Hi,folks!
Today I would bring you two fire retal builds.They are different,one is melee,the other is ranged,but they both use the same theory in fire retaliation.Now let’s begin.
Fire Retal Warlord

Stats in GT:
There’s a 90% probability that your first impression of this IMG is :wtf,isn’t it a physical retal warlord:furious:?
Yes,besides the weapon & devotions,they are almost the same.
But through this weapon SoulBlade,all physical damage(including retaliation physical damage) has been 100% converted to fire damage.

Fighting Callagadra:

Pros:
• High sheet Damage: average 150k & peak 240k
• 41 % Physical Resistance
• 2980 OA,3400 DA & 4600 Armor
• 6800 Damage Blocked,86% Block Chance & 100% Block Recover at all buffs
• Point Damage Absorption by:Stoneguard Ward,Overguard,Ascension,Phoenix Fire,Stone Form
IMG of peak Damage
• Could easily beat Kuba:p(I was suffered for Kuba for a long time when I played Cold Infiltrator.But I killed Kuba in SR 99 by this build.)
Cons:
• Boring!This build has got only one attack skill which is Righteous Fervor.No AEO skills!
• Not as good as the Physical Retal Warlord.I found it really hard when I fought Calla.Physical Retal Warlord could easily kill Calla,but I have to take
all kinds of potions & teleport to keep surviving.
• Be afraid of Kaisan in SR 90+.I failed to beat him one on one in SR100.
Ranged Fire Retal Paladin

Gladiator Crucible 150~170 naked run:
(Pay attention to the time I spent in killing Bosses & the critical damage numbers,most of which are over 100k)

Shattered Realms Shard 75~76 Boss phase:

Shattered Realms Shard 85:
(Met Kuba,Hinass,Kaisan & Aleksander,failed to finish in time.And the critical damage I hit Kuba reached 260K while standing in its bloody pool)
https://youtu.be/hbclTFyE30I
Pros:
• A lot of item skill bonus in Righteous Fervor,high sheet Damage: average 140k & peak 240k
• Effective fire RR
• 3400 DA & 3600 Armor
Cons:
• Because of its poor attack speed,two-hand ranged classes usually don’t perform very well in tough conflicts.I guess it can’t pass the deep level SR(85+),and I will try it later.
• Low attack speed & small OA
This build may be not as strong as the retal warlord,but it’s very interesting.
I do recommend you to play this build!It’s indeed a boss slayer in Gladiator Crucible.
For the lack of skill points,I use Snapshoting(permanent pet stats) in these two builds to get the max rank Celestial Presence.
(Bug,but I can’t stop using it,and I think Create will fix it some day.)
Here’s how it works:

If you don’t like it,you can change the skills in you way
I want to show you how the retaliation physical damage is 100% converted to fire damage.
Below is the third page of character window,retaliation damages which contain physical & fire .
And this’s the second page of character window,damage per hit in Righteous Fervor.You can see that there’s no physical damage at all.
Creeping ring is very good because it +3 to retributions.You don’t need to farm a twin one as mine,the more resistance it supplies,the better.
Or you can use Judicator’s Seals rings to replace.
So above are the whole things about the fire retal builds.I do hope you will have fun with them.
Looking forward to your remarks :p.
