Hey guys, been putting together some thoughts around the new gems now PoB has been updated and ran into an interesting idea I'm trying to build out PoB: https://pastebin.com/iqHuUmnG
The basic idea I'm considering is using Chieftain to power a fully fire converted shield crush which then can trigger a number of different spells from the battlemage. Depending on what spells we might pick here (I've been messing with Reap/Discharge) I think the numbers could be there to make something fun out of this combination of skills although its not going to be a meta killer. Using shield crush to power the spell removes a lot of the pressure on grabbing a big 2h stick however we do lose the ability to double 6 link.
Definitely a WIP but I think there could be enough there for more seasoned eyes to improve...
