Hi Reddit,
I'm a new POE player and just started the atlas on my SSF RF Chieftan. Prior to this, I tried out a few other builds while clearing the campaign, but each time just getting through campaign and getting stuck at Atlas because I kept dying, hence the switch to RF Chieftan to get more survivability (also my wrist hurts).
I'm having a hard time understanding how I can best stack more DPS while maintain survivability now. I also chose to stick to SSF to force myself crafting mechanics and other parts of the game instead of just using trade.
Any tips on where my build is severely lacking and what I should be focusing on now?
