[3.17] The Warchief | [Facebreaker] Ancestral Warchief | Uber Boss Farmer | Beginner -> Expert

I was surprised how little hp this build has as a marauder, my ranger has more and even from range with 50-60% dodge, one shots is a major problem that happens often.

I did 1-10 tier maps on my warchief and it's struggling with it, capped res, life on every part, optimized flask setup.

I scrapped, abyssus, dd, because bleed immunity is not going to save your life, you have it on flask anyway, more life and resist will save your life.

Sure those 4-5k hp was enough 5-6 leagues back, but not now. I can't see this build doing ubers as it is, hell it even struggle with medium tier maps at 60-70.

I will level it up further and see what happens because i did see life nodes being taken around 60-70, normally i would scrap the build at this point.

I will say though, it is very effective at killing bosses, i am just not comfortable with less than 6k life for a boss build.

Great guide, really. But it just doesn't help me as much as I hoped it would.
There's so much "Take X at level Y" and "I use this" and "Until Q use G with K" and so on and so forth. And I am just like "What the actual fuck is this guy even talking about?". I don't even have the items to put that stuff in and no clue where to get it either.

I started my first char (after years of absence) in standard just recently and ran into the same problems.

Well, maybe POE just isn't the game for me even though it's fun. Maybe I should play something less complicated like MyLittlePony. Or Minesweeper.

Hello!

First of all thanks for the build it is really useful.

I have started path of exile a short time ago so this might be a noob question. I tried to read everything in the guide and I could not find the levels of the gems that are required except the one for herald of purity.
Is there any requirement for the gems levels? Should I keep some of them at low level?


get them as soon as possible. you can find the specific gem level reqs in the official wiki https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skill_gem

you dont need any low lvl gems (only your cast when dmg taken setup IF you want, but you will find more specefic answer in my FAQ)

5k hp is more than enough for all content in the game, even uber lab is possible with 2-3k life if you know what you are doing (you will reach 5-6k depends on your gear). PoE isnt a game where you can sit still and dont dodge yourself (except some 10k+ ES builds). the biggest survivability is your own skill (training) while doing the content ;)

Hey, I got 82 with this build, and it's much more fun than I expected.

A big problem though : Rage doesn't work with totems. And that seems to be the case since 2.5, checking forum. So what's going on ? I just spent 20C value on Ascendancy going into a Rage setup that doesn't work, and I don't see anything in your guide that talks about this.

EDIT : So I understand that Warcry gives Rage with Ascendancy but it seems to be a lot of points invested in tinkering the rage generation. Not sure if I'm gonna keep Berserker.

Thank you for the answer. I have started to level up my gems like crazy.

Regarding ancestral war chief should I wait for it to reach level 20 to use a vaal orb to corrupt it or is it better to corrupt it at its current level (should be 4-5)?
Or should I not touch it and find/buy a corrupted ancestral war chief?

i would try to get the vaal version of it as soon as possible. it makes lvling and mapping ALOT easier ;) so i would vaal it now and if it dont become vaal warcheif i would buy some

Thank you! I will do that :-)
So with Tukohama do we still take the blood magic + cluster?

edit: I'm guessing we do for the 50% less mana reserved and 20% life nodes. What auras do we run? Grace and haste?

edit 2: oh I see, we don't run auras as all our mana does stay reserved (just took the nodes). We just use the vaal version of grace and haste.
