Niffler´s Endgame Righteous Fire Guide [2.0.0]






PASSIVES


Why 120 points!?!
You definitly DON´T need to be or reach level 100 to follow this guide, but I decided to upload my level 100 plans. This enables you to skill according to your personal preference, playstyle and especially gearprogression, after obtaining ALL Keynodes of course ;D





KEYNODES:

ALL efficient x% life regeneration nodes required to sustain the degeneration from Righteous Fire

Elemental Equilibrium --> For additional -50% fire resistance

Unwavering Stance --> Stun-immunity for Atziris Phys Trio

After those get ALL efficient x% increased maximum life nodes--> Life provides more survivability & total regeneration AND increases the base DPS (50% from ur Maxlife + ES) and is therefore also supirior to any %ele Dmg nodes!

BANDITS:

NORMAL:

Oak for +40 Life

CRUEL:

Eramir for +1 Skillpoint

GEMS


6 Link Cyclone:



Cyclone lvl1/Q23 + Curse on Hit lvl20/Q23 + Elemental Weakness lvl20/Q23 + Flammability lvl21/Q0 + Life Gain on Hit lvl21/Q20 + Fortify lvl1/Q20

Cyclone is your way to gain "life leech" as you cannot gain life from your RF DPS.
==> AS long as you got one piece of gear with any cold or lighting DMG on it, you will activate Elemental Equilibrium and reduce the fireres from mobs by 50%, the Bruning from RF will not count as fire-hit so the penetration -50%fireres is permanent!

Curse on hit grants us -158% (Q20 Curse on hit not included --> will increase this!) fireres on mobs hit by cyclone (increased AOE from passives also apply;D )

If I only have a 5 Link?

Cyclone + Curse on Hit + Elemental Weakness + Life Gain on Hit + Fortify

For 2nd curse there are some options (don't forget the unique/passive with +1 max curse):

a) CWDT + Icenova + high level Curse on hit + high level Flamability

b) CWDT + low level Flamability/Vuln

c) Corrupted Gloves with vuln/eleWeakness on hit


Righteous Fire



Righteous Fire lvl1/Q0 + Concentrated Effect lvl21/Q20 + Increased Area of Effect lvl20/Q23 + Increased Burning DMG lvl21/200

Leveling RF is not required, Conc.Effect & Inc.Burning just level to 20, quality does not affect us, only Gem that should be 20/20 endgame is Inc.Area of Effect

Auras



Purity of Fire & Grace

Other Options:



Vitality or Determination or Arctic Armor

Movement

Depending on the attack speed of you weapon of choice:

NO IMAGE YET :(

Lighting Warp lvl20/Q23 + Less Duration lvl20/Q23 + Blood Magic lvl21/Q0

OR



Leapslam lvl1/Q23 + Faster Attacks lvl20/Q23 + Blood Magic lvl21/Q0

Defensice Setup:



CWDT lvl10/Q0 + Molten Shell lvl15/Q0 + Immortal Call lvl12/Q0

Depending on your life pool you can level increase the level of CWDT...




LEVELING

Before you can use RF, your character has to meet some level-requirements.
The most important Item for our build is:

Rise of the Phoenix
so we need to get form 1 to 65.

In my opinion the fastest and easiest way to level with a tanky Marauder is using:

Facebreaker



Now unequipp your weapon and just melt your way though the content by just punching mobs using:



Ice Crash + Melee Physical Damage + Faster Attacks + (Blood Magic)--> Elrond Rings

My Level-Gear on Warbands



Why I choose Facebreaker?

Facebreaker enable you to dish out high DPS just by adding:

>> 2xRing with as much adds + physical DMG as possible

>> Amult with as much adds + physical DMG as possible
(to start u can even buy iron rings @ Nessa and transmute em ;D)

>> No passives except Resolute Technique needed

>> No weapons needed

Recommended Farming Zones:

Act 1: Ledge

Act 2: Chamber of Sins (Fellshrine Ruins for easy mode)

Act 3: City of Sarn

Act 4: The Aqueduct

Skilltrees:

Resolute Technique is a great passive for leveling, but will get refunded for the final build





Bandits:
Normal: Help Oak for +40 Life
Cruel: Kill all for +1 Skillpoint
Merciless: Help Kraityn for +1 Frenzy Charge

IMPORTANT TIP:
Please don´t forget to take the following Gems with you while leveling to get em ready for use with level 65! The list is sorted by relevance. (Minimum of 6 gems can always be leveled easy in your secondary equip!!!)

1. Purity of Fire
2. Concentrated Effect
3. Increased Area of Effect
4. Elemental Weakness
5. Flammability
6. Increased Burning Damage

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Is this build still viable after Patch 1.2.0?

Yes ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojDRWhv3mYk&list=UUnOu9mwc-xmbA4_d7k414YQ
With curse on hit and double curse from passives even buffed to no longer required 6l + unique or corrupted amulet for double curse and now also Kaoms as endgame option leaving you @ >10k life


Snapshotting is nerfed?


Check this out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XZg9teZvps

If you still feel like you got to low DPS just replace ur main-hand with:

So all u miss are 110% from one scepter + ur guardian.
PRO.: No more time wasted by snapshotting + gear is now even cheaper ;D


I´m level 65 and swapped to RF, but when i turn it on my life goes down!?

Check your level of Purity of Fire, under lvl 17 it only provides 2% extra fireresistance
cheap temporary solution


On witch gems quality is most important?

Core:
- Q20 LifeGainOnHit provide nice bonus "leech"
- Q20 EleWeakness provides great 10% more reduction
- Q20 IncAreaEffect provides nice AoE bonus

Optional: (just level till 20 and vendore + gcp for Q20, level again ;D)
- Q20 IncDuraton --> more duration
- Q20 ImmortalCall --> longer immortal
- Q20 Enduring Cry --> more charges (inc area mobs count)
- Q20 Curse on Hit --> nice 10% more effectiveness of curses
- Q20 Cyclone --> more area --> more hit --> more life
- Q20 FasterAttacks --> faster leapslam

Useless: (no effect with Q that we benefit from)
- incBruningDmg
- ConcEffect
- RF --> also leveling has no effect --> i lvl up to 20 and sell, replace with lvl1 repeat:)
- Auras --> just aoe increase not worth it
- RedMana --> doesn't effect auras
- Bloodmagic
- flamability
- leapslam


I just have a 5L, what would you link?

cyclone + bm + lifeHit + curseHit + eleWeakness

For 2nd curse there are some options (don't forget a unique with +1 max curse):

a) CWDT + Icenova + high level Curse on hit + high level Flamability

b) CWDT + low level Flamability/Vuln

c) Corrupted Gloves with vuln/eleWeakness on hit


I degen in Vulnarability Maps, help?

I personally have no problem, with a slow degen in those Maps, but if u want to sustain this curse:

1. swap 5x least effective nodes on the tree for 0.4% lifereg nodes


2. use any +3 level of fire gems weapon, for purity of fire level 23 --> 5% max fireres
This also works with a corrupted 21 Purity of fire & +2 firegems/auragems items
Best would be a scepter for leapslaming, aps 1.7+ for LifeGainOnHit, ias 20%+ for leapslamspeed, +3/2 firegems, perfectly some NON fire ele dmg & resist ;D

Alternative weapons that work with this build?

Feel free to use any weapon you prefer most with this build, here are some examples:

Nice 60% resist + 50% ias for fast leapslams

Very high 180% resist, will make gearing up early very easy

Any Weapon with high aps(2.16 max), and a long range will grant u nice LifeGainOnHit + decent leapslaming speed --> EleDMG is nice for procing Equilibrium BUT NO fire DMG!!!

for 10% increased AoE

70 str --> 35 life on a weapon + %dmg for str

Replace BM with Blind or even do the triple curse on hit with vuln or defensive cursing like enfeeble or temp-chains


Do you got IR/IQ Gear?

Yes I have decent rarity farming gears, i just replace my normal setup with:



What Mods effect RF DPS?

baseDPS = 50% of ur Life+ES

Multiplied by "Increased Damage" factors:
-Elemental
-Fire
-Burning
-Area
-Over Time
-Increased Dmg

Multiplied by "More Damage" factors:
-More DMG from ConcEffect (<-- lvl dat shit!)
-Enemy FireResist --> the more u penetrate by Curses + Equilibrium the better!


How did you craft your Amulet?

Just Vaal any Amulet-base with at least some life/resist or any stats u like.
The implicit Value so the TOP value will be replaced by additional curse with much LUCK.

WARNING!!! This roll is extremely rare, so I had to try more than 70 amulets!!!

Well written, Nolifer.
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

I respecced into this build and I'm having fun with it so far. I've only had a couple "Oh sh**" moments.

I wanted to ask if Divinarius would be better than brightbeak?

@Deimsify

For weapons feel free to use what ever you like more.
It´s all personal preference, but i can share some thoughts:


50% increased attack speed for leapslam

60& all resist for cheaper gearing & leveling
Divinarius (link will followsoon)
10% inc AOE

=> Any fast/widerange weapon --> faster attacks give more Life gain on Hit + range covers greater AOE hitting more mobs at the same time

=> Any spell/firedmg/castspeed for boosting antitotem flameblast

=> As soon as the snapchatting is fixed i would definitively use:

GG 110% EleDmg + Eleprolif support for Flameblast or any other totemclear, even if I would really appreciate fixing that RF not dealing dmg to totems. I don't think it`s meant to be, rather a side effect of totems being immune to aura-effects.
