hello and welcome, Exiles. I'd like to introduce you to my chief and righteous Fire, my take on it, what I'm trying, which is trying to build around the new war cry node, Scion R, Suns Roar. I believe this one right here, war cry, have infinite power and 30 buff effect. If you have these two nodes and then you grab just simply this wheel here and this wheel here, you're looking at 100% war cry buff effect, which I think is pretty cool with the new war cry. Now, I'm going to open up a map here, get into a little bit of a showcase, and I'll talk about it as I go. Now, when they released the new change to Chieftain, I was very excited 'cause I felt like that made it a lot more usable in a lot more cases, and I was just a big fan of that. Now, I'm getting to finally trying it out, and I'm doing the Scion Sun Roar while having my war cries being automated, all except intimidating cry, and I'll get around to

that but my enduring cry and my ancestral cry, which is also giving me Max risen res and regen. Those are the Buffs we get from are being completely automated, and you'll see them go off as we run through this map specifically. Now, what did I like about this and why do I think it's good for RF? Enduring cry at a baseline with Max Power gives 10% regen per second. With 100 buff effect, that's 20% regen per second, and that's a pretty big amount, especially if you consider the fact you can scale that with regenerate, which is a suffix you can get on boots and gloves and helmet as well. You can get it on, I want to say, the tree and potentially if you were to like steal The Jug note, etc. You can scale it. So, myself personally, I have about 55 regen or something like that regen rate, which ends up making it give me roughly 30% of my life pool per second. If you look at my life pool, I have about 20,000, so the

difference in when end during cry is on versus not on is roughly the difference in I don't know 6K regen or something like that. You'll also notice throughout this map you may have looked down at my um oh there's bosses here while the dude spawn in. I I thought the bosses would have been on the earlier guy. You'll notice I'll have five uh valf ticks right here. I press it once it goes down to two but I still have more to click. This is something that I want to showcase which I think is very very strong which is the fact Shepherd of souls is very good with Val righteous Fire. Now I'm going to finish up talking about the war cry Buffs and what they do and then I'm going to get a little bit into Cher souls and what's interesting about that um sorry I'm getting my brain going all over the place here but okay so enduring cry 10% base regen between this Chieftain node right here and these

seven passives, three on this wheel, and four here. We have a 100% buff effect to war cries. We also have ancestral cry right here, which gives a base of three max all resistance or Max Al res, which with 100 buff pack scales to six. So, 20% base regen, 3% Maxes, which goes to six Maxes. And then we also have intimidating cry, which would give us up to 3% movement speed for five power. So, that gives us up to 36 movement speed because it's 18% time 2, which is a lot of extra movements me. Now, originally, I was planning to have intimidating cry in here. I might give you a little Showcase of what this looks like. If you look at my buff effects in the top left here, you'll see them go and there will be roughly a 1 to 2 second downtime in this setup. You'll see they go down and then boom, they're back. Okay, now the problem here is I could spec two

points here for a little bit of war cry duration, and that would get me basically where I need to be, but it would still be there would still be just a nan of downtime, and for me, my comfort level said that's just a little bit too much downtime because I am capping my res with ancestral cry, and I want to make sure it's up. So, in the end, I had one war cry. I was occasionally pausing for movement speed, and the other war cries were always up with the more duration support. Now, how am I generating these War cries? Why am I using the Apple? I'm not a big fan of the idea of manually casting the war cries. I believe it leads to a stronger character overall in terms of power, but it leads to also me having to press more buttons, have to think more, have to be more active, which is like it's a good thing and a bad thing. It depends who you are. Maybe you'll like that, maybe you won't. So, what are we doing with Apple? How are we

generating these war cries automatically. Apple says when you reach maximum endurance charges, it will trigger a war cry, and then you will lose all endurance charges. The key thing to get around this is minimum endurance charges. That's the key. So what we have here is we have four minimum endurance charges, and then I have two maximum on my tree, which means once I go to five, I go back to four. And once I go to five, I go back to four, and that triggers the Apple. The important factor here of how you get this setup going is you just have something like enduring composure, or B Juggernaut, or C some other generation of endurance charge. I like enduring composure. You hit yourself, and then it generates an endurance charge every second, which makes Eternal Apple trigger every second. And that's how we have these war cries being automatically applied to us. Overall, this loses us power because we cannot use our maximum endurance charges, 'cause whenever we go to five, it automatically goes back to four, so we lose some of the defensive

power and B. You lose a unique Shield slot, which is power, and you lose the fact you have to invest into things like enduring composure, where normally the war cry effect from the chieftain would just generate Max endurance charges, stuff like that. There is power you lose for automation, but I chose to do it just 'cause it would feel better while playing the character. Now, how are we triggering the selfish to guarantee internal apples is happening? I have forbidden right here in a trigger wand, which means every 8 seconds it will reapply my war cry. Now, something I should note here is, remember earlier when I said I don't have 100% up time on these cries? This is why. If I could get the 4-second trigger, I could have all three of these easily in here, and it would maintain perfectly. You'll see when I trigger these war cries here. Let's take out the mor duration support. It's a 7-second timer. This cool down has an 8-sec timer.

built into it the trigger mod here. If I had the 4-sec timer, I would have 100% uptime with no issues, and thus I could go for a fourth war cry. Maybe I could self-cast seismic for 50% more armor, and I could lean into some more defensive scaling that way. But hopefully, that gives you an idea of what we're dealing with here. The trigger mod is now tied to a temple mod. I just didn't want to invest the extra money of trying to transfer it over to a wand and do all this extra crafting. I just bought a cheaper fractured fire do multi wand for a convenient wand, and I just did essence of fear to give myself multi, and then I benchcraft. I settled. It is what it is. If you want them in Max, you could go for the 4C trigger, etc. But you do you however you want to do it. Now that is the war cry automation. The benefits are things like 20% regen, which hopefully I can show you what this looks like on my

character. I have four regen at 20K. That's my base. What happens when I go to enduring cry? I go up to Let's for trigger. I go up to 10K regen. So, it's giving about 6K regen, 5.5, whatever it is. Point is, uh, it's a lot of regen. Uh, inter Turing cry is insane. And I honestly might consider doing a Chie enget where I'm self-casting the war CES. I add in those extra buttons because it feels like a lot of power for a few amount of points. I'm thinking about it. Anyways, I am doing specifically, oh, I forgot to mention forbidden right of Soul Sacrifice. This is something cool if you're doing a trigger build where you need a self-hit from forbidden right. If you are life-based, cool little factoid here is this only makes you deal self-damage based on your es. So, my es is only 65 energy Shield. This thing right here only hits me for

like 40 flat damage. It's a great self-hit over regular Forbidden Rite, which you have to have a lot more mitigation for, and it hits a lot harder with chaos damage. But something cool, somebody in my CH shouted it out, and I have to say fantastic. If you're doing a self-hit mechanic like this, Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice is a great addition in terms of lessening the amount of damage you take from that self-hit if that's what you want. Alright, anyways, um, something else I want to cover is Shepherd of Souls. This Keystone, if you are not aware, it got changed multiple different times. It used to be tied to, or it is tied to the unique, um, aad, no, not ahles. I don't know what the name of it is. It's a Val scepter that you drop from Ultimatum. Very few people use it anyway. Shepherd of Souls, what it does is it gives your Val Souls 80% less cost, but then every time you use a vow

skill in the last 8 seconds. It increases the cost. So, for example, if I were to go to shoot, I already cleared this map. Let me go to, uh, I'll just go to Blood Aqueduct to try to explain what's going on here and why I like it, and especially like it with um, valf. Essentially, what ends up, what that ends up mean is you can still store than max number of souls you would normally have with a Val skill. For example, I think Val righteous Fire is 30 or it's 40 or something. Let me check Val righteous Fire. It goes up to 40 Souls per use. So, you still up, you still can store up to 40 Souls. So, I'll go back through here. I'll kill some enemies. I still store up to 40 Souls, but my skill cost 80% less. So, the valve skill cost here is going to be eight instead of 40, which means there's five possible uses. Now, what that means is when I use valf, I click this button, you'll see I can only click it two more.

times because the cost went from 8 to 16, which means the 32 is split between those. But after 8 seconds, that cost falls off, so we go back to four additional uses. Now, the thing I like about this so much is it's basically very, very good uptime on valf. Our valf lasts 6 seconds. The downtime of the extra cost lasts 8 seconds. So basically, if you up your duration a little bit more, got valf up to 8 seconds or something like that, you could end up effectively getting 40 seconds of duration for your valf for the cost of 40 Souls, which would normally give you only 8 seconds of duration. And what that means is you can pretty much just use valf whenever you want to, and you're going to have good uptime. It's not like even though I'm in Soul gain prevention mode right now and not generating Souls, I can still go and pop it right away regardless or depending on, you know, if I'm using a lot, a lot of my

souls, and I don't want to wait for the 8 seconds. I can pop it again and still keep running it, and it ends up giving you just... you have to play with it, but it's basically like on-demand valf pretty much whenever you want. It's not unlimited; you have to think about when you press the button a little bit, but my word, does that feel pretty good in my opinion when playing valf. So, I would just shout that out if you're think... if you like to build around RF, you're not necessarily... you like to be able to press that button a lot during maps. Shepher of souls is a great thing to do that. Now, small or actually rather large caveat to this whole character: I have a helmet which has the mod more damage while on low life. I want to stress this is not best in slot. This is... I was being cheap, and this helmet cost me five divines, whereas the equivalent helmet with the more Elemental damage mod was listed for 40 divines. This is not ideal.

I want to stress this: I do not recommend playing petrified blood with Val righteous Fire. Do not do not recommend it. It's something that you can do for cheap, but if you'll notice on the screen, it says Val Val RF deaths 8. You see that text up there? That is because what happens when you're on low RF or low life and you PR press Val RF. You go to basically one HP. So what it does is it's a button where if you press it right when you're about to get hit, you will die. You have a character that has 10K life with petrified blood. You're very tanky, but when you press that button, you have a character with like 10 HP and petrified blood, and you are not very tanky. So I died multiple times on this character while leveling up to 97 due to the fact I was using this thing. I was forcing in petrified blood. I do not recommend it. I would recommend having a

reservation on your mana pool, not doing blood magic, and you can force in more damage through things like skitterbots or going purity of fire. You can min-max your character a little bit better. This is what I did 'cause I wanted to be cheap about the helmet. I went, how do I put this, I have an addiction to crafting, and I don't really like crafting the RF helmets, so I'm speaking out of both sides of my mouth here in a little in a lot of ways because I made some gear that was really good, like this amulet, but then I was too cheap to make the helmet. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but the TL;DR is this helmet or this build. We probably spent somewhere in the range of 100 to 200 OFEs out, excluding the amulet. The amulet, I think, is a much higher cost due to the focus base. It just keeps going up. I had focused amulets lying around, like me cobes lying around that I bought much cheaper throughout the league as I just saw.

copies pop pop up and then I five to one them. So full disclosure, if you're playing this build, um, that's around the cost now. Overall, my review of the character is I think it's decent. It's good for mapping, but overall, it's average. It's subpar. It's not something I would overly recommend. I think my version of Garf, uh, multiple leagues back in Crucible Canan, I think he's just a lot better at doing an RF build like this, and I think it would perform much stronger than a character like this. So I'd recommend Garf if you're looking for the huge life es scaling RF. It goes, gets more damage, and probably ends up being tankier. But this character for some chill T16 mapping and some okayish G17 mapping, it did well. I'm pretty happy. It had fun playing it, and it makes me want to play Chiefton in the future. Maybe on a League start, I'll consider a Chie RF start. So anyways, that is the look into the

mechanics I tried out and that I liked. I do like enduring cry, do like a lot of the war cries with infinite power, not a big fan of the buttons. I like automating them, but maybe in the future I'll do some more stuff with it. This is just my stab at doing an RF setup with Chieftain and doing more life-based. We went into a large cluster setup and just going for a lot of the life nodes, and we did do life scaling with burn damage with Adorn Jewels. Whether or not burn damage is better than fire do multi, I don't know. I didn't plug it into po. My generic way I thought about this is I have a lot of do multi from doing reflecting Mists on jewelry, like my ring and my amulet, which means most likely I have more do m than most builds would have. So, I assumed maybe burn damage would be more. I didn't plug it into PB. Fire on Multi might be more, I don't know. You can do the math.

yourself. I just wanted to test this out, and that's what I went with. I did a 95 adorned, and I did some magic Jewels. If you're looking to make cheap Adorn Jewels, by the way, just a little shout-out to how you do this, just because I think a lot of people think Adorn is very expensive to set up. Generally, it's not. The jewels, depending on what you're doing, can be quite easy to create. So, I'll give you a little example here for these Jewels. I made a bunch of burning damage life Jewels. So, if you have increased life and you have burning damage, what I did is I wanted perfectly Divine Jewels. So, what I did is I searched for jewels that already had these two mods and were not corrupted, and I searched, and I found Jewels like this 3C, 5C, 8C, 10C, all the way up to 20, 25C. And what this is, is you can buy these jewels and split them, and you have

a one in three chance to get 7% life, 20% burning damage. Jews, and I went ahead and I went and double corrupted them. Now, the full story is I got really unlucky on my double corruption odds, and it ended up costing me more than just getting magic Jewels with these two stats, um, but that is neither here nor there. That's just how you do it. Is what I'd recommend either that or buying the fracture if you have a mod you want that. Use a cheap fracture. Just a little shout out to if you want to do a Dorn, that's a way to do it. Anyways, ad Dorn I think is very good for Life scaling still. I think it's pretty competitive for other builds, uh, it's up in the air. Um, I'm going to try doing it another mmax project with a trickster. I want to do a Caster base CU. I want to showcase that I believe a Caster build can be quite strong, and so that's why I'm working on setting up.

Right now, that's going to be a min-max project again. We'll see if I go to the void again. I don't know. Time will tell. Anyways, hopefully, you guys enjoy this video, this look into some mechanics of war cries and Shepherd of Souls. Maybe it inspires you to do something with your own build and maybe gives you some ideas. As always, thanks for watching, Exiles. Take care and peace out. Have a good one.
