Hey mate, even on the videos that're diaries you should always start or end with a map, most people don't watch the content unless they're playing the build OR after they see it in action and like it. Otherwise good luck with the league mate
Thanks for the update JayTX. I followed the bones of your pob and make some changes to try out rupture support alongside chance to aggravate when you crit strike an enemy. I used rain of arrows to get stack many hits to proc both of these in the campaign. It worked but it was uncomfortable at some points, with the biggest problem i had being accuracy. I solved it with precision and am just breaking into red maps now, however i lack determination so a little squish. I will be swapping over to split arrow but keeping the rupture support because i see potential. Rupture fits nicely as a way to pump up single target dps by boosting your big snipe hit. On top of that, when youre mapping and using split arrow, the ruptures will help kill tanky rares that you might have orherwise sniped, so its a nice QOL. Just need to work aeound accuracy issue. Thanks for the update and i will be looking to chase Ralakesh boots with you!
So I want to give one final update on the build and how I overcame some issues with it. I made the swap over to JayTX's passive tree layout, more or less, but I found 2 major obstacles. 1) DPS and Single target was rough. Ralakesh's boots and Ryslatha's belt were very expensive, so I actually opted to use Usurper's Penance helmet, which is super cheap and pushed my DPS up enough to tackle T16 bosses comfortably, and brought down eater & exarch pretty quickly. 2) Endurance charge generation was a pain. The passive points at tree bottom that generate endurance charges on kill are great for mapping but make it unreliable to sustain charges on bosses. However, like JayTX mentioned, the small cluster jewel passive for Enduring Composure which generates endurance charges on being hit makes charge sustain on bosses much more reliable. I opted to use of these options at the same time, sacrificing some spell suppression to make it work. The build felt much, much more tanky in T16's by using this setup, however I do realize it is less efficient for skill points doing it this way. Overall rating of the build: B+, without Ralakesh boots or Ryslatha's belt. If they were more affordable I think the build would really pop off, probably at least A+ or higher, and make cruising through endgame content an absolute breeze. Without Ralakesh boots, there are several problems to solve when putting the build together, which is fun to work through, but I feel like many other builds are able to achieve similar clear and better tankiness with more efficient skill point placement. The bleed pops are really great. Thanks JayTX for the build guide, I am off to make my 2nd build now.
I am curious what league mechanics are you focusing specifically on? I want to do expedition personally and i think the 20% explosion the glad provides is great for that content. By any chance are you running expedition with your slayer? How well does/did haemophilia work for you when you had early to mid game gear if you farmed expedition? Was it enough to clear the encounters without having a headache? :) Also ty for the guide!
1. Beyond, Harbinger and Ritual have been my atlas strategies early on 2. Expedition is very good with the bleed pops and the off-screen playstyle is very safe to run logbooks with 3. Haemophilia honestly felt fine even in juiced T16 Red Maps, the more important part is your Bow, gear and getting Aggravated Bleeds through quality on Vulnerability + Mark of Submission 4. Only recently swapped to the Forbidden Flame/Flesh today, finished entire Atlas and started my end-game strat with Haemophilias and it felt fine (you can even get +1 Frenzy Charge one, I didn't end up getting them before I swapped over but its a very good damage boost)
No map showcase! Entertain me! Haha My buddy talked me into some build he was doing now I'm out there tossing bouncing jars, but my heart bleeds for bows.

Will take note of that and add a showcase for the next update to the build!
thanks for the update, I've been following the PoB and these changes look promising

Appreciate the update, following the build and stream :)

i have one question, we should prefer Ur pob on this Video or in Ur starter ? Because u take the endurance points for kills here
Build feels nice. Just got into mapping. When can we drop mana flask?
When you have a bit of mana leech on your gear and the reduced mana cost passives on your tree!
Currently playing lacerate glad but want to try bleed bow slayer. What should be my buy priority? (i have ~20 div on me)
I'm new to bleed bow builds so do I use only snipe on bosses or a mix of split arrow and snipe? I would love to know
You use Snipe to start off the fight and use Split Arrow to try aggravate the bleeds
thanks for the build, do you have atlas tree for this build?
Exarch/eater + strongboxes/legion
No map showcase! Entertain me! Haha My buddy talked me into some build he was doing now I'm out there tossing bouncing jars, but my heart bleeds for bows.
I have the full league start VOD and early mapping on Bleed Bow on my twitch channel ;)
How will it feel in endgame with charges for tankyness?
Just finished alot of the new Endgame bosses fights blind and didnt come close to dying once, build is very durable compared to past versions
Now i am confused haha, i am new to poe and was using the first build. i am lvl 20 now i dont know what to do . with gold i can respecall#?
You can talk to the new NPC Faustus and he lets you respec your passive points with the gold you find when you kill monsters
@@JayTX Thank u, so with enough gold i can respec all?
