[2.2]Chieftain Flame Surge + Righteous Fire (Cheap/Tanky/High DPS)
 Hi everyone, at the beginning sorry about my english, its my second language, but i hope you will understand me. Basic informations
Spoiler
Your main skill is Flame Surge
you makes 50% more damage to burning enemys, it works perfect with Righteous Fire RF burning enemys around you, increasing damage by flame surge + gives you more spell damage. Of course RF makes huge damage based on your life increased dps in this build Skill tree
Spoiler
My current lvl skill tree (73lvl), as you can see lot of increased life left
Final skill tree Ascendancy class
Spoiler
Chieftain -> Tawhoa + Ngamahu + Hinekora huge life renen, increased damage, fire penetration, life leech with flame surge There are two important keystones
Spoiler
Sovereignty
Spoiler
 with Alpha's Howl and 4 reduced mana it allows you takes 2 auras purity of fire and dtermination + 1 curse aura flambility Elemental Overload
Spoiler
 with cast when damage taken + increased critical strike + blade voltex you have almost permanently 40% more elemental damage Leveling
Spoiler
I have to say its little hard leveling RF based builds becouse you cant makes lots of damage till ~60lvl, i used 2 handed Ground Slam till ~45lvl with something like this skill tree and then i changed with some respec points to flame surge + rf (you have to be very careful using rf with low lvl, you need constantly using life flasks)

Its not really suprise:
Normal Help Oak Cruel Kill all Merciless Help Oak Gear
Spoiler
Ony one required uniqe (but its really cheap) It simply gives you maximum fire resistance. And we have some recomended uniqes Immunite to freze + more important 8 reduced mana reserved (with 21 lvl purity of fire you can have +5 max fire resist from purity of fire). With high strenght you can really niceincreased damage, second variant is Doryani's Catalyst with 0.2 life leech from flame surge (RF dont count). Really nice item, it gives you frenzy charges + 1.5% max hp regen from this 3 frenzy charges. Fire damage, armor, resistance and 0.2 leech from fire damage (again RF dont count). and rest of my gear On gloves try get high rolls life and armor. I use this only becouse i dont have another 6-link with 5B and 1R sockets Lots of dextery helps you use Alpha Howl's Two rings, one with socket for aura (the best if you use 2 auras + curse + blasphemy on helm but roll 2R 2B on Alpha's Howl is really hard) Jewels
Spoiler
Combination of increased life, increased area damage, increased fire damage, increased damage, spell damage and increased damage over time Flasks
Spoiler
Fire resistance -> increased life regen For bleeding For movment speed For 'oh shit' situations For max physical damage taken reduction Skill gems
Spoiler
6 link -> Flame surge + Blood Magic + Spell Echo + Controled Destrution + Concentrated Effect + Elemental Focus 5 link -> Flame surge + Blood Magic + Spell Echo + Controled Destrution + Concentrated Effect Why not increased area of effect? becouse we want cast Flame Surge in RF area, increasing damage from burning enemys 4 link -> Righteous Fire + Elemental Focus + Increased Area Of Effect + Increased Burning Damage Why not concentrated effect? becouse our main skill is flame surge, we want the biggest range of righteous fire 4 link -> Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 1) + Increased Critical Strike + Blade Voltex (lvl 1) + Tempest Shield (lvl 7) To trigger Elemental Overload + 3 percent blok chance 3 link -> Cast When Damage Taken (high lvl)+ Summont Stone Golem + Molten Shell There we need high lvl Stone Golem for hp regen and Molten Shell for armor (and ~10k damage which is really nice) 4 link -> Flame Dash + Enduring Cry + Blood magic + Culling Strike Enduring cry for generate enduring charges and flame dash for mobility + finish strong boses with culling strike 2 link -> Flamabillity + Blasphemy + two auras Purity Of Fire (max fire resist) and Determination(armor) As i said before with 2R 2B Alpha's Howl you can use there 2 auras + curse + blasphemy and in 3 link use Flame Dash + Enduring Cry + Blood magic Offence
Spoiler
With 3 frenzy charges + RF + Elemental Overload, which you have almost all the time  I think its not include 50% more damage to burning enemys but i am not sure Approximate damage from Righteous Fire you can count from there http://rf.samminds.com Defence
Spoiler
With no bonus
Spoiler
 With 6 endurence charges
Spoiler
 With 6 endurence charges + molten shell
Spoiler
 Map mods
Spoiler
Its hard with blood magic, no life regen or less life regen but you can still makes this with only flame surge (but not recomended becouse lower damage)
With elemental reflet its still doable (1.2% life leech from flame surge and high life regen) but you need be carefull Video

You can do blood magic maps and keep the 50% more damage for Flame Surge if you switch the RF setup for a Fire Trap setup, but you need different gear because of different skill gem colors. I suggest Fire Trap + Cluster Traps + Inc AoE + Inc Burning Damage/Inc Duration/Trap Cooldown Support. With this change, the build also becomes more viable in HC (although it's a bit short ranged for my tastes for HC).
For leveling you can use Fire Storm, it works well with almost the same links as you use with Flame Surge. I do a variation of this build that takes a little less life and goes to take the AoE nodes in the witch tree instead, for even larger RF range and a little more damage. And I also use slightly different gem setups, because I use plate armor and it's hard to get 5 blue sockets on it. So I use Fire Penetration there and swap Flammability with either Warlord's Mark or Temporal Chains. Account inactive since Tencent majority share acquisition.

Skilltree missing a lot of points.
Hope this gets updated after 3.0, might wanna try Flame Surge with RF then. |
