Hi,

May I know if we use the normal aw or vaal version? And if any gems should be lvl21 or above? Thanks


if it has a vaal version = use the vaal version ;) why you would not take extra dmg ;) 21er gems gives us most of the time ~ 1% more. its not highly needed and imho sometimes too expensive. but if you get some via corruption, why not. only gem i realy prefer 21er is "herald of purity"

whatever suits you better. I for myself prefer the vaal aw 20/20 over the normal 21/20




Also I'd like to add to all those asking if Chieftain is inferior to Berserker: It's definately NOT!
Spoiler

Chieftain harmonizes imho even better with this build den Zerker and the difference in damage is absolutely neglectable.

Have a look at my lv 94 Chieftain from delve:

618k dps per AW totem against Shaper/Boss + 547k dps per VAW totem against shaper = 3 Million Shaper DPS (Fire pen + Darkness Enthroned equipped)


1022k dps per AW totem against normal Delve Mobs + 905k dps per VAW totem = 4,9 Million normal DPS (Added Fire dmg + Headhunter equipped - no buffs calculated!!!)

Once the Headhunter gathers buffs in the mines, the damage goes absolutely nuts.

For example:

My current ingame dps are displayed with 208k - whilst wearing the 4,9 mil DPS gear setup.

In here a screenshot of early/midst Delve league with 1.1 Mil tooltip DPS





This being said, be sure, that the Chieftain is a solid high-dps killing machine with even better defenses than the Berserker - due to insane passive life leech, fire immune & taunting totems.


imho its a personal preference. for ulab i would always prefer zerker because of the warcry heal wich let me laugh in traps. in pure mapping i like the chieftain version because of the taunt & because you can run reflect maps. for bossing booth are good

Absolutely! It's just a matter of taste and personal preference. All I wanted to say was that Chieftain is not worse then Berserker. Neither in DPS nor in Defense.

The buffs to Warcrys that came along with the 3.4 skill tree changes definately boost the Zerker more then the Chieftain - and that's ok that way. Zerker is more reliant on Warcrys then Chief.

And even with the Chieftain running U-Lab is a piece of cake. The defenses are strong enough to survive traps without paying much attention to any of them. I mostly just keep shieldcharging through them whitout any effort and Izaro retreats or dies after a couple of seconds with 3 totems beating the shit out of him.

thanks, can you recommend other aura setup?( what to link)
i cannot find any related information in your guild.
Is this build fast enough to clear Incursions? I struggled with a bad build in Incursion league and don't want that to happen again.
Does it remain a damage increase using tukohama? Or is it now better to run rate shield with +1 totems plus herald of purity and hatred or something like that?
do we still use atziri's step? no more iron reflex on the tree taken
after some testings and with the new PoB update i can confirm that the new Multiple Totem Support ist in all way better than one of the old gems. I prefer to switch with Dmg On Full Life because than you loose the dmg spike when your not full life

These numbers are with Min-Maxed gear

its not only smart, you should! do this, because chieftain give 50% phys to fire, wich means with avatar of fire you come to 100% phys to fire
