(r3.0) Beginner Friendly League Starter / Endgame/Atziri viable-Dual Flame-blast Totems Chieftain.

Chieftain Flameblast Totems.
3.0- stuff should still work the same if anyone is interested,link Arcane Surge to orb of storms for some free damage. Other than that I haven't played with totems for a while so so I haven't looked into new supports or new items but the base build should still work fine. 2.6/ -fixed broken trees for 2.6 -nothing much changed except the aoe gl everything should still work -if anything else is broken pm me and ill try to fix it when i can 2.5/BUILD UPDATE:Not much has changed,I haven't played this build this league but It should be better with the totem buffs! The new shield should be pretty good with this buid(Tukohama's Fortress). Conents 1: Passive trees 2: Ascendancy 3: Gem Links 4: Auras 5: Gear 6: Stats 7: leveling Guide 8: Videos 1: Passive tree You can choose to go Blood Magic with or without an essence worm(auras aren't that needed) Bandits: I would kill all to get the 2 points Marauder Passives

Spoiler
I'm currenty (patch 2.6) playing an elementalist version of this build in the ssf league and managed to kill atziri on day 1 It has a bit more damage than the chieftain but is a bit squishy.The prolif and ignites are very nice tho. You can view that character here: http://poe-profile.info/profile/slothx/AvatarOfTheFlamex Its the only thing on my account Passive tree 2: Ascendancy
Spoiler
head to Tukohama,wars herald(bottom nodes) first then to hinekora,deaths fury( top half ) 3:Main Gem Links 3 Links: Spell Totem + Flame Blast + Faster Casting 4th link: + Fire Penetration 5th link: +Increased Area of effect (swap to Concentrated Effect for bosses) 6th link: +Controlled destruction Utility Links
Spoiler
*Links: Orb of Storms + Increased Critical strikes + Increased Area of Effect (+blind if you have the links)
For proccing Elemental Overload (40% more damage) Defensive Links
Spoiler
*Links #1: Cast When Damage Taken + Immortal Call + Increased Duration (+Molten shell/Tempest Shield)
(High level CWDT + IC is what I prefer) *Links #2:Cast When Damage Taken + Enfeeble(or flammability/temp chains,really any curse you prefer) + Arctic breath + Greater multiple Projectiles(for the chill) *: If you have/can afford the links ;) 4:Auras If you're going with Blood Magic and not using essence worm skip this part. Blood magic : Essence worm
Spoiler
You can use a defensive aura such as Purity Of Fire/Lightning/Ice or Determination /Arctic Armor or anything else in here that you'd like. For example:Swapping Anger with Purity Of fire or Lightning on the Atziri fight.Choose as you like. Mana Based
Spoiler
You have multiple options here.
You can use Anger along with Arctic Armor. You can opt to instead use blasphemy + enfeeble(any curse you want) instead of a CWDT setup for cursing. 5:Gear Requirements: Though I am using an essence worm it is by all means not required and I'm only using it because I found it and decided it might make my life easier going with blood-magic so I can save some currency not having to re-roll maps with no/less regen. You don't need anything special for this build,No uniques or expensive gear.Rares with sufficient life/resists ,a wand/scepter/dagger with Fire spell damage +cast speed (if you can afford get some ones with added damage to spells) . My current Gear
Spoiler
Crafted the Boots,Hands,Amulet,Belt and Shield using essences and farmed T9 Overgrown shrine for the Emper Of Purity card and crafted it using the essence of greed to guarantee the life roll.You don't necessarily have to use a shield,you can use any old staff with some damage and cast speed you get too.You can get a cheap 5link staff (The Flora's Girft Div Card)and craft +2 levels to socketed fire gems to get started also.
Spoiler
transmute,alt +regal and catarina craft My jewels
Spoiler
Mostly getting my cast speed on the jewels
Spoiler
if you got some moniez Nice Damage boost if you choose blood magic. Allows you to use an aura with bloodmagic(if you choose to go Blood magic) Infernal Mantel is also a viable choice since we're blood magic. If you can afford it try to get cast speed on these 3 slots here [amulet][rings][weapon] 6:My Stats

 7:Leveling Guide
Spoiler
Level with Flame Totem || firetrap (Buy it from Nessa after the quest "breaking some eggs" in act1) until you get firestorm(buy from Nessa after you return to town for " the siren's cadence" quest). Pick up spell totem ( from Nessa again) after you killed Brutus. When you complete the quest "Severe the right hand" in act 3 you can buy Flame Blast from Clarissa,for fasting casting you'll need to get that from someone(templar,shadow,witch or scion-Or get one from poe.trade) since marauders don't get it as a reward ;( When you get Flame Blast you can start leveling with it(refer to main gem links section at the top). Passive Point Progression Basically I rushed Ancestral Bond
Spoiler
Then filled out a few totem nodes and life
Spoiler
Fill out more life and start traveling to final nodes
Spoiler
level 90 Final points(111 total points) the final points depend on whether you go BM or not. Recommended Leveling Gear 8:Videos

Very good build,i'm currently at lvl 70 and like so much this build
my current gear: |
|
|
Would you add the new Tukohoma's Fortress shield to this build for 2.5?
|
|
|
Thought I'd try pizzasticks since my Scorching Ray totems weren't working out too well, and this works great. I think once I have the cruel lab points that the same breaches that bend over my blade flurry guy are going to get bent over instead.
Chieftan might be inferior to ele and inq, but I think in this particular league that it might actually be a great idea. |
|
" Hey yeah,It has less damage but the leech and overall tankyness just feel safer | |
|
Thanks a lot for the guide - I find it to be insanely fun!
|
|
|
What did you do, delete your chieftain? I don't see one under you profile. Link an account profile with build please.
| |
" sorry,I usually delete all old characters at the start of a new league edit-also fixed the broken passive trees in case anyone still wanted to play this in 2.6,only thing that really changed was the aoe changes. I also added the link to my elementalist version I'm currently playing in LSC SSF Last edited by slothx on Mar 5, 2017, 5:58:28 PM

Hello I have been trying your build as a league starter and I must say it's very nice I am currently level 67 and will do my merc & uber lab soon (need to get the trials first), hoping to get pretty far with this build and make some curreny to upgrade my gear and for other future builds.

Hello. Thanks for posting this build. Could you explain perhaps the pros and cons versus going Marauder or Witch?
Thanks, |
