Is this Righteous Fire math correct?

Hi guys,

Building a spellcaster and I'm trying to use RF as a dmg boost. Are these calculations correct?


First let's do it without Inner Force.

Lets say I have these resists:
Spoiler
- Purity of fire 5% (lvl 20 gives 4%, but thats increased to 5% with aura effectiveness)
- Ele Adaptation 2%
- Rise of the Phoenix 8%
- Marauder passives 2%

Total of 75 + 17 = 92% max fire resistance.

RF burns for 90% of your hp. With 92 fire res, that would be (90% x 0.08 =) 7.2% of your max HP

Does this mean that with 7.2% life regeneration I can sustain RF without taking damage?


Then on to the Inner Force (+ Holy strength) calculation. Lets say I have the same resists as above, but Inner Force pushes the max fire resist of Purity of Fire to 6%. This would bring the total max fire resistance up to 93%.

Due to Inner Force, RF now burns for (90 x 1.24 =) 111.6% of total HP. After the fire resistance deduction, RF burns for (111.6 x 0.07 =) 7.8% of max HP.

So that would mean that with Inner Force and Holy strength, 7.8% life regen is enough to sustain RF without taking damage?


Thanks so much in advance!

Also, if you know a guide for using RF as damage boost for spells.. please let me know :D It would be greatly appreciated
