What's The Highest Survivability Low Budget Build?

SRS or one of a multitude of totem builds.

RF is good especially this late in the league however anybody who dies regularly leveling is going to find the playstyle and balancing the stats difficult they are probably better with something simpler like having floating skulls kill everything while you afk.
Max Block Necromancer Caster or Summoner. You can opt for Mind Over Matter and defensive curses too while still maintaining good damage.

(Plenty of guides in the guide section.)

Righteous fire is the opposite of a "low budget build". Yes, RotF is the only mandatory unique, and the rest can be rares, but the devil, as usual, is in the details. It's those rares that will cost you a fortune - RF jewels, essence-enchanted gloves or helm etc. And without them, you'll be lucky if you can complete the act content and do some low-level mapping. Much as I enjoy my RF Jug, I would strongly recommend against rolling an RF build at this point in the league. There was a small window in early league when you could get decent RF gear for reasonable prices, but that window is gone. Supply is currently very low, and the prices are astronomical.


Want to add smth to that:

Instead of Essence Gloves one can just use Wyrmsign gloves, which is a 1c item providing RF with 39% more dmg.

Currently running a Flame Totem Chieftain in Harbinger SSF, seems to be just as good as before. Its slow going to start, but it gets pretty tanky pretty fast. Doing lab is a joke with this guy, it so easy.Leeching life off of fire damage by totems is pretty cool.

Here is the build I follow; http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1050038

[edit]

Build recommends Tukohama, but i've gotten pretty far without it on previous leagues. You just need +resist and gear that boosts your totem's damage. Then stick +life on everything

Ive played 5 different builds up to level 75 and beyond in this league.

My favourite build still is my first one.
It is not the best at killing bosses, it is not the best at clearing,
it is not the best at tanking but....

It comes close enough, can run all maps (not found one i couldnt do yet)
and is damn cheap.

Its a SRS necro with zombies but no baron.

7 Zombies are playing your meatshield and providing good damage too.
Most bosses rather play with the zombies than me.

Still running 2x 5 link on cheap gear and fell pretty safe with 4.5k life and 4.5k ES and chaos resist around 0 coming just from the tree.

Its the best starter build ive ever played.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I'm going with dual-Warchief right now, something I've never tried before.
I got to 87 and died in a Hallowed Ground map, from off the screen.

I don't know why I keep playing this game. I'll never experience the end game content.

I guess I'll try a max block Slayer next...
