Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Righteous Fire builds are usually hailed for their ability to do most of the content effortlessly because of their great survivability and ability to deal damage uninterrupted. This relatively cheap RF Juggernaut is not an exception – it has great clear speed, damage and life pool which will play great in the new league.
Build Pros
- Very tanky
- Can do all the content in the game and without a doubt will perform well in Betrayal league
- Can use shield charge and move around quickly
Build Cons
- Can be a bit slow to start with in new league, but it's manageable

Rare Shaper HelmLook for rare Shaped helm that has “socketed gems deal 30% more elemental damage” option. Ideally you’d want that with “socketed gems are supported by level x Burning Damage”, but that’s more end-game option because it can be expensive to craft or buy. At the beginning just buy white shaped helmet and use Essence of Horror on it.
Body Armour
Kaom's HeartKaom’s Heart is one of the best chests for Righteous Fire builds because they don’t need as many sockets as other builds. Chest also gives you huge life pool and some fire damage to go with it.
Gloves
Rare GlovesLook for rare gloves with as much life and resistances you can find. Dexterity on gloves would be ideal – you could potentially save a point on 2 on the skill tree.
Boots
Rare BootsLook for rare boots with 30% movement speed, high life and resistances. Ideally you should also have “Regenerate 2% of life and mane per second if you were hit recently” lab enchant on them.
Left Ring
Kaom's Way2x Kaom’s Way rings are essential for the build because they give us life regeneration for each Endurance Charge. Since Juggernaut has a lot of Endurance Charges, these rings give tons of regen.
Note: make sure you do not get scammed, people often try to scam you by trading you Kaom’s Sign which is not one we need.
Amulet
Bloodgrip / Rare Elder Marble AmuletGood amulet to start with would be Bloodgrip. It’s cheap and gives us some life regeneration and life.
Ideal amulet would be Elder Marble amulet with % life regeneration crafted on it.
Belt
Rare Elder beltLook for belt with high life and resistances.
Ideal belt would be Elder belt with “x% increased life recovery rate”, because it would affect our global regeneration and reduce Righteous Fire degen.
1Hand Weapon
Doryani's CatalystDoryani’s Catalyst is great all-around weapon for the build.
Cheap alternative would be Balefire.
With 3.8, there have come some new
Offhand
Rise of The Phoenix / Saffel's FrameThere are 2 good shield choices – Rise of The Phoenix and Saffel’s Frame.
My suggestion would be to go for Rise of The Phoenix early and switch to Saffel’sĀ when you can comfortably sustain Righteous Fire degen.
Jewel
Jewel SetupOn jewels look for:
1.) Increased maximum life / to maximum life (Abyss Jewels)
2.) Increased burning / fire / area damage
3.) Increased Damage over time
4.) Attributes if you are lacking
Jewel
Watcher's EyeWhen you have some more currency, I’d strongly suggest investing in Vitality Watcher’s Eye.
Look for increased life recovery rate or flat regeneration one.
Flask
Flask setupLook for following flasks:
1.) Instant Recovery Life Flask
2.) Forbidden Taste
3.) Witchfire Brew
4.) Quicksilver Flask
5.) Ruby Flask with burning removal for emergencies
I am kind of new to POE, so I wonder what I am supposed to look for regarding leveling gear. Obviously I need a good mix of damage and health/resistances but is it better to have only physical damage or do I need elemental damage and are resistances generally more important than getting a lot of hp early on, or is it the opposite way.
Don’t bother with physical damage as this is elemental damage build. In terms of gear, grab 2x Pyre rings for great damage, they are quite cheap, and use Scorching Ray to level. Before that, any fire spell will work.
You can go to act 6 without bothering to cap resistances pretty easily, after that you will start to feel damage if they are low. The fact that we are going with Juggernaut helps as well – each Endurance charge gives us +4% to all elemental resistances.
My suggestion about damage and defense mix is to go mostly for damage – if you start to die easily, add some tankiness and you should be set.
Hi. There is no skill tree for this build š
It’s 3.4 tree, the one on official website isn’t updated yet, but it will be when league goes live. š
Can you add some lvling trees? Im having a hard time figuring out what to get first
It’s not letting me use shield charge
Then you’re probably doing something wrong. Make sure you follow guide to the letter if you want no problems.
got a question, why is the enlighten gem set at lvl 4? is there any specific reason that you wouldn’t lvl it up beyond 4?
Level 4 is maximum possible level for Enlighten and it is only achievable by corrupting level 3 Enlighten and getting lucky.
What sort of budget would I be wanting to look at this build?
This build would be around 10 EX to start off.
My orb of storms is dealing fire damage from somewhere and I have no idea where which is making elemental equilibrium unusable. My sceptre does not deal flat fire damage but has % increased fire damage, my gloves are ondar’s clasp which deal flat lightning damage to attacks. Why is this happening?
Is it possible that you have accidentally taken Avatar of Fire from tree or from other items? It’s really close to your pathing and can be easily specced in by mistake. Also is it possible you have fire damage to spells from anywhere such as Abyss jewel?
The skill tree is not complete for level 100? Anyone where i can find the full tree thanks
Are you already level 90? If so, you shouldn’t have a problem finding where to put those last 10 points, it’s up to preference š
Im getting crushed by any maps with lightning, what am i messing up here?
Maps with extra damage as lightning? Your lightning res is probably capped though, yes?
Haha actually i realised my rares were trash and now im capped and its much better
Also, not that I have the jewel yet, which slot is meek of the might supposed to go into to reach constitution – The regen node with the socket or one of the str nodes with a socket?
