Has anyone done shaper with this build?

I'm obsessed with RF atm and have just picked up shavs. Not sure if I should jump straight into this build or have a muck about with something else first.

I have attended Chimera and Minotaur with this build, both wrecked me. Zero chance.

Hi Yalani!

It's the second time i'm doing this build.. and is pretty awesome for my playstyle...

One question if you could answer..

With the new Eye of Chayula (Presence) and a Solaris Lorica we can manage this build while wait for Shav's?

Really?

I did all 4 guardians last league with a life based RF marauder with 7.5k life and 1.55k/s life regen with charges, I would have thought this build would teabag all of the guardians by virtue of having twice the damage and twice the lifepool?

I admit the Labyrinth Map (Minotaur) was pretty rippy sick one. In the Chimera run, the Map had the mod with -20% regen to all (from Prophecy, where you use Orb of Transmutation on a map) and this was the main problem, as I couldn't sustain RF in the arena without mobs. But even when Chimera spawned his snakes, I couldn't kill one of them.

So I kind of gave up right now. You say Shaper and all Guardians are possible (even in pussy rare corrupted mapsm without hard mods)?

I never did shaper. I tried it once myself and after 3 deaths I got someone else to come in and finish it for me, but I did the other 4 guardians np. The only one that had deaths was the Phoenix - 2 deaths within the last 20% of his life.

I thought the LL version would do these way quicker due to the bigger damage output but maybe I'm underestimating the value of a juggernauts physical defenses in these situations?

Looks like both builds are basically capable of the same content then, just in different ways.

So im fully aware of how righteous fire shouldnt be able to apply leech because leech only applies to hit effects and RF is degen BUT ive noticed something kinda weird.

I noticed that my ES was regening faster when running into packs of monsters by a drastic amount than when im simply kiting and waiting for it do so. I notice this only with doryanis equipped, which happens to have a small bit of elemental leech. That leech is also listed under RF's section in your characters dps sheet by spell when you press c.

Am i just going crazy or can RF actually leech now? Or perhaps its a bug?

There must be something else at play. perhaps a curse or item granting ES on kill ? Not sure of the cause but I am pretty sure it isn't RF. I tested every which way with my doryani and I can't see that it
is leeching.

Do you have an ascendency node that gives regen on kill/hit?

To anyone that is still playing this build in 2.5; have you tested Scorching ray with RF?

I am looking for some advise.

Ok, so, here are my changes. I put Scorching ray in a 6L and moved RF to a 4L (removed Burning Damage Gem). Sure I lost some dps for the trash mobs but they still melt instantly without the Burning Damage gem. For those tougher bosses, what I lose in dps from RF I gain four times the amount from Scorching Ray. Plus it adds another -24 fire res to boss.

I'm hoping you guys could help me decide on the best gems to use with scorching Ray. My current set up is for max DPS; however, seeing that SR is a support skill and not my main skill maybe I should use increased Dur and/or faster casting to get that -24 fire res faster and keep it longer?

Here is my current gem selection:

6L : Scorching Ray - Spell Totem - Elemental Focus - Controlled Destruction - Rapid Decay - Empower

This gives me 25.7k tooltip (Level 18 SR gem) which is 689k dps with 8 stacks. The issue though is bosses that move around. I am thinking inc. Duration might be better than empower. so I have more time to recast the totem when it dies or the bosses moves outa reach. Even faster casting might be nice so it can hit max stacks faster..

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Edit: Okay, was testing in t15 maps before i made the post. In t16+ the spell totem dies too fast. Reverting to self cast.

Edit2: Self cast is easy mode. Much more SR dps (~ 950k) and so far I can keep 8 stacks up 100% with increased duration gem. Increased Dur is a must. It gives more time to move around, cast curse, use skill to activate EO+EE (for me that is shield charge).

Thanks for the answer! I'm still working on a Solarica (3 blues and sockets -.-)

I just got one Energy from Within, i don't think it worth now...
