Hi! Cool looking build! I do have a couple of questions before I try to jump in. Are the gems shown in the gear previews the actual ones we’re using? I play on PS4 and don’t have a computer, so no POB for me.

Also, is the passive tree the same no matter which skill you choose between Cyclone or Bladestorm?

I really like the idea of bleed explosions and high block chance, so this could be exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

Use the skill gems shown in the written or in the video guide (https://youtu.be/HLrvwiGWegU). Yes the passive skill tree is the same for all three skills but I would recommend to use Cyclone because it is really OP this league.

Another question from a noob here...how/when do I use the stone golem. Same for the Ancestral Warchief. Do I just drop those on bosses at the start of the fight?

I appreciate you/someone else taking the time to answer my questions. Your build looks awesome!

You should try to always cast the stone golem when it dies. I kinda did not use Ancestral Warchief... only the vaal ancestral warchief which is mainly for bosses and though enemies.

Awesome, thank you! I’m definitely gonna be switching my current character over to this build. It looks super awesome. One last question (for now)....are there any unique alternatives to the rare items you’ve listed? I’m gonna use Scaeva for now until I can afford better rare swords. I’m not sure how exactly it works, but could Abyssus work in the head slot since we will be blocking most hits anyway?

Thanks for the awesome build guide and for taking the time to answer what are probably stupid questions!

Scaeva swords should be decent... in the guide also listed a few alternatives weapons. Abyssus will increase your dps but once you don't block a high dmg hit you probably will be dead :P

hey what about the Ryslatha belt? I dont get this minmum/maximum attack damamge roll, but my paper dps increases a lot!

thx

Not quiet sure about this one tbh. Normally this should only be good for bleed builds I guess but our belt slot does not give too much dps so it easy to increase the dps on that slot.

I'm currently trying out this build and curious about why The Peregrine Visored Sallet isn't considered as a viable lvling helmet for this build? (I'm on ps4)

I did not mention it but it is a good leveling unique.

My PS4 build off this guide is a beast! I only did a couple of different slight changes:
dual Scaeva Unique Gladius' (Absolutely no need for mana flask, unless your just spinning for no reason.)
Couple of Passive adds.
I do have 2 Foils which give me 100/99% Impale without the gem, but I drink mana flask a lot with them. Even with a ton of Mana leech.
(I'm still newish and don't know how to transfer all my stats/Equipment from PS4 to here to show my build) But I'm doing nice clear speeds on all maps.
The Pale Court (once I figured out the mechanics without watching a youtube vid) was super quick and easy.
I think it's time to do Elder's and see how that goes.

Thanks for the great Guide bashtart!!

Yo bashart tks, do think axe build soul taker would be viable ?

Hi !
Having had a lot of fun with your build last season, I've decided to use it as a league starter for Blight. I would, however, like to switch over to blade flurry as my main dps skill. Would you have ideas/insights as to what changes would be necessary to make it good ?
Thanks :)
