Questions regarding Righteous Fire Life build (Pohx)

Hey guys, have a few questions regarding RF Life (pohx build) I'm playing Hardcore Harb league
This is my gear :

Flasks :


I know, gloves are SHIT but can't find better ones with chaos\light\life.
So my questions are :
What needs to be changed gear-wise? (Except that i need Kaom's)
I can't play maps without HP pots, because sometimes i just get hit for like 3-5k hp (im around 6.2k hp with 7-9k armour).
When i watch Pohx play, he doesn't have HP flasks and he never goes below 75% hp.

Like, i know i need to swap the amulet and rings, but i dont have currency to buy one, and i can't find a good ring with fire or any ele dmg% with good life.
IS there anything im doing wrong, or anything i could do better?
Thank you guys.

Well, just taking a quick look at Pohx's build, his damage and life are way higher than yours.

1) Your helm. He uses a essence crafted helm (socketed gems do 30% more elemental damage) with 40% righteous fire damage uber enchant.
2) His boots are enchanted with 'regen 2% of life and mana if you were hit recently' (this is big)
3) He uses 6 jewels all of which have 5-7% life crafted on them
4) Obviously Kaoms is huge
5) Your amulet can be replaced with a good rare marble amulet.
6) Your pyre can be replaced with a good opal ring.
7) his purity is linked to a level 3 empower which is also pretty big.


For comparison pohx is at 10928 hp with 6869 armor.

You just need to watch for better gear to go up and farm currency till you can afford it. In terms of damage/life, the huge boosts to focus on are:
1) The essence helm (this is a BIG damage boost).
2) Kaom's heart
3) The uber enchant

The rings/amulets are gonna have to be bought when you can afford them.

You are also not running quite as defensively as him.
Link your enduring cry to increased duration and add a vaal grace to those links.

Hope that helps,

A big thanks to your reply sir!
1)Yeah, i want to have that too, although it's quite expensive
2)Need to find non-corrupted kaoms boots then
3)trying to have the same, % life + RF dmg
4)Tryin' to chance it!
5)Need currency for that
6)Same as 5)
7)Same as 5) 6) :D


Thanks again for the help sir, i'll try to git gut.
I'm kinda doing T9-T10 maps with no problems (sometimes i get to 1-2k hp but im still alive!)
I am playing similar setup right now, so my guess based on observation - you need to be HYPERACTIVE. And by that I really mean zipping around like crazy. At least through my eyes, just by keeping mobile I noticed I do not take that much damage anymore.

Some of the scarier bosses even stopped being scary, once I learned how to "dance" around them properly (~dmg buffed Argus boss in Chateau for example). They just kinda rotate and try to hit me, failing most of the time.

And I am way, way way wayway behind Pohx in term of gear. You don't need HP flasks when you are Berserker, that is the key element, Ruby flask with some utility affix can be a game-changer, where HP flask is just... unreliable (~Curse immunity, +Armor etc., "drink to win")

Anyway, that is my observation based on what I did wrong - movement and flask utilization.

Get more health on them as well, they can roll 150-200hp so your current ones are very low in the range.
"You want it to be one way, but it's the other way"
Yea, that's very true.

You have a big advantage over other skills, in that you deal damage without having to stop moving. So move constantly, focus on boss mechanics.

Keep a leveled concentrated effect gem to swap out increased AoE for when you face bosses.

Thanks guys!
Who's playing RF also, please link your gear, if you want
I'd add the essence which gives more attack speed on gloves, for the shield charge.
Then you can look for a gg attack speed burning/ fire scepter.
use essence of fire damage on the opal ring.
