[1.2.0] Rampage/Beyond - Exiled Fiery Dragons (self-found / newbie friendly / hc tested)

I am new to this game and recently rushed this build to level 45 thanks to some gear from a friend. I was thinking about keeping my Searing Touch permanenty, is there a downside to using it? Also using this robe. Advice please?

Spoiler

Concerning searing bond, its all down to preference. For me I dont like lack of customization in terms of gems support and that it was/is a flavor thing... but really, its very good.

Searing touch is very good offensive wise, downsides are really only that you dont have shield and its benefits... as for soul mantle I really dont like it, unless going for spell totem build with all warding flasks, just dmg isnt worth the downside, but thats me.

As for the tree, this one works, just pick burn dmg like holy fire, inc burn dmg gem etc. and dont need that much mana regen at all unless going AA as well. But with searing Id go Iron reflexes and grace.

Wandering which pieces of tree are best left out in order to get holy fire. Where would be least harmful to replace with holy fire?

Thanks for the feedback by the way

Just remove EB/witch side of the tree, get holy fire, growth and decay, IR and life nodes along the way. Get on grace, get 40% inc evasion nodes (30+10). Since you won't have trouble with mana cost of the skill. Run Grace and whatever other aura you like, maybe even determination, or purity of el. Can go marauder for max res. and some aura nodes and run purity of X for high el. res that is a good addition to high armor.

EDIT: This means ofc, no discipline/AA/MoM... but going armor and high max res should ofset that. Can add clarity and mana regen on gear for MoM if want.

So, just beat the game for the first time and ran my first map. All at lvl 64. I haven't even equipped the lvl 60 flask yet :P This guide is one of the best, and this build is incredible. I started off with a little currency, and bought a %110 spell damage wand in act 2 merc, and a 4l chest i'll link below, everything else was self found. I recommend if you have currency to buy the highest spell damage wand you can. The mobs literally melt. I beat piety in like less than 2 minutes. In game my dps is 1245. I also have yet to use any auras. HP=2430 Mana=1087. Resist are maxed. Total Deaths =16. Most of them are due to me wanting to learn rogue exile fights in the 1 month SC.

My gear after I finished the game and ran my first map.

Also I have prob 2 ex or more in currency so if you guys have any suggestions to increase my drops/ survival and help me solo maps please pm me.

So I need help, my items are.. lacking. Maxed res but little to no armor. I'm not sure which pieces to replace first or what to replace them with. Any ideas? Also I decided to not change my passive tree and to follow his build.


Also as soon as I get 62 I will replace my armor with this

Most builds get their armor through grace, or... pure heavy armor on all items + dex... You can do that by going down, getting IR... or getting armor in general on gear, but that armor rating would be so miniscule it would be irrelevant as far as Im concerned.

You are using Searing Touch which is ok... Soul mantle is crap for anything other than a spell totem build, as for Infernal mantle, dmg wise its great, and since you it seems arent going MoM it should be fairly easy never going low mana. So that ES on it is a great buffer, so you can see if you can just run grace and clarity and X lvl AA without discipline (still getting EB). Because without aura nodes adding discipline means low mana. Also be careful if actually using AA as if you overlevel it and not playing careful, youll risk going low life, which can kill you at spell bosses where armor from IR grace isnt gonna help at all. But AA is good so I suggest you try and make it work.

But all that aside, as I said in the vid... I feel no need for armor, high lvl AA 18+ does wonders... my personal suggestion is, get Cloak of Def if you can, get Disc + Clarity going. Can keep Seaering touch, but I personally prefer Wand/sceptre + shield combo, due to more defensive play. Thats the base which should be enough, if its not, get Rathpiths + Rainbowstrides + Anvil and templar block nodes, which will be along the lines of 55% block and 50% spellblock, with Romis Concoction its almost maxed block... Can add to that tempest shield but I wouldnt, and shadow block cluster near ghost reaver. Buuuut... I still feel simple Cloak of Defiance high AA route (still can use Iron Skin Granites= is enough and warp for repositioning. Can see to add grace/IR by getting templar mana red. nodes but... your choice.

Thank you man am clearing maps like a pro am level 76 now and this is my gear:


I have 1900 dps using GMP and my gems are still level 17 so i might get even higher dps, my hp is 3200 thanks again

Do you keep leveling up Clarity or do you stop at a certain number?
Without my reduced mana gem I was barely able to use FT with 4L.

Currently level 43 btw.
