PoE Chieftain, Mapping builds

&x200B; YouTube Video Showcase of the Build and Gameplay : I thought you guys would enjoy this here, so here's a quick post on my thoughts after playing it. &x200B; Hello, this is Dr3ad from Epoch Builds, and in today's forum post we are going to go over the final showcase and update for the EK Nova Chieftain. So normally I talk about if you should play the build later, but this time we are going to talk about that now. Probably do not play this build, this was more of a fun project because I wanted to play Chieft

Build showcase part 1: level 89 gameplay: Level 95 PoB Preface So I had a few days to play around with the build I posted 5 days ago. I got to level 95 very quickly (for my pace)! After a bunch of tree changes and item upgrades I wanted to give a quick summary. _All gear except for uniques and jewels I either found or crafted_ Pros smooth mapping - For some hipst

Just prior to league start, I theorycrafted a couple of builds: a Hexblast Occultist and a RF/Searing Bond Cheiftan. At he last minute I decided to go with the Cheiftan as the defences looked more solid, and I couldn't be happier. This has been the smoothest, easiest league start I've experienced, and one of the strongest builds I've played in my 1200 hours in POE. Thus far, I've invested a grand total of 25c on this build, and 22c of that was on the amulet. Close to 1m DPS with pretty average gear and cheap-as-mud uniques

1. Make sure timing is right for Ngmahu while you stack frenzy on hydrosphere 2. Drop totems near boss, throw WoC mine (will need to mana flask here) 3. Charge snipe, drop doedre totem near boss (~2.5sec), detonate WoC mine 4. Frostblink in 5. piano Diamond and Bottled Faith (if you have the $$$) 6. Let go and IMMEDIATELY cast Assassin's Mark This will trigger all the totems to hit target -- we need 20 in 1 second. Totems have (atm) 2.02 attacks per second (4 arrow barrage) We have 6 totems -- this means 24 attacks in the first 0.51 seconds. We then have another 0.49 seconds for the arrows to

With the changes to monsters HPs, our damage reduction and survivability, I think it's time to dust off my Bodyswap chieftain. I cannibalized this one from an obscure 3.1 and 3.9 builds, where the first one was truthful, the other had half the damage boosted in typical POB warrior, fashion and was crit based, and brought it to the modern age of 3.15. --- POB Settings: Shaper, no bullshit damage multipliers Flask off, (except MS-old one). Vaal auras off RF OFF (can be probably turned on). Vaal RF Off Hexproof (curse off) --- Skills: Wave of convict

Hey guys, previous post here My new PoB! Since that post, I've gotten some feedback, and now the build clears even better, and has more damage! You can see that I've been collecting a few items for the post (based on the item names, New Item is theoretical), but I'm still in white tier maps after sitting in PoB so long haha, I'm sure some of you can relate. So, the build: The entire build is now Crit, and can hit 5mil slams on Shaper (how below). 85% fire,

Leveling (Not tested) -Create a witch and level it to for grab flamewall and arcane surge -With Chieftain us Fireball + Arcane Surge to level 4 -Use Holy Flame totem + added fire damge + Combustion and fireball with arcane surge - At level 12 grab searing bond + combustion with HFT - Craft a fire damage wand with an alteration + ruby ring and magic wand or scepter as soon as possible. -Be on the look out for high physical dps bows. -Switch to Artillery ballista after library 2 reds 1 green or 2 greens 1 red Artillery ballista + Elemental damage with Attacks + Added Fire Damage or Vici

Is this viable for the end game? I'm currently just at the start of mapping, I think I have reached T4 and fought Baran once, but I want to respec this character into the build above, because I started to die way too often to my liking, so I adopted as much defensive layers I figured I can realistically do while still doing enough damage not to get stuck on each magic monster pack. This character currently runs pretty much all the same build, but with a different tree and different utility gem setups because initially I had a different build in mind before findi
