Path of Building Code

Build Overview

Note. Going to test Scorching Ray of Immolation +Spell Totem Support The potential is much higher than Fire Trap but requires some setup.


Righteous Fire Chieftain is a simple yet powerful character which focuses primarily on Map Clear. This build scales Hinekora, Death's Fury With Monster Density which makes it scale very easily into the End Game. Our single target of Choice is Fire Trap

The build also works for a number of league mechanics such as. Harvest, Delirium, Blight, Strongboxes, Heist, Ritual, Expedition & More

You can handle the first 2 Voidstone (Searing Exarch & Eater of Worlds) with simple Rare gear with Life/Resistance. Be warned it will take a bit but you should be very tanky.

Later on we'll incorporate some items such as Cloak of Flame To scale our Ignite from Hinekora, Death's Fury alongside providing some much needed Physical Damage Reduction.

We'll also aim to use an Elder Helmet for a psudo 6 Link for our Fire Trap

You are also able to get your later 2 Voidstones Bosses although Maven is a big hurdle for players with the build. Have no fear I have killed them all even in SSF & provide tips for killing them on my Youtube

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Fast Map Clear on a budget gets faster with Ignite Proliferation
  • Very Tanky, 90%+ Res + Block Cap with Recovery & Glancing Blows
  • 5+ Endurance Charges for Phys/Elemental Mitigation + Big Life Regen
  • Limited on Button Presses, Ignores all Cold & Lightning Resistance via Stacking Fire Resistance
  • Low Single Target (Average player stops at 2-4M DPS)
  • Limited Scaling, other builds scale better. However, RF Can do all content if you gear it
  • Weak Boss Damage. You can get void stones and do guardians/invitations. But killing Ubers is not advised.

Build Variants

Preparing the Righteous Fire Swap. MAKE SURE TO READ

Before Killing Piety the Second time, I usually make my way over to Library This is mandatory to complete so you can get support gems for your Righteous Fire & Also so you can purchase your new single target Fire Trap

You won't be able to use this skill right away. So make sure to put it in your weapon swap so it can level on the side. Down below is a list of gems to purchase from Library

Regex to buy gems

"^fire t|male|^trap a|^effi|^elemental f|^burning da|^swift af|bots$|busti|rmag|mabi|tap"

Fire Trap Efficacy Support Elemental Focus Support Trap and Mine Damage Support Burning Damage Support Armageddon Brand Flammability Combustion Support Lifetap Support

Note: This Respec cost me 750 Gold at level 32.

Open a NPC Vendor and place your Iron Ring + any red gem and they will offer you a Ruby Ring

If you didn't find any Iron Ring you can go back to the previous vendors and find them.

At this point you want to craft "Fire Resistance" on every piece of gear that has an open Suffix. Simply place it in the crafting bench and craft Fire Resistance for 1 Transmutation Orb, the more the better.

You want a minimum of 120% fire resistance paired with the mastery shown below. "regenerate 1 life per second per uncapped fire resistance" This means the number in the ( )

This is also a good time to swap to a shield and start Shield Charge

At this point you're going to want to Gamble for a 4-Link piece for your Righteous Fire I recommend PURE Armour

Consider purchasing Blood Rage if you want some bonus damage. It will chip some of your HP Regen.

Usually shortly after the RF Swap I Ascend and take Tasalio, Cleansing Water (usually at the start of act 4 when I get my golem)

How it Plays

Simply turn on your Righteous Fire and start Shield Charge through enemies. When you come across a blue pack hit your Punishment & throw a Fire Trap if needed. Reposition with Frostblink so you don't take too much damage. (Don't worry later on we can just face tank things once geared)

How it Works

Use Shield Charge through enemies and kill them with your Righteous Fire you will occasionally trigger Hinekora, Death's Fury the damage from this is so extreme it can even 1 tap map bosses. Later on we elevate the explode by adding Ignite Spread from Exarch Embers on your Gloves.

On tanky targets or packs we also use Punishment to increase damage and throw Fire Trap for single target.

Sometimes all you have to do is stand still for half a split second for your Ramako, Sun's Light to help your Righteous Fire clear packs.
