Hi, I have a question about the armor in this build. Ur tool tip shows 8k, and i heard players talk about late game how 8k armor is "nothing". So does that mean all the armor % you gain from ascendants/skill tree/armor from items is pretty much meaningless in end game content ?

I guess my question is , should I ignore armor completely when making a build like this ?

Armour is good for small hits. Is doing nothing for big hits, or almost nothing. If you ever played acharacter with no armour you realise what small hits mean. Basically all trash mobs are ripping you apart with no armour. Now for big hits, you got blocking chance for start. If you block it, you don't take damage. Then we have physical reduction like flask, EC and fortify. Fortify also applies to elemental hits, on top of elemental resistances.
I chosed the affixes of basalt flask to be % increased armour. Because I get +3000 from rumi, and a multi on top of that is good. Other than that if I have to chose between % armour and % elemental damage, I will chose the elemental damage without second thot.


On other hand is best to stay out of ES in this build. You are burning your self for 70% of your ES but you don't regenerate it. Yes, you burn enemy also for 40% of your ES, but your overall survivability will decrease as ES go higher

Sitting at 9k hp, 2k+ regen with endurance up, 156k dps (seems a bit low?)
If you or anyone has the time to make some recommendations gear-wise/passive wise (if i chose weaker nodes that i should spec out of to save for later)
Looking for advice on my weakest slot(s). I realize Doryani would be a substantial dps increase for me considering my 636 strength currently. Which slots would need replacing to make Doon the higher dps option?

Take a look few post back where I mention how to check RF damage on PoB.
You need better rings, corals with str + life or opals if you want more damage.
You can take out art of gladiator as Kaom has no penalty on movement. See if you are not become under dex if you take it out. And you need better jewels. I know they are expensive but is a reason why they cost so much.
Rumi, non legacy is max 20% block chance. With shield 24% you go to 44% chance to block. Still higer than 41% vengeance. If you don't use the Rumi then vengeance has a higher chance to process the curse.
On other side blocking is a defence. With legacy rumi I got 64% chance to block an atack. So only ~1 in 3 atacks hits me.

Hello,

I've got request to veterans of RF builds and POE veterans overall :) Right now I'm at 9500hp and ~100% all resistances (fire 112% with purity, 106% cold and 105% lightning) and I don't know how to upgrade my character any further, I have 150c so it not enough to buy Kaom's Heart. Could anybody give me some advice? How can I improve it? Please look on my items on the profile:) Thanks!
Btw I had some fun with skill tree and I decided to go for dual curse by Whispers of Doom and im using Ice nova + CoH + Flammability and Witchfire Brew flask, you think it is worth it? Or I should just go for more life in tree and use Flammability only?

Dual curse is a good option because you increase a lot the damage you do. On bosses you have to know that curses don't have full effect.
If you like this path, is better to get a +1 curse amulet than to invest all those passives.

Haha damn I never will get +1 curse amulet :D Rly isn't there any better way :)?

there is a pair of boots windscream or a ring doedre damnigs that allows you to place 1 more curse.
But those amulets are not so rare:

The jewels will take some saving up for :) I think I can make more immediate upgrades for fraction of the cost. Definitely worth getting though as I see from path of building.

Is reckoning a better option than vengeance? Even with the rumi, reckoning reads "swift counter attack in a cone" whereas vengeance says "swift counter all around you"

Lastly, do you have any variant of this build you use for speed mapping? I don't see any shield charge/leap/faster attack links or spots to put them especially with Kaom

Amulets are too espensive for me, boots and ring are cheap, but I am losing 100 life, 40 str, 5% mov speed and around 10% resists with Windscreams... I don't think it is worth 6 passive points.

M8, something is not ok. The resistances are capped to 75%. You put PoF and RotP especially to increase that cap on fire resit to 89%. What is over that number is called overcapped and is usefull only if you do maps with ele weakness curse, or if you get cursed in map by those shamans.
Your character is private and we can't see it.

Which bandit are we helping ?

OAK
gives 1 % life regen and 2% physical damage reduction. You can't get those for 2 passives later on in game.
