[3.15] Spectral Shield Throw Bleed Gladiator - tanky & fast mapping - good scaling - all content
" We just need to apply our bleed stacks so I doubt its worth a swap or build rejig to include it. I just hope the numbers on the buffed SST are good and that they didn't nerf the support gems too hard if at all. |

Thanks for the build!
I'm just curious if someone tried to make a crit version of this build? I have some ideas in mind but for new skill Shield Crush. | |
" Yes. The Bash thing will do nothing for this build. That's why i wrote Hit based. I tested a lot of different Impale SST Characters last seasons. It's nearly playable, but can't keep up with the cheap gearing and playstyle of the Bleed version. But maybe with some new buffs and the Bash for Single Target :) Guides:

" The only other version I've seen is raider with full cold conversion. |

Well the manifesto is out lads and even though we have not seen the numbers yet it looks like SST might be getting a buff over all.
They said they are reworking some DoT nodes on the tree and on clusters so we might lose a bit of damage there but the big thing is that SST doesn't need the threshold jewel anymore, it is inbuilt in to the skill now. Also SST is meant to get "greatly boosted damage" along with all shield skills. I think this means they scale even harder with your shield stats now, perhaps 30% - 40% increased damage. They also buffed DoT weapons which is great for our stat stick. If they don't hit the support gems too hard we may be a top build this league perhaps. GET HYPED LADS!

I am going to be trying this out as a league start build and the new Shield Crush skill looks like it will go nicely with this build since it also scales off your shields stats and 2 of the 3 waves can overlap giving on one target effectively doubling its single target damage potential.
for those that have played this build before can you shotgun the shield throw or would it still be better to use shield crush on single targets depending on its dps ? Last edited by askjosh on Jul 20, 2021, 2:03:54 AM

Well I was going to pick this or eye of winter totems for league starter, but after the manifesto I think it is settled and bleed shield throw it is.
It's such a defensive powerhouse and yes the bleed doesn't insta melt everything. The whole point is, I'm not dieing :D Now if it only were friday already :/ " Not sure if I like this though, I doubt the loss of like 50 to 75% armor on a shield is compensated with the crit increase. Have to see the amounts I guess. | |
