2.2 The Bloodsplosion Gladiator "Spectral Blow" Atziti Viable, Steam Controller Viable

First, I love the build! I'm leveling one up as we speak!

Second, I am slightly confused about pierce: Is it just because of the extra projectile damage? Is there not a different support that we would benefit more from?

What did you put the curse on hit on while leveling?

Did you try a leap slam version?

No there really isnt much else. Pierce gives a %more multiplier which we need for the bleeds. Slower Proj is an option as it gives the same bonus, but it terrible for clearspeed and playability.

In a 4L. CoH, Vulnerability, Spectral Throw, GMP.

love the build, great job

This builds looks awesome, but can this be run on a budget? like 1 ex or less?

Wouldn't culling strike on spectral be better than pierce as it adds more damage overall?

No, Culling Strike is 'increased', Pierce is 'more'

I'm still working on budget options. Rive, Bino's and Snakebite gloves make a very effective combo capable of running mid tier maps. Going to try Bleed on Hit rares, and just the bleed on hit passive % to see if it enough.

or this, not sure about int requirements.

This looks like an okay build til lvl ~50. It will get you to the blood reaper and wastes no points when you move from that back to dual wield rive.
It will take 6 respec points to get back to main build once the axe is available.

edit: how do those knockback nodes jive w/ flicker?
