[2.6] LHC Rank #17 - Righteous Fire - Juggernaut

Thx to OP for some good ideas his post has generate. Those ideeas put in the right build are great.
3000 HP regen in hideout and 6000 HP regen on maps coupled with 500K/sec damage makes T16 boses fight look like a joke. Also I killed Shaper (with 2-3 deaths so not for HC).

Just wondering if say I would to drop EE and go for a xoph's blood and have flamesurge as an active skill, would it be better? Understand that EE provides the huge -resist but given flamesurge and RF's synergy could it work to provide even better DPS than EE does?

Personally, I am going to stick with EE. The gain is 50% less fire resist on enemies, so it IMO scales much, much better.

Agree with keeping EE, not to mention it is super easy to proc with the build.

Piftiuta your saing you killed Shaper)) but Just check hes chellenges, there is not Shaper chellenge complited) so probably you killed him in your dream))

All guardians down - easy, will uplode videos soon
Shaper tryed - to less dps to do it

See for your self. Now let's stop dreaming and read more of my build here. I used jugg when ascendancy came out. I now use chieftain because is better.
And btw I killed Shaper before puting to action the changes inspired by OP. Now my character is even tankier. And next time don't look on a temporary league when the character is in standard...common sense.

Shaper kill part 1 - 2.6. there is a missing 30 seconds between parts, where shaper gave me a free teleport to town
Shaper kill part 2 - 2.6.


With ideeas from OP chieftain is even better than it used to be. But after saying that OP had some good ideeas, I must notice that his build overall is meh. Low damage ouput, bad choices of passives, waste of points, no optimization, waste of gem sokets, bad choice of item base type and so on (just some examples - 6 passives wasted for +1 curse when you can use a necklace with +1 curse for 10C or windscream if you are dead poor - investing them in Tireless gives more final HP than you get with those conjurer boots, 6 passives for Purity of Flesh when with 5 passives you can get Tireless with same HP increase, Warrior's Blood is careless linked to the rest of tree when you can get also a jewel slot by using other pathway, 2 points wasted in Amplify when we already have a huge area now). We are burning from RF too. That's why is important to understand the NET HP regeneration A good net HP regeneration is a defensive measure in HC league also. With PoF lvl20 and no vitality he just forfeit almost 3% HP regen. That's why while OP barely can do vulnerability maps and can't do -60 %less HP regen or -% max resist, I can do deathless maps with 2 of these mods together. I get in hideout more HP regeneration than what he has on maps with all those charges up. Huge difference. He has no golem but lots of blood magic wasted slots. The only good choice of item is Doryani over Don because he has certanly only around 550 Strength. His damage is so low that I doubt he will be able to kill Shaper. I recently post Core map run with trash items. Will do also a video of guardians with trash items, just to see what means budget build optimised in the right way.

In the end what ever floats your boat....
Nevertheless congrats to OP for hard work involved in getting to 100 in HC, especially with a meh build.

Hey awesome build I've been blowing through hardcore with it.

If you had enlighten 3 wouldn't it be better to switch out critical strikes for a golem? It seems wierd you don't use a golem for this build.

Flame golem gives you 20% more damage at most. But your crits proc Elemental Overload, which gives you 40% more damage for 7 seconds. See? ;)

P.S. I got lucky with my boots enchant... 90% increased crit chance if not critted recently. It procs EO via Shield Charge quite often, even without dropping OoS + crit strikes.

I've been pondering to start LL RF Guardian when 3.0 comes out.. but with the lastes Dev manifesto (summary: ES nerfed to the ground), I guess I'll take the life route :)

Can me someone tell which flasks i have to use?
