Nyoha's Notes

Here is the finalized video description with your Path of Building link slotted in.

Path of Building (PoB): https://pobb.in/XZ8ezuKx4Sqi

This Gladiator Divine Retribution build hits 200M+ DPS and 1M+ EHP on a ~200 Divine budget, combining massive single-target boss deletion with Cast When Stunned (CWS) lazy mapping. Inspired by a 20-Divine budget setup, this iteration pushes the ceiling with Mageblood and screen-wide auto-clearing.

Core Build Mechanics:

The Engine: Divine Retribution scaled through Doryani’s Prototype. We use the Runegraph of Time and Gladiator Ascendancy for a ~50% chance to not consume retaliation cooldowns, while Pact of Beidat ramps up single-target hits (23-30 strikes per cast).

Lazy Mapping (CWS): Cast When Stunned triggers Penance Brand of Conduction and Shock Nova to instantly wipe monster packs while you simply run through the map.

Defensive Layers: To counter Doryani's deadly negative Lightning Resistance, the build uses 4x Hunter-influenced items to trigger the Bound by Destiny mechanic, converting all elemental damage taken into Fire and Chaos. Mageblood provides the high maximum Fire Resistance needed to tank the conversion.

The Greed Factor: Righteous Fire is toggled on for maximum spell damage output, though turning it off makes Uber bossing much safer against ground degens.

Let me know in the comments how you would improve the defenses, or if you are running a different variation like a life-stacking setup!
