Thanks for your answer. I was wondering what I should do to gain more tankiness? I chose to go Chieftain, lv 90 and 6k8 life and capped resist atm, but some T13 bosses or packs seem to oneshot me, there's no way I could survive say minotaure. Any tips to get tankier? Thanks a lot


If you know something dangerous is coming like a boss, use decoy totem for the cost of some dps (since its harder to keep 100% uptime of the dots). Decoy totem on this build tanked the uber atziri trio longer than the cooldown is due to the tons of totemlife and capped resists.

Besides that there are more or less obvious defensive options that require low investment:

Keep endurance charges up with enduring cry

Blind via stibnite flask

Rumis concuction flask for armour + block/spellblock.

stone golem for occacional taunts

keep fortify up

enfeeble or temporal chains are techchoices if the dmg is fine for regular mapping




Further there are ofc upgrades to the gear for higher life/armour values and defensive passive choices

Hi Milky, Happy New Year. First of all, I have to thank you for the build. It is amazing. However, I have question on the Witchfire Brew Flask. I'm using POB to keep track of my damage (since I can't view it in the game itself). When I checked the Witchfire flask in POB, it shows that my damage actually went down. Since the flask give us "40% increased DOT", isn't it suppose to boost up my DOT?
Hi milky great guide, what are you opinion about zerker vs chieftain? what do you think is the best?

Short answer: the guide is tagged with Berserker for a reason.

long answer:

Berserker has the sweet burstheals every 2 sec for 25% hp + ~1k liferegen via enduring cry, 40% more dmg and is more mobile with faster shield charges.

Pros are the good substain in longer fights, higher dmg output and slightly faster clearing

A con is that he's hurt more than a chieftain with high spike dmg amd has a really hard time with uber atziri (no fire immune totems)




Chieftain has the fire immune totems, 16% more dmg, a bit totemplacementspeed and doesnt need to spam enduring cry to heal/keep endurance charges up. He is in general less active.

Pros are the fire immune totems which lets the totems survive longer with the non existant self-dmg (totems can take more hits) and bosses with primarily fire dmg do nothing to those. Due to the less dmg of enemys near a totem he receives lower spikedmg than the berserker (-8% dmg dealt of enemys vs +10% more dmg taken)

Cons are the lower damage and worse substain with just the life regeneration.


Both are close together, but i like the berserker more for the warcry feat alone. Its simply amazing on a passive build. However warcrys compete with decoy totems taunt, it needs some 'practice' to not spam warcrys unnecassary if you want a decoy tank for ya

Thanks for the reply. I'll wait for your update on the build then.
well i just removed the witchfire brew now ;)

That flask was changed in 3.1 and has no purpose anymore.

Will add all the useful shaper/elder mods somewhere once i got time to look em all up again
