[HC] Righteous Fire Marauder (Ampiii lv. 89) Useless as of 0.11.0!

**I've added my updated spec to the bottom of the guide, that being said everything in the old guide is still relevant and useful for beginners.**


I've had a lot of people asking me about my build lately so I figured I'd make a quick guide outlining the basics. This is by no means an accessible build to play for the vast majority of players but I find it highly enjoyable to play with adequate gear.

The basic idea of the build is to stack hp/regen to sustain righteous fire as well as use ice nova as a filler attack for proccing elemental equilibrium and leeching life. Also use EK in the off weapon slot for maps that I'm unable to do as RF. (50% regen, no regen, -max resist, fire resist)

Rise of the Phoenix!:



With the new unique shield, righteous fire no longer degenerates at a rate faster than you can regen. You'll take 8% of your hp/s and regen 8.9% with the recommended spec.

Inner force math:



Items:




Off weapon: (Really needs to be replaced by a 6L staff, this is temporary)



Flasks:




Abilities:

Righteous Fire: Increased AoE

Whirling Blades: Faster Attacks

Elemental Weakness: Blood Magic

Grace: Blood Magic

Vitality, Determination, Purity *Very important that this is level 20*: Reduced Mana

Ice Nova: Iron Will, Blood Magic, Life Leech

Ethereal Knives: Faster Projectiles, Blood Magic, Faster Casting, Iron Will, Added Fire Damage (switch in life leech for no regen maps instead of Added Fire Damage)

Reccomended Spec:

This is a near max build, you'll have to sacrifice 0.8% regen, amplify, resist or some hp nodes to make it work at lower levels.

Elemental Equilibrium:

Proccing this on mobs with ice nova increases the dps of RF drastically, especially against high resist mobs. Using it combined with Elemental Weakness makes mobs die incredibly quickly. It might not be a good idea to use in groups depending on the set up you guys are running. (lowers pure cold dmg by a bit)

Bandit Rewards:

Help Oak, Kill, Kill

In Game Stats:

Righteous Fire: Dps is half of my hp so ~6.6k
Ice Nova: ~1k dps (gems are only level 17-19)
EK: ~4k dps (gems are only level 17-19)

HP: 13160
Armour: 11k
Resist: 92% fire, 84% all (fire overcap), 17% chaos
HP/s: 1080
Chance to Block: 26
Enemy Critical Strike Damage Multiplier Reduction: 30%
Movement Speed: 22%

Levelling:

You can use any of the typical ways to level, I'd recommend poison arrow/ground slam at lower levels and ground slam/EK at higher levels up til 68 where you can switch to using righteous fire.

**Updated Spec and Stats:**


I'm not sure if I've missed anything but if there are any questions I can update my guide.

The best looking build I've ever seen, jump into enemies and melt them with fire and water!

haha saw you pvping against kripparian yesterday. I think he was being hypocritical, he called you out for running while he ran as well when things got tough. Anyways, great build and good dps, just very vulnerable if u get ele cursed.

:) Yeah I found his comments funny as well. I'm about to get overcapped on fire resist so it won't be an issue anymore thankfully.

Could you make a video showing off this build and how good it is in pvp?

I already made a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE0SH0AiHT4) though it's a little outdated, I might make an updated one soon though.

Get Elemental Equilibrium and activate it through Ice Nova, Righteous Fire doesn't trigger EE so it will keep the -50% fire res on. The +25% cold res won't be much of a problem, since you use Ice Nova only to leech a low amount of life.

Yeah I never thought that it would work that way with ele equilibrium, thanks for the idea.

Holy Crapola!! what about on Merc Vaal, just stand there?

Well, i'm guessing you'd run around him in a circle, you still wouldnt want a Vaalslam to the face.
