[3.17] The Warchief | [Facebreaker] Ancestral Warchief | Uber Boss Farmer | Beginner -> Expert

I had a theorycraft idea that I wanted your opinion on:

With the change in the tree now, what do you think of taking the nodes through Righteous Army to Spiritual Aid instead of the nodes to Retaliation. I know Totems don't count as minions, but with Spiritual Aid the damage applies to you (and your totems) anyway. In your PoB (low budget tree) it adds 16k damage per totem. You would lose some attack speed, but gain almost 70% increased damage from the tree vs 42%. It's also right next to Ancestral Bond and would be easy to grab for a big damage boost early.

I'm planning on league starting with your build next league and I thought it might be easier to grab those nodes in case it takes me a while to get facebreakers as it's generic damage that will work two handed, dual wield OR unarmed. Thoughts?

The plus 1 totem shield craft should be a huge boost for this build. If I’m going with the Cheiftan version what auras would I use since I won’t be going blood magic?

I was thinking herald of purity, ash and blasphemy temp chains. I play HC.
Does this build still legit on the latest build version?

just returning after a lengthy time away and my old face breaker build appears to have been made obsolete. reading through your guide and will give the warchief route a try

my question is regarding not messing up my almost max legacy facebreaker, 997% damage. I know to not use a divine orb on it as that will reset the damage to the new range.

are there any other traps out there that could mess up my facebreaker. example, can I use the divine font on it in the labyrinth? I see that your gear shows a divine enhancement but want to be absolutely sure that doesn't reset my facebreaker to the new damage range. I wouldn't think it would but not worth the risk, so I skipped the enhancement on my first trip through

many thanks and loving the guide,
what do you think of the new totem support gem?

what do you think of the new totem support gem?


in first place i was like "whaaaaaaat" but in seccond place i was like "uh 40% less". so i assume this will go up to 20% at lvl 20. i think we should do some PoBs to see if its worth. besides from that im not sure if its realy needed because we can already do ez all content in the game BUT i think its more a personal desicion if you like to play with many totems with less dmg (simillar to the blood magic version with tokuhama) or if you prefer only few totems but each with huge dmg itself.

overall this need at least some testing ingame to see wich feels better in terms of clearing maps / do bosses etc
