I'm sorry you're feeling weak. I'm not sure what the issue would be, the tree looks good, your items are great (I didn't add it up but I assume you max reists), you have good life. You haven't added any jewels to your jewel sockets yet, but the build doesn't need those...they are just bonus.

One thing with these skills is that they get really strong as they level. Most of you skills are either 16 or 17. So just be patient as they get better. It's ok to be in the tier:1-5 range when you're in low 70's.

If you don't feel like that's the case, it could be that the build may not be your playstyle. When I was at your stage, I wasn't really having any trouble, so maybe it's just play preference. Also, even though you're likely keeping your tier:1-5 maps blue, don't forget that some rare mobs/essence monsters can be brutal.

I'm sorry, from what I saw, everything looks great. Maybe give me an update after the Syndicate is rebalanced? I would like to help if I can.

Well, maybe i just must take my time to raise gems and other things.
Yea my res maxed out 109+ and chaos res 8%
No, i like RF - i love burn anything ) 6(but BV - first time playing)
Anyway, i can respec at any time =) in some other RF build - like Demi`s pure strength or else.
Well, tomorrow i`l plan to grind some mobs and lvlup. Must again rebalance my gear, drop helmet out coz i buy it when haven`t int nodes on tree, msut pickup 30 DEX node coz lacking it. Maybe couple of levels solve my problem )
PS are BV affected by "projectiles damage"? Think about gems like %life +fire(burn,area,DOT) +proj

It really does help. But play what's the most fun :).

BV is not impacted by Projectile tages. Physical Damage, Fire Damage, Spell damage, AOE damage will impact BV.

Thanks for the message!

Let me know if there's anything else!

Hey daiverok, I'm trying this build rn and, altough it was really slow for me to lvl with BV without a lot of spell damage or cast speed, the moment I turned RF on, I was steamrolling the campaign.

I'm still waiting for my lvl 68/70 when I'll be able to wear all my equipments, but I'd suggest you to search for better rare items with fire damage or fire damage to attacks or spell damage in order to ramp up the damage.

Also, your passive tree is still far from Avatar of Fire and the top nodes (Heart and Breath of Flame) that give A LOT of fire damage, so it'll likely go up once you get those.

There's a couple of unique items that feel right for this build like Doryani's Invitation and Doryani's Delusion (which are rather cheap if you don't look for max stats).

Also, you can try to use a Vivinsect ring for Purity of Fire or Herald of Ash.

There's also the option of using Ngamahu Tiki amulet.

Also, I'd try to steer away from mana regen rate on items, as you get plenty of those on the passive tree. I'd focus in armor, life regen and maybe even a little leech since this build is pretty much free for you to do as you like (aside from life, which is always a MUST on any item).

Kaom's Heart is also a choice for +life and fire dmg if you can get your 6L on an elder helmet or a Two Handed weapon.

Not to mention, you have plenty of option for jewels (+max life, fire dmg, area of effect, DoT...). And you don't have to limite yourself to only 2 sockets, there's others pretty near the tree (like 2 points away).

Anyway, take all I said with a degree of salt since I, myself, am only lvl 60 and have not tried all of the alternatives.

Edit: Just remembered, you can swap your life flask for a panicked one, it really helps you survive with instant heal.

Loving your guide & build ^o^ <3

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions or have suggestions to the build or guide.

I'm so glad I found this build of yours. I started another RF build on SSF that I didn't realize actually NEEDED uniques to function. I didn't know until it was level 71 and I switched from Scorching Ray+Firestorm so I shelved it and went back to your lovely Slow Mo Zombies build that I used last league as well. The plan was to use the witch to farm the gear for the RF build, but when I found this page I switched my tree and skills around and suddenly I could maintain RF! I still have to gear him up and sort out the rest of the skills, but man... so much better!

I just wanted to thank you for your builds, they've been helping me learn the higher end content that I haven't been able to reach with the more complicated builds because I have trouble focusing on too many skills and flasks.

Thanks again!
