[3.7] DW Lacerate/Double Strike Gladiator - Budget League Starter
Hello, this is my first build guide.
Note: Since the Legion League hasn´t started yet, I have no footage to show for now. Build Idea Lacerate has been reworked in 3.7 to work with the new Blood and Storm (Stance) Skill. This build will primarily focus on the bleed stance. For mapping we can easily change to sand stance, if needed. The reason why I decided to opt for blood stance is, because I want to do a lot of bossing with this char, while also being able to normally map. Pros & Cons + probably all content viable + budget/league starter + no uniques required / can run on rares only + high survivability (59% block chance/80%+ phys. dmg. reduction/166% inc. life/inc. max resistances) + decently fast mapper - PoB can´t show our true dps, since there´s no way to reliably calculate bleed and it also doesn´t support the 8 times blood stacking from Crimson Dance - not amongst the top clear speed builds, since we focus on blood stance Tree & PoB The PoB provides a level 100 skilltree with some gear and configurations, it´s probably not fully fledged out: https://pastebin.com/HHC2Ttt5 Gear / What to look for

AS) 4 & 5: increased damage with bleeding and increased bleed duration Chest choices for uniques are: Belly of the Beast, Carcass Jack (no armour tho)and Atziris Splendour (Armour version) for a rare chest, we want these mods: 1 & 2: resistance and life (if you can´t get the chest to roll armour, use essence of greed) 3 & 4: flat and %armour 5: socketed gems are supported by level # Maim (you need to spam serrated Fossils to get this mod, but it´s a huge dmg boost, so worth farming it in delve) Amulet unique option: Impresence(physical) rare mods: 1: attributes that you need (probably dex/int) 2: life 3: flat phys. dmg. 4: resistance (if needed) Belt unique option: Belt of the Deceiver (I will go with it) rare (stygian vise for an additional abyss socket): life, res, flat phys. Rings when you have some currency steel rings are BiS mods: 1 & 2: life and resistances 3: attributes that you need (dex/int) 4: flat phys. dmg.

I am trying this build, but am confused about when to use lacerate and when to use double strike. Is one for AOE and the other for single target?
|

You can use lacerate for everything. Double strike is just a alternativ for it.

Your gem link section has sand and storm listed on a 3 link with vulnerability and blasphemy, I'm assuming it's supposed to be a stance gem, so my question is are you trying to run blood and sand, or flesh and stone?
Edit: I'm personally replacing herald of ash with maim now that i am using brutalities in my link setups and maim is linked to flesh and stone for blood stance. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Última edição por yolomancer em 8 de jun de 2019 21:37:51

By sand and storm I meant blood and sand (it gives lacerate more dmg in blood stance and more area in sand stance). Haven´t been able to play that much since my client crashes all the time, hope GGG fixes this soon :/.

What a wonderfully terrible, pointless "guide". Not updated, no information, nothing of any use. I had to comment just because I wasted my time clicking on it.
