Ascendacy order ->normal lab gratuitous - > cruel - determined -> Merc More than skill -> uber jagged (ps you may swap merc with uber if you feel you need damage) -Upgrade order 1 - 5link or 6link 2 - 300+ pds axe (or jack, the axe if you can afford) 3 - Shield with %life on block(Shaper influenced) 4 - Impresence (phys version) 5 - 75% chaos res (or at least not negative)
old ascendacy- pre 3.25
gear breakdown
Weapon:still is the best sword for this type of build, maybe a near max phys will be better but for the cost, paradoxica is the best choice, try to get one with 190+ pds if possible no blood rage on kill Shield Surrender as always Helmet, this version of the build we use a rare one, lots of res, life, armour if possible and 2 usefull mods from searing and eater Body armour: a rare one, lots of life, chaos res, the phys damage reduction is a nice mod to have, it need to have a empty prefix to bench craft spell block, be sure to get the right mods from eater/exarch boots are needed. Ring with a lots of dmg mods, some Dex and int is needed a empty prefix to bench craft the mana cost Ring 2 nimis while expesive it is what makes the build works(the dmg aspect) it makes the splitting steel shotgun at close range Belt: Rhyslata is a cheap belt that gives a lot of damage one of the best in slot Amulet, a auls with pride or purity of elements, to get one of them free Boots: some rare boots with res, live and movespeed Flaks: bottled faith for damage, the rest of the flask are magic, is good for them to have gain charge on hit mod Jewels: Blue nightmare near scion/marauder is needed to get the spell block capped One large cluster for damage and mana leech with a useful third node 2 medium for crit: if possible get some with chaos res Two small to give more block and armour Forbiddens with master of metal, if those are to expensive, there's many others that are great as well(overhelm, bane of legends, brutal fevor. Whatchers eyes with 2 impale while you are affected by pride, if possible try to get one with some precision mod on it(attack speed, attack dmg or crit multi) Charms: Try to get one with armours apply to elemental res, and the others 2 with +1 impale, and some nice mods , the armour per block is a good one or recovery life when you use a flask. Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable I am still testing some things to see if is possible to get more clear, and more tankness i assume my gear is around 160-200 div in trade league at the moment.

old stuff
Hello everyone this build is perfect for a league that you will need to survive a full sentinel encounter to get more loot. Since the big nerf on gladiator on 3.15 this build was dead but i managed to make it work again similar tankness you will be able to facetank 4-5mods rare mobs, endgame bosses as before but it will take more time to kill bosses damage with a bit of investiment(20-30ex) will be near 5kk. POB 3.18:https://pastebin.com/BdkARym5
Gear Breakdown
This currently setup cost less than 20ex Without the ring with onslaught but it is poorly crafted. One rare steel ring with t1 phys and attack speed should give similar damage than it. Weapon: Paradoxica is a nice sword for it price try to get one with 190 pds and without lvl 1 blood rage. A upgrade will be a rare sword with high pds(near 600). Shield: The surrender is best in slot for this build and using a setup of life on hit on it will make you survive almost anything. Belt:Ryslata coil combined with the ascendacy gladiator it give way to much damage. Boots: Can be a rare one with tailwind and or elusive with life some movespeed or Stampede that will make you not slowed when using cyclone and it can be anointed like a amulet. Annoint charisma to run all auras(if you are using a rare boots use charima on amulet). Helmet: If you feel that you are tank enough you can use abyssus it will give a nice dps boost or a rare one with cyclone attack speed some life and resistance and eater of world mana reserved mod on it. Gloves: Rare one with accuracy above 400 life, attribute if you need, chaos res if possible phys to attacks or attack speed Body armour: Life some resitances attributes if needed and a empty prefix to craft more spell block chance and more spell block in the eater of world mod. Rings: dex or int if you need, phys to attacks life, resitances Need to have in at least one of them open prefix to craft "channeling skills have -3 to total mana cost" PS: A ring with onslaught on the implicit worth more than all other itens i am using(i am using it cause it droped lul) Amulet: Life phys to attacks crit mult, attributes if needed and if you only have 1 rings with the craft "channeling skills have -3 to total mana cost" you need to craft it on the amulet. Jewels: Watchers eye with pride + 2 impales Forbidden flesh and flame for master of the metal for more impale damage We use a blue nightmare near the templar to give more spell block and it give power charger too. Clusters Jewels: This time we are using 5 cluster jewel 1 large 2 medium and 2 small, the cluster is needed to get more block, some damage and life, the small jewel that use fettle can be substitued for a jewel with corrupted blood on it if you dont have one. FLASK If you dont have a jewel with imune to corrupted blood you need to get on flask it.

3.18 changes and thoughts
With the nerf on gladiator(glacing blows)It is hard to get max block because of that now is needed way more points on tree to get near 75/75 The build have near same tankness as before but to achieve it some damage was lost(40%) still have enought damage to kill bosses in few secs. My setup is not expensive and is possible to achieve similar dps investing on the build.
Defense layer
The damage mitigation comes from: 1 Always fortify up 2 Infused channeling 3 high phys reduction 4 Endurace charges 5 Always max spell and attack block chance 6 Life gain on block and when hit. 7 Stun imunne with all the 6 itens you can tank almost every enconter in the game. Cant tank Dot damage like shaper beam.
The damage
1 Pure physical damage with impale 2 blood rage for frenzy charge and leech 3 assassin mark for damage and more CRIT 4 Four damage auras 5 Power charges(generated from cluster and blue nightmare and assassin mark) With everthing on +4kk damage can be easily achievable.
Pre 3.15 stuff
Welcome, exile. This is my first guide and first post on the forum.
With this build you can FACETANK A LOT OF CONTENT in the game Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZlGIbIoOcw Hello everyone this build is perfect for a league that you will need to survive a full scourge encounter to get more loot and monster delling more damage the more you stay in the new dimesion and facing up to 10 bosses at once on the atlas. Can be done as league starter , can easily run all maps with rare gear you can check it doing conqueror's on low budget in the videos.
EXPEDITION LEAGUE STARTER/Low budget
Now you might need to use a jewel with "+2 Mana gained for each Enemy hit by your Attacks" to sustain cyclone even with praxis due the mana cost of the skill. Hi i did a new version more optmized for league starter with around 1kk sirus damage , using cheap items it cost me around 190c(1-2 week of the league) to get all itens (including a self crafted shield) can do t16 map on it can tank ULTIMATUM encounters in red maps(careful of multiples damage map mods) T14 map showcase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD2piiB1lyk POB: https://pastebin.com/c1uKPxps att for 3.15
Gear and gem setup
Body armour Bought a Str base 6link body armour with some decent base armour for 24c , used a life essence on it got some chaos res on it Abyssus with low roll on increased damage taken, it cost me 16c Rings a praxis with -8 mana cost and a rare one with phys to attacks, life and resist and crit from the base cost me 20c(to be fair i think i paid to cheap for it) and 10c for the praxis Amulet high crit multi, life ,phys to attacks and resist paid 10c(u can search a item with a missing mod on it and a empty suffix to craft on it, usually make the item u need to get a lot cheaper) 10c Gloves You gonna need some accurancy on either the gloves or on the ring/amulet 400+ is a nice amount to have , life , and flat phys, resist if u need Belt lots of life and resist, chaos res on it is great Alternative is Belt of the Deceiver(unique) Shield, the shield i made it, is really simple all you need is a shaper shield il 68+ the base cost me 30c(ON the second DAY of the league, now is more cheap)get one with some nice base armour them use some Pristine fossil it takes around 7 tries(According with craftofexile) using ONLY pristine fossil 2c each fossil mine i got with 3 fossil Sword A rare with a nice pds on it(300+) mine cost 20c Alternative: Ichimonji(Unique Sword) and Scaeva(Unique 3 socket green) Boots this gear piece i found it, there's similar on trade under 20c Life , high movement speed and some elemental res if u need Alternative Stampede(Unique) Jewel get one that make u imunne to corrupted blood Flaks Alaways get a Diamond flask it give a huge dps boost Lion roar's give a lot of damage , paid 16c on mine POB:https://pastebin.com/c1uKPxps When u got some currency, try to move towards the medium budget version
Medium budget cyclone version
Those prices are from mid league in heist , in Ultimatum right now(early on the league) it should be way more expensive this gear is possible to do guardians and sirus aw8(20-50sec). Hi made a new budget version of the build this one is version more powerfull than the league starter but some chaos more expensive and hard to get on firsts days of the leagues , it can be what to aim to upgrade after the league starter version , them transit to the end game version. I did some t16 and killed a few shaper guardian on this setup , died once for a minitoaur with nasty mods on the map.It is pretty safe for a budget version 3,8KK dps on this setup The first upgrade for this version is get a surrender shield items Sword Paradoxica with 160pds dont buy lower than 140pds The more expensive of this version paid 60c on mine Right now in ULTIMATUM paradoxica is way to expensive, a rare sword with 330+ pds is a solid choice, Ahn's Might too(ichinmonji is fine too) Helmet Abyssus 10c for those rolls Shield With the life recovery mod and a empty prefix to craft more armour 30c Body armour with onslaught on when you get hit Crafted it myself using it took 3 tries to get a decent life on it 1c each try 13c for a astral 6link item lvl 80 and 3c for 3 insanity now in ULTIMATUM astral 6link is expensive , get a random 6link base(STR) high armour if possible belt Life and resistances Paid 10c for it Gloves Accuracy , resitances , and life on it Paid 6c for it (i think i paid too cheap for it) Boots The Stampede Some one sugested using it , and i tried and it feels pretty good it make u dont slow when using cyclone and can anoint some thing on it i recommend the assassination(but it cost one golden oil +24c) Or a rare one with movement speed, resist and life Rings One must be a praxis with -8 mana so cyclone wont cost mana The other ring is one with life resist and phys to attacks Amulet Impresence for phys damage This way you can get a vulnerability that dont reserve mana and some defenses when u kill a rare or unique monster Or a rare one with a tier 1or 2 physical damage to attacks, life, resist if u need and crit multi if u can afford Flasks Jewel Any with corrupted blood cannot be inflicted Now you might need a jewel with: +2 Mana gained for each Enemy hit by your Attacks to sustain mana cost if you are using a praxis Videos T16 lair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULVkRYMPIoE T16 Phoenix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJYP5q6WETY POB:https://pastebin.com/PWch4Vgr
Ultimatum league bleed eq variant progress
day 2
Hi, i am doing the bleed eq as starter , kinda tired to always playing cyclone and i plan to transit to bleed bow once i get enought currency my gear cost like 20-25c with a few of those i found myself Tips: for maping -Get a shield with 50+ life on block and high life -Axe with at least +250pds -more flat phys on ring/ gloves / amulets the better -a 5 link is fine if u have the item above -Gonna annoint Command of Steal(first i will buy a better amulet) -Jewel with One with the shield is nice and cheap(paid 3c on mine) pob: https://pastebin.com/VcsGaghR video:It's is on a T4 map my highest tier at day 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZKrS51hC4I Tankness Showcase t4 rare map(again my highest tier of map so far) I only attacked when the mob spawn to far to count to the totem kill and on the last wave cause the totem started to die. https://youtu.be/0MXId3Kg3tA ps:My new gloves the pob dont load so am using a old one in the pob
day 3
Hi, made some big changes , got from 3kk to 15kk dmg , more tankness -crafted a new axe with the elder bleeding mod -New amulet with hunter phys over time, t1 phys flat and annointed -6link -new cluster jewels (see it on pob) -now at lvl 89 -to do list , change both rings, boots, shield , helmet and belt. -try to craft a even better axe pob: https://pastebin.com/WDaLUh8C
day 5
Got a new shield and a ring with curse, using a basalt flask to help tank and getting some chaos res and more dmg https://pastebin.com/4fPVPF37 (the damage on this one is based on the last hit of intimidate warcry) This should be my final update on the bleeding eq version, now gonna try to transit to bleed bow when i get enought currency
day 7
Transited to bleed bow max block since i dont have enought currency i made a diferent version without max evade and using a kaom heart Managed to craft a decent bow it have a kinda low pds but the 2 bleeding mod being tier 1 make it vert powerfull, the gear is not optimized but is a start pob:https://pastebin.com/x12xFYx9 video: t15 hunter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnQw1i28_lY gonna try a setup of corrupting fever after i upgrade my gear and get a 6l body armour.
3.16 changes and thoughts
3.16 ready Huge Damage buff in the new ascendancy i think i calculated ir right around 56% more damage. A lot of change in skill tree, not going right on skill tree. Using close combat cause you can get fortify on skill tree getting some nodes of less mana reserved to use tempest shield(+25% spell block on lvl20 maybe more with empower and a lvl21 gem) More block, less spell block (-4% on budget version) Using clusters to get more spell block, not using versatile combatent Resume The build is more strong(83% attack block and 71% spell block on budget i will release the medium and high end budget later once i get it done) The change to Violent Retaliation gives soo much damage that is hard to calculate i did some math it should be precise but will need pob to update the ascendacy part to get 100% accurate,(violent retaliation + rhyslata coil is insane) Pob:3.16 https://pastebin.com/mt5yhztm budget league start PS: The flask is simulating the Violent retaliation(since pob haven't updated the node yet) and the shield can be craft on 3.16("The Suffix modifiers that grant Attack Block and Spell Block on Shields have been improved, and new tiers have been added. These now grant up to 16% Attack Block and 15% Spell Block respectively at the highest tier".)
Min Max Gear
All this gear is from harvest league as league ended and i reformated this part it show now standart league. If you are doing this build as league starter/low budget check the gear for it on the other topic Body armour: The principal mods are the explode and the -15mana , without harvest one with power charge on crit will be expensive. Gloves: Try to get one with accuracy life and resist , if you can afford physical to attacks or attack speed is great Boots(Blood magic gem got changed for arrogance, and a new gem was added to the game , and arrogance only work for aura, now u need to use a new gem called LIFETAP) Any boots with resist life and movespeed is great for the build , if you can afford get elusive and tailwind on it too(just tailwind or elusive is good too and more cheap) Helmet Abyssus with the less increased physical damage taken (43-40%)The more crit multi the better. Rings One should be a circle of guilt with 4% physical reduction and 40-60% increased physical If you can afford get one with good implicts the best one is onslaught on hit, some implicits like criti multi are great too The other ring should have curse enemies with vulnerability on hit , some life and accuracy , if you can afford get more add physical on it too Amulet Some resist, life , you might need to get dexterity on the amulet or int if you dont have accuracy on the ring get it on the amulet too , crit mult and add physical are great Belt The best belt for the build is Rhyslata coil , if you cant afford get a decent stygian vise Sword Paradoxica is way too cheap by how strong it is with my setup only foil with more than 580pds(they worth like almost all my gear in my char) deal more damage than a paradoxica with 180pds(like 4-5% more) try to get one with at least 150pds if you can afford the blind mod on it is great , dont get the +% impale chance the build already have 100% impale chance Shield Without a doubt the best is the surrender Flasks My current setup is If you dont have onslaught on the ring swap the quicksilver flask for one with onslaught and dont forget the diamond flask it give more damage than the bottled faith Jewels Without a jewel that have the mod "you cant be inflict with corrupted blood" you wont be able do tank the sirus die attack About watchers eyes the best mod is Impales that you inflict last 2 additional attacks.

how to craft the body armour
Step by step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrncEY4f8yg 1-buy the astral plate 6link item level 86+ 2-buy the warlord's exalted 3-craft life on the astral , get one empty sufix on it 4-Use the warlord's on it 5- if dont get the mana mod , scour it 6- use pristine+lucent+serrated fossil on it done How to craft the explosive and the mana mod on body armour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zntMXYw4bEU 1-get a 6link with the -15 mana mod on it and cant have any other warlord's mod on it 2- get a body armour with enemies you kill explode ... need to be the only crusader's mod on it 3-buy one awakening's orb 4- use the awakening on the explode first and them on the mana(use it first on the base you dont want) 5-done
leveling
The leveling of the build is smooth , and using a cheaper uniques will make it even faster itens like this and a tabula rasa and u can swap for more powerfull itens(swords and shield) when get to high levels. Ascendancy ordem is 1-Pain forged 2-Versatile Combatent 3-Violente Retaliation 4-Arena Challenger Bandits Let alira live About what gems or what skill to level until you get cyclone i like to use reave but u can try any meele skill a setup like this. About the skill tree you can select in the pob there is a lvl 30,60,80 and 100 pob:https://pastebin.com/DqWv7vwp When i use this build as league starter i level with cleave/reave until i get cyclone , i usually use warlord mark with bhasphemy for life and mana leach and the rest of the mana i reserve with pride in the low leves i use 2 one handed swords for leveling until i get on the shield nodes , if i can i buy any unique sword for leveling and use it(dont spend more than a chaos on one)when you do the first and second lab is better to change to one hand sword and one shield.
The defense layer
The damage mitigation comes from: 1 Always fortify up 2 Infused channeling 3 81% phys reduction 4 Endurace charges 5 Blind on hit 6 Always max spell and attack block chance 7 Life gain on block and with all the 7 itens you can tank almost every enconter in the game. Cant tank Dot damage like shaper beam. Here you can see the defense of the build on t16 map with veritania influence The monster and the boss in the video are dying of my block skills , using the cyclone to kill only the metamorph. https://youtu.be/QKKI-kqbnTE?t=71
The damage
1 Pure physical damage with impale 2 blood rage for frenzy charge and leech 3 Vulnerability for damage and more bleed chance , 5 Explode on death , helping with the clear speed. 6 Buffed herald of purity for more damage. With everthing on +10kk damage can be easily achievable.
Pros/Cons
Pros: Cheap to start High dps Fast clear speed(explo chest+arena challenger) Really tank Can easily do all content in the game(including gran masters) Cons Not a cheap build to min max it. Can not do Physical Reflect maps. Cant tank some sources of DOT damage.
Old stuff
league starter/low budget
Body armour any 5-6link with high hp gloves any with resist and life or you can use a Haemophilia and get bleeding explosion will give you more clear speed belt boots any with movespeed life and some resist shield the recovery mod is better than the flat mod , try to get both. helmet huge dps boost amulet the anvil is really nice , and cheap more life on block and more block chance rings one with resist / life and the other need to be a práxis with -8 mana cost , this way cyclone wont cost mana to use sword ichimonji ireally Strong and give the - mana reserved mod , so this way we can use pride , blood and sand , precision(lvl1) hereald of purity and dread banner. total cost= ~ 95c in the first week of the league.

3.11 changes
- Herald of Purity No longer grants added Physical Damage with Spells and Attacks. Now grants 9% more Physical Damage at gem level 1, up to 12% more Physical Damage at gem level 20.Should be something around -5%dps - Some clusters jewels got nerfed.Rip Deep Cuts(BTW i dind't use those on the build) Cyclone lost it Stun immunity , but with gladiator ascendacy it makes us immunes to stun from attacks that we block and with 5.5k+ life it won't impact on the playstyle of the build. - Some nodes on skill tree lost a bit of damage on them. Conclusion: The build stay strong in early and end game , almost same tankness just -5% on physical reduction cause soul of steal got nerfed and less damage but with the right itens +10kk damage is still achievable. POB 3.11: https://pastebin.com/YWT1teAi
3.11 version
Hi , in the harvest league is way easy to craft/buy really good itens and i managed to craft a really good chestplate for the build that said in this version i dont use a impresence amulet , cause i got a ring with vulnerability on hit , that way i have 2 free sockets of gems and enduring cry with the key node that make warcry's instant can be used while using cyclone. The skill tree is almost the same , the damage with my current gear is 14kk and the same tankness as before. POB: https://pastebin.com/DqWv7vwp

Hello, first of all the build was not nerfed and some changes happened they are -Vulnerability No longer causes attack hits to have a chance to Maim cursed enemies. No longer causes cursed enemies to take increased physical damage from damage over time. Curses applied by casting this spell now gain 10 Doom per second. Now causes ailments inflicted on cursed enemies to deal damage 20% faster. I dont think it will change the damage but need to see in the pob when it att to confirm and Enduring Cry No longer grants a minimum of one Endurance Charge. Now has a cooldown of 8 seconds at all gem levels (from 6 seconds Not a big deal but it is a nerf About the skill tree Changed almost nothing to the tree just one new node that maybe be worth to take , when the tree is relased on the pob i will talk again about this The new Marked for Death cluster has been added to the southeast of the Duelist. It grants increased Effect of your Curses, Culling Strike against Marked enemies, and increased damage with Hits and Ailments against Enemies Marked by you. this new point on the tree depending on how close it is to the path the build tree pass will be worth using. Some new ideas for the build Warlord's Mark Enemies afflicted by Warlord's Mark will always grant an Endurance Charge when slain, and grant rage when stunned. They also allow attacks to leech life and mana from them Maybe is worth to change vulnerability for Warlord's Mark and change some other gem for a berserk (or use a unset ring) using the pob right now if the build have 50 rage and use berserk the damage almost doble. Final thoughts The build stay strong as always and there's more potential for changes(using rage and berserk) achieving insane dps bost at the cost of almost nothing and on the league as ggg said you need to survive to the end of the heist encounter to get the loot a tanky build will be the best choice.

Hello, first of all ascendacy got reworked or nerfed(some get buffed) , gladiator got some minor nerf that will not impact on the final performace of the build(for cyclone and the bleed version) -Painforged No longer grants 40% increased Damage if you've taken no Damage from Hits Recently. And 5% less damage for the bleed variants Final thoughts The build stay strong as always and there's more potential with harvest craft to get more powerfull itens and this league you will have to kill a lot of mobs from ritual to get more rewards(tributes) and with the new atlas you will be facing many bosses at once a tanky build will be the best choice. POB: https://pastebin.com/SNXtSp24 1 I will do a new version per league.
Earthquake version
Hi again , in heist i started with a bleeding version of the build using earthquake , since i am not using abyssus i am more tank for physical damage same block setup , but with more life gain on block cause i use some clusters The clear speed is nice , the single target when the bleeding mod proc plus the warcrys is insane kill all bandits
my current gear heist
Helmet The nearby enemies take increased physical damage is the best mod Gloves The physical damage over time is the best mod for gloves Boots The bleeding deals damage faster from hunter influence is the best for damage Rings One with curse vulnerability the other with bleeding mod from warlord influence with add physicals Amulet with physical damage over time and flat physical or Aul with malevolence the aul's uprising gives way more dps Body armour Crafted one with essence of insanity for free onslaught. AXE This is where the damage come from it need to have the "60% chance to bleeding you inflict deals 100% more damage" the axe must need to have it and at least 200+pds got lucky managed to craft this monstruosity of axe Belt any belt with high life and resist or atributes Shield Surrender as always , best in slot Clusters and jewels

thoughts on this version
First of all this version is more tanky , since it dont use abyssus and use artic armour the damage with the warcry setups is insane , one EQ boss die the clear is pretty fast for a EQ build, even when i was using a jack the axe on a 5link the build wreck on maps , as a blockman build is tanky by standart this version take a futher step on it and is a different play style if u are bored with cyclone.This is not a concept that i created there's many similar builds like this one , i just wanted to share my version. POB: https://pastebin.com/LF6bYT8j pob dont calculate the fist of war neither the warcry bonus , so my real damage should be a lot more than this.
Bow bleed max block max evasion
Well i thought it will be a meme but holy is strong it have way more clear speed than any blockman and the single target is insane and still tank for a bow build , with flask i get 80% evade chance , 75% block chance(59 without it)no glacing blows 5k+ life kill all bandits
My gear
The bow i have is kinda expensive but the rest is okay the bow i made the rest cost me a bit less than 1500c on heist league Bow Managed to craft this thing with just jagget fossil(yeah i know i was super lucky)It need to have the bleed mod and more pds u get more damage u have(at least 300) Helmet Assailum if u can get a +2 on it for more damage Quilver Rearguard chain on it is nice Body armour A incursion body armour with lots of life and a empty prefix to craft block chance on it evansion on it is nice to have too Rings bought the base and crafted with evasion essence second ring life , lots of phys to attacks and the bleed mod from warlord Amulet Auls for free malevo Gloves with to phys over time , life , flat phys and some mana leech Boots Bleed deal damage faster , life , resist and movespeed dex on it is nice to have Belt lots of life and resist Clusters Thats where the damage comes from and the block chance 2 larges 4 medium 4 smalls Larges Medium at least one brush with death and rend , wasting afliction is the best point small 4 rote reiforcements for the block chance 2 passives only can be crafted with pristine fossil , a item lvl betewen 68-70 have more chance to have it One intuitive leap to get some bleed/evasion points One red nightmare for 11%block Flaks One jade flask to get max evasion , one rumi for max block , bottled faith make enemies take more damage

Blockman COC
I did a new version with Cast on Crit max block and with some nice dmg bit expensive maybe will be better a normal coc with assassin but i like doing blockmans, as aways max block , 5k life , pretty tank for a coc POB: https://pastebin.com/UYKQjk7g
thoughts on this version
Well first ,is kinda expensive and with a lot of smalls details on itens to work propely.I Recommend for experienced players to try this version The damage is great like 1sec t16 bosses 3-4secs shaper guardians , the clear is good and is pretty tank for a coc build with nice damage but again my itens are expensive. I wonder what will be my next version.
videos
Use lifetap in for substitute bloodmagic(or arrogance) Let alira live Pantheons: Arakaali and Shakari for chaos damage mitigation
Spoiler
Kill all bandits Pantheon Shakari and arakali for dot mitigation. PS: I play the build with cyclone but any melee skill can work on(reave, blade flurry , lacerate etc.) it , for most cases swap infused for multistrike and you are ready to go , you can even use axes and get axes nodes on tree in the place of sword nodes. Can go violent retaliation and arena challenger or go blood explosions both works great. If you do the build with any other skill and want to share it , pm me in game and i will add it to the guide nick: Theblockman Soon i will upload videos os my char in 3.18 Path Of building 3.18: https://pastebin.com/BdkARym5 Yes the build is finnaly back, while gladiator got so many nerfs the build still a decent choice, but to get the damage in the numbers needed nowdays it get kinda expensive. ps: if u find a typo mistake tell me i will fix it. ps2: i will keep updating the guide here with new finds or better upgrades. POB 3.23: https://pobb.in/9OOxhi4xlORo (the damage is hard to calculate since the projectiles overlap i think the damage is like 7-8 times the amount show in pob) Last edited by Poisom#5634 on Jul 31, 2024, 10:17:41 PM Last bumped on Jul 28, 2024, 12:28:13 AM

Are you running around with -60% chaos resistance.
Everyone, literally everyone has complained about chaos damage this league and its the reason any gear with chaos resist is 187 ex and watcher's eye with any PoE chaos resist roll start at 3ex. I want to try this build, it looks legit but I dont understand how you would survive actual gameplay outside of the bosses in the videos with -60% chaos resistanace. |

" Hello , i am uploading a video doing t16 with monsters poison on hit with warlod influence and the boss of the map use chaos damage overtime and bleed , both that i cannot block and my life dont go below 80% all map AW 8 . ps:(with -60 chaos res and i dont have the phanteon that makes me immune to poison.)

Why go with paradoxica and not Facebreaker ?
Facebreaker variant is cheaper and does way more damage |
|
" Hi , its true that u can get a lot of damage with face break and , grab the claw damage nodes insted of the swords nodes , but in the current setup os itens for the build using the face break and the rigwald's talisman it leaves 2 rare itens in the build , and all others unique itens dont give any kind of elemental resist so will be need to change some item to get the resist up to 76% or invest in really expesive itens, if i change the any item the loss in the dps will be huge. cyclone with face break will have less aoe and less attack speed and less damage than with paradoxica and will have less block chance and less total life. this is the POB for facebreak , i wont recommend it : https://pastebin.com/FdT0Gkfh |

" I do not mean to be offensive but in what context would -60 chaos res be game breaking for you? I've done all content deathless outside of uber elder (since im bad with dodging) by a melee with -60 chaos res. I do not delve much but deep delving is an entirely different dimension btw. At worst, you can just pick an amethyst flask and roll with it. |
