You make a note in there about Searing Touch being used. How is that holding up without having Rise of the Phoenix in this build?

The Searing Touch is used on weapon swap to cast RF with +2 from the weapon as well as the burning damage and spell damage increase that now work or RF without burning the player for more damage. Once RF is on you swap back to Rise of the Phoenix and your weapon. The aura section in my video show this if you want to see.

So you get the additional damage from Searing Touch with RF, then you swap back and it maintains the damage from Searing Touch? Clever.

Yeah, it appears that is the case, it does more damage then I remember. I haven't tested, but everyone else does it as well so it must work.

Same as zombies/spectres, casting them snapshots the stats you have at the time, then you can switch items.

So the additional regen from the endurance charge passive along with the frenzy charge boots is enough to sustain RF through Vulnerability mods? I haven't been man enough to even try a vuln map on my RF, is the degen manageable if your charges drop off between packs?

Yeah the extra regen makes vulnerability maps easy, if the charges drop off I think I drop about 1-2% life regen, I haven't don't the calcs but vulnerability makes you take 40% more DoT so the 9.3% life degen goes to 13% so when I have full charges I have 3.7% life regen over capped.

Which means without full charges I degen 2.5%.

If all the charges drop off I merely pop a ruby flash to be 100% immune to fire and then attack and life leech til I get frenzy charges or hit something with my frenzy attack.

I've heard that using 2 redbeaks gives more actual damage than using a searing touch - can someone confirm/deny this?

Redbeak gives 200% increased damage.

Searing Touch gives 90% Fire damage and 70% Burning damage, so a total of 160%.

The Searing Touch does let you use a 4-5L though, but you can still get Increased Burning Damage and AOE supports in a 3L.

I happen to have a 6-link searing touch. So my question is, for my situation, would the searing touch give me more dmg than the 2 redbeaks? Idk what I would put in the sockets for the 6 link if I did use it

I guess you could link Iron Will, that would give around 120% spell damage if you have 600 strength, I'm not exactly sure if that affects righteous fire though... should probably test it.

The other support that may work is Culling Strike for x% increased damage and cast speed, but I also can't remember if that works with RF either.

If you happen to have an enhance as well as empower that would work to add quality to RF increasing your spell damage by a bit.

Hi, I've started to develop a character using this build, I'm level 63 or so so far, so still got a while to go :P

I'm currently working towards attaining gear similar to yours, would it be possible to link your Searing Touch in your current gear?
