[3.2] Bobby's Lacerate Bleed Gladiator [Budget Friendly | HC Viable | TANKY] UPDATED!

Trying a 2H sword variant as a slayer. Mainly want to try Kondo's Pride out. Seems pretty solid so far but I am still leveling. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello,

I really like the idea of your build, therefore I started an HC abyss character running it, but I have one question: Are you sure MoM is really the best option for this build? I feel like we're wasting too many points by going to it, maybe they could be better spent on the Juggernaut passive in the marauder area+ some other life passives, or maybe we could gen Command of Steel for some more block and damage, plus other life nodes? I'm not exactly the best "build builder" but that's the vibe I'm getting.
Also, by skipping MoM, you could get less mana nodes, saving you even more points for other stuff. Or you could just use vulnerability+blasphemy and grace?


Again, I'm not saying my options are better, but I want your opinion on it

Why not reach to "Dirty techniques" and "Hatched Master" ?

Not needed or you needed points somewhere else?

Not OP, but good point you have. According to path of building, by losing the axe mastery nodes on the left and getting dirty techniques he gains 150 dps on his bleed damage(from 4000 to 4150), with no drawback as far as im aware

You miss out on chance to get onslaught though. Does POB consider that?

I'm not sure it does, but if you use daresso's defiance you can get onslaught anyway.

Have you thought about changing LGOH for tempest shield?

I believe it provides max block for some extra defenses.

Kondo's Pride is a great idea. So great, in fact, that I'm going to edit the build guide right now to mention it. Thank you.

I actually run a self-cast Tempest Shield. I could have possibly forgotten to mention that in the build guide (which I'll check now). If I did, I'll be sure to make an edit. Great suggestion though.

This is something I've given a lot of thought, and your suggestion very well might be better. The initial plan was to fill that entire axe wheel out (I was overlooking how overcapped on chance to bleed that would make me), but since I haven't ended up doing that, Dirty Techniques is probably a better idea, though it'd take a few extra points to path over there. The Onslaught is nice though- mainly for the movespeed it grants us.
