[3.2+] Explosive Cleave / Lacerate Gladiator. Insane Clear Speed, Solid Defenses and Budget

"

Do u use cleave or lacerate?
Do u use threshold jewel(cleave)?It gives u almost permanenet fortify and massive aoe.
Do u use CWDT enfeeble set up?
Do u use defensive flasks rumi/lions roar/-20% phys damage one? Legacy rumi's is BiS, but i am fine just by using normal one.Lion's roar is probably BiS if u are using lacerate.
My current flask set up:

Witchfire is my personal choise, i feel myself safe enought to not to run a -20% phys flask in 5th slot like i used before.
Do u know how waterways boss works? he becomes immune for a few secs then he explodes for rly high damage.
Use enduring cry if u think map is hard enought, keeping that 22% phys resist up.
Do u use instant recovery/50% more rec flasks? they save ur life a lot.
I did red maps with soul taker/jack the axe combo and w/o legacy gear, my current gear is far more comfartable to play.
I feel like u are doing something wrong, this build isnt dying to oneshots but to Volatile mobs in overmoded hightier maps, u should be safe enought even in t15 breaches(doubt i ever died in breach with this build).Maybe ur dps is low enought to clear packs/u are getting stunned and etc.
I had no problems with any t15 but dark forest, since rigwald vulnerable only when he spam wolves, and he does insane ammount of damage with it.
Abyss/Coloseum is a joke u can easily facetank both.
Core is okay,On maligaro u burst him down asap, On shavrone u have to kill her fast, but avoid hiting her when she has her reflect up, Doedre is stupid, On Malacai u have to move fast and dodge the mace slam, he wont be able to oneshot u with anything else, kill Piety asap so she wont spam the area witht those lightning vortex things, so u dont get permastunned, at phase 2, its even easier,his oneshotting ability is super slow, and only a goat wont dodge it.
Ovegrown is okay, but there are different warband memebers, and different tactics to kill both.

And about general map mods:
avoid increased fire/cold/ligh combined with extra life/added damage/-% all res/vulnerability at red maps, since Volatile rares will simply one shot u with their corpse, i normal mod maps its fine.
Temp chains combined with chilled ground(well it fucks almost any build, even thou we are super fast, believe u dont wanna combine those)
Less block is anoying but doable, getting into breaches at those maps are pretty hard thou.
Ele reflect is doable if u turn anger/herlad, but u gonna lose a lot of damage, u still can turn them on on boss.
Phys reflect is no, same as blood magic.Single reflect mobs are no problem, we dont crit.
No life/man reg are no problem to be fair, unless combined with desecrated ground.
Thats pretty much it/

Weird gem setup you have there: ancestral protector is an "Attack" type gem, you can cast it for free. So put leap slam setup to axe. Moreover why do you have "Blood magic support" in your cast when damage taken setup?

Now just a general question to everyone: how do you afford legacy items? I mean I am level 87, I have like 1 exalt and ~150 chaos and I cant afford any of the legacy versions. And you are sitting with 3 relics?

i have done hydra and phönix so far, chimera is kinda tricky because his adds hit like a truck, wil try it with better mods, trying minotaur today.

did all t15 maps, core twinned, died few times but dodge-able

normal atziri was easy, farmed uber lab for enchant, no problems with that

Also specced into unwavering stance, its pretty much needed. I also use winterheart gold amulett for chill immunity. im sitting on 6k life to survive volatile but here and there it gets you-

will replace one life flask with chill for shock or taste of hate
