[2.3] Bleeding/Poison EQ Gladiator -- Budget, Tanky, Reflect Proof! -- T15 Core Down!
" Both getting and fulfilling this prophecy need quite some RNG.... It needs you to kill one of the Beyond bosses (Bameth), it will take you some beyond maps until you finally get him. |
|
" And then you find him when you really don't want to - like 3 times in the same vulnerability + fleet map with your squishy caster... |
|
" Why less duration on the warchief? Would you not recommend knockback anymore to scale the bleeds? |
|
" Is the Bloodletting wheel really worth it? To me it seems like it is inefficient for the points spent. I also question the point of Unwavering Stance when you're looking at 7k+ life and 75% phys reduction from armor/end charges. I dropped it and haven't had a problem at all. It also gives the option of using a Stibnite for the smoke cloud. I also really dislike the Lust for Carnage wheel, its 2 dead points for some leech. My suggestion would be to drop your current route from Duelist to Marauder and go around the outside as follows:

This gives access to Hematophagy, which is vastly superior to Lust for Carnage, giving a whole 1% more leech, as well as damage. As I'm using mace, I'd move Bloodletting points into the 3 points to Skullcracking, 52% increased phys triple-dipping for the initial hits, bleeds & poisons. At higher levels it also gives the option to move into Rampart. Finally, I'm really torn over the last 2 ascendancy points and am simply burning regrets as I can't make my mind up. Blood in the Eyes seems the least RNG and most stable choice, but does anyone else have a definitive opinion on the matter? Last edited by Lylz#6536 on Jun 14, 2016, 7:47:26 AM

" i bought the prophecy (on SC) for 15c and the base item for 1c and got bahmeth from global 820 it's much cheaper than buying it (~40-45c at the time i got it) |

Great guide and build.
I'm currently level 80 in the Hardcore Prophecy League Changed a few gems around so I can dual curse with my corrupted Anvil. This is my current setup.

Resists was a pain too when using The Anvil & Voidheart. How would you guys set this up to run dual curse & Grace? Would you change anything in my setup?

I switched to mace and it is awesome. Breath of the council is so cheap.
|

is leveling with 2h best?

" I mean this is quite an interesting build, but do you actually notice the poison doing much? From what i've seen EQ does most of the damage, with the remaining dying off soon after. Any chance you'd do a video? like to see it compare. Last edited by kallell#0789 on Jun 14, 2016, 2:12:02 PM

Has anyone thought of using cherrubim's maleficence for this build? Minor chaos damage bonus, good life and as good armour/evasion as you can get without a GG rare. But you get the big life leech rate boost, and it's dirt cheap. Obviously would need to get capped resists from elsewhere.
