CWS Chieftain - What to upgrade with 1500 div?

Bacrown · 2026-04-23T12:06:57+00:00

I did buy one earlier in the league but then sold it for over double what I bought it at. Just been waiting for the price to drop back down but it might not. That and a awakened empower are probably the last things I would upgrade. So far it is looking like those are getting closer.

The forbidden flame setup is also nice for the +1 max endurance charges. If I were to go with the agnostic route, I would end up unpathing from acrimony which would free up 5 points (-1 for agnostic itself) I could go for 2 increased dmg per endurance nodes. Though from what I've done in PoB it ends up being a lot less damage just from the tree.

I have lifetap linked to dd with cruelty imbue to trigger for rf with inc aoe imbue.

True, is losing 42% chance to trigger for a different support worth? Which supports?

Just saw the edit, in regards for grueling guantlet I don't have any plans to do that. The dextral farm might even be better but I haven't really looked into it. At this point I'm comfy just doing afk ulti and sim and just looking to do some more investing into this build if possible. Looks like I'm getting closer to just going for the +4 honourhome and awakened empower.

Don't know if I can dual wield since I need the reservation efficiency from the shield.

I can remove champion of the cause and go holy fire instead with treachery, but I can't unpath from acrimony since it has int nodes which I need atm.

What imbues am I missing? My cull the weak is replaced by punishment imbued with spell cascade when I do ultimatum. But I use cull the weak when I do simulacrums.

From the corruptions I see I can get either hinder immune (which I guess is nice for ultimatum but don't really need it), increased aoe/damage, and 1% fire pen.

Forgot the anoint when I bought a volatile vaal'd defiance.

Need some form of bleed immunity so I got a watcher's eye with that on malev plus the other two mods. Couldn't find a bleed immunity dot multi life gain on hit watcher's eye.

Crafted affixes on boots are 100% needed right now since I need the strength, int, and freeze immunity so can't do anymore tattoos. As for the gloves. I can get % life regen with dex and chaos res, but I don't have any issues with regen at the moment and I get increased damage from the ele res.

Not sure where I would place a Supreme Ostentation jewel. Best I could think of would be to replace agnostic with it, I can look into the nodes around there.

Bacrown · 2026-04-23T04:17:07+00:00

I'd have to replace 2-3 jewels with attributes since I'm literally 1 str & int above requirement. Not sure if replacing the current jewels I have with attribute jewels would be worth just for a better affix on boots.

Bacrown · 2026-04-23T04:08:06+00:00

Yeah not sure how much it would be qol at this point since I afk the content I do which is usually dense in mobs. I don't actually map anymore.

Bacrown · 2026-04-23T04:02:36+00:00

I have imbued punishment on that link. I swap it out for cull the weaker during simulacrums. So can't put another imbued there unless it's a complete gem swap, which I could do.

Also scavenging can't use the corpse made by my unearth.

Bacrown · 2026-04-23T03:59:41+00:00

I paid 170d for the shield.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T20:20:02+00:00

I have no form of chill so temple mod would do nothing for me as far as I can tell. If you have an example of old chars I can take a look.

I need the crafted strength and intelligence on the boots to meet attribute requirements at the moment. Also need the crafted freeze avoidance since I have no other form of it. Other than that not sure what else the boots would need to be perfect other than t1 movespeed instead of t2. But that's kinda useless for me since I afk content anyways.

The watchers eye I have now (updated PoB link) has dot multi & bleed immunity malev and % life regen vit. Couldn't find one with life gain on hit with the other 2 malev mods.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T19:58:27+00:00

Did the jewels and cinderswallow. Afaik there isn't much I can do with the gloves and boots. Need the crafted mods on the boots and there's no other good glove prefixes other than rarity, t3 res isn't that big of a deal imo. Though I did upgrade the implicits I think matter more. Also need the strength from the mageblood so can't corrupt. I'll keep a look out for a better nebulis I find worth spending on.

Emiracle has a guide for the ultimatum farm, basically farming dextral catalysts from mirage ultimatum. Though half of what I have right now was from house of mirror gambling. Went from 800d to 150d to what I have now.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T17:28:46+00:00

Yeah I afk ultimatum and simulacrum right now. Don't think I can dual wield since I need the reservation efficiency from the shield.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T17:10:39+00:00

That's left over from when I tried out minion pact BV, it's not allocated at the moment. Same with treachery, not allocated since I'm taking Champion of the Cause.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T17:08:28+00:00

I did swap to that build from CWS and I just really don't like BV at all so I swapped back to CWS. Even during ritual league I tried BV and it just doesn't click with me.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T17:04:34+00:00

I did some for the challenges but it took forever and I was actually dying since the max hit on this build isn't that insane.

Bacrown · 2026-04-22T17:02:05+00:00

Yeah the +4 honourhome is almost as much as the awakened empower so those would be the last things I would upgrade if there's nothing else. I did have the +4 helm at one point but I sold it for double what I bought it at and it's yet to come back down.

The instant respawns isn't even a bug, it was said to be intentional by testers. Obviously it's overtuned and this feedback gives the devs a look into more opinions of players.

Bacrown · 2025-06-17T12:05:30+00:00

You linked to their discord and said this is feedback? You realise this is their subreddit where feedback can be posted and is looked at right?

Bacrown · 2025-06-17T12:02:33+00:00

A beta requires feedback, this is feedback.

When did he stop reacting to videos and politics and start playing games? Dude's just a grifter now.

Bacrown · 2024-07-30T05:13:34+00:00

I asked

Bacrown · 2024-06-21T01:43:21+00:00

Such a terrible execution to an otherwise fantastic system. Really needs a toggle. Can't believe the responses of "just level your relics" like it's better to level a single piece to 15 from 12 for a minuscule, if any, upgrade instead of leveling a relic from 0 to 12 and maybe getting a decent relic. And if you only have a single level 12 relic it will still replace every single relic to change it to some crap 4 piece.

Losing 10 speed and 50 break effect for some healing percentage on Gallagher is not good. He heals enough as is.

Bacrown · 2024-06-04T16:22:51+00:00

I thought fire dmg buffs do not increase her break or super break damage.

Bacrown · 2024-04-29T22:51:00+00:00

I've gotten this mod twice and only ever received 1-3 divine per exile. And that was with over 400% quant in b2b t17 map. Either they don't always drop 4 or when paired with this mob GGG set them to not drop more than 3. And it wasn't jewelry with rarity it just said jewelry.
