[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Gladiator Bleed Split Bow Cheap Duelist Build
Bleed Bow is probably one of the most popular Gladiator builds out there. Great clearspeed with built-in "pop" effect because of Gladiator's explosive ascendancy. Good tankiness as you can stack armour, some block, and a lot of chaos resistance. If you need a good 3.14 starter build with fast speed, this PoE 3.14 Gladiator Bleed Split Arrow Starter Duelist may be enough for you.
Quick Jump
Pros & Cons
- - Needs 185 dexterity which is a big gear issue later one.
- - also needs a lot of intelligence if you plan to min-max with Enlighten lvl.4
- - squishy in the beginning, till you get more ascendancy nodes, block and armour
- - greatly relies on a good bow.
- - Snipe is hard to use on fast/teleporting/moving bosses. Easy to miss.

Buy Tabula Rasa with cheap price on PoeCurrencyBuy!
For bows i recommend Silverbranch and then Silverbough as well as Replica Quill Rain
Later i used Infractem simply because it was cheapest 6L bow. If you can somehow get a 6L Lioneye's Glare that would be great.
For chests, Ambu's Charge is great cheap option, as well as Belly of Beast of cause.
For quiver i recommend Drillneck as it gives 50% increased damage with hits and ailments and gives pierce and lof of juice. After you get block ascendancy nodes you can switch to full block Rearguard.
