Movement speed and damage absorption. Chug a health potion if needed.

^This is what I do. It gives you eight sections of 75% damage reduction, I believe.

aetherfire grounds have safe spots where you can either completely avoid dmg, ex port valbury
or rest up and heal up on patches with unavoidable aetherfire before you continue, ex the aetherfire path in dead man's gulch leading to The Immolation
movement skills like Vire's Might, leap, etc greatly help traverse these areas with aetherfire ground effect, but are not mandatory, and at worst all you need is a health pot or pay attention to safespots

+3000 regen per second also helps. :)

Link please, so I can get an idea of how to set that up.

If I remember correctly there are different damages from different size aether grounds too. Like the bigger the "lightning bolt" the more damage it does to you, so if you have to run through them avoid those.

it is not very difficult to raise regeneration in almost any build. It's just that it will almost always be at the expense of something else.

3k regen on VF build seems low - pretty sure i've seen ember's calling builds with like 3x as much

[Uzul]

I didn't set such a goal. :) This is quite achieved by changing rings, medals, and relics, but there is not much sense. The hero's life is quite small. If you miss so much damage that 3k is not enough , then 10к is not enough too.
The priority was to deal massive damage to weak mobs and reduce the available elemental resistances, for greater synergy with other teammates. And regeneration is needed-so that they don't accidentally kill in a crowd.

[gNuff!~©~gNom3™]

difference is that 3k hp/sec isn't necessarily gonna be enough to heal you up fully all the time without other active heals/lifesteal
10k hp/sec will definitely keep you topped off since it's almost as much as maxmum potential incoming dmg
think my my point is that it appears "strange" to make a VF centred build, but not use the VF centred set (ember's calling) ? - not saying one has to, just that it seems like it would be an automatic build boost, maybe, when it's available now

[Uzul]

On the contrary, I took off the set of the Amber Call. It did not meet the required requirements. :) Although it would be even faster VF in it, I know this.
