How do you kit out your Elemental Royalty?

[Shovah32]

If you have nothing better to do with your fire kings you can always go with:
Faithful(for luck), other hand item(I like eye shields. If you need a certain resistance you could get it here), skullcap, stymphallian wings, heart of life(or amulet of resilence if you can't do this), ring of regeneration.

Script him to phoenix pyre, maybe hold once or twice, and then attack rear/archers. With flight and trample he will be on them rather quickly and causing damage, setting people alight with his heat aura and fire shield.
Should he die, which he probably shouldn't - flying gives him a better choice of targets. Teleporting SC killer squads can kill him, but they kill most raiding SCs so...

My preferred king for this is rhuax, with summon earthpower being great for this build(more reinvigoration) and ironskin making him tougher in many cases than ethereality.

the heart of life... lol, that doesn't come up often, but it is a perfect use for it.

you can do the same with Antrax - no summon earthpower, but soul vortex makes up for it

[Shovah32]

Yeah, I forgot Antrax in that post - hes my favourite phoenix pyre guy(other than the D3F2E2 tartarian I got one time).

The heart of life gives the same reinvigoration(after the chest wound) as the amulet, and means that a chest wound wont kill you as quickly.

Unless you're 0 encumbrance, isn't the Fire King?

Not so, the royals all have 0 enc, so outside of spell-casting the heart of life is a clear winner over an amulet of resil.

The heart of life is actually much better than the amulet. You only get fatigue when you do something. So if your SC has killed all his foes and none in range, he gains +10 reinvig and the chest wound is not a factor. The amulet only ever gives you +5 reinvig.

keep in mind though quickness will screw you up with the heart, and sometimes you get quickness whether you want it or not (ie heroic quickness)

But the Elemental Royalty can't get heroic abilities.

Everybody stop picking apart what I said! - I am unwell and cannot be held responsible for anything I say, type or do.
