Leer Cast & Righteous Fire
Hello! I'm trying to attain 100% damage mitigation from the RF debuff. Theoretically from passives, gear and Purity/Vitality, my build can obtain 89% fire resist and 7.7% life regen. Can leer cast reduce the damage of the RF debuff in order to make me burn for 85%/s rather than 100%/s?

" That makes sense, but I'm pretty sure RF damage is damage dealt. Just a guess since RF damage is increased by %area damage and %burning damage. Can anyone please confirm/deny this? |

I'm confused with the synergy you are trying to make between RF and Leer Cast. Leer cast reduces damage you deal by 30%, and you and your party get an increased 15% in damage. It is not 30% reduced damage taken or whatnot, and doesn't reduce RF in any way.
There has been a righteous fire build to attain 100% damage mitigation created already. With your setup, and ruby flasks, you are basically at 100%. (With Inner force, you can cap 100% resists, but you take extra damage from righteous fire when ruby flasks aren't on because rf counts as an aura). See this thread: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/287751/page/1 It was actually very popular until they lowered the base life% nodes, along with the EA nerf, which severely crippled its clear speed/viability at end game maps. Good luck. IGN: Flickerdart Last edited by Kabiras#2723 on Aug 10, 2013, 6:43:09 AM

It's my understanding that DOT (damage over time) isn't effected against damage increases (with the sole exception of "increased burning damage") and thus would not be changed by Leer Cast.
Plus, it would be too stupid if any random who joined a party threw off the regen math of any RF users there just because he's wearing Leer Cast (15% increased damage). When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

I don´t see why it shouldn´t affect RF since it doesn´t specify any kind of damage, it just increases overall dmg or decreases it. If someone could lend me a Redbeak on standard I could try it out with one of my dead chars.

" Thanks for the link! But I'm not going for a typical RF build. I'm actually a spell caster and I want to get the 100% damage mitigation so I can get the spell damage increase from RF. If leer cast reduces the damage dealt by RF by 15%, then I would have approximately mitigate 98.4% from RF with my build. I don't want to depend on Ruby Flasks either. @Tiossi: Hey, I'll gladly lend you a Redbeak to test it out, but I'm going out soon. Can you leave your IGN? I'll add you and we can do it sometime when we are both on :). |

Oh! Now I see what you are saying. Redbeak definitely does NOT work with Righteous Fire, and will not increase the burning damage you deal with RF in any way. RF does not deal damage directly, but rather, acts as a burning debuff from the enemy.
Edit: Tested Redbeak with RF - you take same amount of damage from RF, you don't deal anymore. IGN: Flickerdart

" Aw :(, thanks for testing this though! Kind of sucks that RF doesn't work with Redbeak/Leer Cast. That puts me back at approx 96% mitigation. I also found out that life RF builds are unable to do - regen/resist maps. With that said I am really rethinking my build. Too bad, face tanking with incinerate had been so much fun up till now xD. Thanks again Kabiras, and thanks for everyone else who tried to help! |

I've got 78% fire resist (going to be 80% max), and 7% regen, and I've got over 100% damage reduction of RF's burning damage. In fact, I regen an additional 20-30 hp per second on top of the damage I take.
It's true, being able to do this the way I do it, any chaos damage is pretty much guaranteed to kill you. I've got -12% (no other items except for two Lanterns); it's definitely not enough.
