" Why not take tawhoa path? way much safer and have endurance charge generator | |
" Tukohama War's Herald is better choice because it makes Protector/Warchief totem behave like Decoy and they reflect 15% of maximum life as fire damage when hit by mob. Tawhoa Forest's Strength generates endurance charges on kill and Red Dream jewel will be able to replace it easily. | |
" I think it should take into consideration that it is a good cheap option for those who are starting. Endurance Charge generation (budget) + 10% fire damage per endurance 10% of physical damage from hits taken as fire dmg (pretty nice) 0.5% life regen per endurance +100% fire res (budget) + 3% life regen when hit | |
Hey, I played the slayer version in Abyss thank again,
I'll probably go SSF next league so I don't know if i'll be able to play Ngamahu again ... Anyway I have several questions. How do you plan to proc effectively EO ? Is it worth to drop RT for it ? we will need to invest a lot in accuracy then. And finally the slayer version was really solid thanks to the leech, here I don't see so much investment in defenses, do you think VP + totems taunt will be enough or do you expect some changes to the leech that are not mentionned here.

What if you combine the Chieftain ascendancy and the Xoph's Blood? Will the 100% conversion of physical damage be a fire damage? And is there any point in this?
| |
" At base 5% crit chance, with high attack speed and 90% chance to hit, you should be able to proc Elemental Overload frequently. At least 80% of the time during mapping, and 90+% during boss fights. This is the same as the EO skill tree in the Slayer build. If you push your crit chance to around 14%, you will pretty much have 100% up time for EO. FYI, Slayer EO provides higher damage than Resolute Technique version when you have the proper gears for it. P.S. The skill tree is spec-ed such that you can easily spec out of EO and switch to RT (by investing into Cleaving + Executioner). :) In terms of toughness, Chieftain is pretty much the same as Slayer. With Vaal Pact, you will have enough life per second to keep you alive. And just like Slayer, dropping Flammability for Enfeeble curse is great for leveling your character. ____________________________________________________________________________ " You don't need Xoph's Blood at all because you are already at 100% conversion as Ngamahu's Flame convert the other 50%. :) Last edited by kira1414 on Feb 26, 2018, 9:49:55 AM

How do you think this build compares to Ahfack's Crimson Cyclone build in terms of both DPS and survivability?
| |
"Having played both Ahfack's and Ngamahu's Slayer, I would say they are both at the same tier of power, with ngamahu being cheaper overall. Vs. Chieftain though I think chieftain would be better for achieving the same amount of DPS for cheap however you lose a bunch of QOL from the Slayer Ascendancy. |
