PoE Chieftain, League Starter builds

Pros: +Good damage from SSF Gear +Marauder "caster" + Good clear and good boss damage + Tanky Cons: - 2 buttons playstile (BF set blades -- BB go brr) - clunky if lacking cast speed - Mana can be a problem Leveling: Use a templar to mule PFlame after hillock Chromatic items are good color PFlame + Added Fire + Onslaugh Craft added fire damage on Sceptre early (ruby ring + alteration + sceptre) Use HFTotem to help on single target Leap slam to move aro

Since there is probably like no one playing this i just to want to leave this here in case anyone is interested in an off meta build: This is no overly optimized Build but just my own Character I played in the Archnemesis League. In that league i completed 36 Challenges with it. After that i took a break for the last league. It currently makes use of petrified blood for the overleech and for life regeneration to have a bigger impact as well as to increase the damage through pain attunement on Skin of the Lords to save the passive

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

This build is attempting to maximize the buffs given by Her Embrace (from Oni Goroshi) by adding physical damage and "gain % Physical Damage as extra Fire Damage" modifiers and stacking increased Fire Damage/More Fire Damage modifiers. Two strategies for defenses: 1. Regular defenses, stacking Life, Strength, and resistances (problematic with Abyssus helm, Her Embrace degen) 2. Converting physical damage (mostly Hits, also degens) into elemental damage and then utilizing Transcendence to apply stacked Armour to elemental Hits on top of resistances. Ditching Strength stacking for more poin

This build attempts to leverage 3.19 Fortify, Arctic Armour, Cloak of Flames, Mokou's Embrace, and 100% of elemental and physical damage taken as fire to create a tanky meme build with passable damage. 90% Max Fire res is achieved Exarch boot mod, Fire res small cluster, 4% from tree, and 7% from Purity of Fire. 100% taken as is achieved with Sublime Vision, PoF Watcher's, Helmet warband/delve mod, Cloak of Flames, Dawnbreaker, and Tasalio, Cleansing Water (Chieftain ascendancy). A perfectly rolled Dawnbreaker isn't actually nee

I was bored and decided to make a quick build with the just as of 8 August teased new Mokou's Embrace. I was too lazy to make seperate gem setups per level, but if you're following this build you're probably a grown up and you can decide for yourself what you wanna do in life. Make sure, you're resistance capped first. Gluttony belt is mandatory to ignite ourselves with shield charge/flame dash even though we can't activate our life recovery, we can use it to activate onslaught from our chest and our amulet which gives us endurance charge generation. We nee

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

Hey iam currently theorycrafting a more budgetfriendly Reap chieftain league starter without the sublime vision jewel. And iam wondering if the 5% lightning and cold damage, that are basically not mitigated, are going to kill me. The PoB looks good so far. Help is appreciated! PoB:

Full Guide: Patreon: Build Updates: NEW 3.13 CHANGES: - Essentially no changes of any kind this league. Chieftain was very slightly altered. Tasalio lost some life regeneration but gained a bit of additional physical damage taken as fire. - While I don't recommend league starting this, it will still be a powerful choice for later in the league! OLD CHANGES: Heist Changes: Overall looking great! - Changes to curses shouldn't heavily impact Asenath's Gentle Touch. Should still perform as expected. Alternate Quality Gems

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

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

Something im probably gonna start unless i find good energy blade build rare items with life > str > resist > regen incursion staff with fire multi, and burning dmg has good scaling options if you would wanna push it further than start with it

For the RF enthusiast I am excited to see the passive tree bring so many goodies for us. I'd Like to share the skill tree I whipped up and was wondering what ppl thought/ what others are doing for our beloved burning man. I believe that going chieftain is the play being able to so easily hit 90% max fire res. Turning phys hits to fire will help makes us much tankier and the ascendancy provides a good amount of damage. With pretty obtainable gear I think POB would be a good start for those who wish to play rf. IK the jewels will b
