Mirkulas BV Chieftain 3.4 Build (1.Chieftain SSF Flashback)
" awesome build, man. looking forward to playing this build in 3.5 as well. Just out of curiosity, will you say that this build is also a good build for lab farming at the beginning of the league? | |
" Its a good farmer, because you have high regen for the traps and blade vortex always been one of the quickest ways to kill itzaro just switch spell echo with conc effect and build up your stacks and he is done. You may want to get a bit more movement speed and invest in phase run for faster running. | |
" Thank you very much. Will u start the new league with this build? | |
" No, I did play this build 2 times one to 98 the other to 100. Also did blade vortex occultist last league. So enough of blade vortex for me. But its a lot of fun. | |

Can someone give me a rough comparison between Elementalist BV and Chieftain BV? During the Incursion league, I played Tri-Herald Elementalist BV following DirtyDot's guide on PoE forums and really liked it, and wanted to also play it this league, however, a change in class and ascendancy would definitely be fresh welcome for me. I play softcore. I'm more or less interested in looking at the pros and cons of each build when compared to the other in the following categories and more.
Single Target - AOE - Defense - Uber Lab Izaro - Uber Lab Traps - Cost to get to uber lab farming setup - Overall - I try to do all content, but I usually farm uber lab more than anything else (I know there are uber lab specific builds like jugg tank and all, but I also do other content and usually have time to invest in only one character). Thanks. | |

Single Target
I would go with chieftain by a small marge. You don't need gloves and shitty physical to lightning gem for full conversion. You don't need to reserve triple herald for the penetration but get 10% pen from asc. Instead of 20% shock you get the covered in ash and can use vaal lightning trap if you really wanna shock. But the difference is not so big. I guess most Elementalist player would say elementalist is a bit better. AOE Clear win for Elementalist, even with fire explosion shaper mace, Chieftain doesnt blow up the whole screen. Defense Clear win for Chieftain. You got so much life regen, leech and physical mitigation. Uber Lab Izaro On both build a matter of 5-10 seconds. I would go still with chieftain in case Itzaro gets a slam in. Uber Lab Traps Clear win for Chieftain. Did i mention the insane regen and pysical mitigation Cost to get to uber lab farming setup: Tab, Starkonjas and movement speed boots is all you need. And maybe flame dash or phase run helmet enchant if you wanna go quick. Brightbeak, Elder gloves with attack speed mod and curse on hit or corrupted gloves with ele weakn on hit also work if you wanna shield charge. | |
