PoE Chieftain, Melee builds

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: 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 kill

My main idea was going chieftain tectonic slam, just like in the "trailer" and using a 1Handed weapon + tukohama's fortress, I was talking about this on the discord of a private league and a guy (hello) that wanted to do the same mentioned using a sprinkler as the main weapon and it sounds good. this is a VERY unrealistic PoB I made with a 5L tectonic slam to "simulate" the damage of a single totem more or less (hopefully) I reached 800k dps without counting the dmg buff to totems. Although being made with some stupid and unrealistic gear, I think the tre

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,

Hello All I've been messing around with General's cry and I think i finally found the best (or most fun) combination. Here is my POB: Basically im using a 2h ax and my main 6 link is tectonic slam because its a great fire attack for chieftain. My second 6 link is generals cry with earthshatter. this is great because as long as i get at least 3 mirages, they will always create 15 spikes which i can easily detonate with tectonic slam so the synergy is great and the explosions are very satisfying. That with concentrated effect give

Hello this is the first time I'm ever writing and the build in the pastebin is one of the many stupid concepts I make but this one has some ridiculous damage,of course because the items I have on it are the (most) perfect items.I'd appreciate it if a 6Head guy that knows how to do math and has a better knowledge of the game and PoB had a look and share his opinion about the build,how viable it is,what can be better etc,etc P.S 1 There is a skill missing,I also want to use Infernal Cry but either the PoB hasn't yet released the patch with the new Warcries or I'm a pepega and can't find it,any

PoB concept: Basic Idea: Fist of War support gives a lot of Ailment damage for the next hit every 1.8 seconds. That's perfect for Ignite, I thought! So I made a build concept with it. Sadly I don't have the currency to start experimenting with it and I'm by no means an expert on Ignite and how to get the maximum amount of damage out of it. It's got about 1m dps in PoB with a few open slots (Helmet, Gloves, Boots, 1 Ring) and without Flasks and I don't know how realistic it would be to obtain the weapon I crafted. That's probably without WoC. Anywho, what do y
