Which gems do you prioritise for quality?

Definitely EQ.

20Q = 20% increased physical damage = insane

Been playing this in PSC, so far it's working well. The 50% bleed from Ascendancies and +8% from the bloodletting wheel appears to be enough. Will have to see if that continues beyond T4 maps that I've done so far.

Since I didn't need a bleed weapon, I picked up:



Super high damage, radius, added chaos (appears to help poison damage). Feels great.

Since I went Mace, I plan to pick up Bone Breaker and Blunt Instrument which seem pretty good.

I´m planning to go riposte/Reckoning - melee phys - stun(support) - endurance chrage on melee stun

Not sure if it´s working reliably. Trash should be ok-ish.
Bosses? We will see.

Anyone experience with this idea?

So i used this build with my first char this league and its working pretty good so far!

I started with two handed weapons, because of the damage, but now in maps i really need the shield to survive.

With all the bleeding nodes from gladiator and passive tree i have 66% chance too cause bleeding, which is enough to apply the effect almost every time.

The new totem "Ancenstral Warchief" as a 4-Link is a really nice addition to this build, because it also applies the bleed effect and the damage is huge.

Thank you for the build guide!

I have done that on other max block builds, it's good enough until you reach higher tier maps then it's not reliable enough ( by reliable i mean it's better to have it up all the time, then to have to take those inital hits and hope you block so your riposte/rekoning goes off)

Should u recommend the new released 1 handed mace: Breath of the Council for this build?

Is this build budget friendly? I would literally be starting over because I hate flameblast. How's the clearspeed? Any maps you cant do?

yea, it's very very budget. A jack axe and resist cap is enough to run any T13 maps. In the perandus flashback race, I killed T15 daresso pretty easily with jack axe (6 linked armour tho).

You can check out my video to see the clearspeed.

I still recommend 100% chance cause bleeding.
