Path of Exile 3.22 Righteous Fire Inquisitor Build Guide

[@PohxKappa]

Hello everyone! little clarification, about halfway through the vid when I was talking about getting your voidstones with 1.4m DPS I was referring to the first 2 voidstones from Eater & Exarch. Maven & uber elder are quite a step up in difficulty!

[@michaelrobinson4082]

Hey man I don't usually comment on any of these videos but I gotta say to you man, you're rf guide being so well detailed saved this game for me. Since then I've learned how to craft a whole lot better and actually get to the point of attempting to minmax. Have also gotten to the point I can play toxic rain characters pretty well from what I've learned crafting for my RF build. Unfortunately I seem to be stuck around the 95-96 levels but I'll get there. Keep up the good work.

[@WinoaKaronhiatens]

Curious if it's an affordable build this league. I kind of last played during Kalundra and that league destroyed drop rates and a lot of fun for me to want to play. Missed out by doing Raging Skulls the league before to get experience RF with it being cheap.

[@PohxKappa]

@@WinoaKaronhiatens jugg version is usually cheaper

[@kserra9112]

Just pointing out that on the skill page 70-85, that instead of Tempest Shield you have Frost Shield , but it also seems you can't lifetap it anymore either

In 3.21 for the first time in 2.6k hours played I crafted my own gear. Your guidance made it feel like I actually knew what I was doing. Started 3.22 with, for the first time, complete confidence in my plans for the league. The guides you make are the best guides for even a brand new player that anyone has produced in 10 years of path of exile. Thanks bud.

[@andrebenoit404]

My wife and I both loved how many notes you put on your RF builds. She had started on someone else's build and I told her to switch to yours and she was really grateful for all the notes you added to it. It made it super easy to follow and understand.

[@kilangar]

Not sure if I will be starting rf inq this league (played it multiple times) but the amount of work you put in your guide is fantastic. I hope many people this league get to discover how good this build is!

[@down-the-rabbit-hole]

If RF was much better at killing bosses, I'd play it again, but the struggle last league made me decide to go EA Champ this league.

[@lucascauduro6865]

Its incredible the detail in Pohx guides EVERY season, thx for the hard work man

[@Imhotep-Still-Juicy]

Hi Pohx, Big thank you for all the work you've put into providing resources to support and explain your Build to other players. I've just reached end game following your build (Mostly) and I found the Wiki-page, FAQs section etc to be very useful in understanding how and why you've made certain choices along the way. As a new player to the game, this made my playthrough a blast, or more accurately an inferno! I'm sure others have conveyed how useful the information and guides you've produced have been, but I wanted to express gratitude for the effort you've made in helping others as your POB is very well done. I appreciate a POB that has selections for skill gems, items and the passive skills at various levels rather than just the end-build. It really helps to understand where to spend the passive points during the levelling process because sometimes experienced players making videos reference aspects or items in the game that a new player has no idea of. Thanks again Righteous Fire Master.

[@kevinschulze3090]

just impressive with the details you share and your passion to share it with the community!

[@madskofoed5339]

This guide is tremendous for a new player. Very creative and thoughtful guide, with a website to boot. Impressive, well done.

[@Heinzold]

Thank you for the extensive guide Pohx. I played Lightning Arrow last league and even though it was obviously super strong I found that I had to check in 20 different places all the time just to know how to progress the build and what to do with my gear. I really appreciate that you try to make it as beginner friendly as possible and that you compiled so much information in your wiki. I will definetly return to RF this league!

[@lars5167]

I just wanted to say thank you for the detailed guide, it shows that you have invested a lot of effort and time.

[@LlenadeMalo]

Your build and guide helped me understand some fundamentals of the game that I lacked. TY

[@AKA_Yo_Dude]

I will more than likely follow your RF guide for Jugg, this looks fun and as someone who comes into PoE gets overwhelmed then leaves i think i might actually try and kill my first bosses this league :) thank you so much for all the effort

[@jacobrivers8339]

I just played POE for the first time ever this season and I wanted an easier build to get used to the game and I found Pohx's rf jugg guide and all I can say is definitely give it a shot because he made my transition into this game pretty much effortless. Anything I had a question for while leveling, he had an answer in his guide. When I first tried playing POE years ago I got overwhelmed and quit way too fast but this time around Pohx helped me fall in love with POE and it is now my favorite game I've ever played.

[@gilberthellevig7330]

Thanks for all your RF Jugg guides :) I can't wait to try Inquisitor guide! Your guides and videos have really opened this game to me :)

[@ds9150]

Thankyou for being so dedicated and makes things easier for casual players like me.

[@TheDeadStyx]

@PohxKappa, as people say "Church of Pohx". Your builds have been a nobrainer for me for the past... I think already 5 leagues. One thing wanted to share - consider "Storm call" as a Act 1 -> pre RF. Decided to try it out ("storm call" + added lightning + arcane). Feels really smooth at 10-20+ levels.

[@mygotbebo]

First time following one of your builds and breezing through content like never before! the inquisitor version is great thanks for the hard work!

Thank you for this in video format, reading walls of text sometimes just does not click for me, seeing and hearing the differences between Jugg and Inq works better for me.

As a new player it made everything so easy to understand and made every other aspect of the game easier to understand, now i have multiple characters in standard at 90+, but still go back to my RF to feed them all and will def be playing RF INQ at league start.

i just got a steam deck and as a mouse and keyboard player i think this is the only build i could ever play with a ''controller'' so this right here is the answer to my problem. But i'm undecided on whether to follow jugg or inquisitor, im not a new player but i might as well be with how different a controller feels.

I am making my second main right now as a rf char. I didnt follow the guide exactly but pretty close. I got rf up by mid act 2 on ruthless if you have a couple of orbs (hint just say you have half people will almost always still sell you at half off lmao) you can get enough regen hp gear to make this happen fyi for anyone debating this class.

[@Interrobang212]

Thanks for your hard work on this build Pohx. I practiced this build and the jug build in standard while waiting for the league. I think the Inq is a lot more fun to level in the early acts, since you get to start with damage nodes instead of life nodes. Less respeccing too, which can be confusing for some people like me. Excited to start the league with this!

[@joshchilton2336]

Guides are awesome. I'm thinking going with this till 80 or 90 and respec to something juicy for bossing once I have bit of funds.

I love you man You're doing a great job And beside amazing build your attitude that's what makes it even better👍

[@TQP-Tukolpka]

Hello there, nice vid, Is there, or could rughteous fire work with elementalist ? :D

[@foxdavion6865]

This build is surprisingly easy to gear for, the issue lies in getting those chunky high mana, dex and recovery requirements, you need roughly ~1200 mana to run level 20 of each aura with enough mana left to spam fire trap 4 times before your mana runs out, you will also be rocking Purity of Elements for a long long time until then too. which means it is better to go for whole values on Dex, Int, Mana, Life with a free slot for crafting on what is needed when you start mapping than looking for OMG IT HAS 5 OR 6 MODIFERS THIS IS GREAT. No, if it has something like stun and block recovery it is rubbish that is a wasted slot. I can not stress enough how important Fire Exposer is to an RF build and you can only really get fire exposure on Inquisitor and Juggernaut from Wave of Conviction and Scorching Ray; Since Scorching Ray takes too long to charge and only variants of it from Heist or the Corrupted version are any good plus are only really useful for single targets, they should be disregarded anyway. Without Fire Exposure, half the bosses in the game won't melt to Fire Traps when you stack them and half the yellow and unique bosses such as Rogue Exiles, League Challenge objective targets and event bosses tied to mechanics you need to down quickly to benefit from fully unless they have the Exposer debuff. Wave of Conviction only applies it for a short time too, but it is better than nothing because it is a conical spread, but not ideal, plus it takes up a gem socket - two if tied to lifetap. You'll want to get Imp/Demon/Archdemon Crown from Rituals, so focus on Rituals in your Atlas passives and throw Fire Trap into it so that Fire Trap does the Exposure, but again is sub optimal. OR better yet to apply it universally you'll need to get Master of Fire or Corrosive Elements Cluster Jewel passive (which you can buy from other players for a massive amount of currency on trade) or what you should be aiming for when you hit yellow maps is the Conquest suffix, preferably on gloves as helm should be an elder base. Without Fire Exposer again, anything after level 50 will not melt to RF damage, it will stay there and take it for 5 minutes slowly ticking away, or take no damage at all if they have fire resistance. Exposure is designed to go "oh you have fire resistance, that's nice - here lose it!".

[@anthonyharding4380]

Thank you for this video 😊💪

hi! two questions pls: 1) why melding of the flesh? what is the benefit pls, i can only see downsides? 2) your timeless jewel is simply not available, i saw it once for 150 div.. and before i decided wether that is worth it or not, it was sold. havent seen another one for days. are there alternatives pls?

[@PohxKappa]

Melding allows you to focus on scaling one max res in this instance cold res due to aegis aurora. With proper setup we can reach 87+ all res. As for the timeless jewel you should never copy the one from pob. It's always going to be inflated in price. If you're confused on brutal restraint check out my website pohx.net/faq and search "brutal"

[@MrNukedawhales]

@@PohxKappa thanks for the reply! 1) in your pob you have 47% cold res and 79% max res.. up 2% from without the jewel - which doesnt exactely showcase the 87% possibility... thats why i was confused, i guess. 2) thanks for the tips on your website, ill try to find one with calculator... but i couldnt find the search function on your website, used ctrl+f.

[@mohammadalzahrani7788]

hi Pohx thank u man for ur efforts

[@PwnUWithEz]

The 85-90 range is actually were I get stuck every league. It doest matter how much a guide is followed, the problem usually is that it feels like a catch-22 when you hit red maps- you need the currency to make ur character better... at farming the currency you need to min-max

[@darkevilazn]

If you get stuck there, change to a low effort and cost farming strat. I usually recommend essence alch and go farming as the best strat, with a side of einhar or expedition depending on taste, since it works in white maps too. Don't do full clears, only go after the essences and/or bosses, corrupt the purple essences, and you should have enough currency to either buy better gear, or craft it yourself. This is one of the best strats and still works well into week 2.
