Righteous Fire Juggernaut

Righteous Fire has been a staple in the Path of Exile Community for a long time. Instead of going with the Inquisitor, this time we chose to switch to Juggernaut, which gives us more freedom and flexibility in our choices. Righteous Fire Builds deal most of their damage with Righteous Fire, an Aura that deals damage to enemies around you by simply walking through them. For killing Bosses, we utilize Fire Trap while walking around Bosses.

 

Rotation

  • Activate Auras: Determination – Malevolence – Skitterbots – Vitality
  • Activate Righteous Fire
  • Apply Curses (Elemental Weakness – Flammability) by using Arcanist Brand
  • Use Infernal Cry on Cooldown
  • Use Fire Trap to deal damage to Bosses
  • Use Shield Charge for movement, Flame Dash to move over obsticales

Leveling - Bandits

In order to be able to play this Build, you have to choose a Marauder in the Character Creation.

Before you reach the Endgame, players have to finish all 10 Acts of the Campaign. Most of the times, you will not be able to use the same abilities in the early game as you do in the Endgame. Here is an overview how you can progress easily throughout the Campaign. In this List, you will find all Gems to use in the Early Game, and To-Do Lists for all Act 1 – 10.
