[3.8] LiftingNerdBro's Uber Lab Warchief Totem Champion - Great League Starter!

Could someone tell me why I don't run Vaal warchief with this build? I use ut while levelling atm and it feels great?
thinking about making a lab farmer and was debating about doing this one. You mention ancestral bond as one of the key factors but its not taken as a node in the skill trees?
I think War Banner would be a boon to this build since it scales so nicely with attack speed, but I'm not sure it's so great for Lab specifically. Definitely helps for map bossing, though.

With this, you don't need that node anymore. You can still take it, ofc, but I think you'd get more from just attacking alongside the totems than relying only on them.

Ah, true. What is the go to skill set up then for your attacks then if you're using your 5/6l for totems still?

and since the skills arent updated, what would you drop to grab that new skill for the link set up?

I was curious about the same as the above poster. I understand that Ancestral Bond is no longer required (and why), but I fail to see how it isn't still a flat damage improvement since there are no other attack skills.
I'm pretty inexperienced at the game, so my assumption is that I'm overlooking something. If anyone could fill me in on what is probably staring me in the face, I'd really appreciate it.

This is not intentional i think the PoB Link is outdated you can clearly see it by the skills as it states Ancestral Warchief instead of its better Vaal Version.... Why would you want to attack alongside and where do you want the attack link .... i dont think it has more value. 4 Totems for general mapping 2+Conc for bosses should be a good idea for a MTS Setup. Banner seems to work but doesnt gain stages (at least the dread one) but placed it feels like a huge dmg boost.

@LiftingNerdBro your comment went over my head i aprechiate the lesson will definitly hop on a stream the other day

yeah see with the mix responses its just confusing for people just getting into a build like this haha.

Kinda disappointing with how much/often he pushes the build in the recommend videos but isn't updated properly.
I am reading all coments and i still dont knw if i should go for anc bond or not.I honestly dont know pls help.

Ps this is one of my favorit builds and i hope LNB updates with a yt vid.

Is your PoB updated?
I run ancestral bond with multiple totems, doing great, Betrayal encounters are becoming a bit easy due to the fact that i have 4 totems in total each taunting the boss (except when mobs are spawning esp. in fortification instances). For mapping, i drop 2 totems, move forward, drop another pair, and so on.
TLDR; Anc.Bond+Multiple totems support = More damage, more safety

PS: This is my opinion based on what i have experinced so far..
