[2.5] Gladiator Dual Wield Lacerate Poison/Bleed Build with Dual Curses
|
I've put together a Gladiator build that I'd like to get some feedback on before I go leveling up a 4th character this league.
Overview The general idea is a Lacerate build that poisons using Cospri's Will. Main hand uses a sword for damage (only main hand will be used due to offhand being a claw) while the off-hand is using Advancing Fortress for the block, dual wield bonuses (more attack speed/damage), as well as being able to use Whirling Blades for movement/fortify. Damage mitigation is through 50%+ block/spell block and a high life pool (201% on the tree with 5 Jewel slots for a potential 236%) mostly.
Skills
Gem Setup
Main Attack 6L -> Lacerate -> Multistrike -> Melee Physical Damage -> Added Fire Damage -> Faster Attacks -> Increased Area of Effect/Concentrated Effect (swap in conc for bosses) Auras Herald of Ash, Herald of Ice, Blasphemy -> Vulnerability CWDT Cast When Damage Taken -> Enfeeble -> Immortal Call -> ? Golem Summon Chaos Golem -> Minion Damage -> Minion Life -> Minion and Totem Elemental Resists Whirling Blades Whirling Blades -> Faster Attacks -> Ancestral Warchief -> Fortify (from Advancing Fortress) Extras Riposte -> Vengeance -> Melee Physical Damage

Equipment
Cospri's Will - We use this so we can always poison and so we can double curse (one aura, one CWDT). Advancing Fortress - As mentioned above, for the block, fortify, dual wield bonuses, and whirling blades. High Physical DPS 1h Sword - Thrusting Sword? Does Weapon Range affect Lacerate? Rumi's Concoction Flask - Extra Block + Phys damage reduction So, I need thoughts and opinions on this. Do I have enough defenses (with flask should be near max block/spell block)? With a 250-300 pdps sword, will this have enough damage for fast clears? What about boss viability? Last bumped on Jan 9, 2017, 9:23:44 AM

I like the idea. Had a 6s5L Cospri's so I might give this a go in BHC.
What do you think about going for Outmatch and Outlast rather than Gratuitous Violence and running Warlord's Mark on the Blasphemy and AA instead of HoI for HC? Might be gimping the damage too much though... but frenzy charges would be nice. | |

So, I actually decided against actually doing this build and I'm currently attempting a quad curse occultist poison EK right now instead. If anyone does try this out... let me know how it does!

Short update:
I am running this build on BHC. Currently level 83 and have done up to un id'd T9 maps. Pretty easy so far. Have tanked all breach lords when they appear in a breach so far except Chayula (just because he hasn't showed up). I made a few changes: I run AA+HoA+Warlord's Mark on Blasphemy and Witchfire Brew This means that I get Endurance Charges, so I specced into those. I also use Blood Rage for Frenzy charges and specced into two of those. This boosted my dps a bit. I also went for Outmatch and Outlast rather than Violent Retaliation. To be honest, I feel like the poison from Cospri's is not doing much so I have been contemplating switching it out and using a Doedre's ring for dual cursing. I routinely forget to switch in Conc effect in my 5L... but bosses still die pretty fast. |
