so given what has been said what would you suggest to me. ive been looking at the chieftain version due to it being able to swap to a pure conc path build and it being relatively cheaper although expense isnt THAT big of a deal. ive never even done uber elder but do want to be able to when the time comes. mainly burn maps and normal elder/shaper ect. so again slayer or champ or chief?

If Uber Elder is your goal, melee build will have way tougher times when compared to spell builds.

Melee players will likely have to wait for patch 3.7 for this meta to shift.

Based on my personal experience playing melee and spell builds for Uber Elder, melee builds though capable of beating the boss, has way tougher time unless you are BladeFlurry.

If you want a budget starter build, Chieftain will be the best call. As to Slayer vs Champion, either is fine and it will only cost you 40 regrets to do the switch.

im not set on uber elder in particular i just want something that can clear most content at a decent pace while being able to take a hit. fast smooth hard hitting and takes a hit. having trouble deciding if this is the build for me and if so which of the many variations are best for what i have mentioned.

Hey I have been loving this build but recently I have hit some sort of gear wall and I am not sure where the issue lies. I am not able to get to 100k damage without buffs running like you show in the pictures. Any idea whats the next best gear upgrade I can make?

Looking at your pastebin, your 6L setup for Cyclone is not following the guide. Switching Item Rarity for Concentrated / Combustion will give you a lot more damage.

Your character is level 84, you will want to aim for 6000 life when you hit level 90.

Get life rolls on all your rare slots. Especially abyss jewels.

Your chance to hit is 81%. That is too low for Elemental Overload skill tree. You will want to aim for 90%, which will need approximately 900 accuracy on gears. Otherwise, going RT skill tree will give you more damage.

What's the reasoning behind taking Elemental Overload over Avatar of Fire on a Champion build? And is it a good idea to get both EO and AoF?

Thanks

Just landed my first ever Uber Elder kill with this build.

It was a struggle at the beginning, wasted maybe 6 sets before I could handle it with 3 portals remaining.

I think what did the trick for me was adding Faster Attacks Support to Leap Slam to enable better manual dodging of spells as well as fully investing into life and Vaal Pact. Before that Leap Slam felt very clunky and failed me multiple times (also I was bad lets face it). For references of those who are interested I am leaving a PoB pastebin as of the Uber Elder kill here - https://pastebin.com/6SC79ULx

I would like to thank lagevogel for his feedback on page 442. It was very helpful in adding necessary adjustments for this encounter. Also thanks to kira for making this guide. I had an amazing time and this build will probably remain my favourite (and first) character in poe.

I have taken down all (I believe?) major bosses including: Uber Elder, Uber Aztiri, Elder, Shaper, Pale Court, Chayula and the rest of breachstone bosses, Uber Izaro.

All of them were very easy and did not even require any special changes to the build, except of course for Uber Elder and Chayula (getting breach rings with chaos resist).

I'm dying too much, any tips on what to improve?

This build is not stun immune at all unless u have the flask that gets rid of all stunning effects on use
u dont use anything else for stun imunity

You're immuned to stuns while cycloning.

In primeval pros and cons u state:

"Cons:
- Loses 12% maximum life (down to 199% from 211%)
- Loses some armour %
- 3 max endurance charges instead of 4
- Lower life regen based on % life"

I dont see any endurance charges mods on the tree. What do i miss

Edit: Also do you have to cast enduring cry when immortal call triggers so often?
