i would advise new players to go and look for builds on their own, forum is full of them, i dont know on what basis these build were chosen to be for 'new players' but in my opinion some of them are not new player friendly

Warchief totem is actually quite easy to play self-found or with cheap bought gear. (I made it in both the 48h SSF flashback races)

But champion is not a good choice at all. Since totems do the attacking, you can easily leap slam + fortify every few seconds to keep up the buff.

Chieftain is a much stronger choice imho because your totems taunt enemies and leech life to you. Totems are also much tankier with 50% of your armor and fire immunity (which matters for melee totems because they last 50% longer than spell totems). You also gain 2% life regen and 20% damage added as fire on chieftain tree. And it scales really well with added fire + WED since he gets a lot of fire damage buffs.

Taunt is extremely OP against tough bosses because it means the bosses never target you and focus on totems instead, so if its a fire damage boss for example, your totems will never die and you can just stay safely away while they kill. They are pretty resilient to phys.damage too. For other elemental damage types you can swap out a blue gem for totem resist.

EDIT: You can get HUGE dps with a cauteriser (230 pdps, 70% extra phys->fire) and ngamahu tiki until you can get a hezmanas/marohi/disfavour.
