Hello I've seen that Necro doesn't take Iron Reflexes path (growth and decay cluster, etc) like ORO's build. Is this an improvement? He takes Master of the arena path. Can someone please provide feedback on this because i'm new to the LEFT part of the tree and I want to do RF and don't know anything regarding the subject.

Hello, I don't take IR because I go full strength, armour and endurance charges which together helps you get to the 90% physical damage reduction. As for going IR I can't really say anything about it as I haven't tried it myself, maybe someone else can share some experiences. Also there is a lot of information regarding RF on the forums, etc..GL!

So I've been trying this build out. I have 2 ruby flasks. I was really wondering how you kill things that take long to kill. Like say there is a boss, and I obviously have 4 ruby flask uses to recover hp. How do you deal with these things if you don't deal enough damage yet? A lot of times I find myself just running out of flasks and I have to port back to town.

Hello, tbh I never really had a problem killing anything including bosses. HP, curses and EE will boost your damage significantly, you can also use SB totem to get more damage. GL!

Playing an arc lightning witch atm and the shock stacking is tremendously effective, I'll implement it again to this build soon and see how it goes. Arc is a lot more viable now to proc EE as it chains more times

Tree

Still have to lvl up a some, from there I'll go for dual curse.

Cheers!

Thx necro for the response cheers!

Hello there birdie! What kind of hybrid? 2h ST and 1h + rotp on weapon swap and use ST only for bosses without RF on, or just 2H with crown of eyes for a dmg boost? Sounds like a cool idea :D

Yes you nailed it right on spot. Except that I didn't think of CoE, may need to get one when I have sufficient currencies.

Would you have a build in mind, it can be theorycraft so at least I can try it out or reroll a new toon to test-drive it.ヾ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉﾞ♪

Seems the new flame surge ability would pair well with RF.

I was thinking of that line as well. Wonder how it interacts? (✿◕‿◕)

Hmm well if you're gonna use RF a good part of your passives is spent in life, regen, etc which might prove hard to get a 2h in there on swap wrt to dmg, speed, etc.

An idea might be go for fire and burn damage passives and use avatar of fire but this loses you EE which is a huge dmg boost for any RF build. Another idea will be using Oro's sacrifice with again fire and burn passives. Something like this?: ST/RF

Passives synergise well with ST burn dmg oriented, iron grip, lots of fire and burn damage, some dot dmg and RT, only 7,1 life regen tho but some regen passives around in case that would be too low.

Hello, dunno tbh, RF doesn't really need a damage boost and with the spell you'd lose EE :/

Loving this build! I think IR opens up a lot more options for armor and damage reduction, it's working well for me. That route also let me add a frenzy charge to get full use of the Blood Dance boots.

Arc linked to Elemental Proliferation, Life Leech and Blood Magic lets me get some life back from crowds while applying shock stacks and triggering EE.

I managed to max my resists and still have room for Doedre's Damning to slap rares and bosses with Elemental Weakness as well as Flammability, which makes a huge difference.

Probably my fastest character to hit 70. Thanks for the build!

Wow! This build looks amazing... But I see you're in a different league.

Is this build alright to play in standard?

Hello, nice to hear you're having fun with the build! :)

Yes after the arc boost (more chains) it is probably the best way to proc EE due to the shock stacks. The best damage boosts for RF (and I guess every elemental build) are curses, EE, and shock stacks

My thoughts on dexterity and IR on this build:
WRT to IR opening more options for damage reduction in my experience going for armor alone, determination and endurance charges has better results. Hybrid gear is also harder to have the desired armour and evasion rolls.

About the blood dance unique, life regeneration from it is good but the drawbacks are too bad, you give up armour, 100+ life and resistances. I don't count skill points as you can use the boots without IR (for 150 armour I wouldn't even bother).

As for IR, to me, the points can be better spent in other passives, also investing 6 points to get to thick skin from IR sunks its effectivity to not even 6% hp per node, because unfortunately the dex nodes along the way do absolutely nothing for the build.

Again these are my thoughts, in the end it's anyone's choice!

Hello, definetly! Every RF build can be played in standard, you can even go more offence based as dying is an "option" :)

GL!
