Looking for a quick meta leveling Chieftain build.
I have something that I want to test and I need a level ~90 Chieftain to do it. I'm looking for a build that can get me there as fast as possible. Does not need to be viable for any bosses or any endgame content at all, just needs to level to 90 and retire there. Don't care about the skill tree, I have regrets to throw around. I have a bunch of standard leveling gear (+1 tabula, wanderlusts, goldrims, assorted random uniques); would prefer not spending too much additional currency.
What is the leveling meta these days? Flameblast totems? Incinerate? Molten Strike? Am I completely off track? At what point, if ever, should I start bothering with incursions and the temple? I noticed that doing them during the storyline just leaves me ten levels overleveled and slows me down, so I've been skipping them on my second character. Are they worth doing for the XP in maps? Again, I don't care about loot. Thanks in advance for suggestions. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on Jun 14, 2018, 2:56:08 AM Last bumped on Jun 14, 2018, 5:42:07 AM

I would probably do this with some kind of "Cast when Channeling" setup.
"Cast when Channeling"-"Scorching Ray"-"Firestorm"-XX-XX-XX With some Leveling gear this should be pretty easy to at least lvl 80. An then you can switch to RF for the last 10 Levels. It's the standard way to level when you want to play a chieftain RF in the Endgame. |

Sunder can get to 90 in one day if you're fast enough (assuming you can play all day on the weekend or something).
If you're not experienced at it, it'll take a bit longer, but it's still your best bet. Get a Screaming Eagle, a Brightbeak, a good rare axe for lvl 45-48, and then finally a 300-320 pdps Siege Axe. In your offhand use a Princess saber from level 10 until level 53 where you equip a Prismatic Eclipse. After that, just cap resistances, get some life, and a bit of flat phys on jewelry. Then just spam maps until level 90. Passive tree is just a standard RT DW tree. There's plenty of guides you can watch on youtube as well. RaizQT has some. Sunder has been the go-to leveling skill for many leagues now. |

With the recent buffs, I would say BV would take the cake for speed leveling. Rush duration nodes, get the corrupted belt from temple with +45% duration, and slap on 2 princess. Should be good to go.
Once 52 or so, grab lightpoacher. At 69, add bubonic trail. You should blow stuff up really fast and tanky at the same time. I am still finishing atlas with my trapper (easier to do maps cos I can do all mods). But once done, I will be making it myself. Should be decent for everything that doesnt involve ele reflect. discord id: dejuvenate#5828
