Final POB: https://pobb.in/QK2UneXrGGqs

(I was 85 in the video so the build will be slightly tankier and do a lot more dmg if I kept leveling)

In what will be my final build of the league, I present my Swordstorm/Crushing Fist Glad. The idea came up while playing my Divine Retribution Glad. I used Glacial Shield Swipe to get more uptime on DR with the chance to make another Retaliation skill useable when you use a Retaliation skill. I found it give a ton of uptime on both skills, so I thought it'd be neat to scale two different ones. Well I wanted to try out Swordstorm, so the only other option was Crushing Fist but they both scaled well with crit and impale.

Using a high physical sword + pardoxica made sense to me. Swordstorm uses both weapons, so Paradoxica makes it so all hits deal double damage. That makes stacking added physical damage strong. Enter Master of Metal from Champion. With additional hits with each impale (MoM, Watcher's Eye, Brutal Skewering), it adds a ton of added phys.

The new Rage adds a lot of the value to the build as attack speed isn't as needed as an attack build. It's also right near where we want to put points in the passive tree , so we end up with 55 max rage. This is easy to get with Admiral's Arrogance. Speaking of, the +3 lvls it gives to my damage skills is also massive. Crushing Fist gets around 400% additional effectiveness and close to 50% per swordstorm hit.

The last little neat thing I want to mention is the use of a Brutal Restraint with Nasima. The keystone Second Sight gives you 25% MORE melle crit, but makes you permanently blind. However, Retaliation skills cannot be evaded so it completely ignores the downsides.

Thanks for checking my build out, sorry for rambling in the video. I'm not really trying to be a content creator so I don't put too much effort into these videos, but I enjoy sharing the silly ideas I come up with! See you all in 3.26 and/or PoE2 early access!
