It's the best clear speed skill i could think off that uses Rive, Reave would work i guess as well. You could use skills that bleed much harder, but your clear speed will probably be lower. Ideally this build would work with a bow skill, but since we don't have super reliable way of bleeding with bows i went with this claw. ST is definitively not ideal, but it's the best i could think of.

All right, thanks. Makes sense, you could focus way more on the bleed, but for what use if the clearspeed is the best with ST. Gotta give the build a go once I've got more time to play.

So you abandoned the build, or will you reroll it again?

I'l probably do it again next patch, not playing that much PoE atm, and if i do, wanna try other Ascendency classes

I've recently done some testing on SC and integrated Dirty Techniques into the build, helps greatly with stubborn targets that don't wanna move

What's that?

Any videos?

How much hp are we looking at lvl 90 char?

Also, you have the character is sc still, why just completely abandon the build and stop updates as soon as you died? Doesn't make sense, to me at least.

Dirty Techniques is a cluster in the Duelist Area

Level 90 you're looking at 5 to 6k hp depending on what items you use.

I don't play perma leagues, so as soon as a character dies it gets deleted, this time i am keeping one of each class so i can respec test stuff in future patches, this allowed me to do some more testing since so many people pmed me about the build.

Currently away from home, https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/4f03jx/rive_gladiator_spectral_throw_not_as_underpowered/ here's "kinda" what it looks like, i say kinda because my character was clearing faster than this since it was better optimized (that's not my video)

Added a block version alongside Bloodrage and Acrobatic versions

Still viable for 2.3

What's your opinion for 2.4? I'm searching for a ST build since the MTX is just so good.

I'm thinking about 2x Rive + Bleed or Binos for Poison stacks.

I am using a build very similar to this, except using Reave / Vaal Reave for range. It is melee, and I use Shaper's Touch for the gloves, since it is so heavily invested in Dexterity. This gives a good bonus to base HP and melee damage, as well I honestly believe Reave is a better skill for this kind of build (base damage is MUCH higher, especially because we don't have to use GMP)
