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

According to PoB, this only has 45k dps with 5k bleed dps at lv 89. How is this viable for endgame?

I have watched his videos and seen the bleed tooltip, plus remember that you are stacking your bleeds 8 times

Also if you look at ascendancy nodes POB says gratuitous violence and blood in the eyes are adding zero dps, yet they give you 60% more damage vs targets that are bleeding with attacks and ailments (so your additional bleeds get a 60% bonus) and makes them explode for 10% of their max life on death

Leveling trees would be awesome. :)
Ok read, why ther is no llvling trees.
Is this 3.2 vaiable?

I was a big fan of Blasphemer's Grasp when it is first out in Abyss League. I was working on ideas to come up with a build around it.



It comes with "15% increased damage with ailments per elder item equipped". Considering that Bleed damage is ailment, it gives us 150% increased bleed damage in total in case all item slots are elder.


Blasphemer's Grap's ability "remove an ailment when you use flask" give us opportunity to use flasks such as "Blood of the Karui" & "Lavianga's Spirit" to recover our health & mana quite immediately.

I just started playing POE just before the Abyss League and come up with this build towards the end of Abyss League. You can check my character named KanBanyosu for further details.

For build requires Elder items, it is not as budget friendly as Bobby's build but it has lots of potential to improve damage output & survivability thanks to elder items.

Just to put into perspective:
- 20% increased maximum mana coming from Elder helm
- Fortify support on Elder boots together with increased totem damage which work perfectly with Ancestral Protector gem set-up.
- "Recovery of 6% of maximum life on kill" & "+1 level to socketed support gems" thanks to elder body armour.
- Additional block chance coming from elder shields as compared to other shield in game
- "+% increased maximum life" which can be rolled in several different elder items


I posted the build guide in the forum after getting permission from Bobby.

Works pretty well in beast league.
Found adding Clarity (lv 5) to be useful in place of the lightning shield,
after taking Mind Over Matter...
I never remember to keep lightning shield active, and a +7 health regen is not bad.

Does this Build also work with Dual Wield o: im not a big fan of shields XD

Sorry for my English

excellent build compliments, and it's also fun.
For pure fun, I put together shield charge, chance to bleed,faster atk+fortify and reckoning/vengeance+chance to bleed....=shield explosion
for low-level maps, go through the enemies and watch them explode, quick cleanup and fun.

tnx

Ignore PoB dps numbers for bleed/poison/ignite builds. If you don't want to believe me, check Mathil's older video on his Wasp Nest poison character.

Flicker strike used to be the same way- the tooltip dps was always incredibly low for it, yet the actual in-game damage is fine.

It most likely would, but I'm not too sure how you'd build it exactly, as it'd be very different from my build.

Let me know how it turns out!

It actually got (literally) 25% better in 3.2, as the Gratuitous Violence Ascendancy node got buffed with "25% MORE damage with bleeding". As for leveling trees, I did't put them because this was/is a league starter, so the leveling is largely dependent on your early gear drops (if your gear doesn't have much life, take some life early/if you can't seem to find a decent weapon, take some damage early, etc.)
