Currently lvl 20 killing everything in 1-3 hits
Using a tabula with as main dmg:

Puncture - Life On Hit - Chance to bleed (for 15% dmg against bleeding targets) - Melee splash - added fire dmg

If Theres anyone out there that would like to help me please respond or sent me a pm!
Thank you! GL & HF



PS. Sry for no POB link or anything as I am a tad bit new on these forums :)

You are misinformed when it comes to bleeding. Bleedbuilds are stronger than ever, thanks to the Crimson Dance keystone (the one you did not pick!!), example build here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1951094


Do you want to keep using Puncture? Every physical skill is viable as a Bleed-Skill thanks to the Gladiator Ascendancy. Gratuitous Violence + Blood in the Eyes = 50%, Chance to Bleed = 80%. Any weapon nodes and you are at 100% chance to bleed. Here lies the crux of your build: Using Puncture means you don't need the Gladiator Ascendancy. You are already at 100% bleed chance. If you want to use Puncture I suggest a different Ascendancy. If you want a Gladiator, just use a different skill.

Regardless, your skill tree is all over the place. You definitely want the Crimson Dance keystone. You don't want as much leech as you have, it's overkill. Check the build I linked for a skill tree, yours should look very similar.

As for your skill setup: Do not use Life on Hit, you do want damage sockets in your main setup. Do not use Added Fire damage. Your bleed scales off your PHYSICAL damage, adding Fire damage does not scale your bleeding at all. Gems to consider are Melee Physical Damage (must have) Brutality, Ruthless, Faster Attacks and Multistrike

Thank you for that! I'll check it out - current gems are merely just a setup as i lvl but I'll switch em out in due time! Thank you for the reply tho!

Do you know if this would Work with Reave instead then?
Thank you for the answer btw :)

Yes this would absolutely work with Reave

sounds interesting, i'll try it

Actually build you posted have so low bleed dps, that is is not even worth mentioning (7,3k x 8 bleed vs. 480k hit dmg) (6 stages dps). I have not found any build really using bleed as main dps source, except my own build.
