War Cry Automation and Mechanics in Path of Exile

The Chieftain's war cry mechanics offer powerful regeneration and buffs, enhancing gameplay for RF builds.

### Building Around the Scion's Suns Roar
The new war cry node, Scion R's Suns Roar, offers infinite power and a 30% buff effect, with the potential to achieve a 100% war cry buff effect. The automated war cries, including Enduring Cry and Ancestral Cry, provide significant buffs like 20% regen per second and max all resistance. The combination of these buffs and the potential to scale regen rate can lead to a substantial life pool recovery, making the build effective for RF (Righteous Fire) gameplay.

### Automating War Cries for Maximum Efficiency
The character uses a single war cry with movement speed pauses to minimize downtime and maintain maximum endurance charges. The Apple is used to automatically generate war cries by triggering them when reaching maximum endurance charges, with a minimum of four charges set up. A trigger wand is employed to reapply the war cry every eight seconds, aiming for perfect uptime and the possibility of adding a fourth war cry for increased defensive scaling.

### The Power of Regeneration and Self-Hit Mechanics
Enduring Cry significantly boosts regeneration from 20K to 10K, providing an additional 6K regen. The Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice offers a unique self-hit mechanic, dealing minimal damage based on energy shield, making it ideal for life-based builds. The Shepherd of Souls Keystone reduces the cost of Val skills, allowing for maximum soul storage and multiple uses, creating a powerful synergy with Val skills.

### Optimizing Val'kyr's Uptime with Soul Management
Val'f's cost increases initially but falls off after 8 seconds, allowing for additional uses and effective uptime. By extending Val'f's duration, players can achieve up to 40 seconds of use for the cost of 40 Souls. The helmet's low-life damage mod is not ideal for this build, leading to risky situations and multiple deaths while leveling up.

### Optimizing a Chieftain RF Build
The character's mana pool reservation and damage optimization were achieved through skitterbots and Purity of Fire. The player's crafting addiction led to a mix of high-quality gear, with the helmet being the least prioritized. Overall, the build is decent for T16 mapping but subpar compared to other RF builds, with the player considering a Chieftain RF start in the future.

### Making Cheap Adorn Jewels
Creating Adorn Jewels is not as expensive as it seems, with easy-to-find options for burning damage and life. The process involves buying jewels with the desired mods, splitting them for a chance at perfect stats, and double corrupting them. The speaker plans to work on a min-max project with a Caster build, aiming to showcase its strength.

### Exploring War Cry Mechanics and Shepherd of Souls in Path of Exile
* 🔥  Welcome, Exiles! In this guide, I’m excited to share my insights on the Scion R, Suns Roar, and the powerful war cry mechanics that come with it, particularly focusing on the **infinite power** and **30 buff effect** of war cries.
* 🗺️  With the new Chieftain changes, I found the war cries to be much more usable, especially with my automated setup for **enduring and ancestral cries**, which significantly boost my **maximum resistances and regeneration rates** during gameplay.
* 💪  Enduring Cry provides a baseline of **10% regeneration per second**, which can scale to **20% with a 100% buff effect**, contributing to a **substantial regeneration of roughly 6,000 life per second** from my **20,000 life pool**.
* ⚡  The mechanics I implemented include generating war cries automatically through a combination of **minimum endurance charges** and the **Enduring Composure skill**, allowing me to maintain a **steady flow of buffs** without the need for **constant manual activation**.
* 🔄  I also utilize the Forbidden Rite skill in a trigger wand setup to ensure my war cries are reapplied efficiently, although I noted that the current cooldown mechanics create **slight downtimes** that I aim to **minimize** in future iterations.
* 🛡️  The Shepherd of Souls keystone enhances the use of Val skills, allowing for **significant uptime and reduced costs**, which pairs excellently with Val Righteous Fire, enabling **near-on-demand access to powerful skills during combat**.
* ⚠️  However, I caution against using this build with Petrified Blood due to its risks, as it can lead to **low life situations** where pressing Val Righteous Fire can be fatal, emphasizing the need for **careful management of health and skills**.
* 🌟  Overall, while my current build is **decent for T16 mapping**, I believe that there are **stronger alternatives available**, but I remain enthusiastic about **exploring further possibilities with Chieftain builds** in future leagues.
