[3.0] Death's Oath Gladiator - Pushing Limit Edition

This is a guide for TheoryCrafters and Limit Pusher

Why choosing Death's Oath (DO)?
Spoiler
In 3.0, Death's Oath grants "Grants level 20 Death Aura Skill" instead of "Deals 450 Chaos Damage per second to nearby enemies"


Why choosing Gladiator, but not Berserker or Occulist?
Spoiler
1. Berserker or Occultist has dominated the use of DO. Its' variation has been made by other players. The reason they are so popular are

*Berserker
===> higher damage output, in tooltip (40% more damage)
===> 2 sec Warcry + 25% instant Life/Mana Recover

*Occultist
===> - enemies chaos resistance
===> Chaos Inoculation

But in general, they are
=> poor in defense
=> slow clearing speed

Since Death Aura's player plays in melee range, It's easy to die no matter how amazing the life pool was

2. Gladiator, on the other, although it's weaker in damage output, it's strong in defense

*Gladiator
===> 100% block apply to spell block

Final Though
Spoiler
This build has spent all my currency in Harbinger League...... This build is a Life Killer,
CI hater (PVP). In Mapping, it has good clearing speed, but sloppy in Boss killing (I usually skip boss). In general, I have never played/owned a build like this before. It's in a state of perfect harmony - well defense and offense. Its' natural predator is DEGEN (wtf=.=)
