The Chieftain is an Ascendancy class for Marauders.

Overview

The Chieftain has a mixture of defensive passives alongside some offensive ones. With Tasalio, Cleansing Water and Valako, Storm's Embrace, they can gain substantial bonuses to cold and lighting resistances just by investing on fire resistance. If they decide to utilize totems, Arohongui, Moon's Presence lets their totems taunt enemies to both redirect enemies and heal you. Furthermore, the minor passives grant a sizable amount of life regeneration, which is an added bonus to their strong life sustain. The class also offers support to fire damage builds, strike and slam skills, and strength stacking.
