Post and explain your SST build

So with all the revamps now out, what do you plan on doing?

I'll quote myself from Reddit :
"
If you get anything concluant in PoB, ideally cheap, i'm interested. Only had shit cf. my comment elsewhere :
> Wanted to do a Gladiator SST, but damages are so low :/. 38k shaper dps with cheap stuff, 62k if i activate point blank <10m and blocked an unique recently. It doesn't include the explosion but still, would require 3 times the damages to be viable.

Obviously Gladiator isn't really a good choice for damages. But i thought maybe i could manage something decent enough, apparently not. I chose it because our damages come from the shield so i was thinking "no limitation from the 1h weapon dps o/", rip me. I liked this build (JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank) back 1+ year ago but while it was amazing for its survivability, damages were also trash.
The current setup in PoB is for bosses (there would be fork instead of slower proj otherwise for instance), just tried to see what i would get as shaper dps which is a nice indicator of a build being viable or not. Ideally you want at least 300k shaper dps. Now as a gladiator it could be lower but with what i was able to get with my build in PoB, i think the minimum is double the dps, requiring way more than cheap stuff, or my build is trash, that could be the case too (for instance i think block recovery is useless since we can't be stun with hits we block, it saves 3 passive points, just need a better rumi). I'm very curious to see others builds with this skill. If someone succeed to get something strong damages wise.

Edit : Latest version (PoB link). I think it might be good with proper stuff. Only cheap gear in there, excluding 6l but i didn't have issue fusing them in the last few leagues. Shaper dps <10m is 110k. Accounting the explosion it should be around 190k (+75%), but i guess the explosion will not work for single target :/.
Edit² : Added the Lightning golem and Frost bomb w/ increased duration on it and ancestral protector. But even then the duration of frost bomb isn't that great. Probably annoying to maintain on bosses.
