What about just going culling strike ? seems like its still 38% and the cull is always nice

1. Increase damage ≠ more
2. Not buff bleed

I might go that route as it would allow me to use Soul Taker and Hypothermia without the 80% nerf to hit damage.

Being able to slow, freeze and cull enemies would add another layer of defense to our build.

What about add Corrupting Fever to the build? I think it will increase dps in start very big. In 3.14 with 4l setup on 10 stacks CF deal 400k damage

Note that Soul Taker only solves mana problems for melee attacks, so Shield Crush but not Shield Throw. That means worse bleed since it has smaller hits. I'd leave that option for an impale build instead tbh

A heads up for people looking at this build. Its been tagged by the author as [3.15] but nothing was actually updated other than a PoB in the Change Log and a few notes.

The gem links in the PoB have 6 supports and from what I can see they are still sub-optimal.

If you are looking to start with this build I would take it with a grain of salt until it is actually updated to 3.15

Hmm how would an impale build compare to the bleed build ?

Dread Banner and Impale support should make it so that most of our shield attacks apply impale and because it scales off attack damage we can still use Command of Steel and Gladiatorial combat in the passive tree

Updated some more things for 3.15. But still in progress.

I think the old gems are fine for a start, even if there are a lot of new alternatives now.

Removed all text which had to do with old SST behaviour (chain/pierce ...)

Converted the leveling Pob's to 3.15 and updated some minor things (few notables, removed d&c jewel)

Added some leveling notes.

The patch and SST changes are big and there is a lot to discover. I hope i will find enough time to keep everything fresh.
