Retaliate Against ALL! - Retaliate Gladiator - Zero To Hero Beginner Build Guide - Path of Exile

>>> WEBSITE: https://heavyheals.com/ <<< GEAR: Mandatory Unique items first (links are with higher numbers. Remove the numbers in "show filters" to get cheaper variants): Weapon: To start, any Jack, The Axe, then as build progresses and currency investment fits in, get as much physical damage on it as possible and 35% to DoT Multiplier for bleeding (mandatory) https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/6zLKOLQ2sG Shield: Any shield to start with life and Armour, later on upgrade to ANY Foulborn The Surrender, later upgrade to the same shield but with more Armour and Life gain on block! https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/YpqbM2mDcY Ring: Any Venopuncture ring to start and then upgrade to 60% increased damage with Bleeding one AND on that one add Abrasive Catalysts to increase damage with bleeding to 72%. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/BgQKLpwQh8 Boots: The Tempest Rising, any to start, later on upgrade to as much "damaging ailments deal damage x% faster" as you can afford. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/BgQKLdwXf8 Belt: Meginord's Girdle at first until you can get a high roll on "x% more maximum physical attack damage" Ryslatha's coil. I suggest going for 40% and then adding Abrasive Catalysts to hit 48%. "Less minimum" doesn't matter for this build as we spam Eviscerate A LOT. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/EBdEkWOZH5 (Ryslatha's Coil) Amulet: Any amulet with life + resistances to start with (that fills attributes as well!) and then upgrade to Aul's Uprising with "Pride has no reservation" modifier! This is mandatory, as we boost Pride aura effect even more later! https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/5n3krydDfa ANOINT: No Forgiveness - 20% chance for retaliation skills to remain usable and not consume a cooldown use (Prismatic, Black & Golden Oil) Jewels: Forbidden Flesh & Flame (First to Strike, Last To Fall) is a cheap defensive layer https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/veXar8LzCE & https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/5n27RjmDfa The Light of Meaning (Passive Skills in radius also grant 6% increased Physical Damage) is expensive but gives A LOT of damage https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/lgRdkVOwsV Watcher's Eye with "Non-Channelling Skills have -x to total mana cost while affected by Clarity" & "x% Chance to deal double damage while using Pride" is MANDATORY, third mod "Unaffected by poison while affected by Malevolence" is a nice bonus to remove Poison ailment. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/glJQa7BgiQ (2 mod) Impossible escape with "Passive skills in radius of GLANCING BLOWS..." is Mandatory for extra life & damage nodes. Used together with Elegant Hubris! https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/PPoglzLMhL Elegant Hubris (31400 coins to commemorate Caspiro) is a great option to get extra damage from Impossible escape & remove attributes from tree. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/op7Br5OKUl (do not change the number of this one, it should be readily available. If not, refer to my Timeless Jewel calc guide here: https://youtu.be/CJlpgiZji2M?si=h9sYH7rHwGWq7ANM&t=236 ) Flask: Replica Witchfire Brew with "Used when you hit a Rare or Unique enemy" enchant is to apply Vulnerability curse >>> WEBSITE: https://heavyheals.com/ <<< Rare Gear (Crafted): Helmet: Item level 84 Haunted Bascinet with "+30% to Chaos Resistance" (or more if you can afford!) + Deafening Essence of Loathing (Mana reservation Efficiency) Until you get T1 to any resistance. Apply Lesser Eldritch Ember and Eldritch Chaos orb and Exalted orbs until you get as much life and Armour/Evasion as you are satisfied with. Once done, Implicits are "Mana reservation Efficiency" from Eater (Ichors) and "Reduced mana cost of attacks" from Searing (ember). https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/9z5qkmZRSK Body: Start with ilvl 86 Conquest Lamellar with at least "+175 to maximum life" fracture OR "101%+ increased armour and evasion rating". Roll with Deafening Essence of Loathing until you hit 2x T1 to elemental resistances. For prefixes, follow the helmet craft and you want as much life and as much armour/evasion as you can get. If you have an open bench craft, craft %max life & %max mana. Implicits: Searing: Effect of non-curse auras, Eater: Determination/Pride aura eff https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/jW9eOodZhX (life fracture 175+) https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/BgQKy9wWi8 (armour and evasion fracture 101%+) Gloves: Don't bother crafting, buy: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/JByk4l9RFl | Implicits: Searing: Phys damage over time multi, Eater: Phys damage leeched as life Ring: Amethyst ring with elemental resistance, chaos resistance, life & empty prefix modifier to craft "Non-channelling skills have -7 to total mana cost". I suggest buying this one. Crafting this ring is a drag. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mirage/EBdEDV24f5 [If you roll chaos res on chest/helmet, you can swap to elemental resistance on ring and vice versa!] IF YOU WANT TO SWAP ELEMENTAL RESISTANCES FROM ONE TO ANOTHER, USE HORTICRAFTING BENCH TO DO SO!!!
