I would like to give a vote to my friend jackaloop's build. looks super in maps and tanks most everything. if I could I would like to play the spider boss with him but my build can't take it. my guess is that jack can afk tank it himself though.

Overview
CookingWithFrog is a level 83 marauder on Domination league. It uses righteous fire and incinerate to burn everything to a crisp, including itself. Hence the name. Though I made the character on a softcore league, it has minimal deaths (mostly due to testing its boundaries) and is definitely viable for hardcore.

Next levels I will get is either the endurance charges and endurance charge regen, the life and evasion nodes at the start of ranger, or the increased area nodes in templar.
Gameplay and Synergies
The idea of the build is to be able to sustain righteous fire and use it to both multiply your incinerate damage and provide a decent degeneration to nearby enemies. With a fully levelled Purity of Fire, Rise of the Phoenix unique shield and Elemental Adaptation passive point, you have a total of 88% fire resistance meaning you take 10.8% of your life total per second as fire damage. With a fully levelled vitality and the life regeneration passive points, you have 11.05% life regeneration, which will net you a total of 0.25% life regeneration. Using The Blood Dance unique boots, and 6 frenzy charges, you get an additional 6% life regeneration. Add in rejuvination totem, the life leech gem on incinerate, and the 8 life gained per hit for spells on Cybil's Paw unique, you are able acquire a very high life return. All non-unique gear is meant to have as much life, resistances and armour as possible, as well as strength and intelligence. The more intelligence you get on gear, the less passive points you need to waste on +30 intelligence nodes. Your righteous fire should be in your weapon swap with ideally an item with +1 level of gems and +2 level of fire gems to maximize on the spell damage multiplier on righteous fire. Flasks are very important on this character. A Seething hallowed life flask of Dousing is required for dangerous situations. It both gives instant life return, and turns off righteous fire until you recast it, making it act as a pseudo life-over-time flask. The ruby flask also acts as a life-over-time flask since it increases your fire resistance to 98%, making the damage from righteous fire negligable for 4.2 seconds. I decided to use both a granite and jade flask since when combined they give you a very large armour boost. +20 charges on a jade flask is necessary as it provides 2 uses. I have curse removal on my granite flask, since curses like vulnerability make you take more damage from righteous fire and cause you to get stunned more since you don't get unwavering stance, meaning it is harder to leech life. If you don't have 40 overcapped fire resistance, it may be good to have curse removal on another flask since elemental weakness and flammability can be quite damaging as well.
Damage Scaling and ability to do end game content
The character has 6038 life, 435 strength, 77 lightning and cold resist, and 88 fire resist. With a lvl 18 incinerate, the tooltip DPS for it is 646.7. When attacking an enemy at point blank, it gets hit by 5 projectiles, and when incinerate is at stage 4 it does 4 times as much damage. Adding in the 3000 DPS from righteous fire, the character can do more than 15000 DPS. It can successfully do any map mod, yet some are difficult. No regen and -maximum resistances make it so you cannot run righteous fire, while half regen and vulnerability make it difficult to use it. I was able to do an extra damage residence map boss with no deaths (first stage of dominus to anyone who doesn't know). Without righteous fire, I was able to tank his attacks and (slowly) kill him. Every boss is doable with this character, and some are trivialized by its ability to tank (such as spider forest, jungle valley and most importantly crematorium map boss) IGN Standard: FrogKills

Spoiler
Auras Used : Hatred + Grace Massive damage and Damage reduction to be able to do any map mod besides blood magic of course. Can do Physical Reflect + Vulnerability. Uses 4 Endurance Charges, 5 Frenzy Charges, 5 Power Charges. Normally I run around with Added Fire Damage on both of my slots, Which is fine but I normally Switch them out for Life Leech during a Reflect Physical Map just incase of running into a Double Reflect Pack which regardless I can still do, due to my high level already its good to be safe ;). There is barely no difference in clear speeds though. Flickering into the middle of mobs and Spectral Throwing them down + Running Hatred just instantly shatters mobs. Double Strike can be for bosses if you don't feel like using Spectral Throw both are viable for boss kills, choice is yours. Suggested Tips for running the build.
Spoiler
Keeping up all your charges, which shouldn't be a problem AT ALL, simply cause you'll be in the front lines all the time with your flicker strike/lightning warp. Will give you maximum damage output and survivability.

Hi Guys,
This is my Version of HvR's Crit LA/Frenzy Build. It was my second Domination Char and the first to beat the game on Domination with. The Character is Lvl 82 Ranger: Xol_traxex The Character utilizes a strong combinaton of defensive mechanisms and the ever so powerful LA/Frenzy combo to clear high level maps with minimal gear. defense: The High defensive capabilities of this Characer originate from 3 Sources: - decent lifepool - Eldrich battery + Mind over Matter - Lightning Coil Desert Brigadine Unique (- Arctic Armour as soon as the Mana Regen is high enough to support it) Allowing the Character to convert/mitigate 70% of incoming Physical damage. To further support this, ia m using a Purity of Lightning to mitigate the converted damage further and reduce the chance of getting shocked. The offense capabilities originate from the High Crit Multiplier coupled with lightning damage to shock-stack enemies. I am NOT planing to use Voltaix Rift, as HvR Suggests because Physical Damage is easier to scale and i feel that a good Harbinger Bow will be the best endgame weapon.

" And why wasn't it tested before it was released? You always go for the easy answers and ignore the difficult ones. Fight censorship

" Be sure to hype to the max how easy it is to make 74+ maps a solo walk in the park so that Chris and company will know that they need to nerf your build. What's with you of late GGG? Why in the world are you not wanting ingenious players to have great end game builds? You made the passive tree huge and great. You have lots of skills and supports and keystones. So let us experiment forever and when we discover an uber build please don't nerf it. "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |

" they should just implement console into the game tbh, so you can just give yourself invulnerability, that way you can make the build you want and play with it as you like I guess what I am trying to say is I hope they nerf the build I am using,it deserves it and it also takes the fun out of playing PoE, it was fun coming up with it and making it work, but knowing that no content challenges gets very old very fast what's up with players of late? nerfing players makes the content more challenging and fun, bringing abilities in line with each other opens up more paths that are viable, the fun is finding the uber build, not playing it, the fun is the challenge not going back to level 3 areas and stomping mobs, there is no fun in every character using the same ability, this is why phase run was removed, this is why CwDT was changed, this is why auras were changed, to increase the fun for us players Last edited by Jackalooop#4955 on Nov 19, 2013, 12:42:13 PM
