PoE Chieftain, League Starter builds

Hello guys, i am playing an RF-Chieftain since leaguestart and i have investet everything into it because its soooo much fun. Now i have come to a point where i dont know what to upgrade anymore. I wont start a new char this league and will spend everything i get into this one but i wont have the currency for mirror tier items. So i thought lets ask the community what i could upgrade to be more tanky and do more damage. Dont get me wrong, i am tanky as hell and i have about 10 mil single target DPS, clear speed is also amazing thaks to hinekora and bereks respite but there i

Not tested and can't guarantee a good leaguestart experience with this, but it looks good enough on paper to share: 50k Armour 87% max res with no guard skill or flasks up DPS hard to estimate because it's spark, but should be around 1mil consistently enough to clear red maps, gonna have to tank some stuff on bosses though but it's thick enough to do that. Biggest problem will be movespeed, will likely end up needing elevated tailwind onslaught boots to feel ok. Coloring the chest will also be a pain so go for corrupted chests instead early on, it's one less ma

I was working on a molten strike chieftain starter and ended up coming up with this: &x200B; 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. &x200B; Any suggestions to improve this? Going non crit for league start cause it just seemed easier.

Want to try out Flicker Strike next league so i decided to make myself a flicker strike chieftain, probably as my leaguestarter. I have never played flicker strike before so any advice or feedback is appreciated. Will go for chieftain ascendancy nodes for strikes and melding. Tawhoas seems to be RLY good flicker strike next patch right ? Will probably change into voidforge flicker later on in the league so if anyone has some tips or PoBs for that would be appreciated. My PoB rn:

Pobbin link here. Idea is that I can scale fire res to high heavens for All res, Armour, and life regen. Then convert that armour to Damage with replica dreamfeather. replica dreamfeather isn't too bad to solo farm. Formless flame as well. Getting red nightmare will probably be a nightmare. Red nightmare is edited to represent the tattoos for that area. Just... the damage seems extremely bad, the movespeed seems extremely bad. Just feels like I'm hinging on trauma support being good way too much. I thought about Kaom's spirit, but with trauma I think it wou

488% increased fire dmg

Basic concept get max fire res, scale spark with nebulis and go ham on fire and chaos res. Hope that the explosion node on chieftain is made more consistant before league start. Scale damage with elemental overload, perma RF and low life condition. Didnt put much effort into the PoB, just a basic concept. &x200B;

PoB: This is my first league playing a slam build, been reworking it as I go. Right now it's clearing T14 maps with ease, not nearly finished yet but wanted to share the progress anyways. Pros: Huge slams which vaporize normal mobs Can permastun rare/map bosses Tanks massive hits with Fortify and Molten Shell Easy to gear Cons: Chaos damage is dangerous Not as fast as other builds Not a one button build. One skill for clear, one skill for single target, plus casting totems/buffs/curses as needed.

POB \- Lvl 94 CwCwDripAF on ninja Chieftain is currently tied for last with Glad at 0.6%. This is unacceptable. Bear with me, this build started as a meme but is now shredding t16 content so I'll try to explain what's going on Here is my StunCaster league start Chieftain. He started as Vaal Firestorm, but after snagging a good bloodnotch before they became inaccessible, I moved to pure VD/Flame Surge stuncasting. POB above is for my current form of build. Stormshroud jewel was a recent QoL addition but in no way needed. Prior t

Early Leveling for Totems: From Level 1: Start leveling from the start of Act 1 with Ground Slam + Chance to Bleed + Lifetap. Add Ancestral Protector Totem as soon as avaliable. From Level 8: Earthbreaker will become avaliable; switch out chance to bleed with Earthbreaker and run with Ground Slam and Lifetap until level 12. From Level 12: Switch Ground Slam with Volcanic Fissure for the rest of the game; from this point just following the gem setups as best as you can. Uniques to Prioritise in order 1. Brutus Lead Sprinkler 2. Crown of Eyes (With Ancestral Protector 18% speed uber lab en

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

&x200B; Really trying to learn how to piece things together build wise just overall. Open to ALL criticism and any info on making this better. Thank you for your time and feedback as it's my second time going from scratch on something!
