First question still stands, no idea how to make sure EO to be up 100%.

I don't think you can to be honest... Ball Lightning only has a base 5% crit chance, so it would crit one out of twenty times. It'll be triggered on 528 damage, which means you probably can't take more than a single activation per second or so (depending on your regeneration after RF). If we figure one per second, you'll have it up 8/20th of the time.

What I do to increase that is that I use Frostblink a lot... Combine it with these boots:

...and you can cast it a LOT when enemies are near. More importantly, it also provide Frost damage to give the mobs hit -50% fire resistance, AND your speed will never be slowed (freeze, tar, temporal chains etc. will not affect you).

Don't use Flame Dash... or anything that adds x-y fire damage to attacks/spells (you don't have any equipment of that type at the moment)... It'll give mobs +25% fire resistance.

Get this if you can:

So managed to level my witch to level 86, and got around 950k RF damage.

But Sirus was just impossible to do. Every single attack he does kills me so lost all 6 portals. Damage is quite awsome in this build but not sure if it can kill Sirus on awakening 8.
Might be that i have taken some passives that are no good or just unlucky in the fight.

Miss the days of facetanking Sirus with RF Jugg :)

Any idea how to beef up the survivability on this would be appreciated.

Thanks will try to find the boots. I do have that shield, I just bought the Lioneye's remorse for more life.

Hello Mr Days,

Any suggestions on mine so far? I was about to get the six link on the helm. It opened up my options to get a life chest at a better cost. I think my regen could be better? I have a cluster waiting for my to level more.
Hey aeiouy87!

I took a quick look (I assume you're character name is ...RF_af?) and I think you're doing great. You're only level 74 so you don't have to worry much yet at all. Some gear, like the Vermillion Rings, aren't even available until level 80. So for you to get a 6-link helmet already is great! You have an awesome setup.

To move your golems to your chest gives you TONS of freedom. You could keep them as a 4-link and then have the freedom to keep improving (easily) your chest). You could add things like Culling Strike or Blind Support to your Golems. Frost Wall is always something that tempts me too ;).

Saving AoE until the end was a great idea as well! Sorry it's a vague answer but I think you're doing great. As you level tons more gear will become available.

First of all the build is really fun, apart from the insane lags on xbox when there is a huge crowd. I somehow managed to get a working gear, however, I'm confused on few mechanics.
1) My EO is almost never up. I once just stood in the mob and waited for the ball lightning to proc EO, but only once in 7-8 immortal call procs, I get EO. Am i missing something ? or should i be using something else to get the crit to proc EO.

2) I recently upgraded from tabula to the six-linked chest. Since then I have not been able to sustain RF anymore. With my current setup, I'm slowly degenerating with RF. Is it that I'm taking too much burning damage and I don't have enough regen ? I even replaced the shield with Rise of the phoenix, to get more regen and increase max fire resist, but I still degen (a bit slower)

Hey kravenance!

I'm glad you're having fun despite the questions. I play on console too. I feel ya.

1) EO will get proc'd LOTS as you get into the higher tier maps. The reason I like Ball Lightning is that it hits many times per cast ALONG WITH it only has to crit on one enemy out of a whole group to give EO. Also, WoC and PF can proc EO as well. Once I make an example video, you'll see how often EO is actually up. I think you just ran into some bad luck unless you have something that's decreasing your crit chance somewhere.

You'll see at the end of the most recent video (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1iL16J8el0AElHHt8aOUXrQb3w79MSVC once I do a couple of red maps how often EO shows up compared to the lower tier maps I was doing. I'll link this link in the guide once the example video is ready.

2) Regarding degen, I couldn't see anything out of place. Vitality, your Stone Golem, PoF are all good. Your degen shows decent #s. I see you've left a couple of regen nodes out of the tree but that should make or break anything with your gear. Is it possible that your golems weren't up when you were looking at RF? Maybe it was a map mod if you were testing it in a map?

Things look fine from what I can see. Maybe I missed something.

I think I found the issue of my second question. My stone golem was off level with CWDT and was not spawning.
First question still stands, no idea how to make sure EO to be up 100%.
Awesome. I'm glad you figured it out.

In regards to EO being 100%, that takes a HUGE crit investment. Think of it this way, EO give a huge damage boost, but only at the cost of 2 nodes. So no matter how temporary it may seem, for two nodes, it's really worth it. Spreading yourself thin for EO will mean cutting into other valuable aspects of the build. I'm not saying it can't be done, but EO is secondary to the build. So as you go about editing, just be sure you keep the core intact.

Hey LeeTeex!

Ya this build isn't a face tank build. Like most builds, we're trying to avoid all of Sirus' damage completely. Though there's lots of mitigation with this build, it's not a Sirus tanker.

As you've already dismantled the gear on your RF build, I can't really tell you where to go but good luck with your new builds!
