My iteration of the Shield Crush Gladiator. The inspiration for numerous parts of the build was taken by various theory-crafter builds in this subreddit and a few characters in the site, poe ninja. Im posting this just to inspire fellow theory crafters and show a build they might like playing. Feel free to ask any questions about the build and I would be happy to answer. PoB Link:

Okay so this build kind of originated off of one of my favorite unique swords Dreadbeak. The idea is to boost base damage with bloodthirst and reserve exactly or slightly above 50% of life for permanent low life. Now you may say, but adrenaline can be abused so easily if you just reserve at 51%, and I'll say 6 auras/buffs with very good aura effect. Instead of creating a gigantic block of text I'll try to note all the advantages with formatting I'm not used to. Exactly or close to 50% reservation using a herald of purity and a high level vita

STEP BY STEP LEVELLING: Act 1: Buy Frost Blades from Nessa after you kill Hillock. We're going to use Frost Blades for clear and Double Strike for single targets. Buy a Paua Amulet for mana regeneration(we will need this until we get Life and Mana Leech on passive tree) and also craft movement speed boots as soon as you can. Pick up 3-colored items and sell them for chromatic orbs for first 2-3 acts. We will need them since we change skills through levelling. Keep on upgrading mana flasks especially until Act 6, we will be using them frequently. Also Magic weapon with added Physical Damage

Trying to put together an SST Bleed Glad build. Updated PoB: The intent is to play on SSF. On the 'Items' tab, I just have a shield equipped for the skill DPS to calculate, however, I've included a Week 1-2 SSF potential gear set that can be equipped to project where I might be in a few weeks. Also went full-in on 'Spirit Void' to hopefully address mana issues. Curious if anyone has any suggestions, better pathing ideas for the tree, improvements, etc. I normally don't make my own builds ;) Thanks!

-------------------------------------------------------- FOREWORD AND NOTES: This build has been adjusted for the great nerfening of builds from the 3.15 patch notes. The bad news is that this build lost a lot of damage, but the good news is that we get multistrike with Shield Charge and it should make this skill good enough. I am currently assuming that Shield Crush will have the same bonus damages apply as Shield Charge, in which it got changed to 4 to 6 from 3 to 4. It is also possible that Shield Crush will have the same bonus damages as Spectral Shield Throw, in which that got changed

Heyo, So i've been working on a shield charge/shield crush Glad making use of bleed and challenger charge nodes for league start. I got to work on this after reading a few other posts regarding this skill and thought I would throw my pob in to the mix for some optimization from the community! &x200B; After seeing " While reviewing this skill, we've made changes to all skills that deal damage based on Shield Defences, greatly boosting their damage. " I am hopeful these buffs were enough to offset the nerfs to melee phys and brutality(both of which this build uses) The build is pretty

Okay, I know there's been quite a few shield crush build theories and discussions recently on this sub. But I've put together a decently geared character on PoB using Shield Charge as an analog and it's actually looking really strong despite lacking the ability to use a strong MH weapon with the good bleed mods you'd find on "normal" bleed builds. &x200B; I made the shield 2500 armour, which I think is perfectly achievable via Deafening Dread essence crafting. And the tree is level 98, which to me is fine because its someth

Trying to figure out initial tree for shield crush. Maybe with FB and mix in reckoning for extra dps but dunno if worth, most likely use shaper mace or something for extra damage and ignore counter skills. Pretty unsure about gearing but this one should be extremely tanky one and flexible to respect into more dps etc. What I tried: Max out survivability Pay attention to attack speed Movement Leech Max block Max fortify AoE as much as possible What I'm unsure: DPS Bleed versus impale. Easy to respec tho. This is impale. [

I'm thinking about trying something along the lines of the following for spectral helix - Have a feeling I might regret this because the clear looks like it's going to be clunky (I gave up on league start reap half way through leveling last league), but here are my thoughts: Max block will be nice this league with all of the defensive losses from flasks. It also helps with spectral helix, since you need to jump into packs and wait for the blades to spin. Spectral helix has good damage scaling at 160% (vs 100% on spectral throw). It should be especially good

-------------------------------------------------------- FOREWORD AND NOTES: This is a tweaked build from u/Spandauer2129 because I got bored and wanted to see if it was league start viable. Barring Patch Notes nerfing everything to the ground, I think this is a decent starter. This build was made on 7/17 BEFORE Patch notes. If this is popular enough, I will make better versions and see how far I can push it. I plan on making adjustments to the build once patch notes hit and we get the 3.15 passive tree. This build is intended for easy to get gear that doesn't require a lot of resources or
