Ya, RF is hard to sustain right away. I've included a snippet from the guide that talks about sustaining RF as soon as possible without needing items. So any additions, like you're doing, will help you sustain RF sooner. The sucky thing about levelling an RF build is its unavailability early on. It's a hard knock life for RF lovers ;).[/span]

Trying to Sustain RF as Early as Possible

In case you didn't notice, RF can't be sustained right away. Without life regen focused uniques, RF can typically be sustained after you've completed the story and are into mapping. To sustain it as soon as possible without needing any gear (except links), try the following:

- Select all the nodes on the Passive Tree as they come. Get all the South nodes first, then work your way up. Don't skip any. (The Life Regen per Endurance Charge nodes are the MOST important.)
- Equip and start levelling your Stone Golem as soon as it's available.
- Equip and start levelling your Purity of Fire as soon as it's available.
- Equip and start levelling your Holy Relic as soon as it's available.
- Use the multiple methods the build uses to create, then fight on, Consecrated Ground.
- By the time you kill Arakaali (the Spider Boss in Act 7) you can select the Pantheon option that unlocks (Soul of Arakaali). Have that and the minor God, Soul of Abberath selected.
- Do the first 3 suggested Ascendancies.
- Get those Endurance charges up :).

You can sustain RF with gear in other ways of course, I just thought you'd like to know the soonest you can run RF no matter your gear.

Thank you very much, x Peleus x and Wrecker_of_Days, for your help and information.

Some low level uniques that help a lot to sustain RF:

Springleaf - level 7, shield, regenerates 3 % of life

Trolltimber Spire, level 17, shield, regenerates 0,5 % of life

Kaom's Sign, ring, + 1 to maximum number of endurance charges

Kikazaru, ring, level 20, regenerates 1 life per second per level

Shaper's Seed, level 16, amulett, regenerates 2 % of life per second

Not an unique, but useful as well:

Ruby flask, level 18, 20 % less fire damage taken

Maybe you already have or can get any of these.


Also important is to get the fire resistance as high as possible.

Oh I have read the guide, and have done what you said to do.

Stone Golem is coming up for me in Act 4. Might get it off my other character tonight or I might have done so already.

I think running Vitality Aura and Life Leech with Cyclone will be a good solution to my problem for now.

Might be I just stopped at a certain spot currently in the build and in like 4 levels I hit the sweet spot and this question would not have been asked.

Well made it to 38.

This is when everything happens.

Stone Golem, Ruby Flask, Vitality, Life leech support.
Bought the Kikazaru rings and Shaper's seed.

Everything kinda of fell into place here.

I can't use my totems as I only have 48 mana and it needs 54 right now.
So I need to fix this.

Also movement speed is terrible. Since we have an open slot with this build I put in Flame Dash.

My Cold Resistance is terrible. I think I need to fix it buy removing the rings and using Cold and Lighting rings there.

Shaper's seed I will replace for a Dex and Int Amulet later once the build is set a bit more on gear and can sustain RF without them.

Pastebin for those that are interested.

This is a very casual playstyle. Do not think you will clear maps fast with it but you will clear them. Which suites me just fine.

Cheers!
