Swapped to RF last night once I hit 70 to run my level 20 Purity of Fire. Currently working on 5linking my chest and finishing my Masters to craft cold damage on my jewelery.

Having a blast. Burninating the countryside. Burninating the peasants. (Trogdor reference for you heathens who don't know.)


@Demigod: Regarding faster attacks on Shield charge, I plan on it being my main source of mobility. No running almost y'know? Getting into the habit will guarantee the curse is always applied and I'll be jumping the cull on everything. I feel like having a 20/20 Faster attacks would make this much smoother.


Regarding CWDT, I didn't know you couldn't run echo with it. Thank you for the tip. Inc aoe it is.

Hey Demi, this build is really awesome and I wanted to thank you for updating it and sharing it with everyone. Also the fact that you're responding to people so fast is amazing.

I had a quick question for you, what chest piece would you prefer or would you say is BIS, Kaom's or Belly of the beast?

Thank you in advance!

I was going over this build and cocotheone. So why not both? results = as expected.

i upgrade 1 at time if i can..working getting a nice pair of str/health gloves. the cold damage to attacks is enough to trigger EE, i really don't use frost bomb.

Update: I find devouring totem with Arohongui ascendancy to be a pretty drastic improvement over IC.

I chose devouring totem over regenerating totem for two reasons: One, regen totem's radius is pretty lacking, hard to put it somewhere out of danger while getting the benefit. Two, devouring totem gets boosted life from quality.

The regen from corpse eating is a LOT more than I expected, it really adds a ton of tankiness on top of the already very good 8% reduced damage done by monsters. The 16% increased damage taken by monsters is also very noticeable, and the radius for both debuffs is HUGE. Stick it in the corner of a boss room and it's an enormous difference even without corpses to eat. I very much like having another button that makes me tankier and do more damage, which is something I felt like the build was lacking with the relatively few actives.

"Last remarks. This build can be done as any Templar/Maurader/Duelist ascendancy." That's great as I really hate being wasteful and lacking a 4th good ascendancy option for the Chieftain messes with my OCD so I'd rather go for a different ascendancy for that reason alone basically. I saw your low life Guardian version but that's an insanely expensive option so I was wondering which other ascendancy you would recommend for a life build rather than low life that's not a Chieftain. I'd think the Juggernaut would be the most obvious alternative choice though the Berserker's 40% more damage can't be underestimated as that's 1 like the most powerful way to scale RF(even better than Pain Attunement of low life builds being 10% higher) albeit with a cost of taking 10% extra damage and with the build being regen based rather than leech based which is where the Berserker truly shines. Slayer could be nice for the Cull(procced with the Shield Charge) but like the Berserker it's pretty leech centric rather than regen so that's questionable too. The other options seem awfully wasteful.

So that basically leaves us with Chieftain vs Juggernaut as the 2 best choices. How would you rate the Juggernaut against the Chieftain and what changes if any would you make to the build to suit it?
