this is my 3rd league on the game, and i just found out about ur channel while trying to find a duelist build, and bro thank god i found ur channel, the way u gjve info's and the step by step guidance u'r doing, is a huge help for a beginner like me, keep it up! subbed and thanks a lot for ur time and effort!!
Thank you for your content! Loved already your Last Epoch Build Guides. Its nice to have finally someone with some different approaches to popular builds. With your guides you really can play from start to end! With other creators you always just have a starter guide and then on day 3 they already show the supper juiced version that will not be accessible in the first few weeks for casual players. Keep the content up!
Thank you very much man, I farm a lot but try not to upgrade everything at once and go there step by step so it will be easier to follow. Stay tuned for more!
Awesome stuff mate! Some of these changes, I was thinking of as well as i was playing this build - like i was asking myself 'why aren't we taking wicked blade' and 'we have too much spell suppress'. But you answered all that and more in this vid, so cheers!
I went to the endgame build and thought "oh, I'm not there yet", then I went to the mid-game and thought "oh... I'm not quite there yet". And now I'm here. Thx for the guide, dude
I just found this channel. I'm new to the game and was following lacerate guide on Maxroll because it sounded newbie friendly but i think I'll be following yours more closely thank you!
@@ronarray I noticed a lot of people recommended skills like sunder until you get to 68 or so, then respec into lacerate. Was leveling with lacerate that bad?
Been following your original build guide, it's been a great help so far because my brain is too small to make my own build work. Super tanky, damage is great for clear and bossing (even though I'm using crimson dance, sorry!). I'm on red maps and so far I've only died to Vorana in a juiced logbook (like 6 times). Keep up the good work
Great video! I too made some changes to my build this weekend and most of them you suggested in the video! Blood tincture and eviserate have been huge helps to the build. Definitely going to try swapping out determination for skitterbots and auto curse
I was playing a Blood magic version of the build, and went to see yours, just changed the passives and got -mana on rings and im trying right now, the damage is way better, I just need some more mana reservation and it will be perfect, thanks for the guide.,
This the first time playing melee in a long time and this has been a lot of fun. It took me longer in the acts because it's not what I'm used to. I got 2 really good uniques by act 3 that gave me insane attack speed lmao I already managed to acquire a divine worth of investment.
@@ronarray heck yah bro. I've been meaning to ask, what are the best atlas strategies for this build? I've just been doing an alch and go but I want to farm some currency. Edit: I've made it to red maps but have been stuck for 2 days getting absolutely wrecked. Can't find a atlas strat that works with this build for currency and didnt find my first Divine until today. Starting to feel burned out on the league already
Just finished the campaign, I love your build ❤️ I’m capped on res, 65(90% block chance and I haven’t done Uber lab yet :3 and I don’t have a unique armor or rare armor on (besides tabula) :D Also the Jack Axe is so good!
Firstly, Thanks for these lacerate build vids. They're so good and really bridge the gap between just following a guide to actually understanding why you chose what you choose and how a build works. Secondly, So far the build has been working great, however, on maps I'm noticing moments where I'm getting hit quite hard/killed a lot but not sure what rolls on maps are doing this (outside of the normal ones to avoid for bleed+block)... I think I've narrowed it down to elemental weakness, vulnerability and any stacked mobs that inflict punishment - this one hurts the most!. It's not frequent, but when i get it, it feels really bad. Any tips or suggestions outside of adding them to the mods to avoid, if i have room on the regex. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the support - you can run lab / use gemscutters for it (for the supports trade lvl 20 gem + 1 gemscatter to vendor and receive lvl 1 but quality 20 support).
I love the great work man, youve helped me with this league a lot. I am now swappn to this build and scored 3 divs on my 1st toon this league. I have a question, is it advised that I follow this "Updated Planner" and skip over the starter. I just completed the campaign and now doing low yellow maps
Hello my Korean Friend! - Skitterbots will shock enemies and will rise overall damage enemy receives including Bleeding, Malevolence COULD be better but in this version we don't have enough mana for it. Cheers!
Mana is always outperforming Blood magic in the endgame showcasing higher DPS and more convenience (such as Automated x2 Curses). So i would swap later on.
I'm only at about 1.5 million dps with only Pride b/c of blood magic. I may try to switch back to using mana to reserve more auras. My damage is acceptable, but 1.5 million is a bit too low, I think.
@@ronarray Thank you. I tried to switch yesterday, but it looks like the mana cost is still way too high and will take a lot of investment for me to switch, or I'd have to run life tap. I have my damage up to about 2.2 mil, which isn't bad for a private league setting, but gonna be hard to get more auras and tincture without significant investment.
Great build btw, i am playing bleed slam chieftain for yhe 7 link and easy res. At 11mil dot dps and also 80% block. Gotta say i scale Banners due to the warcries and it doubles my dps. I am thinking of going semy aura stacker with perfect agony. A tip for Agont, impossible escape with Acrobatics gives you perfxt agony and the spell supress wheel ;)@ronarray
Would it be wise to drop the jagged technique ascendency for the tempest rising boots? It's a good damage boost and you can use the 2 points for more evicerates or whatever
Hey, I was interested in trying your version of gladiator. I was wanting to do boss killer build which can tank most damage. (The bosses I specifically wanted to kill were the regular pinnacles like the Maven, Sirus, Elder) It would be my first time trying most of these bosses. Would you recommend this for someone trying these bosses for the first time? Thank you
Yeah, if you can progress it far enough it can be a decent Boss killer, I'm going to post proper Endgame Version tomorrow and this one will be 100% uber viable, stay tuned!
Hey there! Due to Ryslatha you will have a BIG range of bleeds so if you rolled a good one with high number you need it to stay ON the enemy as long as possible.
I respected an horible cyclone build into this and with missing nodes still and with crap gear and it is consistently not dying in tier 10 maps. The previous build was not able to handle t5 maps so really nice synergies and doing well. It can also handle low level delve because of the defenses to my surprise the lack of determination did not do much. Thanks for this build it is really really nice!!
You can use gloves 16% + Implicit at gloves for more, More Action Speed at Boots, Frenzy charges if you dont have them too. If it is still not good - add multistrike.
Amazing insight on the build. I'll definitely give it a try. Also, what kind of MTX are you using on your character? Right now I wish we had some sort of "gladiator" look, with the helmet, body armour, shield and etc, but the game lacks so much. I found one, but I missed it, it's called Manticore set. We can buy the shield MTX, but not the armour bundle unfortunately.
Be very carefull with ninja builds, here is the part of my other comment: Don't use POE ninja for DOT Dps - it is lying heavily, many guys at ninja even use Deadly Ailments (lowering your Hit amount by 80%(!!!)) together with Cruelty, their DPS is totally fake and pure pobwarrioring. You will never receive full cruelty buff even with normal damage cause we dont stack hit damage at all. But with Deadly ailments you will be at 1-2% (out of 40%) of cruelty buff at any boss or rare and it will give you basically 0 dps. If you interested in that topic watch my stream (link with temestamp) ua-cam.com/video/uK7lNIi4uXw/v-deo.html there for more info. Cheers!
I checked both yours and Ziz's version of Lacerate Glad for league starter, since his had blood magic I went with that since it seems more beginner friendly, but now on +t10 maps I feel the limited damage, thinking about switching fully to your version.. But getting enough mana/mana reserve for auras seems to be pretty steep. If I cant get mods on my chest for mana reserve and amulet - mana cost, should I still try this build with like one less aura? Like without purity or skitterbots until I can get more mana reserve efficiency? Also purpose of skitterbots is just shock on enemy? Which increases all damage taken, even the our bleed damage? Never used skitterbots with a melee build. Thanks for the comprehensive guide! Will try to switch to your build when I can get closer to the end game.
Drop the skitterbots, those are for the dmg only - roll -mana on rings + amulet and get Canibalistic, it will work greatly like this. And hit me on twitch if you will need further help. www.twitch.tv/ronarray/
Hey ron thanks for the follow up video! At 7:30 you're talking about an option ( Have you blocked recently) in POB that doesn't exist on my end and I can only see block chance cap at 65% instead of 88% like you have it, any idea? it's updated to most recent version
It should work jsut perfectly - will need to respect Blood Magic but after it you will be fine 9make sure you have mana figured). Hit me on twitch (www.twitch.tv/ronarray) if you will need help too!
Not so sure about early update for this - my co streamer is playing one but for now just following the POB. Maybe endgame one will be good to do tho - hit me on twitch if you have questions about it!
Hey, whats your thoughts about running Petrified blood in order to run clarity, vitality and blood and sand w/ arrogance + Bloodthirst (low life damage)... I am tinkering with it and its interesting...
Can go for it but not a lot of point - if you block often you will survive anyway - we need to protect ourselves against hits we are NOT blocking. Cheers!
would the mastery "10% of leech is instant" help our tincture uptime? I am having a hell of time rolling reduce mana burn rate on the flask with the DOT multi
How do you think this build compares to zizarans? Im lvl 70 atm but using blood magic with pride and vitality my hp is 1500, im very tanky but it is still scary sometimes, im lucky i got laccerate of hemorrage at lvl 40 though and have been wiping everything that stands in my way
I think Blood Magic is good early if you are not experienced enough to deal with mana - but alter on when you will have -7 Mana Cost crafts it is better to do my version. Cheers!
It has, but the duration of fortify is bigger and even at 10-15 stacks it is still effective, when cruelty at half stacks lose hard to any other DPS gem including fortify.
@@ronarray *edit rewording* I was having a very hard time getting any stack at all on unique monsters on t16+ so it felt like a genuinely wasted slot on anywhere besides grouped enemies. But thinking about it I came up with this. What if we instead go EVISCERATE - Cruelty - Fortify - Volatility. Granting us a guaranteed best case scenario for our fortifies in both group and boss encounters AND getting the cruelty buff for our main bleeding ability , with practically still being able to get fat bleeds from eviscerate too at the loss of culling strike which we definitely can play around with elsewhere. Then we can add maim instead on our lacerate (or something else) , debuffing the enemy to take more% phys damage which stacks with our bleed. Do you think im on to something or am I missing something obvious here?
@@HFTVChannel For Cruelty to work like that we will need to add it to the 6 link with Lacerate wich is not a best solution - great idea for fortify tho, can be used for sure. You can also get Main to Eviscerate too and add multistrike to 6 link instead.
@@ronarray Reading the cruelty description, seems to insinuate that you get global cruelty buff , but the linked one gets extra effect out of it , but through testing that isn't the case , so you're correct on that front. So eviscerate , fortify , volatility , maim or culling makes more sense Thanks for the input! Do you have any good tips on how to get phys reduction together with mana reservation on chest?
@@ronarray i have battlemage and autoexertion in my boots with vulnerability and cold snap as per the pob. gloves i have pride and herald of purity then a blue socket for skitterbots but whats the remaining red slot ? ty
Yeah, T17 are very easy now, check this stream video ua-cam.com/video/pZmKMSxagQI/v-deo.html (I linked to a time) for my Ziggurath run example with harvest / Expedition in T17.
It is an update video man, there is not league starter in the title, please watch the main starter one, it has step by step level guide that is VERY in depth. - ua-cam.com/video/Xsgx58XIxuQ/v-deo.html
Absolutely not - I've been playing Lacerate from the starter to Ubers and tested a lot of setups - Bloodmagic is losing hard to Mana approach. You are loosing automated double curses, Herald, Malevolence while winning tiny amount of health that you practically don't even need. Blodmagic is OK at the very early start but nothing more.
@@ronarray Im playing hc, the damage seems capped around 5m give or take if you want to push it beyond your def layers gets crippled. I know, blocking is amazing but we still get some ocassional bad luck with block and multi hit, specially if you haven't blocked recently, that's why in hardcore its a bit of a gamble. I think is a nice league starter for a change but won't push it much more.
pros and cons: pros: jack. period. best weapon in the game by far! cons: lacerate is an absolute ASS of a skill with its buggy hitbox and the way the servers register hits from it if cleave or hell, even reave had a bleed transfiguration this would've been amazing

I would say follow the starter until you hit reds, then go for update and then for endgame version. Cheers!
@@ronarray when is it safe to say I can go for the endgame passive, im lvl 88 now rippn thorugh t16s that dont have counter affixes
have each unique but amulet, super in high cost
You can check a new video - ua-cam.com/video/LAt--CCVgpo/v-deo.html that will help you transition for cheaper now.
Armour small cluster with gain an endurance charge every second for 5 seconds when hit recently
Inexorable is easier to access and can bring you to the max charges immediately in the group fight instead of after 5 seconds tho.
I use swordstorm instead of eviscerate, and it works pretty well too
I really like Eviscerate for Clear but other options are viable for sure, how do you use it?
swordstorm requires dual wield.. so its not working for shield build
Love the video, whats your thought on jagged edge vs crimson dance?
Still jagged Edge supremacy - too early for Crimson Dance.
Do you have a leveling guide with the updated version?
You can use the previous version as leveling and move to this one around 90+
Hey man, love the build. Just a question, on your PoB how did you get 88% max block even with versatile combatant?
You need to click Block Chance is Lucky in Config for that.
New player, this build has helped me through the league. How did you get wicked blade skill on the passive tree?
13:24
You need to annoint your amulet using oils.
For wicked blade passives, you need to use Amber Verdant & indigo. (see Sister cassia for annointement)
You will need to anoint an amulet at Cassia with it.
thanks for the video.
bt i have 1 question. Why i we need to use skitterbots? (Subscriber from South korea)
Hello my Korean Friend! - Skitterbots will shock enemies and will rise overall damage enemy receives including Bleeding, Malevolence COULD be better but in this version we don't have enough mana for it. Cheers!
I’ve seen a lot of builds with Blood Magic, that sounds nice not have to worry about mana. Anyone have suggestions on which is better?
Mana is always outperforming Blood magic in the endgame showcasing higher DPS and more convenience (such as Automated x2 Curses). So i would swap later on.
Does flesh and stone aura work with this?
Not really, it is not worth it with bleed.
how use war banner correct? Press to activate and when release?
Press to activate when you have 30+ valor.
I'm only at about 1.5 million dps with only Pride b/c of blood magic. I may try to switch back to using mana to reserve more auras. My damage is acceptable, but 1.5 million is a bit too low, I think.
Switching can definitely help you - hit me on twitch if you will have questions!
@@ronarray Thank you. I tried to switch yesterday, but it looks like the mana cost is still way too high and will take a lot of investment for me to switch, or I'd have to run life tap.

Yeah, requirements could be hard but it is totally worth it.
Mana recoup allows you to keep up tinctures for a long long time :)
Interesting tech as well - We don't really have a lot of space for mana recoup tho but it is still a cool thing.
@@ronarray 3 points with the wheel south to the left, it's easy to sneak in

Do you have any thoughts on Unwavering Stance? Ziz seemed to think it was necessary for a Block build, since blocks still stun.
Never had issues with stuns to be honest, maybe at HC it is more crucial but in mine case - Flask + Brine king is enough.
I took it and feels so much nicer. For only needing a few poitnts to get to in the tree, I would rather sacrifice a little damage for it.
Definitely do that if you feel that way.
ty for update! but for me it seems what not enough atk speed, can u explain what sources i can use to improve it
You can use gloves 16% + Implicit at gloves for more, More Action Speed at Boots, Frenzy charges if you dont have them too. If it is still not good - add multistrike.

It should work jsut perfectly - will need to respect Blood Magic but after it you will be fine 9make sure you have mana figured). Hit me on twitch (www.twitch.tv/ronarray) if you will need help too!
All right I’ll drop by
When should I use this passive tree over the previous one, I'm lvl 30 at the moment, shold I focus directly in this one?
Not really, go with old one and swap to this around 90+
Is there any chance you are gonna do Sunder slam update? I'd love to see it :D
Not so sure about early update for this - my co streamer is playing one but for now just following the POB. Maybe endgame one will be good to do tho - hit me on twitch if you have questions about it!
I made a few less than ideal passive choices and now I am starved for regret orbs
Don't worry bout it - you'll farm those fast!
you can use gold to respec in the new league mechanic! pretty useful!
Is this build good for sanctum? If not , what mechanics would you recommend?
It is very average for Sanctum, not enough range for it. Everything else works.
Hey, whats your thoughts about running Petrified blood in order to run clarity, vitality and blood and sand w/ arrogance + Bloodthirst (low life damage)... I am tinkering with it and its interesting...
Any reason to not go for a shaper shield for the 5% life on block?
Can go for it but not a lot of point - if you block often you will survive anyway - we need to protect ourselves against hits we are NOT blocking. Cheers!
@@ronarray i see, what do you think about veteran soldier annoint instead of wicked blade
Pretty decent option if your duration is good already.
would the mastery "10% of leech is instant" help our tincture uptime? I am having a hell of time rolling reduce mana burn rate on the flask with the DOT multi
It helps a little but not mandatory at this point.
How do you get 7M dps on POB ? i am following similar axe but only able to get 600k DPS on POB
You need to check your configuration, probably missing something in there.
do you know why my pob shows 65 65 block chances, but ingame it's 65 54 ? The build is exactly the same
I talk about it in the Block calculation error timestamp in the video (check it out!)
@@ronarray so i actually need that 1 small block node to get 65 65 instead of 65 64 ?
@@DaseMz Depends on your POB but pretty often - yes.
@@ronarray i have 43% on my shield and it's not enough to get the 65 65 without the small block node
@@DaseMzyour shield block is nulled
I use crushing fist because you are already close to the enemies so why not
I think Eviscerate helps to clear better tbh
How do you think this build compares to zizarans? Im lvl 70 atm but using blood magic with pride and vitality my hp is 1500, im very tanky but it is still scary sometimes, im lucky i got laccerate of hemorrage at lvl 40 though and have been wiping everything that stands in my way
I think Blood Magic is good early if you are not experienced enough to deal with mana - but alter on when you will have -7 Mana Cost crafts it is better to do my version. Cheers!
I am still on BM too, but this has 2 more aura, that itself is monstrous benefit. I will switch asap.
One question how did you get life? If your playing ssf Jack die axe is pretty hsrd to get. There are only one life on Block Note.
I have a great Leech and do not receive a lot of damage so life sustain is not an issue.
Does Blood Tincture bleed snapshot? so, can you activate it, bleed the boss, and then deactivate it during bleed duration without losing damage?
Hard to say but considering how Bleed applied it is pretty likely - but you will need high bleed duration anyway.
quick question is lacerate of hemorrhage just lacerate but max quality
No, not really - it is lacerate option that you can get from Labyrinth - read this www.poewiki.net/wiki/Transfigured_skill_gem
I’m having a really hard time getting lacerate of hemorrhage
If it is not an SSF you can just buy it.
@@ronarray yeah but it’s like 150 chaos orbs on console. I’m pretty new so I’m not sure how easy that is to farm vs farming merc lab for the roll
Doesn't fortify run to the same problem as cruelty due to our base hit being low , rendering it more or less useless against bosses?
It has, but the duration of fortify is bigger and even at 10-15 stacks it is still effective, when cruelty at half stacks lose hard to any other DPS gem including fortify.
@@ronarray *edit rewording* I was having a very hard time getting any stack at all on unique monsters on t16+ so it felt like a genuinely wasted slot on anywhere besides grouped enemies.
But thinking about it I came up with this. What if we instead go EVISCERATE - Cruelty - Fortify - Volatility. Granting us a guaranteed best case scenario for our fortifies in both group and boss encounters AND getting the cruelty buff for our main bleeding ability , with practically still being able to get fat bleeds from eviscerate too at the loss of culling strike which we definitely can play around with elsewhere.
Then we can add maim instead on our lacerate (or something else) , debuffing the enemy to take more% phys damage which stacks with our bleed.
Do you think im on to something or am I missing something obvious here?
@@HFTVChannel For Cruelty to work like that we will need to add it to the 6 link with Lacerate wich is not a best solution - great idea for fortify tho, can be used for sure. You can also get Main to Eviscerate too and add multistrike to 6 link instead.
@@ronarray Reading the cruelty description, seems to insinuate that you get global cruelty buff , but the linked one gets extra effect out of it , but through testing that isn't the case , so you're correct on that front.
So eviscerate , fortify , volatility , maim or culling makes more sense
Thanks for the input! Do you have any good tips on how to get phys reduction together with mana reservation on chest?
I usually just buy one for 1-2 DIV, there are plenty.
This build can do simulacrum with this investiment?
Never tried it this league but in theory yes.
in the video there are 4 gems in the gloves, in the pob i only see 3? whats the 4th please
2 curses, Battlemage and autoexertion.
@@ronarray i have battlemage and autoexertion in my boots with vulnerability and cold snap as per the pob. gloves i have pride and herald of purity then a blue socket for skitterbots but whats the remaining red slot ? ty
@@jameshart1734 Oh, last one can be empty there - it is not needed.
Why the 28% inrease mana regeneration rate is a good base ?
it is not that good to be honest, base is alright since we need man - but stats for example would be a better choice if you lack those.
is there a loot filter for this build?
Still normal neversink with custom looting weapons - nothing else required.
hi ronarray, why my pob does show 65% block chance +31% and only 62% spell block chance?
You need more normal block to move it to the spell block.
what number in parentheses near my block chance means?
IT is the percentage with which your build overcapped block, don't worry about it.
@@ronarray in that case how to go over 65% cap? i still feel vunerable
You need last ascendancy for 87% chance with lucky.
@@ronarray thanks man
lacerate has too small aoe for me tbh, i switch to eviscerate as main skill
Unfortunately eviscerate Lacks potential for bleed fishing especially against bosses - so it is mostly mapping skill.
@@ronarray true single target is weaker vs boss but I'd take it since I can literally destroy fully doubled mod juiced expedition maps haha
It's so hard to play poe cause I can't use pob😢
Why you cant use PoB?
wish I had found your build sooner. i am already deep in Ziz's build but that build is a huge scam.
how do you manage 3 auras on mana? I skilled the modifier wheel but its still slightly too less
awesome build btw, really enjoy playing it!
You need mana reserve on body armor for it - check it in the video.
@@ronarray ah goddamit, i was so focused on spell surpression, havent seen that - thank you for your patience and answers!
No problem at all - hit me on twitch if you will need more help.
thisbuild can do t17?
Yeah, T17 are very easy now, check this stream video ua-cam.com/video/pZmKMSxagQI/v-deo.html (I linked to a time) for my Ziggurath run example with harvest / Expedition in T17.
@@ronarraythank bro
Leauge starter but no level guide for skills on pob? bummer
It is an update video man, there is not league starter in the title, please watch the main starter one, it has step by step level guide that is VERY in depth. - ua-cam.com/video/Xsgx58XIxuQ/v-deo.html
u should jsut take blood magic drop all mana
Absolutely not - I've been playing Lacerate from the starter to Ubers and tested a lot of setups - Bloodmagic is losing hard to Mana approach. You are loosing automated double curses, Herald, Malevolence while winning tiny amount of health that you practically don't even need.
Blodmagic is OK at the very early start but nothing more.
Not gonna lie, bleed has been a dissapointment this league.
How
Hard to say why you feel that way - it's been a blast for me including T17 on day 2 start...
@@ronarray Im playing hc, the damage seems capped around 5m give or take if you want to push it beyond your def layers gets crippled.
I know, blocking is amazing but we still get some ocassional bad luck with block and multi hit, specially if you haven't blocked recently, that's why in hardcore its a bit of a gamble.
I think is a nice league starter for a change but won't push it much more.
That's understandable - will see how far I will push endgame version for it.
pros and cons:
pros: jack. period. best weapon in the game by far!
cons: lacerate is an absolute ASS of a skill with its buggy hitbox and the way the servers register hits from it
if cleave or hell, even reave had a bleed transfiguration this would've been amazing
You can run maps with reave or sunder sand swap to lacerate for bossing.
