I was working on a molten strike chieftain starter and ended up coming up with this: https://pobb.in/F2tm4FKfdDSz

The defenses look pretty nice, and I was planning to replace 2 of the skill gems with returning projectiles and trauma support when they get added. I wasn't really sure how to get the correct dps in pob for molten strike so I'm just hoping it's significantly higher than what the number I got is lol.

Any suggestions to improve this? Going non crit for league start cause it just seemed easier.

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those

This build attempts to leverage 3.19 Fortify, Arctic Armour, Cloak of Flames, Mokou's Embrace, and 100% of elemental and physical damage taken as fire to create a tanky meme build with passable damage. 90% Max Fire res is achieved Exarch boot mod, Fire res small cluster, 4% from tree, and 7% from Purity of Fire. 100% taken as is achieved with Sublime Vision, PoF Watcher's, Helmet warband/delve mod, Cloak of Flames, Dawnbreaker, and Tasalio, Cleansing Water (Chieftain ascendancy).

Nothing here is finalized, but so far this is my most fleshed-out attempt at an SSF league starter for 3.19. This one is built for maximum ease of gearing and ease of play. Everything that costs mana is on a Lifetap and I let Tukohama's leech take care of sustain. Tasalio phys as fire is maybe better now that some of our armour scaling has been nerfed. Immortal Call is on a CWDT, although I may end up manually casting it and Enduring Cry is on left click. It's more for the rapid heal but of course I need something to proc Valako. VMS would certainly be a better guard skill, so if you have othe

I have thrown this together in the last hour or so as an quick idea to make best use of the new Cloak of Flame. Its still very rough around the Edges and needs to be fleshed out. Its meant for a Leaguestart SSF Enviroment. It includes Cloak of Flame and a Warlords Helmet though which may need a few days to obtain, longer if unlucky. But i am confident you could live off of Armour longer if needed. I am thankful for any ideas to improve it. I am sure i have some oversights i could easily include since i didnt spend very long on it and im unfamilar with Melee based scaling. None of the gear b
