Path of Exile 3.22 | Heavy Strike Trauma Chieftain - Fast Build Overview

Level with Ground Slam/Earthshatter for clear. You can Heavy Strike once you can get 2nd ascendancy for Tukohama node, or you can keep using the above slams. Beyond that I kind of built it like a scuffed Boneshatter. Grab mace or axe nodes as desired, and stack fire res/max fire res for tankiness. Phys as ele is very valuable if you scale attack speed higher. Main point of the build is to stun stuff comfortably. Volatility achieves that well, but you could also use Endurance Charge on Melee Stun for more reliable stuns at the cost of ~11% less damage. I already do very little damage so honestly... it probably doesn't matter. With all buffs up I reach maybe 2m DPS. --- REACHING 90 FIRE RES --- +5 from Purity of Fire (at least 25% inc aura effect) +1 from boot eldritch implicit +1 from armour mastery +1 from reservation mastery +1 from Barbarism notable +1 from Soul of Steel notable +3 from Prismatic Skin passive wheel +2 from strength tattoos from Ancestor league --- OTHER NOTABLE BUILD STUFF --- - Onslaught on Hit tattoo to replace the +30 dexterity notable. Not super expensive but will require you to get dex on gear for Blood Rage to be usable. - I used Forbidden Flesh/Flame for Unflinching to generate endurance charges reliably. Trauma stacks hurt too much otherwise. The jewels were cheap. - 22% phys taken as ele from Purity of Fire Watcher's Eye (10%) and Taste of Hate (12%) - if you can get a 15% roll and a helmet craft and it will help a LOT --- ALTERNATIVES YOU CAN DO --- - You could build with axe for more aspd and trauma stacking, will require more investment and phys taken as ele most likely - Get Undeniable from Juggernaut and path over to Precise Technique to get better damage output and get an alternate form of endurance charge gen (like Enduring Cry) - Increase amount of phys taken as ele
