Righteous Fire of Arcane Devotion Scorching Ray
3.28 Mirage – Day 23 – March 28, 2026
New league: Mirage! I wanted to try something I hadn’t yet but I’m still an old man with bad wrists, so I chose Righteous Fire of Arcane Devotion as I had never tried to scale RF with mana. Probably not as good as classic life RF Chieftain but still does the job.
I kind of followed Captainlance9 build. I levelled up with Holy flame totems, flame wall, rolling magma until the end of act 2 once I got RF, enough fire res and life regen.
Then I spec Inquisitor first and did a classic life RF build which is great to do the campaign. I used Scorching Ray right away for single target.
I completed the campaign in about 7.5 hours which is great for me, dying 4 times because I went too fast…
I can’t remember exactly when I switched to mana RF, I believe it was in yellow map right after doing the 4th lab and securing the transfigured gem Righteous Fire of Arcane Devotion, Mindspiral, and The Ivory Tower.
I progressed to red maps, start to hit a plateau so I farmed some currencies on T14 with this version of the build: https://pobb.in/dvHiZ_YeGvuG until I was able to buy Mageblood.
Then I continued to gear up the character until I had enough. I was able to do most of the end games, only failed on Feared. Didn’t try Uber as it’s definitively not a build to do that, even if a good player could force it.
If I feel to play RF again, I would just play the Chieftain life version which I believe is better but this version ain’t too bad.

Please visit this Google Sheet to see the main information and POB data I kept track of. You can more easily compare with other builds.
What I liked
- Explosions – both Legacy of futy and the flaks do the job
- Easy on the wrists – not too many buttons
- Mapping – fast with Mageblood and don’t need to stop with RF
- Visibility – feels pretty clean
What I disliked
- Single target – not that much DPS for bossing
- Expensive – and if you keep it cheap, it’s quite underwhelming
- Defences – at this price, and with a low dps, you’d expect it to be immortal and while it’s tanky, it’s nowhere near immortal.
Would I play it again?
NO, probably the life version instead for cheaper and easier
