3.16 - Spectral Helix Gladiator - A10 All Pts+Labs - 3h18m08s

Spectral Helix run on gladiator to A10 with all skill points and story labs. Three deaths in the end, one to Shavronne because I did not realize I was under lightning res cap and then two tilt deaths to Trinity (after boss had died due to Maligaro dagger lifting) and Kitava (cancelling leap slam while in fire). This run focuses on getting a lot of auras and buffs rolling, so there is a fair amount of investment in mana efficiency. It was a mistake not speccing the points from fury bolts out into crimson dance once I got 2nd lab (Blood in the Eyes).

I have a bit of love/hate relationship with spectral helix. The skill is incredibly strong, but sometimes you can fail to use it properly and it feels like crap. This happens on small bosses and when your not positioned correctly. With both helix and leap slam, how you use each skill can greatly affect how effective they are. Consequently, any run using with Helix or Leap Slam can likely be improved by a fair amount by proper skill usage.

I really wanted to get this run deathless and have made a number of attempts on it since then, but unfortunately haven't been able to send one under 3h15 and deathless. At this point, I want to move onto other builds before 3.16 drops. This is a great build and is one of the strongest for story speed leveling. There is also a fair amount of customization and optimization left to be made to the tree and whats best when in story, and what is the most consistent and effective helix setup on glad. I probably went somewhat too heavy into reservation and instead should have specced more life.
