Last time poecurrencybuy editor list major 5 best Builds for Duelist Slayer, Nowadays we are going to list the ideal builds for Gladiator. The Gladiator works properly with dual wielding or one-handed weapon (which includes wands) and shield combinations. The tree provides possibilities to build about applying bleed and enhancing the player's blocking.

 

1. Unstoppable Gladiator 78% Max Block/Spells. 240K DPS Static Strike. Low Spending budget League Starter

This guide is based on the Gladiator develop I played on Essence & Perandus League, totally updated for Breach League. Check the following highlights to see if you're interested in:
- 78% Max Block Attacks & Spells.
- You can facetank almost anything with this incredible tanky create, thanks to Max Block A/S, great Armour for physical reduction (plus endurance charges) and a five.5K life pool.
- 240K DPS on fully buffed Static Strike. Calculation based on: Tooltip * 1.6 (explosions)
- If you prefer, you can choose between other main attack skills: Cleave and Sunder are suggested. But other skills like Earthquake, Lacerate, Ice Crash could be used.
- Can run any map of any tier, up to T15, all can be done deathless (including hard ones like T15 Core). All guardians can be done too, pretty straight forward.
- You can choose between Soul Taker Axe or Varunastra Sword (available after 2.3.2 release).
- Extremely cheap end-game build. You can get all your gear up and running for end-game content for 1 exalted.
- Really beginner friendly create, but not limited to that. You can always improve it while you get some additional currency.
- Can do deathless Normal Atziri easily.

2.Bleed Flurry Brutality (Fast + Lab + HotG + T16 + Shaper + Uber Atziri)


This construct guide is an active and ongoing collaboration between Little_MessPM and Bladewing_M; LMPM is natively a Russian language speaker so he asked me to create a guide for his 100% original create. All credit for the make goes to him, and the guide is written from his POV.)
Greetings, and welcome to my guide! After theorycrafting and testing this develop in the 3.0 beta to great success, I was shocked when the Fall of Oriath launch ended up making it even stronger. In the first week of Harbinger league I?ˉve used this create to farm lab, destroy all guardians, and kill the Shaper. Oh, and the clear speed is great too. Sound too good to be true?
Develop Pros:
+ Strong (great damage output)
+ Resilient (good survivability)
+ Fast (solid clearspeed)
Build Cons:
- Doesn?ˉt get much offensive boost from aurabot (Brutality)
- A few semi-expensive items, especially jewels (though I?ˉm using this as my league-starter without too much trouble)
- Not immune to phys reflect (totem can handle it for single packs)

3. Explosive Cleave / Lacerate Gladiator. Insane Clear Speed, Solid Defenses and Price range


This develop destroys map content and is built very defensively and is based around the passive 'Gratuitous Violence' from the Gladiator Ascendancy. This skill explodes all bleeding monsters on death and deals 10% of their maximum life in physical damage. To scale this damage exponentially, we use a variety of methods which includes lots of pure physical damage (not weapon damage), area damage, flame golem, jewels, frenzy charges, Herald of ash and Hatred. We use Cleave because it allows us to maintain permanent frenzy and endurance charges without running bloodrage (due to the node 'Outmatch and Outlast').
Build Pros:
+ Insane clear speed
+ Very Defensive
+ Arctic Armour
+ Insane mobility
+ Price range
+ High Block + Spell Block
+ Very Fun!
+ Talking Axe to keep you company
Construct Cons:
- Needs Fast Gameplay to maintain charges
- Can't Run Reflect / Blood magic maps

4.Generic HC RT Sunder Gladiator League Starter


Ever since the AoE nerfs to Earthquake there seems to be a lack of simple and reliable melee league starter construct guides here around the forums. That's why I've decided on making a guide on what I've been successfully using as a starter in both the Breach HC and Legacy HC challenge leagues and am currently using in 3.0.
Make Pros:
- Easily deals with all content leveling up until yellow maps on a 4-link
- Easy to gear out
- Tanky, as we are stacking life on the tree and gear as properly as various forms of free mitigation, making this build hard to die on.
- reliable
- foolproof
Make Cons:
- It's not Flameblast Totems.
- It's not very flashy and there will be no shattering enemies.
- while it can do high tier maps and other endgame content, provided you invest into proper gear, you're probably better off just starting your 2nd character and spending your accumulated wealth on that instead.

5.Bloodrayne Gladiator - Lacerate Develop Insane Clearspeed


Q: How much block does ur create have ?
