about 700-800 ES if I unequip the dagger, and that is a good chunk ES regen gone. I think 92% max fire res is good enough for now.

Then again, you do not need it when you have Shav's wrap. In my case, Shav's wrap is a dream, so the dagger is BiS for my RF build.




Here is the rest of my gears

Spoiler






I do not go low life, so with 22% chaos res, chaos mobs are not too much of an issue. Only giant drawback to this build is that I cannot kill totems, but I do not find it that bad. :P

well, u r right, that is a big diff in es, but also a diff between 92% and 95% (at max, more reasonably 94%) is 2 much of a diff in my opinion especially for hard mod maps, on not hard mods, ill probably use the sword

I only go from 92% to 93% max fire res in my case. In the end, I am trading off a good chunk of ES regen just to get back another good chunk of ES regen. If I did happen to go from 92% to 94%, then yes, it is worth losing ES to get even more ES regen back.
