[Heavy Strike] Fire Conversion Chieftain Stun Tank
Build Idea
The following is going to describe my idea on how to build a Heavy Strike Chieftain using Stun and Fire Conversion to burn enemies. The idea is convert Heavy Strike to as much elemental as possible while still using a one handed weapon. I want to keep Heavy Strike single target and let the Overkill from Herald of Ash spread to other targets while using the Warchief for support and additional stun. To convert/create as much fire damage a possible I use Herald of Ash, Added Fire, Weapon Elemental, Flammability, Physical to Fire and the Chieftain Ascendancy To help with stuns we use Callinellus, Heavy Strike, Bone Breaker (talent), Skull Cracking (talent) and on top Stun duration/reduced enemy stun threshold from skill gems (Heavy Strike, Stun@Warchief), belt and jewel affixes. One additional information on stun and Multi Strike. While the less multiplier on Multi Strike reduces the stun chance per hit the actual attack speed gain increases the stun chance it. That is because for a given stun duration you have more tries to proc a new stun. My gear You need 57 Int from gear to reach 111 Int for Blasphemy. I bought one amulet to cover for that need. The helmet can wear itself with the Dex from the tree because of the ~70 Dex bonus on the helm itself, you just need to equip it once with Dex gear. All the gear was really cheap to get. No more than 2c-3c per piece. Most of the stuff was bought for 1c. I crafted the armour myself using a Wailing Essence of Greed. You only need a 5link that you can get for 1c with ilvl >= 73. Just crafting armour/life would have been fine. But my Essence went pretty well. As a life character and especially as a tank I want to get chaos resistance covered. Having at least +60% chaos resistance is important to me. This is achieved by using Ming's Heart, Atziri's Promise and one additional piece of gear with >26% chaos res. Flasks - Basalt > Taste of Hate - Granite > Rumi > Lion's Roar - Atziri - Silver - Life Make sure to have Bleed immunity on one of your flasks. Because of Kaoms boots you do not need a freeze immunity flask. Skill gems - Helmet: CWDT(42) - Flame Golem(42) - Blood Rage(40) - Arctic Armour (RRGG) - Chest: Heavy Strike - Melee Phys - Added Fire - Weapon Elemental - Multi Strike - Physical to Lightning (RRRRRB) - Weapon: Leap/Shield Charge - Fortify - Faster Attacks (RRG) - Shield: Blasphemy - Flammability - Herald of Ash (BBR, lower Str and better odds to get BBR. Use Vorici 1B.) - Gloves: Warchief - Melee Phys - Added Fire - Weapon Elemental/Stun (RRRR) Jewels 2x Weight of the Empire 3x rare jewels with stun duration and %Block/%Attack Speed/%Physical Bandits Oak (Life) > Kraitlyn (Attack speed) > Oak (Endurance Charge) Ascendacy talents Ngamahu > Hinekora > Ramako > Tawhoa Leveling Leveling is done with two skills. Shield Charge and Warchief totem. To do that you need to buy Facebreaker, Meginords, Crest of Perandus and wear some low level jewelry with +physical damage. Auras while leveling: Herald of Ash, Hatred Shield Charge links: Shield Charge - MeleePhys - Added Fire - Faster Attacks Warchief links: Warchief - MeleePhys - Added Fire - Weapon Elemental/Faster Attacks Leveling trees: Level 40 > Level 50 > Level 60 After Level 66 we can equip our weapon and swap to Heavy Strike. Final form for mapping Around level 66-70 the path from the life wheel to the duelist area will be finished and we can respec the leveling path at the bottom. Level 70 > Level 80 > Level 90 > Level 100 Optional trees We can use Warcy instead of Flammability for better stun odds and go for the second stun wheel while keeping the 5th jewel. Stun, 5 jewels We can use Warcy instead of Flammability for better stun odds and go for the second stun wheel but instead of the 5h jewel we go for more %life. Stun, more life My own progression *edit* I am level 81 atm and the build is working really well. Currently doing maps up to tier 9 filling my map pool. The damage and the toughness is really good atm. Because of my well rolled 5link chests I decided to wear Belt of the Deceiver atm.

Reached level 80 and my map pool is around tier 7 atm. Doing pretty well do far.
Next big leap is buying the 6linked chest. Found 3/6 endgame lab trials yet. Merciless lab was a non issue. One thing I thought about is what happens when I get the 6link. I lose Enduring Cry that is currently in the chest. I thought about replacing the CWDT helm setup. Options are Vaal Grace, Enduring Cry, Blood Rage, Flame Golem, Increased Duration. But I still need room for Arctic Armour. Dernière édition par zorker#7481, le 11 mars 2017 à 07:56:15
