Gems/Links
Primary Links Vaal Righteous Fire - Elemental Focus - Arcane Surge - Swift Afflication - Burning Damage - Concentrated Effect This will go in your Helmet and Burning Damage + Conc Effect will need to come from Elder mods. Purity of Fire From your boots. Vitality - Purity of Ice/Arctic Armour - Enlighten Purity of Ice and Arctic Armour can be swapped out depending on if you're expecting cold or physical damage. Can also opt to just drop either plus the Enlighten for two open slots that you can run whatever in. CWDT - Enfeeble - Wave of Conviction - Purifying Flame/Immortal Call/Frost Wall WoC is a big QoL increase because you don't need to set down a totem. Purifying Flames creates a lot of Consecrated Ground to take advantage of, while IC does IC things. Additions Shield Charge - Faster Attacks - Fortify - Increased Critical Strikes Provides additional mobility and a source of Fortify, as well as on-demand EO/EE procs. Cyclone - Culling Strike - Fortify - Increased Critical Strikes Culling + EO/EE procs. Consecrated Path - Culling Strike - Fortify - Increased Critical Strikes Cyclone but with Consecrated Ground. Phase Run - Increased Duration Gotta go fast. Summon Stone Golem/Summon Fire Golem
Gear
The first thing to know is DO NOT under any circumstances add fire damage to your attacks in any way. EO is a significant portion of our damage. Buyer's Guide by MrBubuX
Suggested Uniques
Doryani's Delusion A non-insignificant portion of this build's viability comes from these boots. Do not get ones with added fire damage - ONLY cold or lightning. Kaom's Heart Obvious. Doon Cuebiyari Pretty standard. Rise of the Phoenix The fire res is really handy, although you can absolutely sub Saffell's Frame if you want to. Saffell's Frame Alternative to RotP to improve all of your resists. Cyclopean Coil All-around great RF belt. Meginord's Vise All-around great RF gloves. Blood of the Karui There's basically nothing in the game that can kill you before this flask pops you back up to full health. The Writing Jar Lets you proc your Trickster ascendancy's regen easily against bosses. Alternatively, consider taking Pathfinder, Inquisitor, or Guardian instead of Trickster.

Bandits Help Oak Pantheon Major: Arkaali Minor: Abberath Ascendancy Start with the Strength and Dex/Int nodes for your first lab, then grab the Trickster node in the second one. Levelling As with most RF builds, leveling is less than joyous. You can convert over to RF at about level 45, but before that just use Scorching Ray or whatever other spell you like best. Your priority early on is health regen nodes. Make sure you grab the ones in the Duelist area as well - do NOT try to wait until you've finished Uber lab and can start from the Marauder area.

Hi, I'm going to do this build, I like what I see, let's see how I do it ... do you have any recommendations to give me ??
| |
" Build's pretty straight-forward. I'd personally suggest just leveling with Cyclone or Scorching Ray + Flame Totem. If you've got any specific questions I'm more than happy to help. |
|
|
so what about your resistances?
|
|
" Ah, I probably posted the wrong PoB code. I'll fix that tonight. They should all be a fair bit over max. EDIT: Updated Last edited by GovernorJebBush on Oct 2, 2018, 10:07:18 PM

Can this build do Uber Elder?
|
|
|
I just tried this, and as a new player this is disgusting. I literally just walk through everything and then stand on top of the boss until he dies.
|
|
" First try playing a build with some crazy mechanics (flask managing,...). After 2 weeks you'll love this one. I can even talk to my wife when playing RF build LOL ;) | |
" Haven't attempted Uber Elder yet, but I put this together with that intention. Shaper was a piece of cake. I should be spawning UE soon so I'll definitely update once I've taken him on. |
|
" Tnx, i'll try it later then! |
