[3.19] Champion Bleed Bladestorm - Bleed 'Em & Run - 10-15++ Million DPS

In this video, I showcase a more boss focused version of the Gladiator Bleed Bladestorm build I made a week ago.

Some changes I made to the build is that I got rid of Swift Affliction and some faster bleed notables on the "Uber" version of the builds because Uber bosses are notoriously bad for melee builds since you have to run around and dodge all the time, thus while POB may say you are doing more damage with faster bleed nodes, if your 8 bleeds fall off at any point, it is a DPS loss. Additionally, with longer bleeds, you are able to apply more bigger bleeds to overwrite your smaller bleeds.

I switched ascendancies from Gladiator to Champion for the permanent fortify buff since fortify is extremely hard to keep up with deadly ailments in our setup. Also, Champion's Adrenaline HP proc is a nice life saver at certain points.

The downside of going Champion is that our map clear is worse because we no longer have 100% chance to bleed while in Sand Stance. We lost some attack speed from Challenger Charges, which makes mapping less smooth since you hit slower and leap slam slower. Lastly, we dropped Blood and Sand resulting in less AOE.

The reason I run a 6L Vengeance in my body armour is mainly because I think totems are terrible in that they die constantly and the bosses move away from them. Also, placing them taking up time you could just be using Bladestorm on them. A 6L Vengeance provides a moderate amount of damage on single target (assuming you don't have 8 large bleeds from bladestorm already running), but I mainly use it for a smoother mapping to kill white/blue mobs. That is why I run Pulverize in the 6L for more instant damage rather than running another deadly ailments for a more bleed focused setup.

Yes, I did kill all the Ubers without failing on this Champion Bleed Bladestorm build, but plan on dying a good amount on some fights as this build still can't face tank most abilities even with the Champion switch. (No Max Res, Mageblood, or Spell Suppression)

Conclusion: Play Gladiator if you plan on doing all normal bosses and mainly mapping. Play Champion if you plan on doing some/all Ubers and mainly bossing.

Note: In the POBs, I edited the Ryslatha's Coil to more accurate calculate the actual bleed DPS of the builds since POB calculates bleeds by averages, but we are able to hit the target 24x ish within a bleed window thus Crimson Dance takes the best 8 bleeds of those 24 hits.
