now i understrand :D

u talk about a RF/PA build, what is with PA/CI ? in my opinion a lot safer because 30% less dmg, only burns 1 es/sec and 20% more survive (that new ES node)

which build do u preffer for pvp? your rf/pa build or a CI/rf one?

anyway a really interesting build! maybe, if its really fine for pvp also i will go for it.

how does rf mechanics work? does i have it recast only 1 time after every map change? or is it like blood rage?

/E wtf shavronne's is soo expensive.. allmost like kaoms plate would u say to chance occultists vestments is a good idea?

and me? :D

Pain Attunement and Chaos Inoculation
PA / CI Wouldn't work since PA requires you to be on 'low health', CI sets your Max health to 1, which means you will always be at max health, therefore you would never receive the benefit.

Righteous Fire and Chaos Inoculation
RF Also wouldn't work with CI, it just cancels as soon as you cast it, else it would be incredibly overpowered. This is due to the spell ending when you reach 1 HP, and since CI sets your HP to 1, it cancels.

Righteous Fire Mechanics
RF you generally cast once per run ( Almost like an aura ) if you can maintain the burn damage, as Aimlessgun said in his RF / PA Guide, Running Vitality ( With Zealot's Oath ) / Ghost Reaver and High Life Leech ( From the gem etc ), will allow you to keep it up the entire length of a run. However, I'm currently using the RF / PA build on my 76 Shadow and I currently don't have the sockets to run Vitality or the Talent ' Zealot's Oath ' so I have to take care in maps to avoid mobs if my ES Runs low ( I'm at 200 Health due to Pain Attunement ), if I don't get the regen / leech, I generally run to the back, allow RF to take me down to 1 hp, regen my hp and wait for my ES to recharge before turning it on again and jumping back in.

Shavronne's?
Currently I'm too poor to buy a Shavronne's. Though it is undoubtedly the best chest in game for this kind of build, it's not 100% Necessary. So long as you keep the fact that a chaos damage mob WILL kill you if you aren't careful or if you don't have very high chaos resist and play accordingly, this build works a charm on a "Relatively" low budget. I've spent around 4 - 5 Exalts on actual gear, though some I've self found.

I hope this helps.

My Current Gear, for Those who may be Wondering :

Have problems on - max resist/elemental reflect maps with blood magic it makes it worse, since I have to turn off my auras. Solution?

Blood magic is terrible and not a mod you can solo :p

Bump for amazing build!

Hi.

Can I go CI with this build? only just because the chaos immunity seemed inviting, or is it a bad idea? or if i do decide to go CI i have to loose those life node? sorry.. I'm like 4 days old in this game mechanic-wise.

Thanks. :) very nice guide btw.

What's with the Arctic Breath? o_0

(I run a similar Pure Life RF+FP Build, not much unlike Ampiii's, though I'd been musing the idea long before Rise of the Phoenix was released, had fingers crossed each update for a Unique that'd let that character work :P)

Is this build viable without raise zombie?

CI would be a very different build yes, you have to take out all the life nodes and put them in ES nodes.

Just leveling stuff I think would be interesting to try :)

Yes. Raise Zombie is a helpful crutch you can use in particularly difficult areas or if your gear isn't doing so well, but it's not integral to the build.

Loose the life nodes, got it. thank you for responding. one more thing, is it ok to run this build on hardcore? i read somewhere (in one of the threads here i think) that this build is somewhat of a "glass cannon" and rolling with it in HC will be a bit more challenging without the proper gear. Last question i promise. :) thanks.
