[3.2+] Explosive Cleave / Lacerate Gladiator. Insane Clear Speed, Solid Defenses and Budget
Going to drop all my currency on a good Soultaker + Voidheart + Scaeva + a bunch of regrets this weekend (the former 2 are the expensive bits).
Thinking of taking the points I save from axe nodes and using them on the bleed nodes around duelist. Going to drop gratuitous violence for versatile combatant and try to get as much block as I can through jewels and the like. Will report back with results.

"This is my rough plan. It leaves points open as I didn't go to 100 with it, not exactly sure what I will need by that point. It leaves the option open to grab more damage, the 16 AR gem slot you took in your original, or more life from the rectangle. As for Soul Taker, I really like it but so far, Warlords+Blasphemy is keeping mana pretty solid. Added HoA with it last night and was able to sustain without using a pot as long as I had mobs to kill. Max dps for a ST is 295 pDPS and there have been several swords/axes on trade with 300-375 pDPS for the same 3 exalt cost.

On a different note, has anyone tried poison support instead of Added Fire? I had my BoR colored for it but then realized when I hit 67 that I couldn't buy Poison from the vendor. Had a guildy buy it for me on his shadow but I had already re-chromed to added fire.
Edit: I may test Poison on standard to see what it changes for the better or the worse. Pretty sure I have a leveled one there. Did some comparison on axe nodes vs. sword. Axe wheel = 9 points. 147% increased phys with axes. 9% AS. 10% Onslaught chance. Sword wheel = 7 points(last 2 are not efficient). 96% increased phys with swords. 16% AS. 5% bleed chance. If you want to spend 9 vs 9. There are 2 places you can gain 24% increased phys to any weapon for 2 points. Dernière édition par 13isLucky#3119, le 10 juin 2016 09:30:11

New poster but have been playing this build in PSC and have a slight variation. First of all, I use the Jack/Soul Taker/BoR combo with Lacerate. Tool tip unbuffed is 15.7k. With Hatred, HoA, and Arctic Armor it is 21.3k. I have only gotten 4 ascendancy points and they are in Outmatched and Gratuitous. There is no quality on any of my gems. Here is where I make my change.
I am not one for IC so instead I four-linked my gloves and went with Ancestral Warchief linked with Increased AOE, Melee splash and Culling Strike. All buffed this is an additional 10k of damage from the totem and adds another 3k to my own tooltip damage (16% more melee damage from a lvl 18 gem with no quality). I toss the totem, which draws the attack (and attacks on its own about 3 times per second) then pound them with lacerate as they approach the totem. Since I also wear a Pyre ring, everything explodes into a pretty red mist as it is culled. Bonus, nothing get rejuvenated. At lvl 80, I cruise through Tier 8 maps but have not had a chance to run higher maps (cuz I have not yet found one). I am considering swapping the increased AOE gem with an item rarity gem for mapping but that's for another story. Anyhow, great build. Lots of fun. You have all done a masterful job of making something easy to play. Keep up the great work. |

" I haven't but I think using that new voidheart ring might be the best solution. Gets us poison, 100% bleed (instead of 25%), and the remaining stats on it aren't HORRID, not the best, but not horrid. |
|
"I definitely have it in my sights, they are a bit pricey already converted. Hoping I get the prophecy so that I can convert one up. Will have to juggle resists around but I think it will probably be worth it. |
|
" Hello, Can you really confirmed that the axe passive apply to both axe? Kinda have arguement with guildies. For example, There a note that has 16% physical + 8% as to axe, will it double like 32 + 16% when wearing 2 axes? |
|
"I can't beyond trying to find two identical dps/as sword and an axe. Based on the fact that Varunastra multi dips, I am under the assumption that 2x axe/sword/mace all work the same within their class unless it is a specific MH/OH stat. There is probably something that addresses it in the Mechanics Thread. I haven't looked in there in a while though. |

that really start to annoye me :(
i like the axe-sword setup since i can use whirling blade and it feel great with lacerate but it seem to kill my dmg....i should reach 20k when i got my soul taker (fully buffed) and i dont think i can reach 25k.... i can go axe-axe but i have to use leap and it doesnt feel that great with lacerate, cleave feel better and now i can jump my dps pretty hight (i could reach 100k). the clear speed might be slower because of cleave.the survavibility might also be lower since i lose the 8% block from the sword and im fully meele with cleave. i could stay axe-axe and using lacerate but like i said, it feel a bit weird with leap. its much harder to position myself and i need to jump right in the mobs to get fortify while i can just pass true pack with whirling blade.... so...its going axe-sword in range with much lower dmg and higther survavibility or axe-axe with cleave for real hight dmg, slower clear speed and a bit less survavibility, full meele or going axe-axe with lacerate+leap wich didnt go that well together..... |
