Usually I try to create a low budget build to do all the "standard" content: atlas completion, beating the league mechanic, all bosses, anything but Ubers really, as my janky builds normally aren't good enough for those. I guess that is what I'll do this time as well :)
Maybe I'll try the new chieftain, though I am not sure he is going to that powerful. Hopefully new gems and balance changes will create new build possibilities!
Do you try your janky builds first and go to the low budget "working" build if they don't work? Or do you use the regular build to provide funding for the janky builds?
I league start with my builds, I try to come up with something that can fund itself. For the most part it's fine, sometimes they are really nice even. Sometimes... Not so much. In sanctum I tried a Generals cry volcanic fissure berseker and that was not a fun time. I do the usual planning in pob and make sure the numbers look alright, but with new skills you just don't know how it is going to play like. I do love running this experiment though and it keeps the game fresh for me.
