WELL, since I have zero interest in Minions build and already ran the elementalist version to 95 last league, I guess I need to main a Chief in Blight :-) I'm not feeling the love from following Meta since it just gets destroyed every league change. I knew Cyc was doomed. Seems like Incinertate is still under the nerf radar and still SUPER fucking strong. BTW, I will be reiterating my believe that a DW setup with Bodyswap or Det dead is a KILLER way to fly thru low level stuff. With GREAT gear I was in T14 just body swapping mobs :-) Can only get better with this one IMHO :-)


Hi there :D

I'm really glad to see you back on Incinerate :) Bodyswap is a nice twist i just don't like it because of fast screen changes. Same reason I can't play Flicker Strike...
Use whatever setup you prefer, nothing is set in stone. This is just optimal version for my taste.
Chieftain is tankier than Elementalist so you can reliably facetank endgame bosses with a little downside of lower dps and cast speed. :)
I will fine tune build again before Blight starts.
Much luck in next league and have fun!

ps I played this Chieftain in HC and it was my first HC char ever. It was pretty smooth until my whole apartment block lost power and I just entered Incursion. Needless to say when I got power back I was in standard. :(
Nevertheless lots of players tried it in HC and you can see some of them still on PoE Ninja :D

Really nice build. Not meta, easy and smooth to play, not that many buttons to press.

I've played it to the maps and have couple of questions:

-Why you don't use Fire Penetration? Switching to FP from Control Destruction allows for similar or even greater DPS, depending on monster's fire resistance. Plus, you reliably proc EO without need for the Orb. Plus with +2 fire staff it gives extra 2% fire pen.

-What's use for Detonate Dead? As for extra damage, it's rather low and very situational. It's much easier just to channel for a bit longer. Only DD and your gloves require dexterity, getting rid of DD will save you a point or two on your tree.

-Why wouldn't you get rid of Enlighten in your aura setup? With couple Eleron rings your Incinerate is gratis, and only Orb of Storms and Flame Dash use bit of mana. If you switch to FP to proc EO and adjust Flame Dash's lvl to fit your free mana limits, even with 100% mana reserved it won't affect you a bit. Even if you insist on having something extra to proc EO, Storm Brand is probably preferable, with bit higher crit chance and added mobility.

With potentially 3 freed gem slots it's possible to fit an extra CWDT setup. Since this char uses armor/Granite flasks and specializes in fire damage, Molten Shell is simply godsend. First CWDT could be CWDT-Increased Duration-IC-MC, while second low lvl CWDT-Wave of Conviction-whatever, with Flammability being perfect for offense and something like Decoy Totem for defense.

Btw, for mobs Ignite Proliferation Support instead of Increased Area is quite nice, allowing for off-screen clearing or hit-n-hide tactic.


Hi :)

Build is pretty much as optimized as it can be without going gg items.

-Controlled Destruction is a very powerful support gem and it gives 10-15% more damage than Fire Penetration. It comes at the price of low crit chance.

-Vaal Detonate Dead is a situational gem to quickly burst down Legions, Syndicate, Beasts... It's not necessary and if you don't like it feel free to skip it or use something like Blood Rage for Frenzy charges.

-I'm already using Elreon crafts on both rings so Incinerate is using 0 mana. Enlighten lvl 2 is necessary.
Which Path of Building are you looking at starter or full build?

-You cant use 2 guardian skills at the same time (Immortal call and Molten Shell) because they share cooldown. Also if you want to use Molten Shell don't use it on CWDT setup because CWDT will proc over Vaal Molten Shell and cancel it and you don't want that ever. Molten Shell is best used manually.

-If you want feel free to use Ignite prolif but i like more Increased Area. It's not much about how big area you will get after a full channel but how fast will area of Incinerate expand. That way you are keeping distance from mobs. Ignite that we have is kinda low, you wont get much use of it in higher tier maps.

Thank you very much for this nice feedback!!

I've seen all your videos and that Shaper death was like fuuuuuuuck xD

Pro tip: When fighting Shaper/Elder be in melee range. That way they will use melee attack to slap you instead of casting spells (Shaper balls and Elder spears). You can compare yours and mine Shaper fight to see the difference.

Feel free to give some input if you would like to change something. :)

Hello Torstein, first-time poster, long-time reader.

I love this guide! It's got a setup for level brackets, I've never died (outside of a bugged Act 6 boss...) and it's just visually crazy fun to burn things! (That didn't sound weird...did it?)

I took a break for a while and noticed a new League was starting so I was going to try this build again. Before I dive into the patch notes and changes; is there anything you noticed that might affect the build?

Looking forward to Blight! Keep belching the flames, Chieftains!

I understand... xD

Tyvm for nice feedback!

I checked the patch notes, build is almost unchanged.
I will update it again as soon as PoB gets crafting recipes updated because there are 2 types of -mana mods for crafting (channeling and non-channeling skills).

3.8 UPDATED

GL IN BLIGHT :)
Very smooth play, thx.
Torstein!
You made my evening when I was browsing the forum and I found this build-guide.
Incinerate was one of the first builds I ever played seriously and I haven touched it since, oh it must be since warbands league.
I've started my blight league journey as a summoner since that's what I normally do, just to get some currency and whatnot, but I am very much planning to level up this build very shortly.
Just a quick question, my summoner with a 5L and no other investment is breezing through the blight events, how is incinerate doing against the lane defense?
And secondly, and most importantly, which MTX armor would suit the blue incinerate best, I'm thinking stygian :D
Much love and best of luck in the new league!
