Elementalist RF Goes Briliant In POE 3.20!

Jan 18, 2023

This article answers two questions about Righteous Fire. Why is Elementalist the best and how do we sustain it?

Why Is Elementalist The Best?

The first is simple. This league Steelmage introduced Oriath's End, a flask giving us explode. Now, there's other source of explode, like Profane Bloom or Synthesis Implicit or influence mods, but none of them have as low of an opportunity cost as Oriath's End. It just has one flash slot but it's also a business flask really easy sustain while mapping.

Now these explodes in and of themselves aren't actually that spectacular, but when paired with Ignite Proliferation, it enables off-screen clear reminiscent of the kinds of things you would have seen with the Triple Herald Blade Vortex of way back. This explosion however, selects a random element. So, we go Elementalist and grab the Shaper of Flames honorable for consistency and also to enable global ignite chance really easily.

I pair this with the Fan the Flames Cluster Jewel notable, which allows for global Ignite Proliferation, which can also be scaled by my 120 increased AOE on Elementalist. AOE scaling that cannot be done on something like Barracks or spite Elementalist also provides the highest Baseline Damage and Area of Effect of any Ascendancy. You can pick and in a soft core trade RF character.

How Do We Sustain It?

The second question is how you sustain it? It's not quite as hard as you think. Assuming the Baseline Passive Tree and Brass Dome giving you plus five Max res, I really only run three sources of Life regeneration and the truth is you only need one of any of the three Life regen sources to sustain. And they are Vitality, Pound of Flesh and Rational Doctrine. Because my tree has so much Strength, it's really easy to fulfill the consecrated ground requirement for rational adoption.

I choose to run all three though because I want to run a wider variety of map mods like Reduced Recovery, Aura Effect or whatever it may be. And it also really really helps me out in some of the Uber fights like Uber Maven, Uber Shaper, Uber Elder where you're taking a lot of small hits or d-gens. And having something like 1K net regen is invaluable now. I do make a lot of smaller decisions to push the damage a little bit further into that 7 million DPS range and I think the top end DPS on a pretty Mageblood setup while retaining defenses and speed would probably be around 10 million. But I thought this was more than enough to basically all the content in the game.

When it comes to mapping, though I run a combination of Haste Vault, Haste Hero, the Rash and Death Rush for a really explosive and zoomy experience. For a build like RF, it's really about the small decisions that you make on the build to optimize quality of life and playability and Area of Effect. A core RF build isn't hard to set up but one that feels really amazing to run through the game with is much more nuanced.

All in all, though it's a relatively simple concept but unlike those Juggernauts and Inquisitors that you see this is really the epitome of fast and fun.

If you want to try to make more excellent builds, then preparing enough POE Currency will definitely bring you great convenience.
