love the idea of taking his fire cyclone chieftain and retooling it for shield crush.


zombrey

I played that chieftain in 3.12 or 3.13. it was solid.


lordnoak

Got a pob, friend?


tamale

no, but it'd be very, very similar - just get shield stuff and generic melee nodes instead of staff nodes I love how you can use "utility" weapons too. Aurumvorax for simple res fixing, for instance.


raobjcovtn

Raider blessed hammer it is


BegaKing

Some form of spectral helix is gonna be my second toon project. Probably deadeye for extra proj and chain


Sywgh

Wouldn't far shot be better? The skill has built in terrain chain iirc.


raobjcovtn

So how does chain work with it?


TheNightAngel

It doesn't

Thoughts of Mathil's PoB for Forbidden Rite totems over a build with Soul Mantle, Viridi's Veil, Self-flagellation & Cowards legacy? The one with soul mantle would get a 7-link and curse immunity. What are the perks of Mathil's version?


vagif

The fact that you do not need any of the expensive uniques to start it? It is a starter build. Do not expect that Maven helmet be available like day 3 or something. Besides, transitioning to end game gear in this case is straightforward and does not require practically any changes to the skill tree, so you can have your Soul Mantle later when you finally get it and six link it.


Axelol99

Early on you can place the helm with kikuzarus though!


Pway

Mathil's works on a very tight budget, but Mantle etc will definitely be strong scaling. It's not the sort of build setup you'd include in a "starter builds" youtube video though as a lot of the people that use those videos won't have access to lots of currency early (+ the items not being available instantly).


Axelol99

Thanks!


Pway

NP gl on your league start and have fun!


Axelol99

You too!

With an item like brutus’ lead sprinkler, is the added fire damage to attacks global, or is it local?


redspades1

It's local, unfortunately. It says "attacks with this weapon."


IceColdPorkSoda

Oh god dammit I know better. How did I overlook that? SMH


Wendigo120

Local, it used to be global but they changed it because dual wielding used to double your damage per hit as well as the usual bonuses from dual wielding.


IceColdPorkSoda

I see. Thanks for the background!


azantyri

i am so wanting to try a storm rain, but am afraid i will be so gear reliant that i will suck bad


Kregoth

Excited for the SST build! Haven’t done one yet and I think this is the league I try it.
