Bleed Flurry Brutality Build FAQ

Q: What support gem do I drop if I can only get a 5L QotF?
A: The blue one. While IncAOE is awesome for clear/qol and ConcEffect is amazing for bosses,
the other supports are far more crucial overall.

Q: Is this build HC-viable?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that this build was created/tested in SC; this isn't intended to be some sort of afk HC Shaper farmer. If you want to try this in HC, I would recommend modifying your priorities towards additional defense (should be common sense for HC players, but I get this question a lot).

Q: Wait, doesn't that mean the build posted here is super rippy?
A: ... No.

Q: Can this build do (insert content)?
A: Check the 'Videos' section at the top.

Q: Help!!! I have more questions!!!?
A: First, check to see if the question's already been answered in the thread; odds are it has. If not, post you questions here in the thread so others can benefit from the answers as well. I've tried to respond to everyone who's pmed me here or whispered me in-game, but the frequency and volume of requests has gotten past the point where I can reasonably get back to everyone and still have time to actually play. ;)

Bleed Flurry Brutality Build Pros:
+ Strong (great damage output)
+ Resilient (good survivability)
+ Fast (solid clearspeed)

Bleed Flurry Brutality Build Cons:
- Doesn’t get much offensive boost from aurabot (Brutality)
- A few semi-expensive items, especially jewels (though I’m using this as my league-starter without too much trouble)
- Not immune to phys reflect (totem can handle it for single packs)

Playstyle:
Nothing complicated. Use Whirling Blades to dart around the map and Blade Flurry to rapidly deliver tons of phys damage / bleed stacks.

Build Concept
After testing a variety of different skills, Blade Flurry really stood out as a powerful delivery vehicle for blood-sucking shenanigans. The build’s massive attack speed synergizes extremely well with BF’s mechanics.
3.0 also brought along massive buffs to evasion, which I wanted to abuse both offensively and defensively. Dual-wielding Dreamfeather Eternal Swords while rocking Queen of the Forest is just insane right now (please don’t nerf me!).
While evasion is great, POE’s all about defensive layers. In addition to crazy high eva, this build gets decent block chance, ~6k life, and fantastic leech. About the only things I die to are the occasional 1-shot from Shaper / heavily buffed guardians if I’m playing sloppy, but that’s the case for nearly any build these days.

Current gear in HSC:

For jewels, you want Maximum Life + Physical Damage + Damage. 4th prop is gravy, but you really want those 3 specifically. Reason-being, *other damage mods can scale up BF or bleed but not both!* Unfortunately these jewels are EX+ at the moment, but they help the damage output substantially.

Gem Links:
1) Blade Flurry > Faster Attacks > Brutality > Melee Physical Damage > Chance to Bleed > Increased Area of Effect (Concentrated Effect for bosses)
2) Whirling Blades > Faster Attaks > Blood magic > Fortify
3) Grace > Blasphemy > Vulnerability
4) Cast When Damage Taken > Immortal Call > Vaal Haste > Increased Duration
5) Summon Fire Golem (Stone is fine too) > Minion life > CWDT (I’m lazy)
6) Blood Rage > Enduring Cry > Ancestral Protector

Ascendancy:
Gladiator of course!
Gratuitous Violence > Blood in the Eyes > Outmatch and Outlast > Painforged

Bandit:
Krait, Eramir, and Oak are all solid choices. PoB seems to indicate that Oak is slightly better for this particular build, oddly enough.

Pantheon:
Arakaali + Tukohama

Skill Trees:
Level 90:



Level 94 (Shaper/Uber-Atziri/anything-viable):

Note: PoB isn't currently displaying proper Bleed DPS, and doesn't factor in Crimson Dance keystone and some of the Gladiator node boosts.
