Chieftain VS Champion Explosive Arrow SSFHC 3.17

Can't go wrong with either build, both quite strong! But factoring ease of setup and damage scalability in I think Chieftain has the edge.
Honestly they're probably both just worse than my WoC Chieftain though pastebin.com/HTQq8n7H
Two points I ought to have covered:
1. Chieftain base life is slightly lower; this will make us worse at say standing in enviornmental non-ignite degens. However, champion is probably still worse for this as fortify and taunt also do not interact with degen and champion has more max res.
2. Non-situational defence is better for champion as chieftain gets more boost (23% from situational layers) than champion (only 10%)
Also: Not sure if I mentioned I dropped defiance banner and added a low level precision for Chief, but I did. This will not effect mana as everything in this setup is on lifetap.
I forgot to change the guard skill from molten shell to immortal call for chieftain; it is corrected now (this is to proc Valako). I would just keep it on your left click

Would love a comparison video with Hiero. Would also be interested in seeing your personal progress with the Chieftain version (gameplay and POB with all gear etc).

Overall They do almost the same damage , but champion has fortify. Wich means Champion is the stonger choice.
Nothing on the chieftain tree overweight the 20% all damage reduction from fortify, thats the point why you go Champion. Chieftain cant get fortify at all.
Champion is alot more tanky.

Liking this build, quick noob question: how do you lose an endurance charge every 8s?

[@aequus2553]

Not a noob question, I forgot to change the guard skill. Chieftain ought to be using Immortal Call; I would have it on left click

[@tigarasab784512]

What about fortify?
