[3.9] Hillock's Cremation / Cyclone / Blade Vortex STR Stacking Chieftain

I'm trying to level this on the side, looking forward to trying it.

First question is why all the gear in PoB is vastly different in the gear analysis?

Thanks for posting this guide mate! This will be an incredibly helpful build for a great many looking to play Chieftain!

Maybe by the time I made the PoB I was using different gear. I had to mess around and experiment with different items to see the true potential in other fire skills / setups. So I apologise for any inconvenience.

By the way is there a particular piece that you need info in? Like there is no perfect item, you can swap most of the build Uniques for Rares with decent stats, but do keep in mind there are 3 Mandatory Uniques being this a STR stacking build: Doon, Shaper's Touch and the Geoffri. Only switch those for example by Kaom's Heart if you decide you want to go life based with a 6 L Sire of shards.

I have to say I loved your video on it. Can I provide a link to it on the "main post" ?

Feel free to post a link.


I was debating messing around with the PoB a bit myself. If I have time and do so, I'll send you an updated PoB with some ideas incorporated!

Do you run Doon Cuebiyari or Sire of Shards for the Cremation build/variant?

Hi Steeldraconis (G3 Iron),

you are the reasin i play this build, thanks.
It would be nice if you share your modified POB with us all, so we can see what you think and what you would change.
Thanks in advance

It's like this. Plain and simple. If you wanna go Cremation variant, STR stacking I would still go with Doon's. Hands down. I would only think about the Sire if I switched the build without going STR stacking, and pure FIRE DAMAGE flat and or penetration. I would also recommmend dropping CI, go LIFE and switch Sanctuary for a Kaom's Heart if Sire 6L of course.

Should I update this build for 3.10 ? Or is attribute stacking dead ?

I don't think we know yet about attribute stacking but I'm considering giving this a go for league start so any advice on how to build it(especially before one can ramp up str stacking) would be awesome.
