Righteous fire

You got jebaited I'm not here to complain about RF.
I would merely suggest GGG to enable CI RF gameplay by making RF only turn off when you reach 1 life AND 0 ES.
Full ES RF will be a thing now but currently it's not playable with CI because you can't turn RF on with just 1 life.
You can do the ivory tower life stacking version but it can die to chaos damage if coruscating elixir goes off (big problem for HC), which by the way the flask also makes you 1 life and turns RF off super annoying.
This change would be a downside for nobody and enables you to use a rare body for ES RF, not just shavs or ivory tower.

Bump, hoping someone at GGGs sees this as its now monday morning in new zealand.

It may be a downside to other builds because of the defense of ci.

For example: Allowing trauma support to work with swords so that we can use voidforge, paradoxica, and savior with trauma support would be a downside to nobody. Except builds that compete with that build archetype.

Could you imagine the flat from truama support with voidforge.

This is just an offensive example of the defense and suffix freedom with ci.

This would have less of an effect on the game than ci for rf players since the vast majority of players wouldnt play melee even if it is op.

many ways to increase flask duration

Flask duration doesn't changes the problem, coruscating elixir still disables your rf everytime you use the flask, no matter if it is 10s or 20s duration.

Imo CI is already balanced as opposed to low life.
You lose your life to scale other things out of it (convert life to es), you cannot reserve auras on life, you cannot use pain attunement and you pretty much have to use shavs if you don't wanna die to chaos dmg.
Also ivory tower is pretty good in softcore because you can use the reserved life to scale even more es but you cannot do that with CI either.
Thats the downsides that come with having chaos damage immunity and being able to use a rare body.
RF is playable on full ES (captain lance's ivory tower RF or 1_mana_left's mana stacking RF) which will be even stronger now with the new damage scaling, I think having the option to go CI adds more diversity.

My oh my...

Life builds got so nuked.

Hopefully, transfigured version of RF will be more similar to the current unchanged one.

I'm 90% sure that transfigured RF will be the gem with the flat damage, but there's a chance they removed the %hp scaling on this one for builds that focus purely on +gems to scale RF and fire trap.
I think this explanation make sense as to why they made the 70% hp as the default because it works better early on.
And later when you get merc/eternal lab you can swap to the other gem and start scaling +gems on gear.

At least the transfigured gems makes it so that higher HP build have a good gem to scale their damage without requiring alot of dot multi and +fire gems on gear. Those stats are very hard to get when you do attribute stacking.
The amount of investment you need to reach 40K+ ES is pretty high so you deserve to have a build with good RF dmg too.

As far as I'm concerned my last builds were all inquisitor RF even in HC with 9/10K+ HP so I don't feel too affected by this change, I think my league starter will work just fine.
I'm definitely looking to try the mana stacker version as a mid league project, at least it doesn't relies on ivory tower so with a shavs its HC viable.
