[3.7] The Iron Poet. Chieftain Incinerate|Fireball|Armageddon Brand

https://pastebin.com/v5nNhtHU

The build revolves around Chieftain ascendancy and Tasalio which gives us excellent life recovery when we take fire damage (+50%).

We try to take fire damage from all sources possible.

Tasalio allows some physical damage taken as fire.

We further enhance this by the new unique timeless jewel:



Tempered By War

With this, to cap resists, we need
Cold Resist = 76% max :: we need at least 152%(*0.5 = 76%)
Lightning Resist = 76% max :: we need at least 152%(*0.5 = 76%)
Fire Resist = 81% max :: (75 + 2 from tree + 5 from )

This is relatively easy due to Tasalio again that gives us 100% fire resistance.

Essentially we will have this regeneration buff active at all times when enemies are nearby because we also take Unwavering Stance.

To Enhance this, we stack endurance charges (6) with 0.7% life regenerated per charge and a lot of flat life.

We can further enhance the life recovery by Fully upgraded Minor Pantheon Ryslatha and Major Pantheon Aarakali though these are more situational.

The Pantheon

Chieftain synergies well with all things fire, be it offence or defence.

To top that my first Uber Lab on this character yielded the enchant of 40% increased Incinerate damage.

So it made sense to build around Incinerate and Ignite.

This staff 6 linked is pretty cheap and adds a ton of damage to ignite/fire builds + much needed cast speed:



Ring 1: Malachai's artifice gives a lot of our required resists in one slot and some welcome elemental equilibrium - we will socket in a blue gem into this.



Ring 2: The emberwake unique ring gives us some much needed cast speed, fire damage, an additional ignite which gives an overall damage boost.



Amulet: Another cheap amulet which gives us a free curse and some fire damage, life regen, a defensive aura and some attributes.

Rare Helmet: We have two options here.

Offensive: Delve crafted nearby enemies have -# to Fire Resistance
Defensive:


Rare Gloves: Life + Resists + Optional cast speed


Rare Boots: Life + Resists + MS


Stygian Vise: Life + Resists + Flask Mods if you find any

Life + Missing Resists + Fire Damage + Reduced Mana Cost + Dexterity

Recommended watcher's eye can be an endgame upgrade - it adds a lot of defence + easier mana sustain on incinerate (I got this for 1EX+100C)
