[3.22] Blade Vortex tanky Chieftain with ~10.7Mil Uber Pinnacle dps|100k EHP|Trial of the Ancestors

Hello everyone i would to show build Chieftain BV with new ascendancy points.

I saw this build in 3.21 league , but trees in weapons and shield , old ascendancy Chieftain also not available now , but i still wanna play this , and after a few hours in PoB i find some ways to make it live again after changed many things in this build.I would like to share my work with the PoE community . After i got almost all pieces of gear i finally have good build for almost all content in best ARPG - Path of Exile =D
We are pretty tanky , but why?
Because we convert cold , lightning and physical damage taken to fire damage taken , and we mitigate all of this damage, also we have recoup life , avoid ailments and good life regen.
It's pretty ordinary Blade Vortex build who convert 100% physical damage to fire damage.
And I would to try explain about synergy in build.

So let's start:



IT'S NOT STARTER BUILD! And also this build have some specific items / corrupts and also it's i guess pretty expensive build overall


Let me introduce a bit this build
Pluses
Spoiler


- it's pretty tanky build
90% phys mitigation (nowadays It is impossible to get more than 90%)
100% avoid ailment
100% convert cold and lightning damage taken as fire and we take less fire damage
100% Convert physical damage taken as fire damage taken
Over 6k life regen with "Enduring Cry" buff and more then 2k without it
- good clear speed for maps with explodes
-can do 5 orbs with 8 mods(if they don't have "less recovery" mod)
- you can kill uber bosses
for example:
Uber Shaper with Maven
Uber Uber Elder with Maven
Uber Exarch
Uber Eater
Any Delve Bosses
Mastermind
Any Breach bosses (flawless of course)
Uber Atziri (but with flask like this)
if you have Mageblood just flask that's enough if you don't have Mageblood you must pick flask + pantheon Soul of Yugul
- Simulacrul 30 waves
- Actually we can do almost everything =)

Minuses
Spoiler

- can't do "less recovery" map mods it's possible but very-very not comfortable.
- uber Sirus (actually it's killable , but you must be like ninja to avoid all swamps which deactivate your regeneration , in another situation he doing actually nothing for us)
- Uber Maven (it's also killable if you still play like ninja who avoid everything =D she deactivate our regen and we die by any hit
- Can't do elemental reflection content without some tricks , but it's pretty easy to fix.
- You must keep in mind you are not immortal , you are just pretty tanky =)


Ascendancy:
Spoiler

"Valako,Storm's Embrace" - it's "free" Melding - (like this
) but without minuses like in jewel version who makes easy to have 90% all maximum elemental resistances(it's means chaos res not included, just cold/lightning/fire res).

"Tasalio, Cleansing Water" we have a lot of fire resistances in items.

"Hinekora, Death's Fury" explodes it's very good options for clear speed maps.

"Ngamahu, Flame's Advance" unfortunately we have just 1 jewel for synergy but it's better then other ascendancy points.





Bandits and Pantheons:

Spoiler

We kill all bandits for +2 points

Major Gods:
-Soul of Lunaris - better for maps
-Soul of Solaris - better for bosses
Minor Gods:
-Soul of Tukohama - it's pretty good pantheon for bosses , coz we can be stationary and have more physical damage reduction + 2% life regen good bonus for us =)
-Soul Yugul - situational pantheon if we must clean content with elemental reflection (wrong rolled map etc. we are people and can do mistakes)


So , from introduses we slowly will go to equipment , stats etc.

Spoiler

and we start from weapon:
We have 2 curses it's Flammability and Elemental Weakness with Hex Bloom for spread our curses when we maping
it's pretty simple caster / BV sceptre , nothing special

Shield:


Actually we must have MINIMUM 20% cold as fire / 20% lightning as fire / 18-19% physical as fire with corrupt 6-8% phys as fire damage taken other 80% cold and lightning as fire we will take from Sublime(30%) + timeless jewels(50%)
Finally got one shield with 20/20/18 and 7% phys as fire after spended around 1.6mirr for it.
Gems:
Herald of purity - more phys damage and with arrogance we can be on Low Life (about this later).
Righteous fire - more spell damage(with vaal version we have small burst damage).

Helmet:

Enchantment: more quality of life with more duration Blade Vortex
we must got helmet with ES base for Eldritch Battery node.
A bit about Eldritch Battery:
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Eldritch_Battery
10% phys as fire it's pretty good for us , with this delve mode we can easily got 100% physical damage taken as fire
Mana reservation for auras as well , life also good , ES for Eldritch Battery , dex and int (we really need it , it's both stats which we have problems)
Gems:
-Purity of fire - we can use usual purity of fire(divergent just for 1% fire pen , small min-max).
-Petrified blood - for recoup life , we have a lot of life regeneration and then we can use anomalous version.
-Herald of Ash - more fire damage , extra phys as fire damage.
-Tempest Shield - with Divergent version we have a bit more spell block

Amulet:


Pretty good stats for us , whispers of doom enchant for 2nd curse as well.

Rings:



Increased fire damage and herald of ash buff effect pretty good boost for DPS
in implicit we want to see something like
- critical strike multiplier
- critical strike chance also good stat but coz we don't have 100% crit chance without Bottled Faith
- avoid elemental / shock (for 100% avoid elemental ailments)
- increased physical / fire / elemental damage
- fire / elemental damage leeched as life also good thing for as
- +1 Endurance charge
maybe something else =P.

Body armour:

It's perfect thing for conversion physical damage as fire damage taken and this have huge amount of this convert.
A few words about corrupts:
+2 Duration gems or +2 AoE gems for BV level gem
and +1 to all maximum resistances (it's save for us minimum one point in character tree)
Gems:
Unleash - more blades BV per cast = more quality of life for us
Awakened added fire damage - increase fire damage and +1 level of socketed skill gems (it means +1 for BV)
Increased critical damage - increase crit damage
Increased critical strikes - increase crit chance
Awakened fire penetration - inrease fire damage and huge amount fire penetration
Vaal Blade Vortex - main skill

Gloves:



totaly we must have 50% conversion Physical damage to fire on this gloves for 100% conversion Blade Vortex damage to fire (other 50% we have from "Avatar of Fire" from tree)
Unnerve it's 10% increase spell damage
life it's every time good
Life regeneration rate pretty decent stat for us , we always want it
Alva mod "# to # fire damage against burning enemies" it's small min-max and fire res with it it's also good stat coz we have life regen for every point of fire res over max.

Gems:
Enduring cry - mostly for survive but you can also use infernal cry for more DPS
Immortal call - our def skill supporter by "cast when damage taken" anomalous quality (for more duration immortal call)
Increased duration - quality of life for more duration of "immortal call" and "Enduring cry" skills

Boots:



Enchant: for bosses
Stats:
Movement speed - Zoom-Zoom
Life - always good
Increased life regeneration - pretty decent stat for us , we always want it
Chaos res - it's softcore but anyway we wanna be capped +75 or more by chaos res
Avoid being shocked - for synergy with

Avoid elemental elements also for jevel synergy
Brittle ground - +2% critical strike chance
Gems:
-Shield Charge - our movement skill
-Fortify - defensive skill who has synergy with Shield Charge
-Anomalous Blood Rage - for Frenzy Charges , alternative quality gives us chance to gain frenzy charge when we hit unique enemy(that means for example when we hit boss)
And for last slot you have choice:
-Frost Blink - additional movement skill
-Phantasmal Infernal Cry - with that gem we cover enemies in ash
info about "Ash":
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Ash


Belt:


Enchant: we have unnerve from gloves so , it's good bonus for DPS
Flasks for Mageblood:

also for bosses :

For mapping:
with Progenesys i have around 170k EHP
I'm using Mageblood , but it can be changed for some Stygian vise with hunter influence and stats like:
Life regen
Flat life
Chaos res
Flask charges when you deal crit
Flasks effect affected on you
Flask duration



Here we continue with our Jewels:

Spoiler


And we start from main important jewels like:
we have just one AURA gem and it's Purity of fire with this jewel we have 30% cold and lightning damage taken as fire other 70% we have from timeless jewel(50%) + sheild(20%)



that timeless jewel gives us 15% phys as fire damage taken (it's decent thing)

and also 50% cold and lightning damage taken as fire damage from keystone Tempered by War but we have less 50% cold and lightning resistance and we can easily fix it with our ascendancy , it is great solution because we have so many uniq items just with Fire resistance

other 50% we have from Sublim Vision(30%) + Shield(20%)



this is more quality of life jewel what gives us in this slot:


as i write earlier it's pretty simple jewel for Ailment immune.

in Watcher eye we wanna see just 10% physical damage taken as fire ,impartant to have 10%

pretty simple double crit multi with life and increased physical damage unfortunately crit multi with fire skill do not applies on us coz BV it's physical skill and we just convert phys to fire damage



we can have 3 good options here:
-increased damage with "Discord Artisan"
-a bit more chance to block spell damage with "Mystic Bulwark"
-a bit more damage taken recouped as life with "Infused Flesh"
choice as you want =)

These jewels gives us 40% more damage but we take 10% increased damage from any sources , 10% for us it's literally nothing coz we pretty tanky =)


These medium clusters each gives us 10% crit multi 30% critical chance and 5% chance to deal double damage when we doing crit.

Physical large cluster for DPS (BV has phys teg and physical damage increases applies to us) we pick just "Battle-Handened" and "Iron Breaker"
Spell large cluster for spell block , spell damage( coz BV has spell teg and spell damage increases applies on us) and gain power charges when we block so we pick here just "Mage Hunter" and "Conjured Wall"


Tattoos:
Spoiler


for 75 chaos res if we have less then 75 of course
we have some issue with dex and that tattoo can fix it easy
it's huge boost of maximum fire resistances at some point we can get more items for our DPS
we need x10 of this tattoos for 100% uptime buff from "Enduring cry"
it's for +1 Blade Vortex skill also applies on Blood Rage

and the most important thing and pretty expensive (for example i spend over 120 div for this keystone , maybe someone will be more lucky and spending on a way less currency =) )

with this tattoo we can have "Pain Attunement"

who gives us 30% MORE spell damage when we on low live , and of course we on low live with Herald of Purity and Arrogance gems

I have been doing this but with the old fire reap chieftain but on Jugg. I dont know how much value we get out of Chieftain if we already ignore cold and lightning resistance and just pump max fire res (which makes that valako node path pretty useless). With jugg at least you get a bit more aoe, aoe dmg, chaos res, lots of life recovery extra OR you can maybe go berserker for rage + berserker uptime and more damage. I might try the BV version and see if it has more damage than reap but i am not sure. Maybe just go Jugg and take Chieftain explode jewel combo and swap to aspect of carnage for ubers.
Edit: also maybe still using the leaderships price amulet for easy brittle + scorch + sap is better than dragon fang. It gives us crit cap, more resist shred and more tanky which should technically let us drop increased crit strikes gem for better dps gem. Stat balance is easy for this league because of tattoos and then you can fit in a rational doctrine as well for both profane + consecrated ground.

hello and ty for build.

you think its possible to use this on Standard? without the tattoos?
ty
Hey , I think yes , but need some changes , and actually I guess in Standard it's easier , because you have permission to legacy items. With it you can be literally immortal and have on a way more dps
Heeyy nice build. I was kinda blindly following the top dps bv chieftain on poe ninja and it result it was you! Ahaha.
Nice to see a writed guide!
So far so good, missing a few lvl, and i still can minmax with corrupted implicits.
I have one question, how should i craft the weapon? I was thinking about this:
1- alt unil +1 all
2- regal, if prefix 50/50 annul
3- we have a rare +1 all. Caft multimod, block preffix and cannot roll attk.
4- harvest remove/add for +1phys
5- from here onwards im lost, maybe clean, block preffix and reforge crit? Or chaos veiled for double dmg?

Any tip will be great, ty for the guide btw.

Start with a fractured base, either t1-2 spell damage or spell crit. Do same steps up till step 4. If fractured spell damage you have 3 full prefix > multi mod for Cast Speed + Spell Crit (or multi). Done.

Sory i should had clarified, i wanna craft the synth one with +2 . I have a few posible bases with spell doble dmg + some stuff. And wanna make something similar to you, not implicit but explicits.
How should i go about that?
