3.11 -- Righteous Fire Juggernaut / Chieftain (Outdated and Abandoned)

Any tips on what I should upgrade next? I'm still being one-shot sometimes by syndicate and bosses on T13+ bosses.

" The %recovery mod isn't taken into account on character sheet, you have to use Path of Building program. On my character 30% recovery gives me 1180 regen, while 140 regen gives me 220 regen. | |
" Drop cwdt to level one and replace IC with inc crit. It'll help keep EO and EE buffs up. Try to get an amulet with life. Some of your jewels are really bad. They should have life and burning damage at the very least. I'd also replace blood of karui with quicksilver with ms mod. Are you always running swift in your helmet? even when mapping? Seems like a bad idea. That combo is only recommended on a dedicated boss killer helmet you switch to. edit you should also replace ruby flask with basalt, it should help against bosses and syndicate members Last edited by rhah on Feb 15, 2019, 8:20:18 PM

" adds cold/lightning damage - affects all skills, can be socketed anywhere adds cold/lightning damage to spells - only spells, like storm brand, not shield charge | |
" I didn't. I bought a BD-resHorror base, and then mastercrafted conc on it. Syndicate crafted white sockets. And payed a guy to enchant it for me. " Yep, i hope that guy gets a chance to complete his helmet. That's quite something. I don't think i'm gonna go that far and try to craft 20 conc and t1 life. Way too expensive. The second best helmet has 20conc with t2 life. He spent like 5 mirrors trying to get t1 life, and still nada. I actually got very lucky with conc. I think it was like two or three attempts. The chance to get 20Conc is 1.5% per slam. I didn't essence craft it myself. Too risky. If i remember right the guy told me that it took him around 100 attempts. In previous league a guy told me that it took him around 200, and another guy didn't get anything in 400. | |

I want to believe in my luck and I'm looking for that ! (I know i need more essence.) |

Don't say that lol. I got two in less than 10 horrors
sadly none of them lvl 20 burning. I don't play rf atm in league so not bothered, just wanted to see if I could craft a decent helm for standard but I think I'll just mirror one instead | |
" Ok, thanks for the tips. Some upgrades are really expensive, but I'll try and report back in a while. Again, thanks for the great guide. :D |

IMHO this build is very good in dealing w/ mobs and clearing maps quickly, but very poor in dealing w/ endgame bosses. Haven't been able to beat a Uber Atziri encounter yet, and I'm at lvl 92 w/ 8.5k life,max elem resist and about 20 ex invested. Constantly mashing flasks and trying to retreat here and there, but not having any success.
I think the true weakness of the RF build is the up close and personal approach you need to take w/ not enough defense to be able to tank the heavy hits (even w/ Armour flasks and Unbreakable) nor the mobility to move around. I also feel like there should be more info on this forum that gives strategies on how to deal w/ endgame bosses as it seems to be lacking. Saying "viable" and not explaining why isn't really helpful. Overall, I give it a 7/10. Fun to play while mapping, but very infuriating vs endgame bosses. (Let's not be 12 year olds now please, as I'm speaking from my own experience. I will ignore all "git gud", "n00b" or any other comments along those lines.) Last edited by zbrown016 on Feb 16, 2019, 11:07:01 PM

Your profile is set to private , therefore nobody can even see what kind of gear you have to judge whether you gave the build an honest attempt or not . I’ve taken down everything with this build . Unfortunately I play on Xbox so we don’t have the privilege of sharing our accounts and characters yet . But , I can safely say my favourite part about this build was the way it handled end game bosses . I could never kill Uber elder before , always died . But this build was so tanky it allowed me to learn the battles comfortably rather than running around like a madman hoping not to get hit or I’m one shot dead !
I felt every tweak and upgrade at my gear I could notice more and more damage output each time . Also I got to level 98 which is the highest I’ve ever been . And the extra point also were damage buffs whether it was 5% max life or a jewel buff . The funniest story I have about the build is this .... at about level 90 I tried red elder for my first time, and killed him but the shaper died as well so I didn’t get the atlas progression . From my inexperience I tried 3 more times and the same thing happened again... but on the 3rd try , I was so frustrated after he died again that I put down my controller and grabbed my phone to google how the hell guys keep him alive . I learned to use the frost wall gem (next time it worked )) but when I went back to the game , thinking I’d be guaranteed dead , instead red elder was dead while I went afk lol . I got a good chuckle out of that one . |
