Level 95 Crit Volcanic Fissure of Snaking Chieftain^3.24

Notes

Level with static strike and some duration nodes or just volcanic fissure of snaking from lvl 12 onwards.
lvl 16 : add heralds of ash and purity
lvl 18 : add shockwave to your links
lvl 28 : pick up a brutus's lead sprinkler and get strength anywhere you can. Add battlemage's cry + automation + iron will and you will have a very smooth and easy leveling
lvl 31 : add pulverize to your links
lvl 35 : add redblade banner shield

Chieftain:  easier to stack strength because you need less resistances on gear, the big AoE explosions are the good almost everywhere, Tawhoa has a great synergy with fissure(makes a mirage that cast fissure too), the forbidden jewels for Tukohama ascendancy are 1div each so pretty cheap.

Downsides of static strike : convert to lightning , need more passives to invest in duration nodes, it's a strike skill that namelocks and can get you killed if you miss,  chieftain ascendancy with strikes is prettry ass
Upside of volcanic fissure : convert to fire, don't need duration passives, slam skill with good synergy with the ascendancy, monsters can be behind you and the fissure will auto aim and hit them, I'm fairly sure it can shotgun in tight spaces and overlaping AOE, it's a "melee skill" but you can play ranged. The fissures can split from pack to packs and you can zoom zoom similar to static strike.

alberon's warpath double corrupted : bought mine 50c otherwise 1c
Fractured base glove : about 40c
Helmet with elevated crit chance per 10str : about 6div to make it yourself -> get a warlord helmet and get 2 warlord mods including "accuracy is equal to your strength" then use an orb of dominance and hope to win the 50/50,
then you can use "suffixes cannot be changed and reforge fire to get the %phy taken as fire damage mod.
Headhunter : I dropped mine but it's about 8div and not needed.

I crafted all my gear with a fractured base + deafening essence of rage for strength or deafening essence of envy for the chaos res.

Large cluster jewel with 35% fractured base : 25 div O_O , I got it at level 94 and used serrated+pristine fossils until i got strength+all attributes+ life and it was still painful to craft even with the base.
