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

Yes worthy foe could make the totems tankier, but I don't really need this. So I won't go for it.

Inspirationnal is surely a good one, but First to Strike LAst to Fall may also be good because :
- 5% attack speed on the road instead of the useless % effect of auras
- Good survivability bonuses (armor/ES/ailments on low life)
- Good damage boost, 40% instead of 35% (only when not on low life, but it's the vast majority of time with the regen of this build !)
-As I said, I think Intimidate won't work with totems so it's useless for this build, except if you first attack the boss with a leap slam before dropping totems on high life bosses (quite suicidary !)
Overall, using the path of bulding of the first post, "First to Strike, Last to Fall" give a slightly higher damage boost than "Inspirationnal", and adds a layer of defence on top of it.

So basically it's a choice between constant damage bonus and movement speed, or situational slightly higher damage bonus and increased survivability.

I think I will give a try for "First to Strike, last to Fall" which seems better overall since I'm only playing solo. In party "Inspirational" is cleary better. 8% movement speed is nto really much, and damage is behind with inspirational.
I enjoy this build a lot. Act 7 and no problem.
thx for the work !

PS : in your guide, u say that for act 7, u need "ascendancy fortify" : is it a mistake ?
Wow is this build awesome. Maps aren't painfully slow like some people made it sound like. Up to 78 now doing tier 6 maps...just trying to find more maps and trials for uber lab. The lab so far has been an absolute breeze. Thanks!!!!!

I forgot that war cries taunt enemies near you so when you use enduring cry you're taking 10% less dmg from them while dealing 20% more damage to them when you choose worthy foe. Also on PoB it says that worthy foe is the greatest dps boost by far compared to the other options. (like 2-3x more)

This build works pretty good for now. But do we use Cyclone or has this changed?
Thank you ;)
tempted to drop two totems then vaal cyclone haha.
Is better faster attacks that main? to chage it on the armour.

This would´nt be a bad idea. Linked with Life Leech? But also a normal Cyclone with life leech would help. You can stay up until your totems defeat the trash. Nice

Ah yes I forgot that too !

But if I'm correct, a taunt lasts 3sec and enduring cry has 4sec cooldown, so in best case we benefit only of 75% of the damage boost of Worthy Foe. And most of the time I'm not using my enduring cry very often, and absolutely not on all enemies ! So even if it's the greatest damage boost, as PoB says, it's not realistic.

I'll definitely go for First to Strike, Last to Fall, which seems more consistent.
