Quantity or Rarity support gems work with RF ?

Yes they do and IIQ snaps, and I assume IIR snaps too but I haven't tested it. BTW this is all in the guide mate

For the moment I'm focusing on another RF build, altho RF will be ON late into the build so I won't update this one as much. For those interested: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/842382 This one is definetly better off starting as marauder

Cheers!

I can confirm IIR gem does work on snapshot.

Great thanks for the info Mondo :)

don't let this die...awesome builds here

is there anyone try this build with CI?

Hi! I have a few questions before I start leveling as this character:

1) MF viable? Im talking 200+ IIR and ~20 IIQ.
2) Are the leveling trees up to date?
3) Class differences between marauder and scion?
4) Should I be able to level as 2H spec throw?

1) Perfectly viable. I run with around 200 IIR, no IIQ because I don't have any decent IIQ equip (IIQ equip is quite shitty after patches). It is "easily" possible to get 300+ IIR, because with snapshoting only things you are interested in on items are defensive propeteries (HP, armor, res) and as you don't need weapon (+2 fire gem is quite helpful though, if you don't have 20 lvl Purity of Fire), you can run with Aurumvorax for cheap 60% ele res.
2) It is, leveling tree was without doubt done after 1.1.0 patch.
3) Almost none, just stats difference (32/14/14, 20/20/20) and one more passive point if you decide to skip +10 hp scion starting node. If you want to level with Searing Bond, then it is far easier as Scion (probably).
4) Look at passive skill tree and think whether it is possible to find nodes helping with leveling using ST. Because of similiarity between RF and SB, I think that leveling with SB is the easiest.

As a side note, if you want to make RF be prepared for nerf. It's very possible that snapshoting issue will be resolved in future, and snapshoting is huge help for this build.


About CI: if you ask for RF in general, then it is possible, but I can't see a point in taking CI. High ES/low life builds on the other hand are quite interesting, you get more auras, because you run them on your life, and can use 'when on low life' mechanic (like Pain Attunement for example). You should play as witch then though.
