Ok, so I tried this build out in 3.1

I always keep leveled chars around so I can try out new builds after each 3-4 month release and this seemed like a neat one. I had to use Astramentis cause I could never come close to enough Strength to wear the armor, and I decided to use the 'Ascent from Flesh' belt instead as I needed the resists, the phasing is nice, and I'd rather have more ES overall than just faster recharge rate of that ES (it's the 1-2 shots that kill you).

Have to say, pretty awesome build. Only deaths have really been my fault being too cocky since most content is so trivial. First death was in a Poorjoys from the massive amount of dead monsters and all the guys casting Detonate Dead. Other couple deaths were similar cheap mechanics. But overall, one of the easiest builds I've ever played.

Also, swap the Fire golem for a stone one and running Uber lab is a breeze. You can take multiple trap hits and the ES regens so fast it isn't an issue.

Thanks.


all the strength you need:


about the belt, I still think
with es/res/damage/onslaught on kill is way better than ascent from flesh, also you can get phasing from quartz flask and it's easier to craft than silver flask.

Anyway, I'm glad this build and the laziness about it is so much fun not only for me :)

Well those are some special rings/amy to get that much strength, plus that belt is Abyss league only, right? I'm still on standard.

Yeah I like the 'lazy' part of this build just like a RF char is supposed to be. I've tried 3 times before to make a Righteous Fire character and they just don't work ... the fact that you are always taking damage is an issue when getting hit or cursed. And single target always sucked. This build NEVER takes damage from the aura, and the single target (while still not great) is much better. And with a stone golem, I'm amazed how easy the Uber lab is.
dont do the 5L method he outlines. I have spent about 3ex with no luck. much cheaper to use vorici calculator. get stuck on the 5l off color
I have a quick 3 questions:

I do not have a real good ES shield so I am going to use Sin Trek; will that work if I can get my resists up?

I have both Eber's Unification and The Vertex: Eber's has 171 ES vs 250 for Vertex; Eber's has 125% increased ES vs 247% for Vertex; with Eber's you get the extra chaos damage and increased stun and block; with Vertex you get +1 to gems and 50% reduced mana cost. Which will be better?

I have crafted 3B & 1G on my armor and will probably get a Red on going for 5 sockets. I have used almost all of my jeweler's orbs so if I wind up with 3B1G1R what gems should I use until I can try using the Vorici's trick to get the correct colors for 6 sockets?

Many thanks for your replies.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but it might be cheaper to just buy 5 offcolor chest from someone else. Last league I got it in one try, this time after about 2k jews i think.

As for boots, the right ones should give you lots of resistance and the shield should be at least 250es.

With the helmets, eber's give a big damage boost especially against high end bosses like guardians.

And for 1 missing green color check in path of building witch one gives you less damage but they shouldn't be that different.
Thanks for your reply. Changed boots. Just need to upgrade items now and six-link the armor. Having no problems so far, but only at 5,500 ES. Still quite tanky with the killing speed.
I've got 6k without discipline, with it 7,7k. (7,6k couse just corrupted discipline back to lvl 19...)
I would prefer more but don't have any idea how to do it cheaply without loosing dps.
Maybe changing watcher's eye for something else

but I'm not so sure it would be good.

Just FYI, you just need the 6 sockets ... they don't need to be linked for the Death's Aura.
do you consider using vaal breach for bosses?

I guess you can use it if you want to kill faster and have more regen but:
1. where do you put it (instead of golem?)
and
2. it would be risky I think adding potentially hard rare mobs to the fight that might give the boss something like haste or curse you with something when you don't have flask of warding up.
