Hi Wrecker_of_Days,


Firts of all my thanks to you for sharing this awesome build. I came back to PoE after over 1year and luckily could manage to respec my only char, an outdated max block gladiator, to your build.

After getting back feeling with the game (so many new contents), i started to work toward min-maxing my char a bit, as it is the only one i play. I write to you asking for advices on how to further improve.

My gear:

Spoiler

First, as i lacked damage, i switched to the setup suggested in the previous thread by a guy, using impresence and vulnerability curse (very effective setup imho). Then, after reaching lvl 20 on gems i traded them to vendors to get 20% quality, to further increase damage output. Are there other ways to add more? Except buying a better weapon with 180+% increased phys :-P

About defences: even if i reach max block and elementals are over 120% each, i still get one-shot here and there. I could achieve more life pool with 6-link belly, but i don't have the currency yet. And i'm confused about the pantheon. Which are the best choices there, and should we complete the souls of our choice by capturing every minor soul?

Last thing: in the passive tree, as i completed the main path, i started walking towards jewels nodes, to put the remaining points (i plan to level the char even more, now is lvl 91). Is this the correct choice or should we focus on more useful nods? Which one should we work towards?

Again, my thanks to you for your kind advices, and have a nice (quarantined) day :-D

Hey just started the league using this build and it's awesome! Thanks for the build.
One question I have is related to movement, for re-positioning purposes, builds usually allow teleport/dash in the build, but i don't see one here. Is there a suggestion if I want to implement a movement skill in the build - how would you do it to maximize utilization of already utilized nodes, etc without losing too much dps?

My tankiest character ever... he dies so rarely that I am surprised each and every time he actually does, that it is even possible :D

I need your advice for the ring I am about to craft for him:

There is still one prefix slot open and the crafting bench offers me three options that all look useful to me:

- add (5-7) - (8 - 10) physical damage to attacks

- 17 - 20 % increased damage

- non-channeling skills have -9 - -8 to mana costs

Which one would have the bigger effect, the % damage or the 5 - 10 damage? Would either of them apply to the triggered skills as well?

The reduced mana costs look nice as well. My blade storm in a 6-link costs 33 mana and I have only 95 left unreserved. From time to time the poor chap complains that "his spirit is spent".

That's him.

Had a lot of fun with this build in 3.9 so I am going to see how I do with it in 3.10. Looking forward to diving back in again as soon as the console servers come back online.

Hopefully with all this free time I suddenly find myself having (for the obvious reason) I should be able get this up and running fairly easily so maybe push for more achievements this league.

Thank you as always for the work you put in to your guides it's always appreciated.

Awesome Caligula_Exile!

I'm glad you're enjoying the build so much! That's awesome.

Nice ring! I'd personally go with the added physical damage. All the modifiers that you listed that you're choosing between are global. So they'll all apply to all your triggers as well. I think you'd get a bigger damage increase adding flat damage to all the increased damage % we have on the tree.

Thank you very much, that helped a lot!

I'm very content with the ring now:

And, on top, the flat physical damage was the cheapest solution, only two chaos spheres :)

The next item I am looking for is Warlord-influenced gloves. They can have the affix "culling strike". I think global culling strike for the attack skills, the trigger skills and tempest shield would have an exciting impact on the the overall killspeed.

Have a good time, everyone, stay safe and take care of each others.
