Core Mechanics Explained
Righteous Fire deals damage by consuming your own life and energy shield to create a burning aura. Juggernaut excels here due to his regeneration, armor scaling, and endurance charges, allowing for sustainable burning without risk of self-death.
Passive Skill Tree Choices
Focus on nodes that grant increased maximum life, life regeneration, fire damage, and armor. Keystone nodes like “Elemental Equilibrium” and “Unwavering Stance” complement the build’s tanky and damage-oriented approach.
Ascendancy Prioritization
The optimal ascendancy order includes:
Unflinching (endurance charges)
Unyielding (damage and regen scaling)
Unrelenting (resistance boost)
Unbreakable (armor and regen buff)
These choices enhance survivability and burn output.
Gear Recommendations
Stack maximum life and fire resistance. Prioritize unique items like “Rise of the Phoenix” for fire resist or “Saffell’s Frame” for spell block. Flasks with regen mods are crucial for sustain during mapping and boss fights.
