You have a set of great info there Tri, cool to see you playing Glad as well. I would recommend to use Shield Charge instead of Leap Slam tho - it will be faster in most cases especially paired with Frostblink for Gaps. I would also repick Cruelty since it is harder to maintain 100% uptime but Fortify (for def) or Swift Affliction (for DPS) would provide better results. Cheers my friend!
this is a really great video : if i do make a suggestion , i liked the idea of not using jagged technique but rather using venopuncture and using tempest rising gave better results , you do lose out on a boots and ring slot since youre using uniques but imo i find the trade off is fine . you can remove the point from jagged technique and put it somewhere else then and can put in points in war of attrition which combined with your tankiness just makes things feel much better especially if youre someone new
really solid vid man, picked up a bunch of good tips for my dual wield lacerate gladiator! :D still gonna stick with dual wield for now, trying to make it work with rigwald's contempt + an elder influenced "50% more bleed damage" 600 dps axe, crimson dance does work with dual wield when you build for it, totally melts bosses, and i find the defense are ok, only essentially losing out on the shield unique abilities like -50% crit dam taken or the life on block you mentioned. Def swapping over to get even more spell suppression, already had entrench, and around 35%, but more is just better, can rework helm/ chest/ gloves/ boots easily enough!
This is a really good build. Recommend it to a lot of people, the only thing I'm not a fan off is not being able to have a bleed from myself and then a bleed from my party member. Otherwise I'd still be all over this! Was the by far one of the smoothest builds I've played.
The one thing that I hate with my glad bleed Build is the cost of lacerate of hemmorage gem..... If I knew it will cost 85/90c now I probably wouldn't have picked this build
This was my league starter aswell, now in progress of swapping to my second build after finishing the feared. I played lacerate of haemorrhage supported by eviscerate for screen clear (awesome for expedition and fortifying). I skipped spell suppression with my 7 endurance charges and 7k life and it felt great! 7th endurance from a kaom's sign im still wearing
6:26 Or just use the tempest rising boots which are cheap if you aren't going for the highest rolls, so you can have war of attrition and all bleedings aggravated.
Those were some incredibly helpful tips. Spell suppression and Blood Magic in particular have made endgame mapping feel much smoother. Armor really isn't cutting it early, and the mana costs for attack skills are way too high to mitigate even with triple Elreon crafts on jewelry. Also those intros are getting out of hand, keep them coming 😁
spell suppression is arguably the strongest defensive layer that exists in PoE , even uber-tanky builds that have 90/90/90/80 will still die to some uber bosses without it ; ofc you can always 'just' build 20k+ ES/life and get CI but then we're talking about mirror-tier investing ; afaik Atziri's flameblast is the single hardest hitting enemy ingame and without 100 spell suppression it can 1shot most builds ; ofc there is also the Jugg/4thVow/DivFlesh route but that's very specific and spell suppression is something that anyone/everyone can get
I just played for the first time and finished the campaign. It's crazy that I can finish the campaign and not understand 95% of what you said in this video lol this game is huge.
I've seen everyone going on and on about spell suppress but I'm running 90% spell block and 83% elemental resists (+2 on shield, Sanctified anoint and the rest from the tree) and I'm comfortably running T17s.
Played Lacerate Glad as my league starter, except I didn't go the 1h+Shield route, I went dual wield with Rigwald's Command. Much, much higher DPS than 1h+Shield, but definitely needs more investment to really ramp up. I don't use Blood Magic. Cannibalistic Rite and reduced mana cost on helm and jewelry with some mana leech fixes it. You can go Malevolence for pure damage or Herald of Purity and Flesh and Stone for a mix of both. But the real reason benefit of going Blood Magic is for tinctures. Blood Sap Tincture with t1 DoT Multi boosts my damage by at least 40% when I pop it. I also tried Retaliation skills too. The base damage on them is good enough that a 3/4 link can kill white mobs. I only have Maim + Fortify on Bladestorm for utility. I also have Vengeful Cry, and Prepared Response can sometimes let you use it without taking a savage hit. That's why I also use Crushing Fist. Flow of Battle on the bottom left will solve rage gen FOR mapping, but I eventually switched my gloves to Admiral's Arrogance. Not an autopilot kind of build, but if you can manage to have Vengeful Cry, Berserk, and your tincture up it'll double your DPS. Only downside is it's hard to cap res (I don't have capped chaos res) and no spell suppression. I'm using a Ward helmet which does help against oneshots in ways that's hard for me to notice.
I did a bleed gladiator with the new retaliate skills as "ultimate" abilites. Both evicerate and the warcry that gives rage and the pops when I evicerate feel amazing
I was doing this but swapped to something akin to gorathas retaliate build and once you get used to it the offensive problems disappear as well as being nigh unkilable, you don't have to use blood magic either , bleed becomes more of a support and lucky block ascendancy is incredible you basically never get hit and constantly trigger retaliate skills.
Those explosions looks so satisfying, same as any ground slam, I gotta try any of these this league but still I couldn't decide which one will be, sadly because this league looks so good
@@deceiver444 it's mainly supplementary damage for bosses and tough rares. When you don't need it, turn it off. Life leech and other sources of recovery can definitely help with uptime though.
jack the axe and deresos courage has been suprisingly nice, went war of atrition AND jagged technique. Will respec after I get a life on block sheild. Got a silly build planned. powersiphon, with perfect agony. so easy with new wands to hit 100% crit about 20% less damage than lacerate gladiator, but its powersiphon with bleed pop so that will be fun. Also wand enchant is busted, and flask charges on crit is 100% uptime on ailment imunity.
Idk what to do anymore when I was dualist I used 2 hand swords because it did a lot of dmg but know that I’m gladiator everyone says use shields but my whole skill tree is based on 2h damage
Great points, however I disagree with the mana one, Spirit of War (mana cluster next to the Duelist exit area and a -7 craft on an amulet has been more than enough for me to deal with mana, and you aslo have the hability to use a tincture with this which givies you between 60-100% more damage.
Very newb here. Only about 250 total played over years and years. Taking this season to get reacquainted with the game and following bleed lacerate build guide. So far so good at level 62. Yeah I know, like I said newb and have a busy life. Anyhow, can you do a video or recommend a resource which explaines all the different seasonal contents over the years. Nothing super in depth but like an overview to what they are and what makes them good for what rewards? I am planning on just playing poe2 when it hits early access so trying to get myself ready. Thanks!
Cleared t17 with lacerate glad without spell suppression. 65% lucky spell block + 3-5 endurance charges is more than enough for most of the content. Having spell suppression ofc better but getting it is really hard (no supression on the tree + you need lots of other staff like chaos res and etc.)
I was able to finish t16s and get all watchstones by doing minimal upgrades as i went with lacerate glad. Now im doing 8m dps with bleed and have around 20k phys and 50k ele max hit. Not super impressive but the build is fine. Definitely not the best build out there but i think its pretty fun.
Since it depends a bit on the exact build and gear, the best way is to load your character up in PoB (you can import from your account as long as it's set to "public" in your profile settings). You can then copy & paste the axe into PoB (Ctrl + C while hovering over the item in game) and see if it would be an upgrade.
@@XxZarionxX I mean, is hard to know because also that axe have an aura, so, I really don't know when the axe+aura is better than a well rolled reaver axe
I am playing a Bleed Gladiator this league!!! :) but I keep changing my mind about what skills to use. I hope from Bladestorm (blood) and Double Strike, to Cyclone + Bladestorm (Sand) and Double Strike. Cyclone w Sand Bladestorm gives me the movement + killing that I need as opposed to Blood Bladestorm where it stays in place... my Double Strike really thrashes the competition too. I need to figure out some better auras to use, as I only have like 10% of my mana bar to use (though it is way more than enough and I never run out)
I have a reaver axe that droped with 196% phys damage on it. All the other stats suck tho…. Still scared to try to improve it tho. Does the same as yours with the flat phys i put on it at the bench.
I went Berserker Rage Vortex and its far more manageable to maintain rage. However the ambitious build is about to start and its a Vigilant strike Juggernaut with Willowgift.
I don't think it's overrated. I used it for a while, It's a tradeoff. Your overall power scaling is less, but it simply has less friction and convenience to play on low to mid budget. And the mana leech near Duelist is too much of a point investment, I think. Cluster with Fuel the Fight is better imo.
I have a question. There's a mastery in the passive tree that does 40% more physical damage with attacks that cost life instead of mana. If I have now skilled blood magic, does the node also apply to Lacerate?
Nice vid! For me personally, lacerate feels like a mediocre clear skill ( not zoomy enough, too small and jank), so i am currently using a 4l ground slam of earthshaking as my main clear skill with lacerate there to burst down rares/map bosses. So i shield charge to a pack, leap slam the pack and lacerate any survivors.
honestly, the lack of drops in maps this league (possibly due to lack of quant) feels really bad (and I know GGG said they want scarabs to replace quant but what good are they when they hardly drop in the first place)
started this game couple of days ago, im in map 5 campain , i dont understand nothing of what you say , for example-what is blood magic? Your video is for pro players?
Yes, this is a quite advanced video. A more approachable video about the same build can be found by searching youtube for "Bleed is BACK!! - Lacerate Gladiator Leaguestarter [PoE 3.25]". The exact same passive tree, just using Sunder instead of Lacerate, also works fine and is even better in my opinion. As someone else said: in the skill tree there's a small search bar on the top right. If you search for blood magic there (and zoom out a bit), you'll find a node blinking. That node is blood magic.
I agree with most of this but jagged techniques is kind of a waste late game. There are so many ways to get reliable aggravated bleed effects though eldritch crafting and masteries. Or just use tempest boots and chill with auto cold snap and creeping frost. Frees up a class nice which you can then take was of attrition and have the best of both worlds!
svalinn with block nodes, max armor is actually really good, i can stand in a 16 and not die, so armor is still good. my dps is around 2,5m its a fun and different build for sure
lots of fast conclusions here. mana can be made work, and you can run pride even. also dual wield is much stronger then shield, can go dual strike ambi and even use a high speed claw as offhand. can go rigwalds and pirate gloves for rage. no difference in max block dual wield vs shield. shield is only there for resi. as the armor there is useless, cause phys reduction is maxed out with endurance charges anyway.
I'm only 50divs into my bleed glad kinda did it my own way had 4 voidstones on day 4 and my atlas has been finished. Primarily farming t17 s hard af. Blood magic IS NOT THE WAY. Get %reduced attack cost and a mana mastery node with % recoup mana and infinitely sustain ur mana!
I'm using Ziz's SST bleed Gladiator and these tips were quite useful. For single target get Shield Crush and shield bash for movement with Frost dash, just make u have the best shield u can get couse it detirmines the damage, not the weapon. The new Retaliation skills are also very powerful, especially Evicerate and Crushing Fist, u can use them side by side wich is useful since u block alot. I'm doing full armor and i'm doing alright but might switch to a hybrid build to see if it makes much off a difference.
@@zahlanzi A 4 link fits best,linked with Brutality,melee phys damage and Multistrike. should't be to hard to make place for in your boots or gloves. Most inportant is to have a shield with high armour/evasion(no ES) since it is what gives u damage, but considering how good the crafting and loot methods this league it should't be to hard to get.
I clear my mobs with shield charge (shield charge + Brutality + melee Phys. Dmg - all Qual 20%) and only use Lacerate of Hemorrhage for Single targets. Shield charge through mobs and they explode instantly
I am somewhat impressed with this build, or at least one similar. I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing, but as a league starter, you could do much worse
I put hatred on my gladiator, Cold slow enemies and it feel great. I remove the bleed part, only on Eviscerate now I can bleed cause for my small attack it wan't great and Eviscerate auto bleed. I also max out Rage cause Axe give rage and the Warcry give rage, so max out rage was for me.
this looks so boring and so weak, its like your literally run around with your little wand like harry potter and try to "pop", your enemies, beyond pathetic
Instead of blood magic i would get lifetap as one link, pride/malevolence+blood and sand+autoexert battlemages cry vulnerability more than makes up for the damage The new svalinn shield is amazing, autocast frostbomb and frees up your ascendancy. Jagged technique + war attrition is way better than 10% block chance if you're already lucky thanks to svalinn
@@Logined85 lol 'for nothing' to you is 25-30% more damage for everyone else. it's literally a socket and skill point away for a gigantic dps increase, svallin also frees up an ascendancy slot

Blood magic is overrated. The mana leech node right at the duelist starting zone is more than enough.

Pride(E.Blessing) is far superior than Vitality
You can have both!
Pride only? Bored
this looks so boring and so weak, its like your literally run around with your little wand like harry potter and try to "pop", your enemies, beyond pathetic
LMAO
Instead of blood magic i would get lifetap as one link, pride/malevolence+blood and sand+autoexert battlemages cry vulnerability more than makes up for the damage
The new svalinn shield is amazing, autocast frostbomb and frees up your ascendancy. Jagged technique + war attrition is way better than 10% block chance if you're already lucky thanks to svalinn
Except this is way too mich fuss for nothing but nearly the same result.
@@Logined85 lol 'for nothing' to you is 25-30% more damage for everyone else. it's literally a socket and skill point away for a gigantic dps increase, svallin also frees up an ascendancy slot
no this is don't.....
