3.0 Builds. So i came up with a melee life build, seems decent?

2Hander damage on a 1handed sword and shield build wat ?

Build is based on bleeding and bloodlust gem. Its a crit gladiator with 74/74 block can have capped block with 1 node right next to you sacrificing 5% life. It requires a crafted dragoon sword but nothing amazing.

My goals were, does not abuse double dipping and must be life based. How am i applying bleed using the bloodlust gem ? Ripost, Reckoning, Vengeance and Shield Charge all have a 45% chance to apply bleed via 20% Dragoon Sword + 25% Haemophilia Gloves. So while white mobs will get 1 shot, rares would proc bleed via blocks and or shield charge and boss's would always be bleeding via same.

Its crit based and will take the now life only vaal pact available in 3.0

Main skill - Flicker Strike. 738k dps.
Boss killer - Viper Strike. 1.1m dps.

So some quick numbers. Remember its a 1hand sword and board life build.

Max Life 6500-7k
Armor 15k - 72% Phys Reduction
Evasion 3300 - 23% evasion chance

Block rates 74/74 spell-phys (1 node to get capped)

Life gained on block - 2200 <--- wtf lolol
lvl 30 Reckoning - 650
The Surrender - 250
lvl 20 Ripost - 720
lvl 20 Vengeance - 581



Here is a general overview of the gear you would use.

Mostly unused uniques make up the meat of the build.
Bringer of Rain, The Surrender, Perseverance, Haemophilia



Skills:
Added Fire
Bloodlust
Increased Critical Strikes
Flicker Strike / Viper Strike

Am i 3.0 ready ?

Looks good to me. You know there hundreds of life builds doing end game right? Life is criminally underrated.

Life is perfectly viable if you don't mind the occasional oneshot.

With my latest life-based char, I got instakilled by 3-4 white zombies in a T12 map at 7600 life. It had monster damage and monster speed, no other damage mods. In HC, well... I guess people will be stuck grinding blue strands?

I agree with stormy about the crit sword gladiator, seems like one of the best builds in terms of defense/offense ratio, and at a reasonable budget on top of it.

I dont run life builds w/o enfeeble on blas maybe that would help?

lvl 100 passive tree..........

Yeah............

=)

Assuming gladiator ascendancy the bleed/corpse explosion ascendancy node is a must have even with bleed gloves.

Improved the build.

edit : also what a futile exercise :/ legacy BoR would have expected you to post a build that would be new 3.0 start viable at least....

RF in 3.0 Yo gonna be guud.

IIRC there's a bleed related support gem coming and a new keystone for DOTs.

The new tree should be quite exciting for your build. :)

That is something I really wish they would post in a preview - some of their thoughts for edits to the skill tree.

What kind of gem compounds?
