I want to share with you my Bleed Bow Build, which have many peices of little interactions giving in the end nice things
I cant say this bleed bow somehow much different from another builds in gameplay, except its MORE safer and you dont need to perma push all flasks, only one for anti curse
I killed all bosses, opened all content, done 36 challenges and made great way step by step improving my gear how i wanted
POB: build
The idea was about making max block bleed bow glad,
Original based on Esoro, ZiggyD and angryroleplayer,
but no one tried to make with max block so i tried myself
with glancing blow or rumi it doesnt need much currency and time
to cap without, that's tricky
so i spent hour or two in the end to figure out how Bow character can cap block
Since we are Gladiator we need only block of attacks:
The trick is how to get While at maximum endurance charges without killing mobs?You need to sacrifice 1 suffix on each ring to craft there +1 minimum endurance chargesAnd Annoint - Disciple of the Unyielding to get last end charge to hit 3 and be max block all the time
Avoid part
I figuring out few leagues how achieve such things, with this build, its easier than with others i tried
Other mechincs i put in build:
Im using few auras, but Determination take 50% of mana, but With Aul's Amulet it becomes 0% so it opens few possibilites to use watcher's combos,
Another example: if i would be a caster i could take
Coward's Legacy with aul's amulet + watcher's determination uneffected by vulnerability= 30% LL dmg
You can use dash, but flame dash is better in situations like sirus beams where you have to teleport, not getting model throw beams and then die because of debuff
and about ensnaring arrow setup, totems are fine, but in intens fights like ultimatum or bosses with aoe skills like atziri they die quickly, so i using it myself with mirage archer+gmp+maim,
in theory i could use another bow setup for ensnaring arrow changing it with X, but you dont really have much time for it, but mb mb, if so i dont know how to spent another 4 gem slots, mb decoy totem (shrugs)
Since build dont use any vaal skils, vaal molten shell nice thing to have in tough situations
Lioneye's Fall - left from marauder to convert melee bonuses to Bow
Since the build have many anti-things, i found that i have few empty slots for flasks and put Brutus Restraint for free flasks charges, i have 2 empty flask slots, so im kind of regenerating every 5 seconds 8 charges for all flasks with the Traitor timeless Keystone
according to Bex:
"If you have four flasks that aren't full, you would get one charge per flask. If you have some that are full then the charges go to the flask that needs it."
So if you more lucky than me and can craft avoid ring with mana leech, you will put another abyss jewel instead of generic like me and can change Ralakesh small pantheon on Ryslatha for another 3 flask charges
Mechanics which i didnt put in build are generic pierce, chain and fork on items, it will break Ensnaring arrow mechanic in stupid way, which triple your dmg
Item mods for example: crafted\aisling unveiled gloves mod, hunter pierce on boots and Rearguard rare vaal implicit for +1 chain
For those who wants how to craft such itemsCrafting the gear:
Getting items with 2 elevated mods actually not so hard in terms of how its random because bleed+ailmets on boots both suffixes, so you buy or craft it with maven orbs, then use awakener and it hits 100% 2 your mods, but the last suffix is random, i had empty like i wanted so i crafted there aspect of spider for another dmg/defence layer and then you reforge item with tft guys keeping suffixes
the same with gloves, its suffixes, but i made a mistake actually when i theorycrafted my gear in pob, cause when you hit awakener orb 2 elevated mods, you dont hope that third mod suffix would be great or empty and i need that suffix before for the last 20% ailment avoidance,BUTI hitted t1 dexterity and i need it anyway, so i started to seek another source of ailment avoid and can actually have it on synthesized implicit ring - 25%, yes you have to sacrifice influence for that, but you have it
Craft of avoid ring was the most boring thing, you just chaos spam for resistance you need +life+ empty suffix, thats really not different from fossils i tried firstly
BUT
the curse ring was interesting, i bought it, yes, but Vulnerability was Delve mod, so i could hit it with some exalted orb, I choosed Hunter and got +15 life on hit, which is really nice since this build cant have life on block (except small cluster One with the Shield but 50 life not much and another mod only works with shield), its like Split Arrow shooting 10 arrows, each chaining 3 times with Awak Chain gem so 10x4= 40 hits x 15= 600 life on hit, if my math not correct, i can edit it, anyway its great sustain since Leech dont gives much, our attacks not so big.
Belt i made myself with life+elemental fossils, warlord reduce crit dmg mod i hitted on 4 try of exalted orb
Chest i bought and multicrafted, nothing really to say, but its not hard to get, potentially there is can be socketed attacks -mana cost, +1 to max ele resists and Life
Elder Bow i made myself with spamming Contempt essences, actually it wasnt super random, you can get t2 bleed mod in 30 essences im sure and you will be fine.I tried to make better bow with elder bleed mod+ generic phys dmg multi but it turned out too much randomandbefore quiting i spent many currency just for the experiment if i would fracture t1 inc phys merciless, how more dmg it would be, random wasnt on my side, 6 tries i fractured garbage so only elder bow, but POB saying 30% more dmg since bigger bleed hit, but we woudnt know
In the end i can say it was fun path of exile bleeding all content and be much tankier than many bow builds, but Volatile dead still can kill you(
