Hi I am new this is only my second build. I have farmed a little currency with my first one and this build looks fun. But I am very confused as to which version to take? the vaal pact, no vaal pact, uber lab farmer, etc? Can you help me, which one is better for a newer player?

how big of a damage gap is there between the EO and RT versions? I've tried the Slayer and Chieften versions so far, but I'm tempted to give this a go on raider; just not sure if it will be a homerun or a failure.

How end-game(red and maybe uber elder) viable is this build after 3.3?

Thanks for the detail build.
I am new to this game(about 3+ weeks) and follow your build in last 2 weeks of bestiary league.
currently fine with up to tier-11 map.

I have one question: Does Vaal Pact make a lot of difference in build?
you called the non-VP build as Uber Lab Farmer build, give me a impression of non-VP is better in lab farming only.

I googled the mechanism of leech, and know that there is a limit of leech based on the maximum life.

If my life regeneration + life leech limit > life leech * 2, does that mean non-VP is better? (This game has too many mechanism that I still need to understand.) Currently I have 6383 hp and 536.2 hp-regen/s

I first try with non-VP, then switch to VP two days ago, then switch back to non-VP. The Blood Rage damage annoying me with VP, and the attack speed + Frenzy look like a lot of damage buff to me (or I am wrong?). I wonder if it is worth to give up Blood Rage for VP.

I am ready for the new league with the same build!

Edited:
I watched a video posted by Engineering Eternity recently about leech,
with my current HP (6383) and HP-Regen(536), without VP, my maximum recovery rate is 6383*0.2+536 = 1840
and with VP, it will be 6383 * 0.4 = 2553. It is a 700+ difference, seems huge, did I calculate it correctly? (I ignore the leech instance rate and assumed that I can reach the cap easily, which should be the case with VP, correct?)

I played the last league of your build - it was strong ))
I hope you update this build under 3.3 - I miss the cyclone.
Thank you for your builds and constant support and advice on the forum.
With respect and gratitude.
P.S. I wrote through Google translator, so do not judge strictly for the presentation )))

Any adjustment to this build in 3.3? maybe some Vaal Impurity of Fire + watcher's eye mod? I don't know if it will work. Haste and Vaal Haste share the watcher's eye mods, but purity and impurity are different words.

Hello.

Thank you for the build guide. I appreciate the work you've put into it.

I have a question though- Compared to Slayer with its leech, how far behind that would the Chieftain be in terms of survivability?

I would very much like to play a Chieftain as something different and i love the whole theme of it, but I am concerned about losing the very powerful Slayer leech. With Vaal Pact, how well does Chieftain perform in that department?
