Need Feedback & Upgrade Suggestions for my RF Chieftain + some questions

Hey guys :)

could you please take a look at my Righteous Fire Chieftain and tell me what you would improve with 5–20 divines?

I’m leaking a bit on defences (one-shots) and my single-target damage also feels low. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Here are my questions:

Why do some people farm Gold? What’s the purpose/benefit?

When I vendor a Purity of Fire lvl 20 + 1 GCP, I don’t get a lvl 1 / 20% quality gem. Any idea why this recipe doesn’t trigger?

What do you think about switching the whole armour setup to Energy Shield, similar to this high-level build here?

My planned improvements:

Hit level 94 and add a Cluster Jewel

Upgrade all gems to 21/20

Thanks in advance for any help!

Rob,

You yourself are not ignited when you are using RF. You are burning. The foulborn chest is not giving you extra damage. Down the road, change your chest out to a regular cloak of flame with a +1 gems or +1 max resists corruption.

You need to find that extra 6% chaos res to cap out for degens. Start there for cheap fixes given how great the tree spits out gear. You could find something rare with fractured life/chaos resistance for just 1-5c.

You need to find a way to cut out vitality and switch to malevolence. Work your way to Hearty just above Barbarism and you should be able to swap. This will greatly improve your damage once you switch.

As far as other upgrades with the cash you have... you have a couple of routes.

Defiance of Destiny to make you much tankier - full stop. Big hit to your money but it is a great way to improve your survivability.


Otherwise...
1) If you change up your jewels to include max fire resistance and/or
2) Change your rings to the +2 max fire res Enthalpic rings from the breach map boss (use chaos resistance essence on them to get what you need)

You can then drop the Rise of the Phoenix - and switch to a few other shield types. You could go Prism guardian for your auras. That would let you respec out of all of those nodes for your upcoming cluster jewel you are working towards.

You could also switch to a rare shield with life regen, 30% reservation efficiency (Hunter/Shaper influenced) and useful stats.

You could switch to an influenced stygian (hunter) for %life rolls/regen to drop the immortal flesh.

Lastly, you ultimately want to be able to support Hateful Accuser ring. You mark the enemy, then kill the phantasms that spawn to create an explosion on the boss. BIG burn damage and will open up most bosses. See Pohx's latest information about this.
