PoE Duelist, Ranger, Shadow, Hardcore builds

So, I basically exclusively play self-made builds that are usually at least somewhat off-meta. Those builds vary widely in their success and often end up failing. However, every once in a while an idea works out. This is looking to be one of those ideas. Non-Reaper bleed minions have been a bit of a "white whale" of mine.
