leaguestart friendly chieftain builds?

besides RF cos thats gone now...i looked here and on maxroll but couldnt find anything. on poeninja 50% of chiefs were RF/fire trap.

only thing i saw was bodyswap and smite but i dont think you can league-start with those? the armor stacking smite especially needs a lot of investment.

Well time to be creative to not rely all on terrible maxroll click bait or similar website builds hoho.

You could start with a normal hit based build and change into armor stack as soon as you get a few c for the two mandatory weapons and gear up from that point if you want to play chieftain so badly.
You could also play something as berserker or jugg first and change to chieftain later in for a different build if you feel like you have to burn a lot of currency first.

could RF still work? chief has the explosions and ignite,so could regular mobs still die like they used to? and fire trap for bosses?

also i heard of some ignite build that uses fire trap but no RF...is that a thing?

It depends on how far you need your leaguestarter to go. RF should still be fine up to yellow maps or so.

but for chieftain doesnt most of the damage come from the ignites and explosions? so trash mobs would still die fast in red maps also? and for single target we have fire trap?

Just had a random thought while watching yt vids that chieften could be good for some type of detonate dead build. Someone was pointing out how ultimatum mobs have insane amounts of resistances so the reduced fire resist node would be pretty strong.

yeah that could work.
