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

Any recommendation for a shaper fight? upgrading gear or stuff?

Currently leveling this for easy lab runs.

Question though: can this be a decent boss killer in softcore?
Also - is slight investment into scaling bleeds an option or confirmed terrible?
I've got a 6L Disfavour lying around that i would otherwise sell.

Testing this out in Mayhem, lvl 52 so far and it's been absolutely rock solid. Playing SC, but zero deaths so far while facetanking everything so far, including Innocence.

Only drawback is stat starvation... Can barely level any non pure str gems without going dex + int nodes, and even then it's not nearly enough.

Absolutely yes. I ran a Chieftain AW variant for HSC (bit safer as your totems provoke enemies), but very similar overall. Guardians are a joke and, if you have sufficient phys dmg, Shaper is pretty easy as well.

Will there be any changes to this build in Abyss league? Or can I just follow the original post?

We survived the patch notes! Abyss Uber Lab here we come!

I made everything with this build and 3.1 still works wooo hooo :)

Seeing as witchfire brew no longer gives vulnerability, and you cannot use curses with the unique chest, will the build operate fine without it, or do you have any suggestions?

Going to probably go with this build starting off. Thanks LNB.

Any tips you guys would give on playing this build as SSF in HC in abyss league?

First time playing League as HC, and SSF for more than an event league(those ten days events).
