↖ Introduction

The Righteous Fire BodySwap Chieftain is a build that promises to turn your league start into a sizzling adventure. It's tailored for those who love to watch the world burn while they zip through maps with blazing speed. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves – this build isn't exactly the boss-slaying behemoth you might be dreaming of. It's a pure mapping maestro that will make your path-finding experience a fiery delight.

 

↖ PoB Discussion Starts

Imagine your Exile at Level 94 – not too far into progression but already brimming with potential. This build isn't going to sugarcoat things for you; it's not your go-to for bossing. But hey, that doesn't mean you can't conquer the Atlas and snatch those watch stones! Mapping is where this build truly shines, and that's precisely what we've optimized it for.

↖ Maximum Resistances

Let's talk resistances – because who likes being burnt to a crisp, right? To start off, Rise of Phoenix shield is where it's at (especially if you're SSF). It'll help keep your flaming friend lit up like a Christmas tree and cut down the elementalist's damage up to 8% (or 10% with the Valako notable). This will put you at a comfortable 90% fire resistance.

 

But wait – there's more! In the middle of your journey, you'll want to turn into a sponge that absorbs physical damage. That's where Dorm Breaker shield comes in. When swapping shields, you're gonna need a new friend for your fire resistance so meet Purity of Fire. Get it to level 21 and enjoy an extra crispy 5% max fire resistance boost.

 

And how do we amp up that aura? Stack that Aura effect! Grab some from sovereignty, introspection, and don't forget Charisma – it's not just for charming your way through life; it's also great for boosting your aura in PoE. Aim for that 90% max fire resistance with some gear tweaking and you're golden.

 

 

↖ Damage Taken As

Now, let's get down to business – converting damage types. Rise of Phoenix had its moment, but now it's time for full conversion with Dorm Breaker leading the charge. You'll hit around 75-80+% physical damage taken as fire damage - with Cloak of Flame chipping another 40%. Because if one layer isn't enough… why not go two?

 

Your helmet should be working hard too! Have no fear though because crafted Corell is here! And lastly - what build would be complete without a Watchers Eye? Get one with Armor and Energy Shield Mastery (fire or chaos preferred) and watch yourself not getting dropped by those pesky degens anymore.

 

And there you go, my friends – a build that makes pain turn into fiery rain (kind of). Physical damage from hits will only be about 10%, so you can laugh at danger. And as for Determination? We're saying goodbye to that old thing for some extra firepower.

 

 

↖ Tempered by War & Arctic Armour

• The Cool Factor: With Arctic Armour, you'll get 21% less physical damage and 20% less fire damage from hits. Which means while you're rooted, you're basically a walking iceberg on fire.
• Playing with Fire: Tempered by War is like the friend that convinces you to eat spicy food. It turns cold and lightning damage into fire damage. So while it does help with your elemental resistances, remember to boost your cold and lightning resistance elsewhere (probably in your gear).

 

↖ RF Elder Helmet

• Crafting 101: Elder Helmet plus Essence of Horror gives us burning (the good kind). Suffixes need to be locked and veiled for life modifier. Craft an additional % of physical damage taken as fire damage.
• No Sweat: Not only does the helmet have great synergy for Righteous Fire, but also saves us link sockets.

 

↖ Cluster Jewels

• Damage Delicacies: These jewels are optional at the beginning but become more important later on when we want more flavor for our damage profile.
• Chill Out: With Wrathful Flame , we cannot be chilled which means we're always ready to sizzle.

 

↖ Desecrate

• Corpse Kaboom: There's the occasional rare monster who just doesn't cook in time. Desecrate allows us to use BodySwap on them after summoning their corpse for a massive explosive hit.
• Space Saver: If socket pressure is too high feel free to use an unset ring for Desecrate while keeping everything else nice and cozy.

 

↖ Thoughts

• Atlas Adventurer: This build isn't just meant for setting things on fire but also about blazing through the atlas 
• The Future's Bright: We intend on starting this league with this build as well so I'll be pushing through maps early on and igniting bosses! As well as sharing all my scorching tales of success.
• Support the Flame: If you like what you see and want to support us on Patreon that would be greatly appreciated. And a big thank you to Acid Bath 101, our exalted supporter, your spark keeps the flame burning!

 

That's all for today fellow pyromaniacs! A guide to starting your league with a bang – or should I say, a blaze? Stay tuned for updates on this build's progression and remember: when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Set them on fire. Stay safe out there in Wraeclast!
