[2.3] Bleeding/Poison EQ Gladiator -- Budget, Tanky, Reflect Proof! -- T15 Core Down!

What do you guys think about dropping deter or grace aura and getting 2nd curse - Temp Chains for huge bleed/poison duration? Should be really big boost on boses

can i do this build with dual weaporn ?

I'm currently levelling a character of this build...I wanna ask the people talking about dual curse...how are you enabling 2nd curse? Boots? Surely not Whispers of Doom?

Doedre damning ring or vaaled amulet +1 curse

Right guys, thanks. So far build seems great, props to the OP!

I'm running this in Prophecy - it's going great, one of the safest but still strong builds I have played.
Not ran any very high maps, apart from a wasteland to try it out, which was fine. Done a few Atziri runs too, the easiest I've ever had with a melee character. I was outleaching a double ball lightning attack from the vaals and facetanked the trio. Atziri I facetanked everything apart from the double flameblast. That was at lvl 73 too.
Every lab was pretty easy - even uber izaro, though I didn't let him keep his buffs.

I made a slightly leftfield choice for the chest in Cherrubim's. Has a few advantages for the build, a load of armour and evasion for IR, decent life and the boost to leech. The poison damage is aminor bonus too. Only problem with it is linking it, not very popular so you will probably have to link yourself. And if you are trying for a 6l, the 5s are hard to sell.
I Just 6 linked mine about half an hour ago after a lot of fusings!
6l isn't that big a deal on this build really though, it just makes fortify a bit easier to keep up.

My Gear




I did have a nicer helm, but put 90% tornado shot crit ennchant on it, so put it up for sale. Really want an earthquake duration enchant but they are very expensive.
Ring and boots can be improved, and the gloves maybe, but in general my gear is OK.

Will take a few more mace nodes next, then back to filling out life, maybe take another frenzy charge. My jewels are all damage/stats atm. We get plenty of life from the tree, and jewels without life are much cheaper.

Ascendancy wise, first 6 points are obvious. I debated quite a while what to take from uber lab. Decided on blood in the eyes in the end. Bleed should be upa lot more than my max endurance charges so the damage reduction will be more consistent. Maim is a strong defense mechanism too and we should have it up on most bosses/dangerous rares.

Carl

I got a 5L Lightning coil, would it be useful for this build or should I just sell it and find a better armor?


Also got this axe:


Should I stick with that or get a Breath of the Council?

@SpankyHobo

Your axe is actually pretty bad for this build because of its low dph...

Yea to get a council.

BTW, I wouldn't really recommend my self linking a cherrubim's approach unless you are a fusing fiend like me or are rich. Buying a half decent 6l base and chaosing until usable is likely to be far cheaper!
