Rf totems any1 ?

bait

Man ... Chieftain and Guardian got done dirty this patch.
Nothing like what happened to Trickster and Pathfinder.
Assassin and Saboteur are still lost in the woods.

It's really baffling that when GGG was revamping ascendancies after 3.0 they were all pretty dang strong. And then after Delve GGG started systematically removing node powers one after another as soon as someone made some sort of niche OP moment during a league that could not be replicated again after it. Then came all these revamps that totally overhauled each ascendancy ... and they took a ton of power away from them, including a lot of defining abilities. Now we have a lot of generic stuff, and changes just for the sake of changes.

I don't get excited to do lab runs anymore, as ridiculous a statement that is in and of itself.

Except for Valako the nodes look terrible, RF on chieftain died with that change. Before it had phys to fire conversion(which was good for explode setups), fire dot multi, free cover in ash and physical taken as fire (huge defense). The new chieftain now only exists for forbidden jewels to gain either Valako on Jugg or Tukohama for bersi/jugg. Choosing it as main ascendancy will be a gimmik it doesnt have strong defenses, sure its harder to get going but getting maxres can be done on Jugg without issues aswell and dmg wise it has literaly zero to offer. About Hinekora lets not even talk about it with 5% chance you will mostly not even notice having it while clearing a map.

edit: Ngamahu is also a bait when you look at the passive tree there is not a single place where its worth to go out of youre way to specc different nodes and for those who dont know there is a unique jewel with the property and its not changing nodes to "generic" fire damage like for example when you spec a node which increases physical dmg with axes it will convert to increase fire dmg with axes etc

Guess ill try a searing bond righteous fire chieftain

little upset about the % chance to explode node, occultist has a 50% chance to pop cursed enemies for 1/4 of their health, if they were to make it even 25% chance to explode for half or even a third of the total hp it would be way smoother.

Pohx: "Imean, it'll be fine, def weaker but could be interesring"

Lance:"This is awful, this is garbage, will be the worst ascendency in the game"

Ducks:"RF Chieftain might be INSANE"

ah yes, and this is why i will go Jugg

Unaffected by Ignite seems to be great with "Damaging Ailments cannot be inflicted on you while you already have one" protection mastery (which you already would take to stack max res)

Can one make a loop with the new arohongui node? Is there a way to self-damage totems? Would be so cool

I think this rework is the worst I've ever seen, is there with the Fanaticism nodes for inquisitor that still we just pretend they don't exist.

I am not a fan of nearby while stationary on Ramako. I think this is perhaps the weakest node on the ascendancy, especially since RF typically runs legacy of fury which gives exposure and pop anyway. So RF on a budget is probably the top melding ones, Ngamahu and Moons presence regen Totem? something like that.

Wonder if we can double up Static Strike now. That'd be funny

Yeah this chieftain rework is really bad, old RF chieftain was way better

how does this chieftain looks solid? all he can do is righteous fire now. you wont use him for totems, and the slam builds are even worse than they were before, not only that but chieftain lost ALOT of utility and survivability. yeah it got tons of res, but its not like he couldnt get that outside the ascendancy. i mean, juggs and many templar builds walk around with 90 cap res without them.

they lost ALOT of the regen, and the endurance charges. they got some mediocre if not straight up bad nodes as well. who the hell will sacrifice ascendancy points for standing still to deal less damage with dot fire? who will waste their points in getting 5% chance at dealing a bit more damage to a group?

chieftain wasnt good, but at least you could argue about the usability of all nodes. this time? you get literal trash that is worse than using those points into the minor nodes!

brother how is this good xd we lost everything good from the ascendancy, they kept the worst node (doubled down on it too) and in return we got like 400 life regen and like 5 max res if you grab 4 ascendancy nodes, stack 400% fire res and grab like 4 masteries.

Phox has gone over the reworks and doesn’t think it’s going to be as OP as it appears. Let’s face it he is the king of Righteous Fire.

200 thumbs down? Why the hate?

Nah new Chieftain is pretty trash don't call a nerf a buff. The entire ascendancy has 1 good damage node and 1 good defensive.

The problem is essentially melee being ass.

You can get max res on any ascendancy everything else is useless in new chieftain

Molten strike Chieftan?

Decoy totem with new mortar support will allow you to stand still for the ignite node and the totem regen node, max res and fire to cold and lightning res nodes. This ascendancy is going to be the most trash to treasure class in quite some time

Pretty insane video

Was this a Sarcasm video?

You should make a vid with captain lance and talk about this ascendancy about pros and cons comparison. Like always nice vid

lvl 30 ancestral call + oro sacrifice flicker + trigger lvl 20 tawhoa's chosen + enemy has no fire res

Slams are the only thing I see this tree being great for. At the same time, I've been dying to do slams for a long time, so I'm all for it

What the hell happened to your face!?!?!? Haven't seen you in a vid for a while and the beard is ... well... let's just say I don't like beards. ;-)

It is sad that at least 3 of the nodes are complete trash, perhaps even 4. I predict that everyone will take storms embrace and pretty much everyone will take wars herald as well.

Flames advance might be better than expected for an ignite build. Nodes for weapon damage usually gives damage with ailment and damage with weapon. If damage is converted to fire then it works for the ignite as well as the hit meaning you will double dip into increased ignite damage. The increase damage with ailment is bound to the weapon and I dont expect it to change so there is realistically only a couple of 2h nodes and perhaps the axe node near marauder start that are interesting. But then I remember that ignite is trash and it will probably not be a thing anyway. Large cluster jewel with increased damage with axe and sword might be decent if the effect works on the cluster jewels. I fear that it might not and there are not that many places were you can get a good effect. There is a chance that increased damage with ailments will instead be changed to increased fire damage, effectively doubling the increased damage for most weapon nodes but as always it is not hard to get a couple of thousand increased damage, even if you manage to get 200 increased damage it might not do much for your damage. But it might be strong in the early game. They could even change it so it adds increased fire damage in additional instead of transforming and I think it will not be broken but obviously much better.

Honestly excited for the 500% pop, if your running through maps or whatever its easy to pull in 20+ enemies so 5% chance is ok. Pull in a boss for an instant kill. Perhaps for bossing you could use that flask that spawns worms or something dunno how much hp they have though 😅

tukohama,war's herald is good for forbidden flesh / flame jewel

Wtfffff, big ducks is supposed to bitch and moan about everything

nice FTL soundtrack in the background

i dont know what ur smoking my fried the new ascendancy looks like dog shit

But is there any damage in the ascendancy?!

One good node + one meh node + a bunch of ass does not make this insane.

Seems wholly terrible with the exception of 1 node.

Jugg with storms embrace flame jewels is going to be the only time this is used, and it will
Be INSANE.

Honestly they got the POE2 version notes mixed up with the POE1 ver. Should be fixed shortly

I wana try burning arrow from a long time, idk if it will work this time

If I find a Nebulis on SSF I am probably doing some kind of monstrosity spell caster chieftain, but I am pretty concerned about this spec as a whole after CaptainLance's video. It mostly seems like fodder for Juggs and Zerkers to steal Valako's.

Time to dust off molten strike and melt stuff

I mean flicker strike Oro's sacrifice would work well with the fire damage conversion and free ancestral call

Maybe i'm crazy but I don't think this is that good, yeah some of the nodes are cool, but they're way weaker than what you're loosing. Tawhoa and Tukohama don't work together, hell even the two skills on tukohama don't work together. you don't really get that much more res from Tasalio change but you lose phys taken as fire and regen speed. Hinekora is overkill when it goes off but 5% isn't enough to effect clearspeed. Gaining taunt on totems from Arohongui cant even compair to losing 100% increased ancestor totem effect. And for Ramakos standing still in POE is a death sentence and if it doesn't stack with flamability, scorch, ect you end up losing damage by turning it on because its easy to bring enemies to negative res. Valako is great though worth playing a jugg or berserker and getting that with Flam/Flesh

Tukohama is dogshit. Fist of war is for slams which no one uses, and Ancestral call is 10% more damage + 2x strike skills targets, for 4 fucking ascendancy points. It's literal garbage tier.

In my opinion Chieftain is so bad now that nobody will take it - only really good node is Valako will really want this on my Jugg

It's bad.
