PoE Gladiator, League Starter builds

Current version for future reference: 3.18 Tried to set as much Uniques as possible so it's straightforward and easier for anyone to build it. With some tweaks it can be over 10.000.000 if you reach max rage (110). PoB: &x200B; "Guide" The passives path is straightforward at the beginning, then I suggest to pick Blade of Cunning, then the right +30Int (at this point you should get HoP skill), then Dismembering. Fom now on it's up to you to prioritise damage or sustain depending on the items y

I don't think lacerate overall is optimal but I think I have pretty decent results with what I have. 1.2m dps against sirus with poop gear for league start, 4.9k hp and 60% block. 2.5m dps against sirus with a bit of investment in uniques. (although I lose around 400 life) I would love if anybody would tell me how to reach an even higher ceiling (+3m dps) or just any sort of improvement for the build, Im not the best at pathing and I am learning to craft items.

Pssst exile, have too many of them exults? Want some dank meme builds? I got you covered fam. If you are anything like me and hate meta builds, like getting out of your way to test some dumb ideas and see how far can you push them to hopefully polish a turd into a diamond then say no more. I have been pushing the Couric limits and hoarding my meme builds, but now I'd like to share the extra spicy nuggets with you guys. &x200B; My top 5 meme builds for 3.17: 1. Riposte Hollow Palm Gladiator (The Slap) (POB: 2. Cyclone

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------CHEAT SHEET--------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHIELDS: Shields are shown with specific values to show damage at those armor levels. Uniques are shown with mid-roll modifiers unless the uniques are very cheap (max attributes Carnage Heart). LEVELLING: Levelling trees are general recommendations. If you feel squishy or feel like your damage sucks, pick up damage/life nodes as needed. Make sure to keep upgrading your weapon with t

Howdy folks. I've been tooling around with Energy Blade, spectral helix, crit, and gladiator, I cobbled together something moderately ok. As PoB'd it shouldn't be too outrageously expensive to build on leaguestart. It will also use the new Tempest Shield for +25% spellblock so I left some unreserved mana for it. The PoB What it does ok 3-4m boss damage if you sit on them and cast. Moderate ~5k ehp Leeches both life and ES Decent block and Evasion What it does bad Clearspeed is garbage. Maybe flickerstrike/multistrike gemswap because that new sword mas

-------------------------------------------------------- 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. [
