[3.10] Impale CVR Gladiator | TANKY, 7-8 M Shaper DPS | UE/A8 Sirus/Simulacrum 20/20 ALL DONE
|
Hello and welcome to this VERY TANKY gladiator build that uses 3 main skills: Cyclone, Vengeance, Riposte (CVR). We have layers of defenses and tons of DPS, making this build very relaxing to play and it can beat all contents with ease. Cheaper and expensive versions are available, making it a progressive build.

1. First of all, why cyclone? Pure Riposte/Vengeance build has low clear speed and therefore is bad in Delirium. Also it can feel bad against boss that don't hit often but hit hard (i.e. Sirus, you really don't wanna tank his fat beams). So we use cyclone as our main skill. Cyclone charges up Challenger charges in boss fights, giving us lots of APS and movement speed. It also proc impale stacks like nothing else, greatly stabilize the DPS output of Riposte/Vengeance. 2. Why Riposte and Vengeance? Because we have 79/79 block, these are basically free damage. LOTs of free damage. Help with clear as well. 3. Why use Stave? Good block chance, two 6-links, free endurance charges. They also give good AOE. POB + Skill tree

Currently at level 95. https://pastebin.com/dqcDDFfS We use a timeless jewel: lethal pride, Kiloava, to transform Resolute technique into Glancing blows. Effect on Notables to look for are: increased fortify effect, Intimidate on hit, max life, melee crit multi. These aren't that important.

Weapons Just about every stats in this Stave is great. Try get high quality (>26) it makes a big difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Helmet: Easy choice. Worry not about the increased physical damage taken. We can take it, no problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Armor + Gloves: Cheap option (preferred option): Belly + Haemophila (vulnerability on hit corrupt is ideal) If using this setup, switch Ruthless in the Riposte setup to Bloodlust. It is a huge DPS boost. Expensive option: Explode chest + good rare (better clear, more life, more stats. Less single target DPS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amulet, rings, boots, belt: Good rares to fill out resist, dex. Make sure rings and amulet have open prefix to craft -3 mana cost to channeling skill. We also need quite a bit accuracy from these + jewels. Tailwind on boots is good but not needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lethal pride Timeless Jewel We use a timeless jewel: lethal pride, Kiloava, to transform Resolute technique into Glancing blows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cluster Jewel Currently I am using 1 large + 2 small Overlord is a must. Other than that it is just life and dex for me ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gem links

For leveling, I used earthquake and self-crafted staves. Pretty straightforward. Ascendancy

Hello ! I like your build but i didn't get how did you have fortify ?

" The Overlord notable in the large cluster jewel grant 6 seconds of fortify on melee hits with a staff |
