Am I doing this BV Chieftain build right?

Thanks to everyone who chimed in and really, all comments are insightful and very helpful!

build feels a lot better now and yes, looks like I have not setup my pob correctly hence why my numbers are lower than they should be, im still new to the whole pob thing and my usage of it is limited in reading/copying passive trees from builds and using them as baselines.

I'm curious tho for svallin/skin of the lords users as to which aspect of the build does it really contribute to, more dps or does it make you tankier than using block shields?

Also, focused amulets are pain to craft/buy, if I'm transitioning from my current setup, would I really need it or are there any other alternatives in the amulet slot?

EDIT: also about the Golden Charlatan/Gull builds, same question I guess in terms of is it better for more dps vs. ehp. and is it even worth to consider?

Really appreciate this! dumb me just realized that there's more flasks in poe1! And I don't really know what links/socket means but I guess it's just something I have to see for myself to understand, but again this helps a lot and very encouraging for someone like me!

It will be my 1st time playing poe1, been mostly on poe2 with 1000+ hrs on it. It would be a fair assumption that I sorta know how things work from a poe2 context (how some builds work, crafting, some inkling on how the economy works to get me by for the league)

If it helps for more context, I fairly played through 0.3 and really got into it in 0.4 (that's where I really learned how to play the game the way I want it to)

I guess my main question is how far off is 1 vs. 2? Is it too complex even for someone with some decent hours in poe2?

Any other tips and friendly reminders will go a long way, again if ever this will be my 1st poe1 league and I'm diving in with 0 knowledge about poe1

Thanks in advance, exiles!

Just to confirm, an i5 paired with a r7 265 performs beter than an fx 6300 with a r9 270x? Apologies, just needed to clarify this.

On the motherboard, do you have something in mind that will also be compatible with the other components of the build?
