[3.0] Slayer Heavy Strike/Cleave Bleed Build
 This build is utilizing high melee physical hit of heavy strike to deal high bleed damage, Starforge is the best in slot item for this build although a good physical two hand sword could be used. For mapping, swap heavy strike with cleave and use cleave threshold jewel "Overwhelming Odds" Pros and Cons
Spoiler
Pros - Good single target damage - High life leech rate - Decent Hp Pool Cons - Vulnerable to physical reflect (Headsman + Basalt Flask + Minor God - Yugul helps quite a lot) - Mediocre clear speed - Not budget friendly Skilltree:

" Yes, I just linked my items from other build, so the gems in the item could be wrong. I have made a note in the Gear section. |

Thank you for this nice build! I am currently testing out an axe cleave version of this. I have a question about mana management. Because you are taking hematophagy instead of vitality void, do you run into any mana problems since you don't leech mana?

" The build is taking blood magic keystone, mana would not be a problem. =) |
|
" Ah! Sorry I somehow missed that. On that note however, I didn't take blood magic but crafted "leech 0.38% physical damage as mana", and it solved the "mana problem". Thanks for the clarification! |
