I started Chieftain using both some attacks and holy flame totem and flamewood support. Sometime later later I really wanted to go the melee ignite route with controlled blaze and sadism, but damage was lacking. All in all super slow getting through the campaign.
Getting into maps I switched to Boneshatter (the build I wanted to do initially). Immediately felt much better, getting into yellow maps in a four link so far, still lots of room for improvement, I am somewhat optimistic. Lots of cool tech for hitting one self, such as recoup, endurance charge generation and self ignite.
Haven't really used the league mechanic too much. I can't really tell why I am either absolutely crushing it or being crushed, there seems to be no in between.
And finally I am really sad about the Guardians Blessing support. Can't be triggered, hard to impossible to keep your minion alive and you have to reactivate the aura manually. Ouf. Let me know if you found any good way to use it.
But I am having fun.
How's your league going?
When tried Generals cry with volcanic fissure it was also terrible in sanctums. The delay from the skill and the attack just caused it to miss targets all the time. Although I guess it was especially bad with volcanic fissure as the travel time of the fissure is added on top of the summoning time of the mirage warriors.
