First, thanks for a great guide. Played it for the first time last league, playing again now.

Second, Purity of Fire lost its bump to max fire resist!? I don't think that was in the gem announcements. Thought I'd point that out for anyone else that missed it. Edit: it's there, it just takes a few levels to show up.

Purity of Elements got a nice buff, but at the expense of more mana reserve. Can't just swap it in, unfortunately.

RF definitely got a boost this round. I used your great RF guide for the first time back during Harvest (your 3.11 build, I believe), and enjoyed it so much I kept playing into standard SSF until level 95. I went with straight RF at the time, opting not to go with Scorching Ray and just always kept on the move.

Instead of immediately doing a league starter for Scourge, I brought that RF character up-to-date with a passive re-spec (following your tree for the most part). With that re-spec, my RF damage (in terms of simple fire damage per second) more than doubled (125%). I have RF on a six-slot, and still keep moving.

I wanted to reset my Atlas before converting any maps, and the character cruised (at a walking pace) through a red corrupted level 13 map I had ready. With that success, I ran a red corrupted level 16 map, and again had no problems. Nice having essentially the entire Atlas unlocked. So the new tree as well as the new RF gem numbers certainly do make a BIG difference. Something to look forward to for those considering end-game later in Scourge.

It does raise the question as to whether the revised RF gem actually does need help for damage. Something to experiment with.

As a side note, I kept cyclone for local movement, which previously had the benefit of triggering Fortify. I have been pondering replacements for Fortify, and I've thrown a Life Gain on Hit in its place for the moment. Defensive suggestions as alternatives to Fortify definitely welcome!

Other minor changes to the 3.11 build: Substituted Void for Ball Lightning (Elemental Equilibrium no longer being a factor). Still using the Stone Golem (helm has the 150% increased stone golem buff) and Holy Relic, but will be looking at Skitterbots in its place. I don't think I'll need both for regen with the new re-spec.

Hi, nice build, tried one of your minion builds in a previous league. Just a question reguarding the CwDT - Void Sphere - Hextouch - Flammability link: Flammability will be cast aoutomatically from CwDT, so is Hextouch even necessary? Or what am i missing here? :-)

Managed to sustain RF at L49 in early Act 6 with only the first ascendancy after getting the last regen node :-)

I didn't even have Purity of Fire on, but did have Stone Golem (L6, 49 life regen) and Vitality (L12, 78 life regen) active.

Fell back to non-RF again since the damage in nightmares was not manageable, but I think this is the earliest I've ever been able to get RF 'working'. I had no supports on RF (this was just a test run), but it still cleared fairly well.

The problem with RF builds in the past has often been that it was a struggle to get to the point where you could safely transition. Often it required being able to use Rise of the Phoenix or Saffell's Frame, but by then your damage without RF was really struggling. That problem is mostly gone now :-)
