Multiple Totem support has a LESS modifier while Melee Physical Totem has a MORE modifier.

BUT increasing totem counts itself was a MORE modifier that didn't calculated by PoB.

Going from one totem to two was a 100% more. Two to three was 50% more. Three to four was a 33% more. Four to five was 25% more. Five to Six was a 20% more...

In the case of bossing with a +1 totem shield and an Ancestral Protector as buff, your Warchiefs are limited to two by default.

If you're using melee physical (49% MORE, 10% LESS AS),
Assuming 1 APS:
2 Warchief x 1.49 x 0.9 = 2.682

With Multiple Totem (21% LESS with +2 Totems):
4 Warchief x 0.79 = 3.16

If my math isn't wrong, using a Multiple Totem may give you slightly more DPS than melee physical in this senario.

When not using Ancestral protector as buff,

If you're using melee physical (49% MORE, 10% LESS AS),
Assuming 1 APS:
3 Warchief x 1.49 x 0.9 = 4.023

With Multiple Totem (21% LESS with +2 Totems):
5 Warchief x 0.79 = 3.95

Melee Physical Damage is stronger in this case.

DISCLAIMER: MY CALCULATION MIGHT BE INCORRECT.
I'm not really sure how to calculate the Less damage modifier in Melee Physical Support.

Do you think a ring with elemental weakness on hit is worth it ? If you replace fire pen with something else for example.

So I've spent just about all my energy and currency this league on this build and I have to say that while the build greatly benefits from scaling in certain areas like getting a crafted shield with +1 totems, the design as a whole just doesn`t scale well at all with large amounts of currency investment, but I like the build a lot. As soon as I crafted myself a +1 totem rare shield with life gain on block and spell block, mapping went from a decently paced mapping experience to drag racing, basically that 5th totem will always clean up mobs left behind by the first four totems, even in juiced tier 16 maps.

I also heavily disliked using chainbreaker as its actually more like putting a 2 ton iron ball on your back and forcing you to map slowly because movement skills will not work without spending about 10 rage.

Here's a recording made about 10 mins ago. I chose a layout that's particularly difficult to traverse with shield charge to show that totem placement can make more irritating maps nicer to play.
I do not play with chainbreaker when mapping. But with chainbreaker, killing bosses is rather easy. I killed olroth within a minute with chainbreaker specced in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afsVNH__v3c
