While I'm leveling my char, I talked to a friend (who now also is a agony gladiator :D) and we're talking about gear options and what would work well.

Our char doesn't need any damage at all, we only so the poison stacks and survive.

Have you heard about the belt Gluttony?.

Let me tell you, the "Take (100-200) Physical Damage when you use a Movement Skill" mod does work well with gladiator, it'll proc the Painforged 8% block chacne.

Please keep in mind, with Gluttony using cyclone isn't a good idea, we thought about Molten Strike / Shield Charge or Phase Run with flask for movement. Further enhancement with Poachers Mark on hit (also on hex proof) which means we can leave out gemini claws if we want.

As I'm in SSF I for my self don't have the belt yet, but another option would be biscos leash for Rampage.

While playing I noticed "pierce" doing one heck of a job - kinda wondering if it is better to just continue with the chromatic's until I have """at least""" 2g & 2r w/obviously 2b

I still have a bit more than 300 chroms left after borrowing some fm my brother

Thanks, very tanky and fun build (one of the best and stylish)!

Did t13,t14,uber lab,abbys lich at level 73-75 with low lvl skill gems.

I wanted to ask, is it necessary to take a fire res near to the red nightmare socked?

Usually it is enough for such gems that the point was near, but was not taken.


PS sorry for pinglish.

Hi. Thanks for the appreciation, I'm glad that you like it.

If you are able to buy a Red Nightmare then you'll get 13% block chance by picking up the fire res, which is great. I don't really see it as picking up unnecessary points as you get to pick up quite a few life nodes on the way, which is what I wanted for my last levels either way.

The big bonus of using the Red Nightmare is that you can replace Determination with Hatred, giving your crawler a nice damage upgrade. Although as you can do shaper & über atziri (and possible even über elder) with the determination setup it's not anything you really need to get.
