Duelist - [3.14] Gannicus, God of the Arena – Deathless Uber Elder for Everyone - Forum

" Bladeslaw wrote: Thanks for the build. I just cleared all the Elderslayers and Sirus at Awakener 8 with this build. I haven't tried Uber Elder yet just cause I can't get the fragments to drop and I don't want to drop currency on the missing ones. I leveled by running to get life/mana leech and max block ASAP then went to the left side of the tree to finish out grabbing any of the spokes along the way. Once I had max block I didn't have to worry too much about dying so I left life for the end. For the elderslayers I basically just facetanked. I had to stay out of the dead zones in each encounter but otherwise I just kind of stood there and swung at them until they stopped moving. If you can get a 6-L Craician Carapace for bleed immunity, an anti-corrupted blood jewel, and poison immunity from Shakari you can sleepwalk through the game. I struggle with Blights and Breaches but only cause my clear isn't the best. That's fine, I wanted this character for no-nonsense boss killing and it does that job admirably. The only upgrades I'm seeing for my gear is chaos res and better weapons but I burnt a truckload of currency trying to craft something better without any luck. Turns out it wasn't necessary. Yeah that was the intention. A straight-up bosskiller that can take a lot of damage and doesn't use complex mechanics. Just facetank 99% of the time.

However, I am having some problems with mana regen (I'm not able to out regen bladestorm), attack speed, and dps. But I don't blame you, I realize that I'm still new to the game and my gear probably isn't efficient. So I thought I would link it here and see if you could take a look at what I'm doing wrong. I'm still in the market for rare swords with both block chance and attack speed, but no luck so far. I also don't have a stygian vise with a good eye jewel. We don't really regen mana, we leech. Mage gave you some good advice. The important thing is to hit mobs. We reserve most of our mana so we shouldn't spam BS where there are no mobs.

If that DPS also has high attack speed then so much the better. " nutts_rampage wrote: Still not worth it ? How can I calculate my potential pDPS? Import it into PoB.

In general whenever you're crafting weapons (or any other gear for that matter) always import them into PoB. Besides the DPS stats which are easy to calculate there are lots of other things like crit, crit multi etc that are practically impossible to see exactly how they affect your specific build without PoB. In this build we use brutality so things that help us are relatively straightforward (no elemental, no chaos, only phys) but in general there are now so many mods on items that it's impossible to judge what works best just by looking at them.

Hi fellow gladiators. This is the 1st time I'm playing this ascendancy and it's a blast. Seeing how you move free from all those hits is just delightful. I'm really thankful to the OP for creating this build. One question, I'm using two Rigwald's Command, both corrupted, one with AS corruption and the other one with 30% corruption so, i have a question regarding if i should keep using those two swords until i can multicraft my own swords or shall i try and get a different unique weapon because those are better than that one? Thanks in advice :)	Posted by johnnykuroneko#4658 on Feb 4, 2020, 4:32:29 PM Quote this Post
There are no better uniques, especially since you're using corrupted Rigald's with good corruptions. The only better option is rares either both with block or one with block and gemini (or corruption) on the amulet. You can also get block from the gloves if you're not using Maligaro's.

Taking a late season run at this build and already after just a couple of quick play sessions I am loving it. Thank you for taking the time to post the guide!	Posted by shirt10#9511 on Feb 5, 2020, 1:39:54 PM Quote this Post
Thanks Aias for your build, have a lot of fun with it. I managed to kill Awakaner lvl 8, Shaper and red Elder with it. I'm using 2xRigwald's Command swords because I was not able to craft good substitutes alone. I recorded t16 pit of chimera full clear with it, if anyone would be interested :)	Posted by Olored#2743 on Feb 7, 2020, 7:25:38 AM Quote this Post
Is there any alternative for the Rage support gem? I can't hold the charges properly on party play.	Posted by johnnykuroneko#4658 on Feb 7, 2020, 6:58:00 PM Quote this Post

Well concentrated effect should give you even more damage if you're OK with the reduced AoE. I think it'd be too small but another player reported that he used it and felt it was ok. Otherwise I suppose Ruthless.
