[3.13] BLEED BOW GLADIATOR Build 2021 EDITION. League starter & All CONTENT viable!

Hey,

I'm really enjoying this bleed build, but I don't know that much about mechanics. My clearspeed is actually insane but I struggle at bosses and tough rares. I don't die often, but they take quite long even though I use a 5L puncture.

Given my current gear and roughly 200c to spend, could anyone please please have a look at my gear and what I could I improve next to get more single target dps? I could save up for Ryslatha, get a Cluster (can free some passives if I upgrade rings/amulet), start crafting a bow, get a better quiver. I have actually no idea where to start.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Gear in spoiler.

drop the drilneck, your ensnaring shot isnt applying the debuff to single target because its piercing, meaning you arent getting the boss to act as if its moving while bleeding

Wow, that is actually a huge tip lol.
I was wondering all day because it didn't seem to do extra damage at all..

Good shit indeed. I didn't even notice that

Fork probably does the same right? That means I need to swap out my Replica Infractem...

pretty sure fork and chain act the same as pierce in that ensnaring wont apply its debuff until the last target hit, so after it chains,forks or pierces. idk what your replica infractem does, but if the boss is the last target of the fork, or its not forking because its 1 target, then you should be fine

and looking at your gear real fast, you have pierce on your neck, instantly making ensnaring worthless

Yeah just got the necklace now but even before with the infractem fork it probably didn't trigger. The visual effect is ropes connected from the ground to the thing affected right? Time to switch up my gear a bit :)

yeah the ropes tethering the mobs are the visual, a good high phys base is a citadel bow. just try to get high flat phys and % phys and you are good until you can get your hands on an elder bow with 60% chance of 100% extra bleed

Is it worth to apply ensnaring arrow through Mirage Archer instead of Ballista Totems? Or is there any special reason for using totems?

you can do it with mirage archers if you want, just know that they shoot much slower than having multiple balista down
