Hi Everyone. I'm here asking for help.
I'm following this guide since the league started, and managed to do "something decent" until now...

I can't do maps in a "calm state". My righteous fire will sustain only if its alone (without support gems). And i think my dps is waaaaayyyyy low (not even 5k dps). Thats why it takes me ages to kill anything.

If possible, please, check my char. You did it in the past with another person who posted, and i used your replies a lot in order to find some decent gear (i was analyzing and buying accordingly to what my level allowed).

Also i don't have much currency. RNG doesn't like me and i don't get good items when trying to farm (if i had at least a chaos orb for each map...).

Well, any input is appreciated. Thanks a lot to those who read this.

PS: Using ES build with ROTP shield.

So first thing is first: get rid of generosity immediately. That gem makes all of your auras not effect you, only other party members.

Secondly, why do you have LW in your 5l scorching ray? Get that outta there and put in rapid decay in it's place.

Copy my links on my SeniorStrongThighs character but keep in mind that he is life-based

All of your gear needs replacing, and the previous advice I gave to others can be used for you too. I, personally, would not choose ES unless I had a shavs for low-life. I would do life until I had a shavs (which I'm currently doing)

And how would i switch to the life based version ?
I don't see how can i do that, since all gear i had (now) is ES based. Change skill tree or replace all gear to max life\increased life gear ?

I'll take a look on your char.
Thanks for the help ! You're the best !

edit: changed a few things(gems). But it seems i'll have to change ALL gear. LoL. Time to farm , right ?
Thanks !

I didn't say switch to life, I just said keep in mind my character in LHC is life based, so don't do exactly what I did (don't take life nodes for example lol). I said I personally would not do lowlife without a shavs because it's way too squishy, but then again I'm in hardcore so that's my mentality.

Your gear choices are up to you, but in order to make this work you are going to need some upgrades soon. All of your stuff should be very easy to upgrade though. Just keep an eye out for stuff that's good enough that isn't too expensive. If you insist on being lowlife/es without a shavs, you need to get a Solaris Lorica or you are going to RIP as soon as you come into contact with any chaos damage. I don't like Solaris Lorica because it has no ES, so you're missing out on the 400~ base es you get from shavs which is huge, but if the rest of your es gear is legit you could pull it off.

I tend to run uber lab a lot. Not sure why, really, I guess I just like it. This build is pretty amusing on the traps. Without RF running, you can stand on the lava or deliberately run on top of the saw blades back and forth without worrying about dying.

I've hit a point where I'm struggling with DPS a bit in higher level maps, however. Or DPS in a group setting, with 1-2 group members. I'm currently running lowlife with 10.8k ES, and can keep RF running without my ES dropping. My Scorching Ray does 22k DPS tooltip with RF running.

To fix the DPS issue, I'm fairly certain the most important things are to get that empower support leveled and 6L the chest (RNG has been against me in that regard this league). Having never played a spell caster, do you have any advice on how I might be able to boost my DPS in the short run?

Also, when crafting gear, such as those gloves or the helmet, are you generally master-crafting a suffix on, chaos spamming to get the ES rolls, and then using the master craft "prefixes cannot be changed" along with a scour to clear off the suffixes? I've generally not bothered crafting, but am probably going to start it up with this character.

EDIT: My 5L is normally Scorching, Cont. Dest., Ele. Focus, Rapid Decay, and Empower. I swap in IQ with RF on my 5L sometimes if it's an easier map, so ignore that if it's on my character page.

I saw in an earlier post what its takes to sustain righteous fire but I was wondering what level it took you to be able to sustain it in this new league?
