Peeked at JennoJoyce's 3.17 Tectonic Slam Chieftain guide from the forums for gear progression, and I also built upon a PoENinja Kalandra league's Chieftain.

League started as Resolute Technique noncrit 2handed Axe with all of the melee increased damage in the skill tree. Everything ezpz until red maps. 2Div total - Transitioned respec to staff crit, accuracy gear with Disintegrator, started attempting some bosses, first Sanctum clear in red maps after they stopped scaling and I learned mechanics 10Div total - Jewels, body armour for more crit and damage. T14, Pinnacle bosses, Sanctum on farm. 20Div total - Bought a fractured staff and used essences and benchcraft. Replaced all accuracy on gear with more stats. 40Div total - Awakened gems, Enlighten 4, Clusters, all the fancy stuff

My main deviations from the other builds I had referenced - Using 5 warcrys because I wanted the full piano experience. 20k armour, 8 endurance charges and I still take 200~ per swing from helmet. 3.20 Curse buffs made Battlemage Cry automation appealing Jewels with Life% and Crit Multi is unethical and I liked the tree's warcry nodes instead. No unique flasks. Diamond Flask with increased max charges the minimum I would be willing to press Berserk

Optimal? Not really. The other builds could deal almost double my damage, I mostly wanted consistency and where the build ended up at was good enough. Not an uber bosser. In 6 portals, got Uber Sirus down to 20%, Exarch to 50%. The rest are more forgiving with careful play.

Tanky? Didn't die much in mapping unless map mods reduced armour/block, raw added chaos damage from altars, or getting caught with the slow windup in slow zones. I think I was carried by the belt enchant for life% on kill with rage.

Clunky? Build prefers to move forward with the waves so mechanics that surround and spawn things on top is pain. Cooldowns are also a factor with Fist of War and such so too much speed and damage suffers (like in Simulacrum) Can eat 1 basic hit from the ubers from what I could see, otherwise dodging is required as usual. No clue how to calculate Tawhoa's Chosen damage. I assume it's probably like 20% of the max hit. I generally see it finishing off stronger mobs after the initial curse slam.
