[3.0] [Video] [HC/SC] Flee the Fire! Chieftain Sire of Shards Fireball/Flameblast Tri-Totem Build

I don't know if you've dabbled in this recently or not Eustacio. The Kikazuru rings got some interesting changes. The curse mitigation is no longer 20% but 40%. This really brings the resistance cap down and allows you more wiggle room for gear. The flat life regen has been replaced with a # per character level. This has brought my life regen up pretty significantly. Paired with these being fairly cheap makes the character gearing and passive choices much more flexible.

I've been messing with it on a different version that I think works better than this version. Uses EK with the new threshold jewel. This build still works well and the new Kikazaru is way better than the old one, yeah. I just haven't gotten to updating this guide with the new version.

any idea what would be the best helmet enchantment for this build? i apologize if you wrote about it already i just couldn't find it in the guide.

perhaps 30% increased flammability curse effect?

Flammability curse effect, fireball damage, or fireball cast speed would be ones I'd stop on if I was running the lab myself hunting for the enchantment.

If I was buying it, I'd go for the fireball cast speed or damage. This is because curses have a 60% less effectiveness modifier on bosses and 80% on the Shaper and Guardians. Those are the only enemies this build seriously has trouble with, so I suspect that the raw DPS increase would be better.

Flammability would go from 44% to 58.52% with 30% increased effectiveness. Multiply that by 20% for Shaper/Guardians and that takes you to around 12% resistance reduction. The 44% base is about a 9% reduction, so you're only gaining about 3% fire resistance reduction. That's probably not worth the enchantment. At 60% effectiveness for map bosses, the base 44% goes down to 17.6% on map bosses. That goes up to 23.4% on map bosses with the 30% effectiveness enchantment. But it doesn't have a whole heck of a lot of trouble killing map bosses currently, so I suspect that going for raw damage is going to be better if you want to take it up against Shaper/Guardians.

If you plan to only do up to T15 map bosses, any of the 3 enchantments is going to be perfectly fine.
