This build makes use of the skills Scorching Ray and Cast when channeling. It is very tanky (I am currently 10k armor 9k life with permanent 4 endurance charges), has quite high dps (shown below and in videos), and is very fun to play. It is also capable of running all maps. It can be played on hardcore but I would not recommend it for your first character as you will likely die before you get the items you need to be sturdy enough to survive due to being in melee range often.



The build also takes advantage of the fact that both righteous fire and scorching ray apply a burn effect which then give a bonus of 50% extra damage to flame surge. It also runs blasphemy flammability along with the fire resistance reduction from scorching ray to reduce enemies fire resist to very low levels, thus increasing the damage output greatly. It doesn't require more than a 4link and yet the damage output is significant enough to melt nearly everything. From our Doon Cuebiyari we get a lvl 30 iron will which gives an impressive damage boost to our scorching ray/flame surge setup based on our strength. Because we only need a 4link, it allows us to run a Kaom's heart and have a large life pool. It can run maps that prevent us from using our righteous fire such as no regen or 60% less regen because we can disable our righteous fire and still do adequate damage with only scorching ray and flame surge.



I have successfully completed up to guardian maps so far. Elemental Reflect is a non-issue because the only thing that is affected by this in the build is the flame surge damage. When considering our fire resist, this damage is quite minimal even on the hardest of mod maps. For the hardest of bosses, we can turn off our Righteous fire and have massive life regen so that we become nearly unkillable.

Ascendancy Class

I choose inquisitor for the consecrated ground damage and life regen boosts along with good increases to cast speed, attack speed, and damage combined with shield charge. We can shield charge around the map burning enemies fast enough to kill them simply by moving through them and while activating our Instruments of Virtue, Sanctify, and Pious path ascendancy passives. Overall, you are also easily able to reach the point where you can sustain the righteous fire burn damage and dish out a significant amount of damage ourselves.



Damage Per Second

These are the damage calculations for the three main skills that make up the damage output for this build: They are taken from the gear I have currently with all lvl 20 gems and no quality or jewels. Resistance calculations are also not included in the math so damage levels would actually go much higher than this against low fire resist enemies.

If you combine all the damage from the three spells, we are doing 141,291 damage to an enemy in the first second on average.

How to Play Use shield charge to move around the map clearing monster packs very quickly with your righteous fire damage. When you encounter a rare mob or something with very high level/fire resists, stop and focus your scorching ray beam on the target for a short duration. This should melt even the tankiest of rares in seconds. Staying in one spot will allow you to gain the benefits of the life regen and damage boost consecrated ground provides but be careful not to be too stationary against super high dps enemies or bosses.



Leveling Leveling with normal righteous fire builds can be a bit of a pain, however since we are Templar and have access to fire damage rather early, we can run firestorm, scorching ray, or incinerate for leveling. After we reach level 65, switch to righteous fire if you have the regen and items.



For bandit quests we take Oak/Passive Skill/Oak. Life and endurance charges are very beneficial and the passive skill is better than the other options for the cruel reward.



My Current Gear

Kaom's Heart is what makes you beefy and also provides a nice fire damage boost. It is highly recommended but if it cant be afforded, a Belly of the Beast or Cloak of Flame can also be considered among other things.



Doon Cuebiyari is what allows us to run only 3 links but still do amazing damage with our ranged and single target skill as scorching ray and flame surge. Large amounts of strength are what make this item really shine. Most people think because it is only a 3-link it can't compare but the damage output is actually pretty incredible at 800 strength.



Formless Inferno gives us a huge armor boost and also some further physical damage mitigation that is perfect with our extremely high max fire res. It means that physical damage hurts very little. Items with more fire res also further increase our armor. By the endgame, we have 10,000 life easily and are very tanky.



Rise of the phoenix is a required item for all righteous fire builds and gives us nice fire res. Try to get a maxed one if possible.



The rest of our gear should simply include Life, Strength, Armor, Enough res to cap us, and extra fire res for more armor.



Xoph's blood is an incredible item for this build. More fire resist means more armor from our formless inferno, more fire penetration, and huge life and strength boosts. When we cover enemies in ash they take more fire damage which is a rather significant boost do our already high dps.



Because we have no available slots for enduring cry, if you can afford Red Dream or Red Nightmare, this build becomes incredibly tanky and durable. Both items generate endurance charges from kills. Endurance charges provide further damage reduction and resists which further increase our armor because of the Formless Inferno. Optionally, combine this with a Koam's way and we get even more life regen from endurance charges. You become extremely hard to kill at this point.

Jewels

Here are the mods you should look for when buying or crafting jewels for this build.

Damage Mods (best to worst)

16% fire damage

10% damage

12% area damage

16% spell damage with shield

Defense mods (best to worst)

7% maximum life

+16 strength

15% fire resist (if needed)

10% all resist (if needed)

18% armour





Flasks

For my flasks I currently run the following:



The first flask should be a seething diving flask for emergency instant heal. This is my big hit or crit button. Use this to survive burst damage. I have remove shock here but you can also remove poison or freezing if you like. My second flask is a staunching eternal flask. I use a chemists but anything that gives more uses is acceptable here. My third key flask is a ruby flask. I add increased armor here and increased duration. This allows me to use my natural regen and get a nice boost to armor during the effect for extended healing and durability. For the 4th flask you can use a basalt or granite flask. This is to tank extra physical damage which allows us to facetank many bosses in the game. I add staunching here for extra bleeding protection but you could use other things if you prefer. The last flask and probably one of the most important is a sulphur flask. This enables us to create consecrated ground without hitting or being hit on demand. It also gives us an increase of 80% to damage while the flask is taking effect and while the player is on the consecrated ground. Last, the consecrated ground effect doesn't stack but it gives us our 2% life regen per second which is very nice for tanking. I use armor here but increased duration would also be very good.

Gem Setup

4link Shield Charge - Fortify - Fasterattacks + Purity of Fire

Use shield charge as your movement skill and to gain fortify when hitting enemies. Faster attacks increases the recovery rate from the charge thus makes it faster to use. Purity of Fire is not linked here but is required for the extra max resist for righteous fire.



3link Doons Scorching Ray - Cast When Channeling - Flame Surge

We are getting a lvl 30 Iron will here so both Flame Surge and Scorching Ray are getting a very nice damage boost from that. This essentially make this link setup into a 5link+ because of the huge bonus iron will gives based on our strength and the bonus we are getting from Righteous Fire to spell damage. Because we are running Koam's heart as our chest for the huge life boost, this is the best place to put our ranged damage source and provides a larger damage boost than a 4 link would with enough Strength.



4link Elemental Focus - Increased Area of Effect - Increased Burning Damage - Righteous Fire

This link setup gives us the best combination for clearing map standard monsters with good aoe radius. You should be able to nearly constantly shield charge through the map, killing monsters as you go without slowing down. For bosses swap the increased area of affect with concentrated effect for more single target damage.



2link cast when damage taken (level 1) - blade vortex (level 6)

This will crit often, enabling our elemental overload to stay up most of the time. Flame surge from our cast when channeling will also proc this. The effect is 40% increased damage on crit which is quite a nice boost.



2link Cast when damage taken (lvl 10) - Immortal Call (lvl 11)

This will use endurance charges to provide damage immunity for a short duration. When a Red Dream or Red Nightmare gem can be obtained, this can be leveled higher to keep the endurance charges longer for the benefits they provide before activating immortal call.



2link Blasphemy - Flammability

This will drop the fire resist of nearby enemies significantly, enabling you to do far more damage and constantly shield charge most packs without slowing down.



1link Summon Stone Golem

Provides nice tanking ability along with useful regen to counter your righteous fire burn.

We should get fire damage or other boosts to damage early and then move into life and then life regen. By hitting level 65 we want to have enough life regen to sustain righteous fire and enough HP to survive.

About My Builds

For each league, I design a new build, full character appearance, and guide. My guides are meant to create builds that make the game fun to play and are accessible rather than trivialize the content and make you fall asleep at the keyboard. If you are looking for a build that will make the game easy or able to be AFK farmed, my builds are not for you. For the Breach league, I created this concept. I hope you enjoy it! My legacy build link is available now! For each league, I design a new build, full character appearance, and guide.
