I recently have been leveling up and gearing my warcry puncture/split arrow bleed gladiator, i had a few people ask me about how my build was working out. figured i might as well make a video and post some details for the build here.

heres my pob above, its fully configured and pretty much shows the build fully buffed. as a disclaimer this is how my build will look at lvl 95, in the video and at the moment im only lvl 86. ive also included a few items in the pob that i expect to eventually buy, but dont necessarily have yet in the video. though those items are mostly just dps improvements. the core of the build is showcased in the video. so far ive spent about 22 ex on the build, ~10 of which had to be borrowed, so i wouldnt call this a budget build. however, im getting good mileage out of it so far and its still much cheaper than some of the meta builds in general. i think you could replicate this build mostly cheaply with good jewel and fossil crafting rng (which i did not get good luck with) and once maloneys price falls.. the maloneys is really the expensive item here.

​

the core items to this build would be 3 large cluster jewels with 2 jewel sockets and 6x cry wolf medium cluster jewels. the large jewels i equipped have 2 jewel sockets, furious assault, iron breaker, and master the fundamentals. you can choose w.e suits you however i felt satisfied with these large jewels based on the jewels i saw other puncture gladiator builds using. the medium jewels really just need cry wolf and a jewel socket on them, taking one with mob mentality isnt such a bad idea. i ended up going for 5 crywolf/rattling bellow medium jewels, and 1 mobmentality,crywolf medium jewel.

if you want to try this build out but dont have the jewels yet, i strongly suggest watching ziggyd's recent build guide video on his snipe/puncture gladiator. the gearing for his character is nearly the same- and he also goes over how to self craft the majority of the gear you might want on this character. his tree also doesnt have any mandatory jewels. in my pob i borrowed his Assailum helm that he manually edited to account for snipe, as pob doesnt support it yet.

besides the jewels, youre going to want a high pdps elder bow with the mod "60% chance to deal 100% more damage with bleeds with this weapon" this mod is essential for the build to have any real boss killing power. luckily you can self craft this pretty easily with fossils. just keep in mind you want to focus on that mod, high flat physical damage and % physical damage,quality, and damage over time multiplier where possible. attack speed is just a slight quality of life stat and doesnt reflect the builds real damage, and crit is entirely useless here since the build is RT (0% crit chance in exchange for hits can't be evaded)

this is my first time posting, please be patient with me. if anyone has a question about the build, ill do my best to answer it. hopefully i post this correctly, this took my quite a bit of time haha.

edit: had to change the pob, i changed some of the skill gems to improve QoL and improve boss killing setup.
