Adding more AOE, movement speed, and damage to RF Build?

Hi exiles - anyone see any ways I might add more AOE, movement speed, and damage to my RF Build? I've got about 45 divines to put into this, but not sure what to do without harming my tankyness too much. Thanks for any tips!!

1) Get out of Saffell's if you have money. You cannot block attacks at all with Saffell's (so one of your corruptions is actually worthless) which is actually harming your tankyness.

You want a shield that has +2 max all res and +3 max fire res as suffixes. Bonus if you have either +1 fire spell skill gems and/or %fire damage.

2) One of these is a decent bump in your damage (~13% or so):

Those prices are ridiculous for what you get though. If you know how to craft, you can make something for a lot less.

3) To meaningfully up the tier of your damage, you need to cut a part of your tree and use the points to get into cluster jewels and fire dot jewels.

Appreciate the useful feedback, thank you!! Giving me lots to consider and some questions:

-Is giving up 29% spell block worth ~25% regular block? Also, if I only got 2% all max res on a rare shield, my max res would turn into 88f/87c/88l from 90f/89c/90l. I remember reading 89 to 90% max res is like 20% reduction in that damage category or something similar? I'd get a 15-20% DPS bump though which is considerable.

-You're right on those scepters, can't justify 35+ divs for only ~13% increase in DPS.

-Cluster jewels are tough. I can't figure out how to make them really worth it. A lot of top builds on poe.ninja seem to be using Carnage forbidden jewels which are price fixed to all hell. :(

If you prefer the spell block, Saffell's is fine to keep. I would try to get one with a better pair of corruptions though because the 4% block one does nothing (since that's attack block, which you can't do). As a Jugg, that's not a terrible move given you don't get suppress.

The other part you missed is upgrading your gems on the Fire Trap setup. Awakened Burning Damage, Awakened Swift Affliction, 21/20 Fire Trap gem.

Beyond that, the sad truth is there isn't that much more damage you can squeeze out. Jugg is the lowest DPS of the RF ascendancies until you put a stupid amount of currency into the build. Those scepters are some of the last bit of easy extra damage you can get.

If you want to go clusters, I would recommend the following. Giving you a before and after because your pob is not accurate on damage. You did not have it set on Guardian DPS and you set 50 shock, which you do not have. The only shock you have is from your skitterbots, which is only 18%. You basically massively inflated the damage you were doing.

Setup with Clusters (I used fairly cheap 3 mod jewels, you can get better if you want to spend more):

A decent chunk more damage, radius goes from 3.0m to 3.2m

Do note, the new pob is short Intelligence. Given your gloves/belt/etc. aren't amazing (you should really spend some to get better ones here), you should be able to make up this deficit.

Thanks again! I ended up going dual sceptre after all and it's surprisingly much smoother with this massive DPS and explodes. Probably not as good on the major boss fights but mapping is a breeze. :)

Good to hear!
