PoE 2 [0.5.5] MasterT's Ordained Blood Angel ft. Lightning Spears

Heeello Internet, this is the Righteous Lightning Bloodmage, my spin off on a bleed variant for the The Ordained unique spear from the new arbiter of divinity. The build uses Lightning Spear, Herald of Blood and Herald of Thunder for clear, and Righteous Descent for a massive slam nuke vs very tanky enemies. I've always loved the theme of this spear and I wish we had Red MTX For lightning spear to match the Thaumaturge Herald Mtx that makes herald of thunder become red instead of blue.

The build is quite fast, using Blink and Headhunter (which is incredibly cheap at this stage of the league) so it's all fun times while we wait for the big 1.0 patch.

A full explanation of how the build works and is played is in the video guide. Please watch it so you know if this is something you want to try out.

IMPORTANT:

If you are familiar with my builds, you will know I make very detailed progression, budget tiers, and high power builds and very in-depth written guides.
This build is not like that, for the 0.5.5 event there isn't much to really do so I just wanted to make a few builds with some unique playstyles, fun visuals, and most importantly I wanted to see how Bleed feels right now, so that I can be more ready for it when swords are released in 1.0 since 50% of sword skills have a big focus around bleed.

So I apologize that this guide isnt as hyper detailed or flexible, it's just an extra thing for fun before 1.0

F.A.Q:

Why Does Berserk have Armour Break in it?

The Extra Red Gems Are to Have a Red Gem Majority for Crystallised Immunities to give you ignite immunity.

How much spirit do I need and how do i get it?

You need a minimum of 360 spirit, you get this with an Alpha's Howl and a Sacred Flame corrupted with %increased spirit, as well as the new helmet soul core that gives you %increased spirit per corrupted item equipped.

Why is my Righteous Descent doing less damage?

You need to weapon swap to your main weapon set manually before using the skill, otherwise it will use the weapon set tree you have set for lightning spear instead.

I'm having attribute issues what do I do?

You will not have enough dexterity to use Lightning spear and herald of thunder in your main weapon set, that is why you will not use those 2 skills there anyway, you'll just turn herald of thunder off in that set.

If you're having strength issues just lower the level of your berserk and eternal rage.

You need 2 rolls of t1 attributes on your gear to be able to run everything at the levels i am running them at. I run blink and blasphemy at level 18, and berserk and eternal rage at level 19

HOW TO CUT SOME COSTS ON THE BUDGET:

You do not need a 2 socket spear.
You do not need a 5 mod timelost emerald (you can skip the notable effect)
You do not Need a +3 proj amulet, it can be +1 or +2 too.
You do not NEED your amulet to be trinity, it can also be eternal rage whatever is cheaper.
You do not need a 4 mod Heart of the well.
You can use a Forgotten Warden body armour instead of a rare, make sure it has atleast 1550 + evasion.

Gloves in path of exile 2 are genuinely a nightmare to craft. The best way to do it is through pure RNG.

For this build, you can use the KATLA's GLOOM rune in the glove to make it be able to roll DECAY modifiers, these decay modifiers have very strong mods for Bleed and Damage over time builds. So follow the following steps:

1: Get a 2 socket Evasion glove base, it can be normal, magic, or rare (NOT DESECRATED), 2 socket bases are really cheap and you do not need the highest tier evasion base, any base will do but the higher the base evasion the better.
2: Put the Katla's Gloom Rune into the glove
3: Make the glove 20% quality with armour scraps
4: Use an Omen of Putrifaction and a Preserved Rib to putrify the item. Now you're going to roll the rng machine and see if you win.
5: Unveil the first modifier WITHOUT A reroll omen.
- If you get a good modifier in the first unveil, you then want to start using Reroll omens for the remaining prefixes. The prefixes are the strongest part for the gloves, but you also want to use reroll omens for the suffixes too IF you got really good prefixes. If you got lucky, you're done right here.
5.5: You will not be lucky. It took me around 30 bases before I got the glove im using in the high budget setup, it can take you more bases or less bases, you can also Settle for a half decent result instead of it being 6 really good mods.
6: Once you do get your good mods, you're done congrats.

Good Modifier List in Order:
Prefixes:
Magnitude of Bleeding
Magnitude of Ailments
Ailments Deal Damage Faster
Flat Damage (non katla mod)
Life
Evasion

Suffixes:
Resistances (If not capped)
Attributes (if you're lacking them)
Attack speed
