Not true.

Not quite. At level 17 it gives +3 to max fire res (+4 with the bonus to auras), and at 20 you gain +4 (+5 with aura bonus). And only at +5 will you be fully self-sustaining.
But yeah, you can survive with a level 17.

For those interested, I'm selling all my perfect RF gear, since I'm building a new character. Avg 70k RF DPS + cycloe with life gain on hit built in. Can solo anything, really. All gears are perfect.

Finally made the switch to RF...played in a 6man Lunaris 3 Party and was able to clear rare+champ mobs solo...also only had to cast RF once, even though I lose life with RF(It takes me over 3 minutes to die though)
My Gear

-Once I get gloves with high Life+STR...I should have 6k Life.
-And I don't really need my rings/ammy for resists due to Aurum...so I can get higher life and STR on those for even more...then Belly of the Beast should out class my 109 Life Chest.


...makes me wonder how in the YT vid, OP only has 8150 Life even with Kaom's!

So, this is my current build

I have decided not to take RT nor End charges. First isn't needed and I never get more than the 4 end charges I can have build up anyways.

So what do I do with my skill points now? - I have 5 saved up. There are still 4 8% life nodes I can take, but I am not convinced they will add much.

I think the best I can do is go for Blast Radius in Witch tree, but it is 7 nodes away.
I could use some alternatives, please :)

Every 8% life node would add over 100 Life for me...

...Never a bad choice.

-I'm sitting at 6156 Life right now...hopefully will be able to upgrade jewelry.

Why do you spec into EE? does it work when you hit with your cyclone with some elemental damage? and does EE stack with your curse?

As long as you have some form of Lightning or Cold damage on a ring/ammy/gloves...Cyclone will proc EE on mobs to subtract 50% fire res from them.(And yes, it stacks with curses)

What I use...I should get about 6500 Life when I get higher Life and STR on all items.

---Question of my own...Is flammability better then Vulnerability once it subtracts higher amounts of Fire Res?

Hey
Great guide! However there is one thing I don't get. Do you swap your weapons to activate RF and than swap back? Does that work?
