I'm going strong on RF now. Since I'm not playing SSF, I traded for a Rise of the Pheonix shield because that +5% max fire resist is hard to...resist. The rest of the gear is still trash, but that's to be expected. Ritual has been very kind to me with jewels at least and I've got a couple decent 7% life jewels.

On that note, I've got a couple small recommendations for a better way to route around the passive tree.

Firstly, and most importantly, I routed using the strength nodes near the jewel node continuing from the ring of life to Combat Stamina, instead of taking the strength and dex node below sanctity (trade 1 str and 1 dex node for 2 str node). 0 extra points required and you get free access to the jewel slot.

Secondly, and very minor, above Born to Fight, I routed using a strength node instead of int. 5 hp from 10 str isn't nothing! That's a trivial change.

In general, jewel slots are much more valuable than raw 5% life nodes. Jewels provide at least 5% life, but often more and combined with other useful stuff. You can craft 6 or 7% life jewels with relatively little currency, but I haven't even had to that yet. I've just been snatching life jewels from Ritual so far.

See, https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMCAAECAosDdQSzBg4I9An2DF8RDxEtEmkTNRQgFm8XHBekGFYZLhynHNwdFCGwI70n7Sj6LJwuLC6UMtE09zpYOz88BTwtPV9Bh0VHRZ1QR1JTU1JTpVXGVkhboF8EXz9hKGebaHRo8mpDbRlxeXwOfIOCx4PMhsqOvo8aj0aSwZSgl4WX9JitmuCboZ1jna6fy6IApwinVayYrY23PriTuwG86sBmxPbGrs9-1AfUj9gk2L3ZYdpi2t3cjd-w42rkUevu7w7vfPAf8Wz31_no-tL-Cg==

That's not a full tree for the build, just the copy of how I've progressed so far, but it does show the minor re-routes.

Thank you @Wrecker of Days for this awesome guide!

I've been playing POE since beta but have been away for the last year or so and just came back to try out the new league with this build. Having a blast!

I leveled with scorching ray which was a ton of fun in itself, reminded me a lot of the arcane sorceress in D3, then switched to RF in my early 50's. The first couple of levels were a little cumbersome, ran through a lot of health pots but now, at level 68, every thing just melts with almost zero button mashing. The best part is that RF is still only 4L and I hardly even bother using cyclone!

BTW, I use dash in a spare socket in my chest to get around those pesky lab runs... helps a lot! I'll likely have to move this to an unset ring eventually as I would find it hard now to play without. Also, my gear is complete garbage and I'm 100% SSF.

Thanks again!

4 Link - Movement and Defence (Socket in your Gloves or Boots)
Cyclone (Level 9)
- Fortify Support
- Infused Channelling Support
- Life Gain on Hit Support or Inspiration Support

At first, I didn't understand why Cyclone was at such a low level.
And then it hit me.
Or should I say I hit me?
I forgot about phys reflect. :P

Thank you for such a great guide! It's very relaxing to play this build, and I'm deeply enjoying it.

I had some crazy luck with harvest rolling yesterday and managed to craft a 7% life 19% burning damage jewel. I missed harvest league, so that's a new feature to me. It seems incredibly useful! Moving those two points I mentioned earlier to route for that extra jewel node is definitely worth it. There's a fourth jewel slot that I'll probably pick up eventually near the top, but that requires 1 point of travel. A fifth could be had for 2 points of travel, but that's not worth it unless the jewel is truly exceptional. I'll ignore the large jewel socket unless I happen to come across something worthy of that investment, but the right large jewel could open up a lot of potential. Jewels are incredibly powerful.

I'm in the home stretch for this build. All the important pieces are in place and other than large jewel potential, the only nodes left for me to grab are life nodes to keep scaling up. Level 82 and on the rise. I plan to ride the build out to about lv 90 and T12 maps and then probably start into a flicker strike build or something crazy like that. I never really have the patience for much over T12.. always have trouble with map sustain. I really like this build and how super chill it is. With all the golems out, it's even more chill than strength focused RF build I tried before. Mapping with netflix on the side is easy. I love it.

Infernal Legion support for the golems is just in the build for fun because the damage doesn't scale enough for it to be useful later on. You can easily use that socket for a movement ability without affecting functionality in the long run or resorting to an unset ring.

Isn't it much better to use Vortex+Hextouch Support+Flammability to apply both EE and -fire res from Flammability, instead of cwdt+bl+flammability? Just put vortex on left click and it will be casted constantly, debuffing anyone in vortex range.

CWDT with ball lightning does fuck all, because it doesn't proc often enough.

Most of the life rolls on your gear are decent. Look for a marble amulet or something else with a high life roll to improve your pool. A new chest with life would help - Tabula doesn't do anything for you at high levels; even a 5L is effective for RF. Also, you don't have Inspiration socketed with your current 6L so you're losing out on the buff to elemental damage from those charges. I'd swap that for the AoE gem for a damage boost. Having Inspiration with cyclone grants charges really quickly and buffs the inspiration socketed with RF.

I always splurge on a +40% RF damage enchant helm, but that could be hard to come by in true SSF.

I aware of what I can do to max the damage out. Going for 3 to 6 burning bright cluster jewels would help more than anything really. I have the Tabula chest because it is what I found in the second zone and worked well to get me where I am. A better chest isn't going to change much in the long run unless I can afford a 6 link exploding chest with a ton of life on it. Even then it would only help clear speed a tad while giving me only a tiny bit of a dps boost.

Again, mostly SSF at the moment and my currency sucks. I have like 16c total I think. I haven't been getting any amulet drops to do the CC recipe even. It's bad. I just got into T6 maps and as I said, they are slow going for the moment. Even lower white maps feel slow to me. The damage isn't really there at all.

The real DPS boost to RF right now is cluster jewels which are no where to be found in this guide. Literally burning bright is the most massive DPS boost for RF compare to any other current dps boost node on the tree. It is that significant. Even still. with most other RF builds running 6 burning brights, the top dps is like 2 mil for boss dps that I see. I could live with that, but the price of those are annoyingly high.

Ideally, I would want a Replica Atziri Foible necklace, a Legacy of the Fury boots or The Stampede boots for items. Add in a crusader chest with explosion option on top of that with a lot of life as well. That necklace though is like 3-5 ex which I am no where near on for currency right now. Beyond that, getting ~100 to max life rolls on the rest of the gear is about the best I can do. If could squeeze in another hex to use Elemental Weakness with Flammability then Eye of Malice looks like an attractive option at that point instead of the CWDT wave of conviction inconsistent setup currently in this build. Doing so would work great with Master Mind of Discord to regen mana to the point we could use MoM to offset the degen enough to strip points from life regen nodes to more damage nodes. Again, I am just theory crafting here. As the build currently is I don't think it is going to be what I am looking for in an end game character
