I've been playing arcane RF. One thing you might like to try: take wicked ward, get a little bit of spell supress (I have 35%+lucky mastery) and 1 or 2 sources of Chance for energy shield to start recharging when you suppress (on charms or that which was taken jewel). I am running that with the grace setup you described and am very tanky. Unfortunately it would mean you can't run eternal youth so you would need to find another solution for coruscating elixir (I'm not running one, but I heard flask mastery gain life on flask use works)

Scuffed Split Personality has similar performance to the normal build, with the upside of future-proofing your setup for when you have the currency to fully upgrade. Loved the update, Pohx!

As an idea that I was toying with to recover a lot of mana was to put Mana Leech on a 4L shield charge and annoit either spirit void or Essence sap. Since mana leech is way higher then life leech you can easily get 2-3k/s mana leech going by just shield charging into mobs. Only problem would be if rf kills a pack before you hit the shield charge

I so missed your iconic greeting in the Ziz chat :) hope Mana RF takes off! I'll try to afford it somehow :D

great!

amazing work, pohx , but I ll stick with life RF still I ned some currrency to try

Man I really want to set this up.

I'm doing an RF playthrough using your guide through HCSSF this league and it's been going great. My jugg died which was sad, but I tried the inquisitor version next and it felt a lot better after 2nd ascendancy onward due to the double dip in life/ES regen. I was able to get the mana RF gem yesterday and I'm looking to see if there's a way to swap to it in HCSSF, looks like you've went straight for the high budget setup, I wonder if there will be a low budget league starter setup for this build. Would be awesome to try out. Thanks for the guide Pohx!

Budget version wen?

At this point incorporation of Mjolner and Manabond seems like obvious choice for single targets.

How much would the 10% of damage taken recouped as mana regenerate? If it calculates the RF self damage, it might be a noticeable amount for a single point?

Recoup is only from hit damage, unfortunately.

The opportunity cost is too high but the "chance to recover 10% of mana when you use a skill" can be stacked up to 75% this league, so it might technically be an option. 10% each from mastery, essence amulet, 3x charms, and charm jewel, and 15% from clarity watcher's. There's also the ritual gloves that reimburse a skill's cost as mana 30% of the time

The new transfigured scales with spell damage (regular RF doesn't), and it also scales the burn based off mana. You stack a big mana pool, which makes your RF burn stronger. Then you use Arcane Cloak to spend a lot of mana at once and pump up Indigon spell dmg stacks, which boosts your transfigured RF damage even further.

Edit: JK I don't think this would be worth it with Indigon since you'd have less mana to dump. Scatterbrain moment. Since Sanctuary of Thought only can provide AoE bonus up to 100% couldn't you technically reserve up to 4969 of your mana with another aura since 5000 unreserved mana would be 100% increase AoE? Or is that not how that would work? Because if so, seems like there is room for additional auras.

Mana Rf is very high budget and also higher damage/ehp ceiling. If you have interest, I would play normal RF to 90+ while accumulating currency, and convert after. As he said, you COULD do it around 10 divines. I would recommend 20+. The longer you wait the less chance of being frustrated at the loss of power. But it definitely has the potential to pay off.

Don't see many people talking about it, but you can leech with the arcane rf. Spell damage leeches applies since spell damage increases it as well. Weirdly added elemental damage to spell also applies, maybe something like applying chill with +1-5 cold damage to spells or something. I am using a flask with spell damage leech in my build, will try one of the leech nodes once I get a few more levels.

@ethanlarge3572

7 ай бұрын

A few things: 1.) Damage can only ever be one type. Arcane RF burn is DoT damage, not spell damage, despite the line about spell damage modifiers. Many other DoT spells have this same line, such as Essence Drain. 2.) Only hits can leech. A dot cannot leech under any circumstances. Note: ED has a regeneration component that scales with its damage, but it is mechanically distinct from leech. 3.) Flat damage cannot mechanically work with RF, as it only affects hit damage. DoTs such as ignite or poison benefit from flat damage only because they scale with an initial hit, and RF does not work this way.

so..when i use coruscating elixir my rf turns off....how do u bypass that?

But old rf felt great on my elementalist. I’ll see how the new one feels once I get a chance to do the tinkering I wanna do with it on standard.
