Path of Exile – Righteous Fire Build Guide

Been looking to take advantage of the Righteous Fire skill? Here is the best build to use for it in Path of Exile.

For players that are looking to make the most of Righteous Fire, then this article will give you some good ideas on the best ways to use it. So before you go spending your PoE currency, or start dabbling in the market of PoE trade, here are a few things that you should know about the build itself, and how you can give yourself the best possible advantage.

About the Righteous Fire Build

The build itself is Berserker based, and will be focused on the Righteous Fire skill being used. If you have been looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, then this is definitely something for you to check out. As to be expected, Righteous Fire dishes out fire damage to surrounding enemies based on your maximum life. You will need to make sure however that you have some kind of fire resistance so that you are not taking the damage that it gives out.

Pros/Cons

The great thing about this PoE build is that it’s very tank-esque and has a quick clear speed. It is great if you want to start farming PoE currency, and is in general a fun build to play with. The downside is that it can set you back a lot of PoE orbs as it is expensive. There is also the Aspect of Carnage meaning that an additional 10% damage is taken.

What Equipment to Use

There are several recommendations we can make as to what equipment you should use for this Righteous Fire build. For your Body Armour, for example, check out Kaom’s Heart or Belly of the Beast. The latter offers more life, therefore granting more Righteous Fire Damage. The latter meanwhile also gives you extra additional life as well as elemental resistances.

Next is your Helmet, which you will want to find a rare helmet that is crafted with Essence of Horror, as this will give extra elemental damage. For your gloves, rare gloves with elemental resistances will certainly come in handy. Stick with rare boots too, ones that will grant added movement speed and life, plus stay with the theme of elemental resistances, and find the same traits with a belt and ring also.

For a Sceptre, Doryani’s Catalyst is recommended with its potential to surpass 130% increased elemental damage. Couple this with the Rise of the Phoenix Shield to give you fire resistance, and become a true force to be reckoned with. As for your Flasks, the Ruby Flask can give you even more max fire resistance, whilst you can increase your evasion with the Stibnite flask. A great flask to have is also Witchfire Brew, as it has the Dispair aura as well as increasing damage over time.

If you are looking for a place to buy PoE uniques, then try PoE trade if you want additional help with this PoE build. Whatever you choose to do, elemental resistances are of key importance, hence why they are listed as many times as they are when it comes to the equipment to use. Rise of the Phoenix and fire resistances will also stop you from burning yourself up when using Righteous Fire, so these too are vital.

So now you should have a better idea of how the Righteous Fire build works. You will have to spend a fair bit of PoE currency to get the most out of it, but it is arguably one of the most fun builds in the entire game if you like tank-like builds.
