There's a ghost that disables your flasks and you don't want to meet that on this build, especially if you cap your resists using flasks. IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: For the endgame setup you want BOTH Taste of Hate AND Lightning Coil. If you don't have that yet make sure to swap both your skillset and gearset to the pre-coil versions. 3.23 CHANGES < The biggest change from 3.23 is that the 10% AoE from Toxic Rain quality got replaced by d

So I was thinking of league starting as Righteous Fire. The new masteries makes leveling a breeze, but how realistic do you think it is to migrate to this after a week or two?

Important notes Mana regen % anywhere you can get it from is really really good - start with clarity and replace it with herald of thunder once you get enough mana regen Gloves w/ spell damage leeched as ES are a huge survivability boost. Surgeons prefix on flasks is stupidly OP (we have 100% crit chance and fast cast speed so this is insanely good for us and gives the flasks massive uptime on bossfights)
