[3.17] strTrader Max Block Bleed Lacerate Gladiator -- League Start & End Game v3.17.03.17.22

strTrader, I followed your guide previously. Is there any way to make this build viable again? Or any other Max block gladiator? Because its possibly my favorite ascendancy in the game, max block glad

Edit: I asked because i know glad is in a terrible spot right now.....

I missed the last 2 leagues but I don't think the build has improved. End game has evolved to a state where the focus is on uber bosses or specialized content. It is very difficult for an all rounded build with a DPS cap to outperform.

The build is still viable for mapping and non-uber bosses but as GGG pushes out harder and harder contents, we need something (perhaps a chase unique) to boost our performance.

Thanks strTrader. Just a quick question, is swift affliction better than cruelty? I used to use SA but Cruelty is actually not bad at all I think?

I believe only Awakened Deadly Ailments is better than Cruelty but it will reduce your Fortify on hit if you are running Fortify nodes.

Hi strTrader, first thank you for your guide, it really helps. I follow it for some seasons now.

Just wanting to ask, I got a buff on Malevolence on my Surrender shield this season, do you think it can be better than playing Pride for the increased DoT ?

Thanks.

Hi Apsara, glad to know you are having some success. For Pride vs Malevolence, you can definitely go with Malevolence. A consideration is the price of the Watcher's Eye where Malevolence was much much more expensive than Pride in the past.

Yo you maybe coming back for melee league? Haven't really played since 3.13 so am looking forward to some gladiator action kek.

I will definitely play a bit. I skipped the last few leagues as well so I am exited too. Hopefully I can make some overdue update to this guide by mid league.
