Marauder
ChieftainIntroduction
Welcome to CWS Chieftain.
This is a build that emphasizes low input and "AFK" like gameplay, allowing players to relax while exploding the screen.
To keep things simpler, this cover early game and mid-game progress. A brief section about endgame shall be included discussing what was utilized in 3.26

How does this build work?
Offence
This build utilizes Cast when Stunned Support for triggering 
Detonate Dead of Scavenging to explode enemies killed by 
Righteous Fire.
In conjunction with 
Hinekora, Death's Fury, ignite chance and a source of Ignite Proliferation (generic), this allows for full screen chain explosions
Defense
The biggest selling for this build is the "near immortal" nature of the build. This build achieves "hit immunity" at the cost of losing max hit.
We achieve this by utilizing 
Valyrium or 
Skyforth and taking 
Blood Magic to guarantee enemy stuns on us.
Since every hit on us is a stun, we also use 
Bloodnotch to instantaneously recover up to 60% of that hit. 
Unfaltering is also taken along with the stun mastery. This allows you to take a 50% roll Bloodnotch to reach the 60% target.
The reason for 60% target is because we use 
Petrified Blood.
TLDR, this prevents 40% of incoming damage, and 3/4th of that (30%) is lost as Life over 4 seconds. This means you can take 30% recoup from 
Infused Flesh to offset the degeneration to achieve parity.
Ultimately, this means we are immortal to hits unless we are 1 shot or taking cold critical. Refer to bloodnotch mechanics for a very in-depth explanation.
League Start
As CWS Chieftain is an early game build and not a league start, there are a few methods of getting up and going.
Pohx.net will be your bread and butter as a brand new player. I typically recommend players to follow his guide and transition to Cast when Stunned Support later on.
This is because the build requires Bloodnotch and 
Immutable Force to function.
During 3.26, the prices of these items were extremely high during days 2 and 3, before settling around 50-100 chaos there after.
Pantheon
DO NOT TAKE BRINE KING DO NOT TAKE BRINE KING DO NOT TAKE BRINE KING DO NOT TAKE BRINE KING DO NOT TAKE BRINE KING
This will brick your character when you rely on being Stunned and you're immune to stun.
Minimum Requirements
Bloodnotch obviously, followed by Immutable Force.
Cloak of Flame is cheap and 6-linking it isn't required typically.
Rise of the Phoenix is a fantastic early game shield as it gives us a ton of stats that we'll
Immortal Flesh is utilized for quite a long time as it gives us a lot of early regeneration.
Valyrium bloodnotch combo
Early Game
Razor of the Seventh Sun is a common 1c unique which will be our temporary upgrade before endgame options.
The Hateful Accuser is our single target. This enters the game after day 1 when people start finishing nameless rituals.
Prism Guardian tends to hover around 40c early on, and allows us to fit an additional aura. Make sure to pick up 
Champion of the Cause and the Life reservation mastery.
Late Game
This section is pretty much gaining more levels, picking up more nodes and upgrading rares.
Things to note are, if you find yourself lacking regeneration such as dropping Immortal Flesh for a stygian vise, dropping fire mastery or dropping Rise of the Phoenix, you can pick up 
Brink of Death for huge recovery.
