Necro's The Mitigator righteous fire invasion build

Hello all,

at the moment I'm leveling my next cool idea for a character. This guide will be quite short for now and will get updated as I go on. I decided to make a guide already to record the progression.

Purpose of the character will be to mitigate as much damage as possible. Patch 1.1.0 buffs mitigation in the passive tree in terms of more maximum resistances and dual hp/armour nodes

Highlights end game build
- 100+ increased aura/buff
- 210% increased armour
- +12 to maximum resistances from tree alone with all three purities level 20
- 6 endurance charges
- 3 x 40% and 2 x 60% auras
- 28% chaos resistance from tree

Final tree
112 points

Current tree (previous char)
95 points

Current gear and defenses with 6 endurance charges without granite (previous char)


Damage
Ultimately I'll use RF for damage in the meantime searing bond totem/s with dual curse (doedre's danming) and EE


Plan for gear
- lightning coil for extra physical damage reduction. Extra very long term plan is to corrupt it for +1% extra maximum resistances :)
- Safell's frame for +4 to maximum resistances
- Rise of the phoenix if RF cannot be sustained with Safell's
- Corrupted amulet for +1% to maximum resistances

Expectations end game
- 93% elemental resistances with Safell's. 95% with corrupted chest and amulet. Inmune to elements with flasks
- 97% fire, 89% cold/lightning with rise of the phoenix. 99/91% with corrupted chest and amulet. Inmune to elements with flask
- 90% physical damage reduction without granite with additiona 40% reduction from lightning coil
- No elemental ailments due to high mitigation and extra crit mitigation
- Cap chaos resistance. This will be the hardest, I expect to easily cap elemental resistances due to purities and passive tree, letting me focus on chaos resistance in gear.

We'll see how this goes :)

Cheers!

Gonna level some at docks and stream for a bit :)

Update, got Lightning coil and Safell's after some vaal grinding and kill service. Total costs around 3.5-4 ex. Defenses looking pretty good atm, level 71.

Gear


Tree
Level 71
Will respec the dex once I don't need them anymore. Next goal is go to influence for aura boost and grab the chaos resistance node.

Defenses with 6 end charges and no granite


Vaal grinding is extremely effective for chaos recipe and xp up to this level. Gonna do Piety and maps now that defenses are quite good.

Cheers!

Have to be careful with chaos damage until I get more resistances, damage took a hit after taking off searing touch but still okish. Will use doedre's danming soon too boost the damage

Update, changed to RF. Not optimal for RF yet (had to respec a few points) but pof will hit level18 in a few vaal runs which will give me another +2 to maximum fire resistance (94% total) from aura boost.

Gear


Tree

Got really lucky while leveling up the pof gem in 66 maps and found a carcass :)

Setup for RF is now complete, plans for gear is optimize armour and chaos resistance. Plans for tree is getting to charisma to run the other auras, this will also give me dex to use lightning coil. As I level up I'll drop life regen nodes once they're not needed anymore, late game I'll check if using safell's is viable.

Hello, yes it is :)

Getting there, good looking defeneses so far, 6end charges no granite Level 78

Was good to the you in action today on Colby's stream. Looks like the build is running well.

Seems to be a really interesting build. Do you find this one better than your other rf?
