Oni-Goroshi RF build

when i found out about the oni i immediately set out to have one drop and then after 6 hours of a grind i got one but from i can tell the stats remind me a lot of Righteous Fire with how you take damage constantly and it scales with fire resistance and i was wondering either or not it would be possible to make build with the both of them and how well the damage scales since your constantly igniting because of righteous fire which will constantly be procing the her embrace

RF makes the monsters burn but it does not ignite them. You would have to ignite them with a separate attack/spell
could it still be a potential with both chance to ignite support and flammability curse which combined would give it roughly 40 chance to ignite with the two and with flammability also providing the lowered resists of enemies
You mean ignite the mobs with sword attacks? It might get a bit hard to mitigate all the degen...at level 90 you'll burn for a total of 135% of total life per second. With 81% Fire Res you'd need 25% life reg unless you have some other damage reduction.

But to answer that specific question: yes, you sure could use chance to ignite and flammability to ignite the mobs. Chance to ignite on its own will be enough if you have enough attack speed (which should be easy).

However, it'd probably be much less effective than using sceptre and shield + scorching ray instead. But I'm not an RF expert
I really don't see any kind of synergy between the two. None of the modifiers of Oni-Goroshi affect RF in any way. The only situational benefits you will get is ailment immunity and movement speed from Her Embrace. Meanwhile you lose everything you could have on a weapon + shield (including maximum fire resistance from Rise of the Phoenix for example).

In order to trigger Her Embrace, you need to ignite, which means you need to hit with fire damage, which means you can't use Elemental Equilibrium to get a big boost to RF damage. (Unless you use Three Dragons I guess?)

The stacking degens mean you have to invest an awful lot more into countering them both at the same time, if that's even reasonably possible. And for what benefit exactly?
