Damage multipliers - Ring of Flame

[LotusBlade]

What methods i can use to multiply dmg of ring of flame? There is fire dmg, okay, intelligence stats - i get it. What else? Played Titan Quest a lot many years ago and now want to make build i am used to play in other hack n slash games which is exactly having some ring auto damaging enemies as i approach them.

Fresh character as well, struggle with mana, no stash from others chars. Is there some good areas to farm for specific mage items early game to increase mana regen, ring of firw power etc?

- Ring of Flame deal fire dmg so it get boost by character intelligence, +% total dmg, +% elemental dmg, +% fire dmg will boost RoF dmg. You can also "boost" RoF dmg by using any reduced resistances debuff on enemies to lower their fire resistance.
- RoF drained character energy so quickly so you need get +flat and %energy regeneration source to lower this drained rate. Chararacter intelligence related to character energy regeneration too, so invest more to Intelligence would work. You can go to tq-db.net site, and searching with keyword "energy regeneration" (or shorter still works) and click to Loot table tab of items that you want to check out farming sources. Enemies in general and some bosses equip and can drop the items too, so you can farming the items from enemies that not listed in Loot Table if those enemies equip similar gears to the gears you want to farm. Example: you want to farming int armor for mage, so mage enemies can equip the item too, but may specific area.

- I still can searching almost any keywords on tq-db.net site (language: English, any type of internet browsers on pc).
- I don't said character can solved RoF energy drained at high lvl with just character int, don't put something that i don't said to my words. What's wrong with using gears, put points into energy or use energy potion, life leech, etc... to helps character not run out of energy so quickly? All those are features in game.

Different question, if i am planning to keep using ring of flame as main damage source, like, main-main in all situations, which other school i should consider to improve it (except neidan cus i don't have dlc)?

Previously (when atlasntis just got released) i tryed doing some builds with secondary Defense school, but ended up with very low dmg each time. And since this is my first character i prefer fast kill speed.

Yes, i have rune and never trully jumped into it, i do remember some crazy int stack ability which was weird when i used archer+rune. Will try it. Yes this character is melee mage, which is very bad news for any mage xD

Yep, tested flame ring with rune school and it works trully well, almost feels like developers desighned whole school with this combo in mind. You get +100% int and 25% extra ele dmg at first lvl of Rune + get 100 offense for early game and whooping -40% strenght requirements for weapons (you do need to switch staff into some sharp weapon unfortunatelly).

Fixed mana problem by equipping fast blade which deals 15% dmg to enemy mana and steals it. Now even without much int on items you get 500+ int in act 1 and flame ring does grows a lot with each stack of rune frenzy.

best option: https://tq-db.net/en/search/kopis
for ring: https://tq-db.net/en/search/veleda
for shield: https://tq-db.net/en/search/pelaron
for artifact: https://tq-db.net/en/equipment/apples-of-idun
for end game build u need at least 1 of them (i prefer using 2)
and yes rune+earth is great for ring of flame melee builds
%int is so useless about energy regen....u need flat energy regen at first place
energy leeching weapons can be little unreliable
