Here’s an early look at the Gladiator Ascendancy in Path of Exile: Legion!

Sad that Violent retaliation still can crash the game even in delve.
In order to get rid of clearspeed meta cap global movement speed at 100% but make all skills instant so everything feels great.
Is see Arena Challenger node as a QoL option to stack Crimson Dance faster.
I guess Gladiator will be bleed focussed for an unforeseen amount of time and there are changes for bleed incoming in the next patch(es).
Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

This isn't complicated, 85% chance to block 100% of the damage, or you take the keystone and 85% chance to block 50% of the damage. Which is better?

Keystone is for people with no block investment, not for people with easy cap


As I said, only if it ignores block cap. If it doesnt, its shit node no one will pick.

Not even if it ignores Block cap. It's like you are so focused on those magical "one-shots" that mostly only exist in your head. Actual reality looks a lot different. There are very few cases of actual one-shots.


Few cases of one-shots? LMAO. If you die to other things that one-shot in PoE maybe you should get better build.

I mean... the more stuff I read from you, the more I wonder how much actual game knowledge you possess. Looks to me you are just someone who plays a lot but has no actual clue of what's happening.

Most of the big one-shot skills are heavily telegraphed, ranging from Shaper's slam to exploding Wetas to any other red map boss.

Go and watch all the "one-shot" RIP videos. The only legitimate one-shot I recall to have seen was a video of a Betrayal archer one-shotting a player with no Chaos res. And those guys use Scourge Arrow and this was before the alleged nerf.


Maybe play more instead watching other people play then.

Top notch argument. You sure showed me there. Thanks for proving my point, since apparently you seem to never have anything actually useful to add to a conversation.


You welcome.

Heart of the duelist

Double your crit chance against bleeding enemies.
Double your block chance against blinded enemies.
10% chance to block
You take no extra damage from critical strikes.
You cannot use your offhand.



Beautiful. I would tweak it a little bit and say swap '10% chance to block' with 'Culling strike if you have bleeding on the target' aggressive approach or 'Targets bleeding deal 10 % less damage to you' defensive approach.

BOOM.

You would not ever, ever take that jewel on a Glad. Unless for some specific meme reasons.

The whole point of Block is to take as little average damage as possible. As a Glad you have no problems capping Block for both attacks and spells, thus taking that jewel would instantly undermine the entire Ascendancy. Blocked hits deal no damage, but with that jewel you always take half the damage anyway.


You are wrong. In PoE the only thing that can kill you are oneshots. What is the only thing that can save you from oneshots? Damage reductions, NOT BLOCK. If the new block node ignore block cap and lets you have damage reduction for 100% of the time its literally the best node that there is for Gladiator.

Since the new node says nothing about ignoring block cap, why would you assume it lets you ignore block cap?

If it lets you ignore block cap it is the most overpowered defensive mechanic that has ever existed in PoE, by a very long way. I think it would be a faulty assumption to make.

Yea, I don't get that one either. I see this sort of statement again and again. What do they know that we don't ?
