[2.0][Theorycrafting] Tanky RF low life, (item es + discipline) * 5.5 energy shield

90 points, minimum needed for Rightous Fire.

Level 100 build, 123 points. Basically the 90 point build plus "life" nodes.

Kill all the bandits.
Energy from within in all jewel sockets.

451% increased energy shield.

74% from 372 intelligence.
60% from 5x Energy From Within jewels.
253% from energy shield nodes.
64% from converted life nodes.

Fire resistance: 83 = 75 (base) + 7 (level 23 purity of fire) + 1 (Barbarism)

To reach level 23 purity of fire, in theory you can use a level 4 empower. In practice you would use The Vertex. The 5% from level 23 purity of fire, is increased to 7% by your 48 % increased effect of Auras you Cast.

Energy shield regeneration: 12.7% = 10.3% (passive tree) + 2.442 (level 20 vitality) + rounded down.

This is 127 energy shield regenerated per second for every 1000 energy shield.

Burn per 1000 energy shield: 96 = 700 (base burn) * 0.8 (20% reduced damage over time from Leo crafted shield) * 0.17 (fire resistance) * rounded up.

This means after burn, you will regenerate 31 energy shield per second for every 1000 energy shield you have.

Level 100 health: 1064 = (38 + (100 * 12) + (184/2)) * 0.8 (Eye of Chayula)

Maximum Life = (38 + (Level * 12) + (Strength / 2) + flat life bonuses) * (100% + percent-based modifiers)

Burn for 1064 health: 131 = 1332 (base burn rounded up) * 0.8 (20% reduced damage over time from Leo crafted shield) * 0.18 (fire resistance) * rounded up.

This means at level 100 you need around 4300 energy shield to not burn down from righteous fire. However at level you will have 3k energy shield without any energy shield items.

From the base build, take energy shield groups in this priority:

Arcane focus: 1 node. 20% per node.
Jewel sockets: 3 nodes. 12% per node.
Melding: 4 nodes. 10% per node.
Unnatural calm: 8 nodes. 6.5% per node.
Ancestral Knowledge: 1 node. 6% per node.
ES center globe: 5 nodes. 30% es. 6% per node.
Faith and steel: 4 nodes. 5.5% per node.
Templar mana and life: 1 node. 5% per node.
Templar armour and energy shield: 3 nodes. 5% per node.
Converted life nodes near Scion: 5 nodes. 5% per node.

So what do you think? Hit points seem extremely high. Damage should also be high, because Righteous Fire and Pain Attunement both give "more" damage. Of course it's possible to swap out the less efficient energy shield nodes for efficient dps nodes if you're so inclined. Your primary dps skill would probably be incinerate. The Righteous Fire burn itself should also deal good damage.

How the hell do you plan to sustain MoM on mana, after reserving most of your mana to run auras related to RF?
Why are you grabbing life from the scion wheel? and not even picking the notable node which has 14% life
And you could grab the written in blood notable without picking up the whole cluster, it's 15% ES for 2 nodes (so 7,5% ES per node, not bad) and also gives you 12% life which means more RF damage

I don't understand MoM well.

If you have enough mana regen to permanently run incinerate, is there any disadvantage to MoM?

Also only 67% or so mana is reserved. You put two auras in The Vertex:
35% * 1.25 (Empower) * 0.88 (level 4 enlighten) * 0.86 (14% reduced mana reserved) = 33.11% reserved per aura.

It's out of conversion range sadly.

If you look at the tree, I'm not taking the whole cluster, just the notable in blood and the travel node to get to it.

EDIT: I've actually removed written in blood from the build. The 5% increased energy shield it gives the build isn't necessarily worth the extra burn you get from increasing your life.
