Yup. That's my plan. I already have 7ex for this. However i have to unlock multicraft. I already have got Hits cannot be evaded available on by bench craft.

Critical strike and quality isn't better for this? Instead of attack speed and quality?

Also question about hillock quality. How does it work? Hillock corrupt weapon and makes it not available to craft further? Can i brick my item by this?

First time crafting this kinda weapon.

The hillock quality will not brick your item, it would only apply 28% quality to your weapon.

Why no life flasks?

Finished the budget gears and its POB for Ritual League, feel free to check it out!

Next I will update mid-tier crit version as I farm more currency :)

Any reason to not recommend an amulet like this? There are many with physical as extra fire damage on the market for very cheap and POB says it gives a lot more damage than other amulet stats.

Great guide, very fun playstyle for me, but I had my doubts about dropping the tawhoa node, I know in pob is lower damage compared with other nodes but I had false dps info with weird mechanics before in pob, so my theory is that yes the exerted damage doesn't count but everything else does and did a live test with my 89 chieftain, removed elemental overload, the 100 extra fire every 4 seconds and went to lab and tested the 3 nodes with a white two handed mace (lowest crit) and consistently killed izaro faster with tawhoa compared with fire pen node or the totem node (only used a lvl 19 aw totem).

My recommendation is do your own testing maybe I did something wrong, but in my testing noncrit (you can check my character, the only chieftain in my profile) with crit would be even more damage sice or base damage is higher.

Thanks so much for testing, we need more spirit like this!

As far as I know, currently there are 2 things GGG has confirmed:
1. tawhoa's chosen will not benefit from fist of war support
2. tawhoa's chosen will not benefit from exerted attack effect

Let's say these 2 are the only drawbacks of Tawhoa's Chosen, then we can estimate its damage upper limit easily in POB by :first disable siesmic and intimidating cry, then disable fist of war, at last, add 50% more damage in gear. After all this, it adds around 10% of our current max damage, not as good as other nodes.

Now the number is only upper limit. what is still unknown is: whether the mirage warrior will inherit our character's critical strike chance and its crit multiplier, if it does not, then the damage will reduce significantly further.

I tried to test Tawhoa's chosen's damage in game but did not find a good way to eliminate my own damage. After all, the mirage warrior only attacks when you attack :)

If you have good way of testing this, please let me know. I really want to make Towhoa's Chosen work because having a mirage slamming together with you is so cool to see :)

Hello!

After getting a better weapon (and overall improving my gameplay), bossing is way better then before.

Just trying to find an augment crit and hillock to finish this staff.

I just have one more doubt: I am currently switching to "mid-budget tree". This means that I will remove Thrill Seeker and Annoint Measured Fury.
But how can I sustain mana, specially in bosses? I understand that Cinderswallow will be able to sustain mapping, but I can't see how this will be possible in bosses. I was expecting mid-budget tree to include a jewel socket to get some mana leech

Is there something that I am missing here?

Thank you and keep up with the excellent job with this build!

Hi, I have not updated the mid-budget build for Ritual league yet.

with enlighten + ash + purity + skitterbot, we will have ~100-140 mana pool (depending on enlighten level), with ~ 13/s mana regen. This is enough for most boss fights if you only attack while fully buffed.

Also make sure your skill tree has the mana cost reduction node, you can check my budget POB for detail.

I completely forgot about it! Thanks so much for reminding me, it provides ~4% higher damage increase than my current amulet.

I will be sure to add it in my next budget guide.

Thanks again!

Hey man, First of all thz for the great build, Have been playing it and clearing content with no problem, however i do start to feel a dps problem as I get to T15-16 map, I could still clear it but usually i would die coz dps is not enough.

I am currently using an axe

At this stage would u recommend crafting a crit staff or should I buy the disinerator and upgrade my armor/jewelry etc?

Hi, I just checked your character, seems like your character can benefit a lot from the most recent budget level POB and gears I updated for ritual league, especially the weapon.

Feel free check it out

Why u linked seismic cry to combustion, totem and golem?
maybe it would be better to use herald of purity there, because they can inflict combustion
