PoE Gladiator, Melee, Delve builds

- PoB This is fairly simple build, i made it just because i really want to play Vaal EQ, but don't want to miss 87/87 block. Gear is basic stuff, Jack the Axe, cheap rings and belt, rest is just life and resists. With Ryslatha and Circle of Guilt rings (just %phys damage), its dps goes from 2.5 to 3.7m dps. Its not that fast early but you can add more speed with better gear. - Varunastra version, does 300k more dps (2.8m). Has some benefits: - Frenzy on hit sword mastery. - Ability to use Tempes Rising boo

EQ lets you preload damage a tad which is nice in delve, you always have onslaught+challenger charges so you should be fast and damage is decent. Im personally debating between this and champ shockwave cyc

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

Pastebin: Write up: This is my last build of the league and a continuation of my endless delve character and ideas I wanted to work on after the event. I was really keen on running crit for bleeds and using staffs instead of the usual axes or bow builds that are quite popular on the ladder. The damage on this character is surprisingly huge considering that if it is scaled down with a budget version it'll do equally well with a budget of 20ex. A big reason for this is that there's absolutely no one doing crit staffs for a
