righteous fire dps

i'm thinking of using scourge for rf dps. however, it didnt' seem to work. Does scourge only work for " on hit" skills?

scourge:


And does rf only scales with aoe, hp, fire & ele damage?

It should work just fine. How impactful it is depends on how much Increased Damage you already have, and what you were using beforehand. Doryani's Catalyst offers a higher increase unless you have Minion Damage passives/Jewels for example, so switching from the Catalyst to The Scourge won't feel terribly good.

Righteous Fire scales with Damage over Time, Fire, Elemental, Area, and untyped modifiers.
RF's base Damage is based on Life and ES.
I'd go as far as to say Doryani's is better than Scourge due to the global crit chance modifier it offers, for more reliable Elemental Overload.
I could see some type of RF summoner build working with that claw.
You do also have to make a hit recently to get the damage bonus.
That's not hard to do but would be a factor in some RF versions.

If I was going to do that I would probably go with the RF specters from act 3.

Thanks! I think the merits of scourge are mainly for defence since i'm relying heavily on life gain on hit with cyclone and scourge with me a best aps. For dps, i believe Doon Cuebiyari might be the best for hp ver. since it gives up to 70 strength and 95% plus increased damage(however, require good gear with strength). Doryani's in my opinion is a very good choice in terms of defence and dps.

minions...hmmm......not sure how effective it could be coz i have my more elemental damage mod on my helmet so cant have a + minion gems helmet and to sustain their health(never played minion builds b4). maybe i'll use the gem slots for defence at that stage and minions when i have some better gear like bone helmet with socketed gem more ele damage and hp.
Thanks for your suggestion.
