[3.2] Bobby's Lacerate Bleed Gladiator [Budget Friendly | HC Viable | TANKY] UPDATED!

Hey Bobby, thanks for the awesome build! I've used it in the Abyss SSF and it really works nice even with the gear I've found so far.

You've been saying you've dropped Cleaving because of overcapping the chance to bleed. I'm wondering if a better approach wouldn't be to pick the whole Cleaving branch and dropping the Chance to Bleed gem, opening a socket in our 6l?

I'm currently torn between Shield Charge and Leap Slam to be honest. I'm also looking at a possibility of adding a culling strike to that 3l, which could help with Izaro and bosses.

I've reached the maps on a Tabula. I've just found (SSF) THe Bringer of Rain and I'll see how it fits to the build, as a temp item.

If you've decided to go against MoM - what would you suggest to use our mana reserves? I'm currently gaining passives quickly, but the road to MoM takes a lot of points, I might go back to it when I reach yellow/red tier maps.

Thanks again mate!
Thinking about running a raider variant of the build. What tree path would you recommend for running this as a raider?

Overall looks pretty fun, planning on running on HC. Started out with an SRS, though this looks much more fun than letting flying skulls do all the dirty work!
This build has made me excited to play POE again somehow. I was getting discouraged with some of the other builds i was trying but they just fell flat. Thanks for the awesome build :D

I actually considered doing the exact same thing (dropping the gem) but never ended up actually trying it. If you end up dropping the gem, please let me know how it turns out! Might be a great idea.

If I didn't go with MoM, I'd most likely run either Determination or Vitality (or regen is actually pretty strong, and since it's percentage-based, it'd be a big increase).

Glad you like the build man! Have fun!

Raider could be pretty cool, but it'd be vastly different than this build. If I were to go Ranger, I'd probably go with Pathfinder instead (because hipster) and do some weird flask nonsense haha.

Let me know how it turns out!

Thanks man! I'm so glad to hear that. I have a few more extremely hipster-tier builds in the works, so you can look forward to more weird nonsense for sure.

Just out of curiosity, have you managed to beat the Elder in a T7 or higher map with this build?

I've actually basically retired this character for now. I've moved onto playing AHC, as my stream prefers that. I have a few viewers that still play the build though, one of them cleared a rare twinned core solo with a full party the other day (rest of the party died, this build solo'd the bosses). I have done the Elder on this character, though I can't remember the tier (I know it was a yellow map, but I'm not sure which one).

If your goal is boss farming- this build can do it, but it isn't even remotely close to being the best at it. Just play WC Totems/GC Mines/Current Meta whatever build.

Doh, just insta-gibbed myself on a reflect map.

You could run phys reflect no problem I recall. Hmmm, must be missing something.

Yeah I've never had an issue with that. Not sure what's going on over there.
