I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Core 3 Plus running Android 4.3 with Kingoroot and now I want to factory reset it. Is it safe to do that?
I am using the stock ROM.

Yes, its safe to do factory reset.
However, I once tried this below approach and bricked my phone. So beware.
If you're using a custom recovery like TWRP and choose complete wipe.
(Advanced wipe -> select all options including Internal, system
,etc)
This erases the complete phone.
So after erase if you do not install a new custom rom immediately (without reboot), your phone goes into infinite loop.
You'll now be stuck with a phone which keeps restarting as no ROM's are available on the phone memory either because of the wipe.
Worst part, My phone didn't have an external SD card so I couldn't copy any other ROM into the phone and to install it later.
My Suggestion : Just be sure of the options you select during Wipe.
