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?
Going smooth.
Running Enki's new Lightning Conduit build. Made it to Yellow maps so far and it seems to be holding up. Invested about 20 chaos into gear and there's still lots of room for easy improvements.
This is my first league seriously pushing maps since they introduced the Atlas Passive Tree, and I'm loving it. I hit all Shaping nodes for +1 Tier chance, the important Kirac nodes for progression, and the Lab Trial nodes for Uber Lab. Now I'm investing into Delve nodes so that I can spend more time in the light with my best boy Niko. Trying to decide if I should follow the meta and go Essence/Strongbox nodes next, or follow my heart and do Abyss/Delirium/Legion. Also considering blocking out Heist/Harvest. I hate Heist, and it breaks my heart to see Harvest in its current state.
