Longtime player thats been on hiatus for almost a year, just wanted to jump in and say how much im enjoying the build. Has brought the fun back to poe for me instead of pushing the meta and trying too hard which frankly burned me out to begin with.

I love playing sword and board and it looks more viable now than maybe it ever has been. bladestorm is fun, ive opted for shield charge for my movement. Only lvl 40 so far but looking forward to see where it goes. Still got a long way to go for proper sockets/links for gems etc.

Quick question, havent read the whole thread so sorry if this has been covered but since we are keeping tempest shield at lvl 1 anyway can i just opt for running cwdt with it over culling strike? or do we not get hit enough to regularly trigger it?

tia, guide is well written and easy to follow.

I am completely new to POE but had some friends that sent me the forums to check some builds, I looked for hours until I came across this one. I really liked the concept of freedom and being able to choose my gear and in that way learn more about the game.

My friends said and still says it's a shit build with the quotes "At least we have a real build and not anything you like as gear" which I don't really care about. I have had so much fun with this build and I keep learning stuff all the time that I wouldn't have if I just followed another build. On a side note this build wrecks everything for me haha, I haven't died once since I started mapping although I'm still on low tiers.

I really appreciate that you have made this and keep up the great work :)

I created my first character in 2013 and have leveled so many toons to the upper 90's I have lost count. Are there better builds out there? Ya, sure but this build does what it does like a champ. Easy to gear, easy to play and easy to master. It is a great build for learning the fundamentals of POE. Your friend may not understand the appeal of being able to roll a toon that you can gear as you go and that has to work hard to hit the harder content. Play your build and eventually you will find another to try, but by that time you will have farmed a bunch of gear and currency with this one. This is a solid and enjoyable build for mapping for most people. The lack of complication and the ease of play are the real benefits. BTW here is my current gear, lvl 89 all ssf. I am creaming red maps with this set up. I went with laceration just because I hit the enchant in lab.

Made it to level 85 and still doing great. A hiccup here and there, but for SSF, remarkably easy ascent. I've got 4 of the 6 final Trials done and several offerings ready once I get them.

I now have 3 watchstones and I'm combining maps for higher tiers and have several yellow ones ready to go. Just plugging along at my own pace and really enjoying it.

I did find this sword and would like some input. It shows lower DPS in the skills tab, however because it's all physical and has the bonuses, I think it's better (albeit slower, which may make it do less damage).

I put it in play and haven't really noticed a difference, I was hoping for a big bump but it feels the same. The other one has fire and cold damage, but not sure. Only thing better is the speed and I crafted Chaos Resist on it.

Still hunting for a 6-link and better gear, but the sword is the only item I can use that I've found in the last 5 levels.

I did find this which looks awesome and makes me want to build a frostblades character next.

Hello there

Before anything I want to thank you for this guide, when I started to play the game all I wanted was to play a gladiator equipped with a shield + sword, it was something taken from me long time ago in wow (gladiator stance) and missed it dearly for years.

I started to follow your build, assigned most of the passive points as your said but at some point I just wanted to be "original" and decided to go with cyclone and a build that, to be honest, I doesn't feel very good. It is extremely tanky but leaving cyclone running for ages against unique and rares is kind of boring.

I want to use bladestorm again, but before following that path I have a question, what are the limits of this build?

It is not like I want to kill sharper or sirius in a flash, or go down to level 500 in the mines, I just want to know when I still start to struggle (if I ever will).

I got my answer after watching some of your youtube videos, I am definitely going back to this build.

Thanks Royella!

I know you were responding to someone else, but I just wanted to thank you for your kind post. A lot detail and experience went into your post and I really appreciate you taking the time to post it. Thank you.

Also, that's an awesome setup! I really like what you've done. Amazing for SSF! So you're finding Imaple working as you hoped?[/span]
