1. yes you can use totems with chest.

2. yes you can warcry with the chest.

3. You don't need IC, curses, heralds, or anything else at level 90+ - especially if you're a BM melee build.

I'll gladly take 100% inc phis damage, 160 life, all that regen, and even a resist thank you!

You can use Ancestral Warchief, that is obvious. But what about spell casting totems, like Bladefall? Will they do no damage?

It's an interesting levelling unique, it isn't meant for endgame so it's perfectly fine, does what it was designed to do.

If anyone is wondering about the steep restrictions it's the fault of one stat - increased size. You can't introduce an accessible endgame-friendly unique that has a very exclusive cosmetic stat meant to demonstrate your accomplishments in the game.

I don't think you can place them at all, and if you remove the chest, place them and equip it back they will do no damage.

This chest appears to have one purpose and one purpose only and that's to just give melee a big boost to damage and life that you really can't get on any other chest or rare. You could come close on life with a craft but none of the other good stuff. Plus that kinda life crafted on a yellow will bump that yellow to like a level 67 or something req. This chest you can use at 38. It's an amazing leveling chest - again for melee only. Bladefall and everything that goes with it would be completely different build and not what this item was intended for.

I know every wants that phis damage boost and life but can you imagine if they did allow spells like Bladefall or BV with this item? Yeah...

Your Spells are disabled -> Your Non-Aura Spells are disabled

since not all melee are actually just physical and some actually need those defensive auras

and if they really want to buff melee they could also change the 'increased' to 'more' and change the 'physical' to 'melee' that way bows cant benefit from this ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ya you can't curse on hit, I've tested it and then some.

That 160 life isn't that spectacular, the selling point is the % physical damage. Though at the end of the day having even a single curse let alone dual curse-ability and Immortal call > it. Its funny that you can't at the very least IC anyways. Sure this frees up your sockets for counter gems or the use of Kaom's roots but for real this chest is nads the way it stands now.

You sure? I mean, you tested it? Because other people said you can't.

You can warcry just not immortal call because it is a "spell"

Melee currently needs CoDT IC

... seriously? It's comments like these that make me want to stay in Gameplay Help and Discussion forever.

Dear god, I did not realize the phys damage roll would go up to 100%. The leak only showed 69% and somehow I read it as 60% (it's weird, I'm usually the one scolding my girlfriend for calling $3.99 objects three dollar objects when they're clearly four dollar objects).

Those AR/EV values are laughable and need to be pumped up.

Eh, the item is meant more for soaking damage than evading or mitigating it. That's the game in general right now anyway.


Yeah, the phys damage roll is quite nice, though at higher levels it's likely better to go with Vulnerability and/or Vaal Lightning Trap to shock stuff for more damage. But it is a damn fine leveling item for characters that don't use spells.
