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

Hello, i'm wondering if anyone is playing this in hardcore harbinger league. I'd like to know how viable it is in hc assuming i'd be using a BoR. What is the general amount of hp in the 80s this build gets. 6k+ ?

Voidheart is not needed at all w/ the new changes to bleed. You are always going to be above 50% chance to bleed.

@Knampfclown

Hatred and Herald of Ash don't affect Crimson Dance, so they don't increase or decrease the damage (since it's added). So I would still keep them both. If you are using Crimson Dance, you probably don't need to change anything.

@Bloodhatred

6k is definitely do-able for HHC, if you prioritize the life nodes first. You don't really need that much damage. If you can make it to level 59, your damage will increase a lot with Soul Taker. If you can get to 67, with Bringer of Rain and Jack the Axe, you will be unstoppable.

@FeRR1S

If you're playing HC, I would recommend paying someone to run Kitava for you, since it might be a bit risky. Good luck mate.

Thank guys for the replies. I already have good money to get up and running, i was thinking of respeccing my sunder guys since theres not that much to respec already and im already using axe nodes. Since its hc, i'll def be going to the life wheel first ( already completed on Sunder build) and get dps ones later. I'll probably go with sunder until i hit 69, then make the switch.

Nice build man!

Play with this guide, its fun, but low dps for bosses, and u can`t gain charges. I have the full equip that described at this guide, good jewel, all gem +20 quality. Now i can farm tier 10-11 maps, how i can boost more damage and survival. And where you gain 5 frenzy charges, at skill tree it only 4 ??

Yeah sorry didn't update the 5 frenzy charges to 4.

You need to run concentrated effect against bosses. So you need to swap your increased AoE gem for the Concentrated Effect gem when you're fighting bosses. Use Enduring Cry and Bloodrage to gain charges.

Make sure you read my FAQ at the bottom of my guide.

I use that`s all of course, at this time i have 150-220 k dps whis concentrated effect. To up dps more i need buy more expencive axe`s ? Will it work guide with other weapon ? And witch unique flask i need to buy at first ?

@LifeJocker

Yeah just buy witchfire brew first for DPS increase. Also get a rare axe instead of Jack the Axe.
I probably won't be replying often to this thread anymore. Maybe a few times a week, since I'm a bit busy.

Aint you actually able to clear evey map with no effort?

Edir: Rip on Avarius at lvl 53! What the hell is that insane balls damage? Just 2 and died having 2k hp.

yep. i use earthquake before buy jack and soultaker, and i have good range, so clear maps without problems. i have problems now, at hight lvl bosses, maps tier 12-13 +,

This is the 3rd league I've played this build and I want to try to take this to complete Shaper.

Not sure how to post my items on the page but you can look at my character file. To get to late late game you will have to ditch the BoR. I got a Belly of the Beast and an 40% cleave enchanted helm (selling for 15c and you will have to craft yourself). Clearing any map is fine but its the T16 bosses and Shaper that are issues (obviously).

I'm going to mess around w/ gem set ups for a little b/c there are so many different combinations (going to get increased AOE/concentrate swap going possibly). I threw on Belt of the deceiver to the increased DPS. I have good rings and amulets, but while I'm farming T11-T15 maps I will have a ventors and Biscos on. I am buying a Taste of Hate, getting steel rings, and upgrading to spiked gloves... that will take a while.
