Solving all the issues for the Bleed SST Gladiator!

Sorry for the reupload, there was a rendering issue that went unnoticed and took a while to troubleshoot. -skryah

"Oh God he has awakened deadly ailments, the bastard."😂

Yes please include basic info on scaling defenses and damage. It's like my third league and I got so much value out of my guide for this league explaining how the build initially scaled with added fire damage and then crit damage once you get a source of brittle (Expl Trap). It really, really helped me out. Also understanding my defenses, because I had never played a trickster before.

Ziz laughing to himself that people playing his build never bothered to ever read the skill they are using. 0:44

Definitely add scaling offense section to every build. But also defense + give players recommended atlas mechanics to pair with the build (pretty please)

Is this POB missing armour and boots or am I missing something? Thanks for the help.

For the "aura check" I started using some big mtx for the aura like the bubble effect or the legion effect

Normally I don't copy builds, especially from popular streamers, but I did this time just because of how nice this looked with a skill and archetype I never played much before. I wanted a really clean league start this time and it has worked out very well and is fun to play. Coming from an SSF player btw. Hilariously, on day 2 I dropped a ryslathas coil from an early unique map. Amazing luck for me. The build did not require this at all, but having that now is a huge boost and nice step into transferring to other builds later on. Damage still needs work, but I am only on a 5 link still, not much to complain about except regenerating expedition monstrosities I have no chance of killing, lol. Lovin this league. It's about time the meta got a nice shakeup.

@Zizaran You don't need to use the block on the chest, just get a few block tattoos.

Ziz baited me masterfully

Thanks for the update! My 3rd proper league and I had much fun till now, hope this is even better for my progression.

What is better in your opinion to play in sc for main ability Lacerate or shield throw ?

The text of the skill does not exclude the fact that you can put armor and evasion on the shield, and the damage will rise. It just doesn't explicitly says so.

could Victario Acuity amulet and a (5-10)% increased Damage per Power Charge on helm work for more dmg ? in case u can't get a good amulet and helm ?

for some reason my pob says 68/65 as well, but 68/61 in game

Been wondering whether the double block of "More than Skill" is possible to drop for "Weapon Master" for the Ascendancy. With axes, that's an extra 30% damage for all enemies under half health.

How does SST compare to lacerate? I’m running lacerate right now but SST looks great

I think someone needs to put out a video, or link it to me if it exists, that goes over easily overlooked effects of skill gems. I think a lot of people just get a general understanding of what a skill is trying to do, and then don't actually read the text explaining it's effects. For example, I didn't know for the longest time that purity of elements grants ele ailment immunity. I'm pretty sure it didn't used to, but I couldn't tell you when that was added.

Im using the original lacerate of hemorraage you linked at the start of the league and i got lacerate of hemorraage at 50, using pride and vitslity with blood magic though puts me at 1500 hp which is scary. Is this build still safe or is everyone changing it up

I get following a build guide if you don't know exactly what you're doing, but still... but to not do anything on their own, not even to look at the skills they use to know what they do is pretty crazy.
