Hey, thank you very much for the fast reply! This will definitely help me a lot and answered some of my questions.

Good point with the local and global stats which I will check within the forum. I have watched a Video about the Sunder Build and they talked also about the global stats which are taken by the Sunder Skill, so I will compare this with my research.
I will also try to dive a bit deeper in the PoB to understand the mechanics better. Currently, my main concern is about to get more damage as I have already spent my Skill-Points throughout the damage area. But this should more clear/plausible as higher the character lvl is, hopefully.
As flat physical damage should be "solution for every damage problem" I will focus on getting some damage rings but with the combination of Kaom's Roots, Belt of the Deceiver and Devoto's Devotion, it is not easy to get the resistance and yeah. Another topic :-)

For now, thanks again for your help and attentive manner! I’m looking forward to see your (and my) progression.

Really enjoying this build. Such a flexible tree as well once you get the core points out of the way.

Crimson Dance is awesome. Just stack up the bleeds on bosses, whirl around, and watch them die. Of course you can face tank them as well with our leech + block. It seems to me that bosses are rarely moving as well, so the no bonus damage drawback isn't a huge issue. If a boss does move often, it's incredibly easy to avoid their attacks and down them normally.

I have been playing around with PoB though, and it seems, if we REALLY want to maximize our bleed DPS maybe for a safe/reliable boss-killing setup, that we would get more damage out of a high damage, low attack speed weapon like a mace. If we don't care about how fast we can build stacks (like on a boss) then that attack speed is giving us no extra damage. We could load up the phys damage, and gain a nice chunk of damage out of it. Maybe even pop a shield on too in these scenarios.

I wouldn't do this for a map farming setup because it's pointless. Everything explodes and dies in an instant anyways.

Hi!

I also play bleed sunder, but gladiator (i like max blocks :P), but thats not the point. In my opinion you should use maim support as your 6th link, instead of ruthless. Give it a try! If i get it right maim not only increases your attack damage, but also increases physical damage TAKEN by enemies (and that includes bleeding!)*.

*Correct me if i'm wrong, please.

Best of luck and bye!

what would you tweak if i wanted to play this in HC SSF?

You could ofcourse use Maim if you'd like. It is a more-multiplier which is great, but if you really want that bonus, put it on your Ancestral Protector instead and use a real 6th link.

That's good choice... if:
-you have sockets for this (max block glad -> Bor -> no body armor, Kaom's roots -> also no sockets, i have my auras in unset rings...)
-you have int for conc effect (I went to raider area for blocks. Of course i could go to marauder's Solidity and templar's Sanctuary nodes, but if i did so, i may not have enough dexterity for gems/items, and i may still not reach 114 int for lvl 21 conc effect, so Maim was best choice for me:D )

Thx for reply, cya ingame!
