PoE Art of the Gladiator builds

Hi exiles, I've been on a long holiday basically since league-start, and thus have only been able to play pob. I've put together what I think is a solid SSF build plan using oni-goroshi on berserker. This build is essentially just a poor-man's voidforge build, but I think it is still extremely strong considering the entry costs. The main skill is perforate, which adds a ton of flat phys to benefit from Oni-Goroshi's 123% phys as added fire. We are also getting flat phys from bloodthirst and scaling between 9-10k life using bloodmagic. The degen is countered by some life regen and 3k life lee

PoB for context: Up to about 20 div now and need to decide whether to invest further into EA or pivot. I like the speedy map clear of EA and bossing feels really safe since I just place totems and dodge around. That said I don't love the damage delay on EA and it can sometimes feel a bit clunky. I've been eyeing impending doom and also considering EK ignite or vortex ignite but I'm not really sure if these would really be improvements over my current state. I don't want to do a respec into a build that can't complete the content I'

If you are running an Ice Crash Hollow Palm Raider, please get the Dancing Dervish sword and the Graceful Assault passive node. The node gives you (for 3 passive points): 60% increased effect of Onslaught, 50% increased armour and 50% increased evasion (during Onslaught). When Dancing Dervish manifests (through rampage on hit) it is removed from your weapon slots, granting you Onslaught (and Unencumbered) for as long as they are manifested. The Onslaught effect isn't shown on the item description, or in the tooltip, only in the POE wiki and Path of Building. I'm using this on I

I currently have a level 87 champion based on wand (power siphon) with impale, also i'm running low life. The boss dps with power siphon is decent, about 2 millions DPS. While mobs dips with kinetic blast not so much. The other problem i have is that i die prettly easly, i'm currently running T12-13-14 maps. I already have some decent stuffs as: Crit armor 400DPS wand Impossible escape Watcher's eye but it doesn't seem enought. Also, I can't really find any similar build to copy Do you have any tip to imporve this build? my budget is about 10 divines Pastebin Link : [

Suggest if you’re paying EA Ballista you check with the update. I’m down from 20 to 16 fuses so need to sort my build! Build for reference: Edit: looks like i fixed it. 2 new AS jewels and swapped Skitter Bots for Malevolence. Need to test it later. Up to 18M DPS.

Hi Exiles This build has gone from volc. fissure totems leaguestart > conc. path totems to now this. Totems were fun for both builds, but now I want something that can speed run bosses/sanctums/harbingers and decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something unusual. I failed, like, every single sanctum on this melee build (I was the player making fun of people for failing sanctums when on my totems) but now with enough DPS Sanctums are easier now than they were on totems. The build is fun. I've never played a build where the defenses were to just kill everything before it kills yo

New and better POB: Edit: After subsequent testing upon advice given by a couple of you in the thread I have made adjustments to the build. Master of Metal has been dropped and I've picked up First to Strike and Last to Fall. Adrenaline is procced with a dual midnight bargain swap. + impale count DOES NOT work with traps. Old and apparently fucked POB (its the POB shown in the video but it's also shittier):

The build : Pretty happy how this turned out. Effectively being the hipster that I am I can't just take Berserker Rage Vortex without wanting to do at least something new and the Voidforge made it easy as am sure most people did it. I did decide to go with Ascendant mainly cause there were some interesting synergies that make it hard for the Berserker to do that looked fun to optimize even if you don't get to abuse the Berserker's More ascendancy traits. Budget at the moment is around 10\~ div What do we have going for us?
