Build Updates:
NEW 3.13 CHANGES:
- Essentially no changes of any kind this league. Chieftain was very slightly altered. Tasalio lost some life regeneration but gained a bit of additional physical damage taken as fire.
- While I don't recommend league starting this, it will still be a powerful choice for later in the league!
OLD CHANGES:
Heist Changes: Overall looking great!
- Changes to curses shouldn't heavily impact Asenath's Gentle Touch. Should still perform as expected.
Alternate Quality Gems to Look For:
Blade Vortex: 20% chance to create an additional Blade
Dash: Grants Phasing for 2.0 seconds
Second Wind: Supported Non-Instant Skills have +1 Cooldown Use & 10% Reduced CDR
Gem Changes:
- Link Enduring Cry to Second Wind for a bit of cooldown recovery speed!
Leveling Changes:
- Blade Vortex really starts feeling smoother after you pick up the skill effect duration cluster Potency of Will and add Unleash support.
- I recommend using two Axiom Perpetuums for early leveling.
- Some of the support gems included in the Level 1-12 setup won't be obtained until a few levels later. I recommend a setup like this:
Holy Flame Totem + Infused Channeling + Added Fire Damage
or
Purifying Flame + Arcane Surge + Added Fire Damage
Other notes:
- In retrospect the builds single target performance was overrated and is closer to a 4/5 with the recommended gear.
Sup yall! Looking for feedback on this BV chieftan I made with some people in discord. Thinking to league start this and hopefully take it to the moon!
