[3.14] Bleedsplosion Bow Gladiator | League Starter | Beginner Friendly | Assailum





Shameful Plug


Intro
Spoiler

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to introduce players my take on a bleed bow character. My build guide will show you what I looked for on each individual item. I try to make my builds new player friendly so I apologize if you feel like some of the things I say is repetitive. This build is great for all content, and with the Assailum helmet the bossing will be a lot quicker although it isn't necessary.

There are 2 versions of Bleed Bow I have gone through, being:
- Pride and Cluster Jewels
- Pride and Malevolence (utilizing reduced mana reservation)

I enjoyed using cluster jewels more, becuase it was easier to manage mana and also easier to look for items.

Rain of Arrows is also a viable skill to use in stead of Split Arrow, but I find Split Arrow to be an more enjoyable playstyle.

If you have questions for me, comment on my YouTube for faster replies!

Explanation
Spoiler

Bow
Spoiler

Primary:
- [ELDER]60% chance for Bleeding inflicted with this Weapon to deal 100% more Damage
- #% increased Damage with Bleeding
Attacks have #% chance to cause Bleeding
- #% increased Physical Damage
- Adds # to # Physical Damage
Secondary:
- #% increased Attack Speed

For the Bow, the importance of mods are from top to bottom. But to get the top 2 mods on a bow it will already cost a lot.

For a budget use Lioneye's Glare.

A Citadel Elder bow ilvl 83+ is best to because Elder influence is how you can get the 100% more damage roll and Citadel Bow has the highest pDPS.

Quiver
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- [HUNTER] #% to Physical Damage over Time Multiplier
- #% to Damage over Time Multiplier
- Adds # to # Physical Damage to Attacks

Secondary:
- #% increased Attack Speed
- #% to Elemental Resistance

An ilvl 80+ Hunter bow is best because it can get damage over time multiplier. On a budget go for life and one of the damage over time multiplier. A Broadhead quiver is best for it's implicit.


Body
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance
- [WARLORD] Socketed Attacks have # to Total Mana Cost
- [CRUSADER] Enemies you Kill Explode, dealing #% of their Life as Physical Damage

Secondary:
- # to Armour
- # to Evasion
- #% increased Armour
- #% increased Evasion

For the body armour, Warlord is best for the reduced mana cost. Crusader explosion is a little overkill because we already have it but if you don't want the warlord mod, then explode is next best.

Many other mods like +# to Level of Socketed Active Skill Gems is good, but I much prefer the mana cost reduction for this build, that way we can reserve more mana and not have to worry.

On a budget get high life and res, and worry about getting a 6 link before trying to get the warlord mod.


Helmet
Spoiler

I highly recommend using Assailum, Sinner Tricorne because the single target DPS is amazing, charging a shot is quick, stronger than a 6 Link, and you will not have to worry about getting 2 6 links on this build!

But, before you get yourself an Assailum, here is what you should get:
Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance

Secondary:
- # to Armour
- # to Evasion
- #% increased Armour
- #% increased Evasion

Helmet Enchant:
- Dash has +2 Cooldown Uses
- Split Arrow fires 3 additional Projectiles
- 40% increased Split Arrow Damage
- 40% increased Puncture Damage
- 45% increased Puncture Duration


Gloves
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance
- [ELDER/HUNTER]#% to Physical Damage over Time Multiplier

Secondary:
- #% increased Attack Speed
- # to Armour
- # to Evasion
- #% increased Armour
- #% increased Evasion


Boots
Spoiler

Primary:
- #% increased Movement Speed
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance
- [HUNTER] Bleeding you inflict deals Damage #% faster

Secondary:
- # to Armour
- # to Evasion
- #% increased Armour
- #% increased Evasion


Amulet
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance
- [ELDER/HUNTER] #% to Physical Damage over Time Multiplier

Secondary:
- Adds # to # Physical Damage to Attacks
- # to Attributes
- #% increased Armour Rating
- #% increased Evasion Rating
- #% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Mana
- #% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Mana


Ring
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance
- [WARLORD] Curse Enemies with Level # Vulnerability on Hit (Only 1 Ring)
- [CRAFT] Non-Channelling Skills have # to Total Mana Cost
- #% increased Damage with Bleeding
#% increased Bleeding Duration

Secondary:
- Adds # to # Physical Damage to Attacks
- #% increased Attack Speed
- # to Attributes


Belt
Spoiler

Primary:
- # to maximum Life
- #% to Elemental Resistance

Secondary:
- # to Attributes
- #% increased Flask Effect Duration

Ryslatha's Coil Studded Belt is what you want, but is expensive. Use Stygian Vise with decent rolls until you get the currency!





Bandits
Spoiler

Kill All!


Leveling
Spoiler

Split Arrow - Chance to Bleed - Pierce - Onslaught

Puncture - Chance to Bleed - Maim

While leveling you will want you chance to bleed to get to 100% ASAP. After 100% chance to bleed it does nothing.

When taking passive tree, you can grab the chance to bleed node on Bloodletting to boost your bleed, then take it off once you get over 100%.



Ascendancy
Spoiler

Gladiator

1. Blood in the Eyes
2. Gratuitous Violence
3. Arena Challenger
4. Outmatch and Outlast



Pantheon
Spoiler

Major: Soul of Lunaris

Minor: Soul of Ralakesh

P.S. This is players choice and not mandatory. If you like something else, then go for it!


Pros/Cons
Spoiler

+ Easy/Fast Leveling
+ Not Unique Dependent (except if you use Assailum)
+ League Start friendly
+ Off screen clearing
+ BLEEDSPLOSION!
- Expensive Bow
- Cannot do Phys Reflect maps

Hey there. The Guide is exactly what is was looking for. Many thanks! :)

One Question tho. You say that you prefer to play with Cluster Jewels but your PoB uses only one Medium. Is that correct?

Isn't iLvl 83 the minimum to get the Elder bleed roll?
As we're having a open slot for a six link bcs of the bow with some gem swapping to boots gloves ect is it possible to go for a kaoms for the huge life pool it's offering?

You're right, made the change!
Hello, I decided to try your build, the damage completely suits me, but what to do with survivability? Sometimes I just don’t have enough reaction to click on a life flask, they kill me with one blow. Maybe I did something wrong? Tell me if you have such an opportunity. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to indicate in Path of Building at what levels you choose which skills?
For example a tree of lvl 1 - 20, lvl 20 - 30, lvl 30 - lvl 40, etc.
It would make it easier to understand which nodes to get first.
Thank you for the work nonetheless :D
