[2.4][HC] 78% block Reave Gladiator with strong Bleeding, Low budget, Good clear speed!
" Yes, ofcourse you can use this skill tree for blade flurry! Just check last video in main post. Support gems must be same, this 4L in BOR are best options, for sure. Maybe Conc effect instead Inc AOE - but we need to test this. |

UPDATE:
- added T10 map run VIDEO (on 88 lvl with 13lvl Blade Flurry) - added topic "HOW TO IMPROVE THIS BUILD?" |

For Aegis support, I would go more to marauder and grab all these Life/Armor points there instead of going up to Shadow.
Aegis is fed by armor, and it's easy to get 15K with iron reflexes + grace, so you'll get a solid 300 / block in minimum. Additional you can get the RT key node to boost the damage of a non crit build. You don't take anything special out of shadow area (crit, poison, daggers), so marauder is just better for an armor heavy build. Atziri is no problem with a build like this (done it with my gladi), of cause you should avoid her special attacks as much as possible. But with 78% block you don't die on each error :) . Rerolling the tree is no problem, I think we get a free reset in a few days. I switched back to 75% block with a crafted dagger (check my char Faewill). The items there are selffound or crafted, so I don't know price tags. I think the Amulett is not very common, as the voidheart I got early in prophecy league. The gauntlets with vulnerability on Hit costed me about 80 orbs, I threw them on any halfway decent found gloves, and got lucky on a better pair. My character isn't ready, too. I need a better belt to run blood dance boots like you. Last edited by Llyrain#5646 on Nov 28, 2016, 5:02:05 AM

" i see , so basically i just replace the reave gem with the blade flurry gem and the Inc Aoe gem, got it , :D glad to hear it that i dont have to reroll the skill tree . thanks for advice , really great guide :D |

" It is good decision to go to marauder, but i go to shadow for more ES for this build. Yes, if you have 6L Carcass Jack you can go to marauder, probably. Your character have really good gear)) chest and dagger especialy and legacy voidheart ofcourse...ammy is fat too. BUT how much HP and ES you have now?? Shadow have few fat nodes for attack speed (Coordination for example) and for phys damage too (Fangs of the Viper, Sleight of hand) thats why shadow is best decision, for my opinion.

It's about the aegis - for shadow it's better to use Lioneyes shield for all the +shield defense nodes and forget about aegis. With 7K armor it feeds only 140 shield / hit.
The armor is self linked - I simply did the the vorici/elrond quest every day and linked it. The dagger costed about 1 abyss map(to find a white one), about 500 alts and a hand full regal/scrorings. I leave every map sweeped clean, every yellow item goes to Zara. If I craft a better next time, it will get the multimod and 2 additional stats. For comparing, it does about 30% more damage than a bino's on this non-crit-char. Could take additional crit if I would multimod it, but it's not worth it. I have about 700 shield in this combination, and 15k armor. Another possibility is to use a pure ES glove / boot if you stay at your helmet to get 700 ES. Marauder gets you 1 extra jewel slot - that's up to 40% damage or 1x% attack speed with a crafted jewel. I'm at 5,4k life and 700 ES atm - it's the question to take more damage (frency charges) or tankyness (a few left life nodes and armor) for the points to 92. Don't underestimate the RT keystone - it's an easy 20% more damage if you aren't lucky with your equip with lots of accuracy on rare items. My good crafted damage jewels are all on mace - so with this char the damage jewels are only what was left in the stash, nothing optimal. |

" If you have 15k armor 5,4k HP and 700 ES so your way (to marauder) is better then my (to shadow). But my way is based on low budget - coz your build works well ONLY with 6L Carcass (maybe you are lucky with connecting 6L, yes, but im not) and with Voidheart. 6L Carcass cost 8-9 ex or so right?? Legacy voidheart cost 40-50 ex on hardcore now. So yes if you have 6L Carcass and legacy Voidheart best desicion is go to marauder - agree with you. " Yes, Varunastra is good option too, but you need to refuse few nodes and grab Deadly Dilettante node instead. Also Varunastra is very powerfull with Voidheart ring, try to get it first.

You could use a 5-link - at the moment I have fortify in the 6th link for convenience and missing a really strong 6th gem. No problem linking it to your movement skill instead.
Everything besides the bosses (and bosses until T10) I do with a 4-link at the moment, since I use Item rarity + quantity for the rest of the map( conc and fortify goes out). For poison you could use snakebite gloves, since you go frency anyway - they are cheap. And bleeding you need only really for bosses and if you use another weapon, you have 33% at the moment. That's enough for all bosses(you need only to bleed once per 5 seconds), but trash don't explode that fast I think. So it would work without voidheart and 6-link. A five-link you can create yourself, 150 fusings from Vorici and Elrond daylies gives it safe. Or you are lucky and have a prophecy for a 5-link. Or just buy it... This would be a budget version, snakebites, a 5 link armor and an Aegis. Without aegis, a high armor shield(Lions is cheap) can be used with your shadow tree, since here you could collect all these "50% defences from shield" - nodes to get your armor from the shield alone. This would be really budget. To offset snakebites reduced frency duration, you can sacrifice 1 or 2 points in extra frency duration - I've done it with a bow ranger one time (no voidheart), and it works. |

Llyrain, buddy as i said probably YES your tree can be better than my especially for HC (coz your char have more HP more armor), but its really two different ways - yours and my.
BTW on last video (T10 map) i used multistrike in 4L BOR and multistrike gem dont work with blade flurry)) I swap it on Added Fire and my DPS is really huge now (as for me). Also i change Aegis on this SO On 14lvl(!!!) 4L BOR Blade Flurry with Conc Effect (inc AOE is bad idea for Blade Flurry) with ALL buffs (8/8 frenzy + Atziri & Lions Roar flasks + Vaal haste) my DPS = 8 000! And also this is value without perm bleeding and poison(!!!). Clear speed of T10 maps with this DPS is really CRAZY. I made video later. Blade Flurry is absolutely crazy skill! GGG must balanced it.
