Hi,

Could you please help me decide which aura and vaal skills to use as chieftan with Mortal Conviction and Tukohama's Fortress? Using vaal haste + vaal grace + flesh and stone is very frustrating because you can only have a single one active at a time. So you can't stack your auras, which kind of defeats the purpose of carrying three of them.

I'm currently only using the haste aura for a constant attack speed boost and vaal cold snap. Any advice?

the vaal auras (buff) count to Mortal Conviction? or do you mean the normal aura ?

Yes, they all count to mortal conviction. So using one cancels out the other, both normal and vaal versions.

so ive come up with this, tell me what you think. maybe you have a better gem setup https://pastebin.com/9tDvd5ft

Hello,

I am currently followng your guide, but i lack a LOT of damage, but i had no problem clearing all 10acts from now .

Mapping take me YEARS because i don"t have a good waveclear.
My area of effect is just too small (maybe 5 meters? i dont know :D )

My dps ingame is around 25k , and 60k when the ascendency proc (+ 100% fire dmg)


my POB build atm : https://pastebin.com/QfAsKwdm
-> average dps : 25k
total dps : 40950

The problem is that half the item listed are at 35chaos+ (jewel,rings, or 1+ex ( chest, boots), i tried with alternatives yellow item but the dps granted is not that much
-> what should i prioretize in jewel : fire dmg or area or hp?

Thanks a lot

i think you missed alot of inormation in the guide. your rings/amulet are far from good because they have very low physical dmg (some rings with high phys rol larent that expensive. than you dont use a "meginord" belt wich will also give you alot dmg

than you did not pick "constitution" which gives you a huge life boost.

and you pick up grace and cold snap, but not the vaal versions i recommend in the guide. the normal gems arent usefull for this build.

to the chaos problem, the items in this league are more expensive than in the previos league, obviously because they buffed melee very hard, but it shouldnt be a problem to find some good upgrade for a lot cheaper than 35c+

fire/area dmg are equal in dmg output, if you need life, than go with life first, and if you need more dmg, than go with mroe dmg first ;) or just dont look at 3 mod jewels and pick some good 2 mod jewels like fire/life. shouldnt cost so much

That's okay, take your time. It's not that much of a difference anyway, and I personally think that the constant speed aura from haste with Mortal Conviction is much better than the short and momentarily boost vaal haste gives us. Simply because the normal buff has a 100% uptime at no cost whatsoever. Not being able to use vaal grace or any defensive aura is a bit of a letdown, but so far it has actually not been an issue for me at all.

Anyways, thanks a lot for keeping this build updated!
