PoE Chieftain, Slam builds

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.

Hey, wanted to give a detailed account of my first day with Exerted Volcanic fissure Chieftain, here my profile since I don't have access to pob right now. Leveling 1-12: Ground Slam - Chance to bleed - Ruthless / Intimidate - Blood and Sand - War banner: was fine a little bit on the slow side, nothing special. 12-38: Volcanic Fissure - Elemental damage with attacks - Added fire / Intimidate (for bosses) - Seismic Cry (for clear) / Herald of Purity - Herald of Ash - Blood Sand: I have seen that most people playing V

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

pob: AG Gear: Gruthkul's Pelt nearby enemies have -9 fire res helm Sap ground implicit boots with +35% fire and lightning res Southbound Gloves with ele weakness Kingmaker Specters: Xoph's Favoured x2 Kinda bad single target damage, but it's really fun for mapping. Has full ele avoid, 39k armour, and 77/76/76 max res - could probably get this close to 80 if you pick up the Prismatic Skin cluster (which i might do). Hits cannot be evaded + Second sight to get capped crit always without assmark or bottled faith,

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

In the upcoming league they are buffing the Tawhoa's chosen buff in the Chieftain tree from 50% more damage to 100 , so i wanted to play around with the idea of having a slam ignite build. My build idea is to use slams and the second attack of Tawhoa's chosen to inflict a huge double burn utilizing Emberwake. On paper it seems ok. With non permanent buffs disabled on a 5 link I hit \~900k ignite DPS. 229% increased life, good armor and a defensive aura, stance and banner. Does anyone have any recommendations for the build? I've been out of the game for a few leagues, so I may be missing some

First of all here is the build: So, I have an overall pretty standard earthbreaker build with strenght stacking and all the usual things you see in the common build. It reaches almost 20m sirus dps with endgame gear (although nothing too crazy) and around 8m dps with mediocre gear, now this is with vaal ancestral warchief active without it its 10m dps and 4m dps respectively. Now the thing is that with minor adjustments to the build, it can use tukohama fortress by changing a bit the tree (you need to get accuracy rating from the

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 don't really have any experience with making my own builds; I was interested in replaying the Strength Stacker that Zizaran originally made with Mahuxotl's Machination; with the build being both tanky and able to do a fair amount of damage with Vaal Ground Slam;. I wanted to use Blunderbore and The Gull with this to make use of shrines. I have tried referencing the PoB for the build and with some new items such as Melding I tried to make the build as tanky whilst also blocking. However, in doing so I know that I have avoided damage; after having a look I'm not too sure where I can path to t

Act 1 Gems: Damage Skills: Holy Flame Totem (Lvl 4) - Added Fire Damage - Ruthless (Lvl 2) Ancestral Protector - Added Fire Damage - Ruthless Auras and Utility Steelskin, Precision, Vitality, Leap Slam (Dash Prior) Act 2 Gems: Supports to grab: Faster Attacks Support, Culling Strike Support, Elemental Damage with Attacks, Melee Physical Damage Auras: Herald of Ash, Herald of Purity (probably better) Act 3 Gems: THE BIG BOI, ANCESTRAL WARCHI

First things first, this is NOT MY BUILD. I saved the POB last league and cannot remember who made it. This build has the advantages of being very good DPS with totems leaching damage for you (which is huge). You just lay down your totems and dodge boss mechanics. I wanted to add a new build idea since I am seeing mostly the same builds being posted. Link to POB
