[3.2+] Explosive Cleave / Lacerate Gladiator. Insane Clear Speed, Solid Defenses and Budget
|
I'm thinking really hard about the choices of mana reservation... to me using Vulnerability with blasphemy seems way stronger than hatred (or the combination of herald and arctic armour) since it will be double dipping (increased physical dmg = more dmg per hit + more bleeding damage + more Explosion damage // increased damage done with DoT-effects = even more bleeding damage).
One could even Experiment with running just a blasphemy + haste and then use a poison Support with cleave instead of added fire damage to make more use of the insane attack Speed. Ofc going with a blasphemy Setup it is hard to reserve ALL mana which might some of it leave wasted... then again we might be able to drop all the blood Magic gems and use something different. Blasphemy 35% Hatred/haste 50% = 85% no 15% Reservation =/ Blasphemy 35% Herald 25% arctic armour 25% = 85% again Maybe double curse? Blasphemy Vuln. 35% Blasphemy warlords 35% arctic/herald 25% = 95% But worth it? What do you guys think about the Options? Last edited by SumoFlorist on Mar 6, 2017, 6:04:08 AM

" I tested Chaos and Poison before and it didn't quite cut on the fire (mainly due to the overkill from Herald of Ash) Blasphemy and Vulnerability I will have to try but the Hatred is almost mandatory for the cold damage with Soul Takers chill. If you get some mana reservation jewels or Enlighten Level 4 you could drop in an extra aura or add it on Blood Magic if you have your life above 6500. I make odd builds and sometimes write guides.
My updates and other junk are at https://www.youtube.com/user/Psywearebabylon Been playing since before Atziri so got maybe 1% of the games intricacies learnt. Only 4 million more hours playing to be classed as a rank amateur :D |

" What about a 4L like this: Leap slam - Faster Attacks - Curse on Hit - vulnerability? Dont really need fortify in leap slam since cleave perma fortifies with the threshold jewel. |

When I get setup I will give it a try and do a comparison.

Would it make sense to take the fortify buffs at the beginning of the tree for the physical damage buff and defensive buff (hardcore) since we have near 100% uptime of fortify? Also seems to make more sense than taking axe damage early considering you may or may not have found a decent axe early game.

What do you think of using The Perfect Form as a chest piece as a budget option vs a BoR, Blind doesn't seem that useful since you're going armor, and with perfect form you'll have free spelldodge.
What order would you get your ascendancy in? Spellblock doesn't seem too great since you'll only get around 30% instead of block cap |

" Personally I go Outmatch and Outlast Gratuitous Violence Painforged Versatile Combatant for a hybrid of block and damage. Outmatch I go for Frenzy to compensate for lower levels til BoR I make odd builds and sometimes write guides.

" As he said you need to link flame golem with blood magic to actually be able to cast it. He can "cast" attacks without mana because of the unique axe("Soul taker"). The idea is that you reserve all your mana (with hatred, herald, AA) and then you basically use all attack gems for free, however flame golem isnt an attack type gem, so you cast it using blood magic. The item setup he has in Standart/Perandus league does not match the recommendet gem setup. So just keep that in mind. | |
