Got lucky and got myself Divergent Blood and Sand! the build is shaping up decently so far. if you dont mind me asking another noob question, is life leech useless for this build?

Cause i dont see you use any of them, i know this build is not yet updated for latest league but with the flask nerf and all, it feels like its a bit hard to get back my life flask filled back up, so im thinking of getting some but idk if its a waste of point or not. So would love to hear your opinion first. I'm eyeing the gladiator perseverance's specifically btw.

I forgot to mention Bloodrage which will give you life leech.

why Divergent Blood and Sand? divergent give spell damage but lacereit no have tag spell

I don't see Divergent Blood and Sand mentioned anywhere.

im going to follow this build, at what level would you take crimson dance, if not early on?

I think when you get Multistrike is a good time.

How do you blast the acts? I assuming you're not using Lacerate until you get bleed explosions, feels terrible so far - using Splitting Steel unlinked and it feels smoother. Thanks.

I did level using Lacerate from beginning to end this league because slam got heavily nerfed too. What I recommend is do not use melee physical damage until 5/6 links or have decent attack speed. Use chance to bleed or cruelty as a substitute. Also, pride uses too much mana early on, try herald of purity. Attack speed is crucial to feel the “blast”, unfortunately, you generally don’t feel that way running through acts but I do promise you once you hit maps everything will be better. I forgot, get an ancestral protector totem.

Although doable, I don't recommend this build for league SSF. For a couple of reasons:

1. There are a couple of quality of life uniques that you want to have.
2. Leagues generally reward you with more currency which does not benefit SSF other than for crafting purposes.

Although this build is beginner friendly (the guide is not), it does not go into specific leveling details. I am building a PoB with those information but likely won't be available before 3.16.

So, with just Surrender (70c) and a random Jack, the axe I had laying around along with a bunch of random hand me down life / resist rares....I've been able to STOMP introductory red maps around level 75...Stomped uber lab at 70 almost directly after finishing kitava. This build is BIG, I just wish the beginning acts weren't so rough - definitely recommend putting lacerate on backbar until it picks up. You need some attack speed to make the animation not suck, I didn't realize the attack speed nerf from melee phys was so bad. Once you get the uber lab done if you have Surrender you are essentially immortal, I've only got 3.3k hp and I'm just walking thru all content. I have to attempt to kill myself, or do something really dumb to die. Loving the build, I think if I pick up another 2k life this build is going to be easily the most immortal build I've ever played.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, pushing red maps on a 5 link, and gems aren't even qualitied yet LOL. Shit, a lot of the gems are only level 18.
