[3.17] The Warchief | [Facebreaker] Ancestral Warchief | Uber Boss Farmer | Beginner -> Expert

So looks like there's no nerfs really affecting this build and it should get a nice buff from the new base ring. Looking forward to trying it out in essence league.

So, now that the notes are out, what do you expect for future usuabilty of your build, guggel?

In my opinion I couln't find any nerf exp. for voidheart which probably was too strong anyway.

I have to find a fast way of leveling now.

Hurray, skill not nerfed and any tree changes :D So probably no need to update :D Except the ring, but was too powerful, couldn't expected that they leave that ring as it is.

I think its viable, i personally played last league like for 5-7 days, and reached ~70k with AOE, ~100k with conc. effect and the gear wasn't expensive.. Actually maybe it can't be easy to get abyssus helm fast, but other things shouldn't be problem (atziri's step provides also just defenses, can be really replaced with rare boots), my gear in those 5-7 days was like (at 76 lvl):

Ive leveled SSF with 2h 5L 350 PDamage hammer (Earthquake) and 5L yellow chest (Ancestral Totem) till 80 lvl with Leap Slam and it was super easy to do Merc Lab. Still not tryed double totem - have no reason for that XD

I'm thinking of going ancestral warchief in 2.4, but trying to decide between berserker vs heirophant. How do you guys think about heirophant vs berserker?

Thanks!

Patch Notes 2.4


The following changes do not affect existing versions of these items, unless you use a Divine Orb to reroll them.

Voidheart: Its Chance on Melee Hit to Bleed has been lowered from 100% to (30% to 50%). Its Chance to Poison on Melee Hit has been lowered from 100% to (20% to 40%). We feel that this ring provided too much of a damage bonus for one non-weapon item slot.

Soooo. maybe voidheart will not be a good choice anymore, need some testings. legacy voidheart will work as usually. But in case of the new Steel Ring i think its not that problem because u get a LOT more overall dmg ;) without the voidheart

as i wrote in the guide even only 1 totem deal huge dmg with facebreaker. and because the essence monsters are sealed it should be very easy to deal with it. just like open an unidentified box. place totem first and than let them do the job, should not be any problems i think

Excuse my stupid question but what allows you to cast 2 totems?
