Path of Building Code

Build Overview

BUDGET BLEED BLOCK BLADESTORM is a build designed to be EXTREMELY cheap, while still providing full t1-t17 mapping capabilities in early league Grinding! We achieve this by utilising high block & INSANE Life REGEN thanks Jack, the Axe and the Gladiator Ascendency, while also getting solid damage with Bleed/Impale Synergies!

Please note, the goal is to keep costs low, so gear will be minimal and high cost gems etc wont be included.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Amethyst Ring

GEAR:

Gearing is very CHEAP and simple. We can get by with bad gear due to the KEY Gear we use. So all displayed gear above is just an example and shows even bad gear is enough for the builds purpose.

UNIQUES:
Get yourself a Haemophilia gloves as soon as you can. This will be our only source of Bleed EXPLOSIONS until we can get Jagged Technique as our last ascendency.

Jack, the Axe is my unique item i designed back in closed beta and is the KEY item for this build! We use its unique skill "Thirst for Blood" as our main sustain, as it allows for a massive 2000 Life regen per second while enemies around you are bleeding. Thirst for Blood also increases our damage with bleeding itself. A MUST have item for this build.

Rumi's Concoction will be helpful while leveling until we cap out our block, then you can swap it out for any other flask.

The Overflowing Chalice is a no brainer addition with its 40% increased damage, Consecrated Ground and increase to other flasks charge sustain.

Optional: Azadi Crest is highly recommended for late maps and pinnacles.

RARE GEAR:
For all rare gear we want to focus the following:
Elemental Resistances to cap at 75%
Chaos Resistance to cap at 75%
Life & Amour

For Rings we NEED "Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Mana". So Try get it on both rings as well as your resistances.

Amulet can anoint Discipline and Training but its not required and can blow out the budget.

FLASKS:
We want to get a life flask with "Instant recovery on low life" so we can pop it if we get hit by a rather nasty attack. Other then that, we have the two unique flasks mentioned above with the addition of a Quicksilver to decrease our travel time.

JEWELS:
The only jewel we use for this budget build is a "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you" jewel. Other rolls don't really matter as we only use it for Corrupted blood immunity.

LEAGUE ITEMS:
This league we have some sweeeeeeeeeet items that add to our builds!

We will be using the Impaling Uulgraft and Battering Uulgraft's to complement our build.

Battering Uulgraft is a MONSTER of a damage dealer! Summoning 4 giant hands to slap the crap out of any rare or unique mobs on the screen. I've had moments were these hands would just 1 shot Rare's before i even get close to them. Great for supplementing out lesser single target capability's.

Impaling Uulgraft on the other hand, add a chance to apply an additional Impale on enemies, which means more Bleed Multiplier from our Physical Mastery listed below.

The Tree:

The tree is designed to get maximum defence while also utilising impale to increase bleed multiplier

Leveling tips:
Pick up the first Life and Mana Leech node below Vitality Void to help with early mana sustain. Refund when you acquire a mana leech ring.

Obtaining Hatchet Master early will speed up the campaign substantially due to the early onslaught access.

Suggested Passive Node Order:

In the first area, we want to grab Art of the Gladiator, Bravery, Master of the Arena and then Defiance.

Pathing through Golem's Blood, we want to get Hatchet Master then Savage Skewering for a big boost in speed and damage potential.

Returning back to the left we grab Dirty Techniques, Testudo, Adamant, Versatile Combatant and our first Mastery (listed above) in the Adamant circle.

From here we will go back to the start and grab Mana Flows to help further with mana issues. Then Bloodletting, Brinkmanship and Merciless Skewering followed by its Mastery (listed above).

Now we grab Bastion Breaker, Bloodless and As The Mountain along with all their masteries (listed above).

Now we may be having accuracy issue by this point, If so, Grab Resolute Technique. Otherwise, continue up and grab Aggressive Bastion, Cleaving, Slaughter and Cannibalistic Rite along with any masteries we have selected (listed above).

Now if you did not grab Resolute Technique before, grab it now then grab Barbarism, Savage Wounds and the near by jewel slot.

Moving back down the tree, grab Master of Wounds and Harvester of Foes along with its mastery (listed above).

Ascendency Order:

Block is the most important part of the ascendancy as we can do without the bleed arm until end game. So grab Determined Survivor and More Than Skill as soon as possible. Then use the rest of the points to get Gratuitous Violence and Jagged Technique.

Skills:

Here I will go over each skill, their use and linked supports.

Bladestorm of Uncertainty
Links: Rage Support > Faster Attacks Support > Melee Physical Damage Support > Brutality Support > Pulverise Support

Our main attack skill, Bladestorm of Uncertainty is a great AOE skill that does decent damage and allows us to drop storms where we want while keeping up our positioning options. You can use Bladestorm instead but will lose a bit of DPS. We link Bladestorm of Uncertainty with the normal AOE Physical gems (Brutality, Melee Physical & Pulverise) But also add in Rage Support along with Faster Attacks Support to get more DPS.

Leap Slam
Links: Faster Attacks Support > Fortify Support

Our travel skill and our source of Fortify. We use this to zoom through the map while dropping storms. The linked Fortify Support allows a almost 100% uptime of Fortify without prior investment.

Cast when Damage Taken Support
Links: Blood Rage > Vaal Molten Shell

We run a CWDT setup that keeps Blood Rage active which allows for life leech and frenzy charge generation. This adds to the GOTTA GO FAST feel. Next we link Vaal Molten Shell to allow Molten Shell to pop on damage taken and allow us to pop Vaal Molten Shell manually when ever things get a lil hairy. Good Defensive and offensive setup.

Vulnerability
No Links

We cast this on anything that's a bit tanky, like Unique bosses.

Berserk
No Links

Same as Vulnerability, we pop when we need a little more DPS.

Blood and Sand, Flesh and Stone & Pride
No links

The trifecta of AOE Auras and stances. We have these active at all times and generally stay in blood stance for the extra damage it provides us.

How it Plays

We Leap Slam in to packs and drop a storm from Bladestorm of Uncertainty, then LAUGH MANICALLY as everything EXPLODES in a pile of gore.

Fast and effective at mapping with great defence.
