[3.12] KissMeQuick's Gladiator Reave: REBORN — T19 100% Maps & A8 Sirus Deathless — Starter friendly

I am having a tough time trying to make this hardcore viable, what nodes should i give up to have at least 190-200% increased maximum life at lvl 80-85?

This is my current progress at lvl 95.

I decided to let go of Hatred and Arctic and swap in Herald of Purity and Determination with a watchers that gives me defense and block rate, which has shown to yield great results in terms of more survivability.
Damage is more than fine and survivability went up quite a notch.

Getting ready to spawn Uber elder and so far having no issues delving down at 500+ with Reave.

I got about 10ex for upgrades (my profie is public), could anyone tell me what piece would boost me the most? I'd like to try to kill uber elder soon. ty :>

Hi, I'm playing the shield version of this and really liking the tankiness. I have a question about the pantheon choices. Why is Arachnoxia so important? I usually make sure to keep Blood Rage up and even when it does fall off, wouldn't Vaal Pact prevent the benefits of the extra life regen anyway? I'm somewhat new so maybe I'm missing something. Just found my first divine vessel so I want to make sure I don't waste it.

Loving the build so far - current progress is below. I plan on master crafting the amulet further but taking suggestions on the best suffix here? all res? cold damage? not sure - Just know it isn't all stats.

I was having trouble with Uber Elder with reave but pop and swap to Blade Flurry, Conc. Effect and Elementdal Damage and he MELTS.

EDIT: I did switch around the build a bit with some help and seems even better.

Any tips on what should i focus on now? I still happen to die (i only inserted immortal call like 1hour ago so that might change)
Dmg is finally looking good, bosses feel long to be killed.
I'm keeping increased crit chance as socket 'cause CSP seem to slow down clear times
I also feel i need my mana flask with me, to run no leech maps and for when i have to spam Whirling blades

Just link whirling blades with blood magic if mana is an issue for you.

Tyvm :D

Hey, I've been playing this build for a couple weeks and I need help. Here's my gear so far :



The sword is 330 pdps.

What would you upgrade first? I'm having troubles with some high tier bosses who can one shot me (I have 5k life and about 65% block with Rumi) and compared to OP's PoB I only attack 6 times a second and my damage is only about 200kdps.

My two first guesses would be a new high pdps sword and Tombfist (while getting some high res on other gear). I'm also aware I'm not using Arctic Armor, but I just got the currency for a level 3 Enlighten so it'll get in the build soon.

Thanks !

First time playing Reave and I can honestly say it's one of the best builds I've tried so far, really happy with it. I loved Spectral Throw last league, but this bad boy has 10 times more defensive layers, moves JUST AS FAST as a Ranger AND the damage output is better too. I played all the way until 94 with a cheap-ass, well rolled Ahn's Might at 340pdps and did all content including Red Elder and Shaper.

For new players giving this a try, you must get Rumi's, it gave me a ridiculous amount of survivability, much more than I expected. Get a perfectly rolled +attack block, they are not expensive.

I am still struggling a bit with Int and took me a while to get rid of the +30 int node on the passive tree, and I'm trying to find a way to get another jewel socket. I personally did not need the 2 mana nodes and with Level 3 Enlighten I can run Purity/Hatred/Ash no problem.

I would drop the Vaal Cold Snap, since Vaal skills don't get triggered by CWDT now. I am still considering using another Aura instead of Ash, potentially for survivability as someone else mentioned. Purity is still better than elemental aura, but such a shame that it gives so little flat phys and the quality is useless for us - it should give 10% phys damage at 20% quality, but instead buffs the minions only..

Delves are easy for the most part, but even though I can kill Shaper deathless, I got completely destroyed by the Vaal Boss and the Abyssal Boss melted me too, although I will try him again. I think it might be more mechanics-related than anything else. For Delving, it is crucial to get +Life for each enemy hit by your attacks, since that works in the darkness and is a superb attribute for sustain, get that on an elder ring (see below my example).

One question for KissMeQuick - do you think Vaal Pact should not be taken? Anything you disagree with on the above?

Gear below - will transition to a well-rolled Loreweave, but using Belly for now for sustain. I'm at 6.8-6.9K hp, but in theory, with 50life jewels, I could add another 100-120 flat life easily not considering gear upgrades. I was hesitant to upgrade to Loreweave so far as Belly gives a shit-ton of life. Any questions or feedback greatly appreciated. P.S. crafting a merciless pdps weapon is a pain in the ass, I've spent 1-1.5K alterations and I think I've only seen merciless roll once. The Jester div cards is an option, but not great results so far. They don't drop often (map to farm for it is Villa T12). Probably going to save money for an upgrade, although people overprice those high pdps swords like mad.

Yeah agreed. My Stat Stick has 'supported by faster attacks', so got the Whirling Blades pseudo 4-link with Blood Magic and Fortify.
Definitely dump the mana flask and I would get a Starkonja with an enchant, it was cheap even 1-2 weeks ago and only cost me 1ex.
