3.1X FaceBreakin' Ancestral Warchief Hiero | Budget Friendly | User Friendly | All Content

Final Update!

3.13 Changes
Pursuit of Faith is nerfed. This really only effects map clearing as this does not build up as much for bosses. Certainly not a build killer!



Ritual of Awakening is a buff. Not sure if the cast totems one by one will be a buff or a nerf... one of the reasons i always went with 6 totems was because of this item. we generate a lot of mana so that should not be an issue.



Conviction of Power looks like a nerf on first look, but if you can get endurance charges elsewhere, that will be a nice boost to physical damage reduction. I would try and use Enduring cry. Go from 12% reduction to 32%! Damn thats nice!
Power charges don't affect the totems.


Endurance Charges Items

Overall should be just fine!
Here are the last POB links for this build (3.13).
Only the Swift Skewering path was changed and is after you hit 100. the DPS goes down a bit (impale goes from 90% to 80%) but you also have 2 points to play with (i added them to life wheel).

I do not start using AW until level 42. I start with Smite and go with it. You need to be able to adjust based upon the gear you get along the way!

Hello,

I noticed you had "60% increased critical strike chance if you haven't crit recently" on your boots, but you also have the never deal crits node. Is there an interaction with totems that bypasses that or was it just on the boots when you bought them?

Correct, that enchat was just on the boots and crit does no good for this build.

good BOOT enchantments are:

Regenerate 2% of Life per second if you were Hit Recently
10% increased Movement Speed if you haven't been Hit Recently
10% Chance to Dodge Attack Hits if you've taken a Critical Strike Recently
8% chance to Dodge Spell Hits if you've taken Spell Damage Recently

I always went with either the speed bump, or the 2% regen as it can be a really nice defensive quality of life bump.

HELM:
25%/40% increased Ancestral Warchief Totem Damage
24% increased Ancestral Warchief Totem Area of Effect
150% increased Effect of the Buff granted by your Stone Golems

there are so many helmet enchats that i never bothered with them at all.

Hi, any good tips for the Cast on damage taken combos in this league? Havenot played for 3 years. Current build is trying make a sweeper with a staff, thanks for any advices !

Couple of options these days... of course they are not as good as the old immortal call where you were invulnerable for a couple of seconds...

Immortal Call still works ok
Steelskin can be used also.

Mostly today I go with these:
Vaal Molten Shell
Vaal Cold Snap


Molten shell gives you the protection and Cold Snap slows the mob that hit you by chilling it. it also helps to identify who hit you too.

and then both vaal skills can be used for defense!

here si the cheat sheet for the maven map bonues too

You are the man! So I should link both games with it? What can be the 4 gem here? And why Vaal version? I thought it can be only used manually.
Also, what about the immortal call?

link both with cast on damage taken. in the 4th socket i like Siphon trap. it can cause your hp regen to go over 1500+ a second...
the normal version are cast when you take damage, the vaal version you can cast yourself for extra protection... feel free to experiment too!
So with both vaal versions, I only use it manually in hard situations? Because I've heard, if you cast vaal version and then COD triggers a simple form of the skill, it will cancel the vaal effect ( for example molten shell vaal effect). Thanks for the trap hint, I will try it !
Just tried Siphon trap, it doesn't work with COD slotted :(
