Necro's The Mitigator righteous fire invasion build

Would you prefer this mitigation-based RF build or a more standard RF build that stacks life + life regen (i.e. Oro's build) for ultra-high level content?
It seems both styles have strengths and weaknesses, but I'm not good enough to pinpoint what exactly those strengths and weaknesses are.

Hello, I played in nemesis with a life stack based RF character and it was extremely fun and effective. I started invasion making a build like that but changed to something different as I wanted to see if it would be possible to make a very tanky character while having good DPS.

This build focuses more on the defensive as Invasion is a pretty hard league, but it has a few downsides main one being that it takes real late game to get all the goodies, 6 auras, very high elemental and physical mitigation, etc..also the damage will not be as high as other RF builds. So far it's working quite ok, I've done content with this character that I would have to rethink many times to do with the other and the thought that there are more rewards as I level other than stacking more life makes it more interesting for me.

In the end to everyone his choice :)

Cheers!

Well it was fun while it lasted. Met apparatus in a 69 map even while trying ot ding next level, got locked in a door popped all flasks and it was not even close to being close, down in less than a second. Pretty silly considering that the rest of the content was pretty manageable, this was not a chance of survival. Don't know if I'll reroll, I was leveling a MF char on the sidelines and I'll focus on that for now.

Cheers!

Thanks mate. BTW I got confused with the names and it was not judgement apparatus vaal construct but the vaal metalsmith what killed me, basically got trapped between totems while going through a door and it must have been the cold damage totems because after pots fire I'm inmune, lightning got 94% resistance and physical 90% with 20k armour of which 68% flat mitigation with 6 endurance charges and lightning coil. I guess it makes sense if the artic breaths all gunshoot.

Well decided to reroll because the theory behind the build is sound. Only difference now is I will not go RF until I can keep it up with Safell's and got all auras working and leveled up. In the later levels I will use a combination of sb with ek, I'll level up again with dual sb.

Good thing is I still have my power leveling staves :)

Started leveling again, @46 right now. I will update the guide too with the leveling steps. Decided to go triple purity and get lightning coil asap for the physical reduction and skip the armour passives.

We'll see how this goes take 2

Hey!

I'm a more classical RF build here in Invasion, and it's been fun following your attempts. If you need help leveling or rushing, let me know. :)

Hello, I got setup already, now I'll do some piety/vaal farming and get some currency for the rotp later.

Gear


79 points

86% res all
5 end charges, will get the last one soon
3k8 life

Using sb until now and it is quite ok and feeling quite tanky with not that much life.

im also using light coil + purity of lightning on my RF templar, but how do u get enough life regen? ur tree doesnt have much

i see ure playing as searing bond at the moment, so this build will only work if u got +1max res amulet and armor, as well as corrupted aura gems+high lvl? did u already get RF running with ur tree or did u have more life regen on that video?
