Zeno's MF Righteous Fire 1.0.6

up

"

I use flameblast - conc effect - blood magic to destroy the ice portals during the fight, it speeds up the fight immensely imo

I can +1 this. I use the same thing, found the idea in the McPillar RF Guide, great for ice portals and totems when farming maps. A tip for 80+ characters as well is to look over pathing. When i reached lvl 82 i was able to respec pathing towards IR by keeping going right after Sentinel notable. It got me right next to 4x8% life nodes, 1 point away from the 2x8+18% life nodes plus enough points to either get the fire dmg nodes or the life nodes top left.

This change frees up 14 points and gives you:
+66% %HP
Higher dexterity (to run high level grace and some pure dex gear)
Fire dmg + life regen OR Even more hp + chaos res.

The thing you lose is the 3xArmor nodes and 26%hp and 1% life regen.

The difference in armor is negilible after higher grace levels, the increased life together with regen from fire nodes actually increased my life regen (have 90% fire res through lvl 20 purity). Plus increased damage from both higher life and fire dmg.

Not sure if that change is possible unless you have 90% fire res though.

But what skill do you give up on if you use flameblast, because in this build, all item's sockets are used.

ATM, I'm using:
helm: CWDT-decoy totem-Enduring Cry-Immortal Call
boot: CWDT-ice nova (for EE trigger)-flmmability-increased AoE
gloves: auras
shield: lighning warp-reduced duration-BM
aurum: ST-IIR-Culling strike

Chest is RF, ofc.

I really don't see anything I could give up here in order to use flameblast.

It is. Currently, I have 88% resist and am running 1.5% positive regen and have been contemplating the same swap. I haven't pulled the trigger yet since as it stands I can run elemental weakness maps without issue (life slowly drains then pops up on flask use), and the extra 1% loss might make it a little rough.

Can't you get a Reaper's Pursuit in offhand to use as your culling skill? That frees up aurumvorax for flameblast, although rolling RBB on it will be a challenge.

I'd likely remove cwdt and flammability on boots, put in conc effect and flameblast, probably remove increased AoE to blood magic. Dont see the point in using EE skill on cwdt, just use it as self casting. culling chould be in off-hand, with either stormsail or reaper's pursuit. If you really feel strapped for room you can always snapshot RF in one chest, and use another chest with flameblast in.

I use dual Redbeaks for snapshotting. I find the dmg otherwise sort of meh. I really don't want to get rid of that.

The only possible thing you guys mentioned would for me be snapshotting RF with swapping chests. Will think about it, but I'll probably wait until 1.1 to see what changes are coming. This build maybe won't be as good at all after 1.1, so I'd hate wasting currency on it. Still not "insanely" rich, playing for 2.5 months, so every ex matters.

Getting rid of CWDT with EE trigger and flammability is also something I'm not that inclined to do, because the build is sort of squishy (cause of MF gear), and I've been in a lot of situations where killing things 2x or 3x times faster thanks to EE proc + flam combo saved my life. If I got rid of all the MF gear and made this into a pure RF tank (which I do for PvP fun), flameblast would make more sense.

Btw, anyone found a good way to use Divination distillate for piety runs? I usually douse during red phase-> swap cull when she turns back. Is a real pain to have distillate running at same time

EDIT: Figured it out, just turn off 1-2 auras then pop distillate

I just swap weapon to get my Reaper's Pursuit. That way, you lose lots of resist, and I degen with RF still up. So I can pop my Divination Distillate and cull Piety.

I have a dousing flask which I was previously using, but I like my way better (might not be the best :) ). Also, I wait until Piety is in fire form or just ends forst/fire form to not get killed by lightning spells. Its probably slower, but I find it easier.

Zeno, you gonna update passive tree for 1.1 if build stays viable?
