MARAUDER CHIEFTAIN VOLATILE DEAD SPELLSLINGER

Hello! Welcome to my build guide for a Chieftain build I've been playing recently in Delirium league. The build is a variation of Zizaran's build necro volatile dead and focuses around the new gem Spellslinger, together with Barrage and Volatile dead skills.

Pros:

+ Easy to level, League start.
+ Solidly defensive - 6-8K Life.
+ Cheap to get off the ground.
+ Can clear any content in the game.
+ Good DPS, clear.

Cons:

- Enchant is expensive at the moment.
- Can't use Whirling Blades/Leap Slam.
- Maps with reflect mod, insta kill.

(Please keep in mind that the build and the guide are currently in-complete. The build may change from time to time as I experiment with new things. And I'm also planning a complete overhaul of the guide in the near future to make it more comprehensive and reader friendly.)

There are only a few gems that you must run in order to make the build to work. There's a lot of flexibility in what supportive active skills you want to run in this build, so it's going to be largely up to you and your playstyle.

Tip: This build is very good to farm with Devoto's Devotion and 20%+ move speed boots.


Attack Skill in leveling tips:
(You will want just below 4 APS preferrably, aim for that at any level in order to maximize your triggers per second)

- Frenzy - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Life Gain on Hit - Blind/Culling Strike/Chain (until gets ice bite skill)

- Use Decoy totem in Labyrinths, hard content. In other cases, for clear use summon Flame Golem in cast when damage taken and cast steelskin normaly before start a wave of mobs...

- If you have problems yet, use summon flame golem in CWDT and decoy totem taking off steelskin.

Auras:
Herald of Thunder in leveling; after Summon Skitterbots or Anger;
SPELLSLINGER.

I hope you enjoy this build and feel free to comment

Hay i think about make this build

with a bit more tanky for DHC

one of this

did you test any another gem with Spellslinger i see some peoples using Blade Blast or VD is best ?

also how do you gain Endurance charge ?

what you mean CON: Can't use Shield Charge Why not ? you can use with
wand

why are you not using Concentrated Effect on VD its give so much DPS

Volatile Dead - Concentrated Effect - spellslinger - combustion - Ice Bite should be better not ?

Either i'm missing it or you're missing wand attack linked with spellslinger and other spells/support gems. Spellslinger = Trigger supported spells when you fire projectiles from a wand attack.

Thank you for fast reply. We gain endurance charges with flame dash, I'll test in 6 links Concentrated Effect. I don't think spellslinger link in wepon is necessary to build works because we're using it with desecrate, but I can use it in wepon and edit the post.

How do enemies get Chilled / Shocked ?

Hello we chill with ICE NOVA skill. I'll try modificate herald of thunder for skitterbots but maybe don't have enough mana reserved for shock. POB UPDATE, I got the helmet and modificate for skitterbots.

Did you abandon Frenzy? I don't see it in the POB. Also, can't seem to get the auras to work. Thanks for the build.

One more question, how do you activate Tawohoa (Normal Labyrinth) while using a wand?

Hello, I use frenzy in leveling, but I use another clear skill to do maps and end game. I use Kinetic bolt linked with Ice bite to obtain frenzy charges... works very well.

Hello to activate Tawohoa I use FLAME DASH, anytime... I can suggest you use in Harvest Enduring cry is good to use actually very well effect... The most important thing is you have endurance charges to have a good life regen in the game...
