Max DPS/SpellBlock/Leech/Explosions!!! The 3.0 DW Blade Flurry Gladiator. Shaper+All Guardians down!

Introduction:

This build is aimed to take full advantage of three 3.0 gems introduced: Ruthless, Maim, and Chance to Bleed. These gems let us depart from the usual elemental conversion builds, and focus on Physical damage for much better leech. With Vaal Pact and Blood Rage, we can facetank every boss in the game that doesn't one-shot through our high health pool (I'm currently at 6753 at level 91). Add Enfeeble+Fortify+Arctic Armour+Less damage taken from Bleeding targets and not a lot of mobs can one-shot us.

Highlights/Synergy:

Ruthless: Ruthless gives us stuns to activate Death's Hand's on-stun effect reliably, giving us crit. It also increases our maximum bleed DPS, though Bleed is currently not strong enough to focus on it is a nice bonus still.

Maim: Due to Blade Flurry's high attack speed and Gladiator Maim on Bleed, we easily apply the Maim effect on mobs which makes them take increased damage, from Bleed Explosions as well.

Chance to Bleed: Due to our build's focus on high base attack speed for Blade Flurry+Bleedsplosions, Chance to Bleed is a very good addition to our DPS and makes our bleed explosions more reliable.

Block: We get enough block on the tree and jewels to get 75% spell block with Rumi's active. Great for safe clearing and some bosses.

Leech: We get Leech from a lot of sources thanks to our damage being mostly physical, and together with Vaal Pact and very high attack speeds we get to full life almost instantly every time we're hit.

Bleed Explosions: We have 75% chance to bleed and very high attack speed so every mob procs the explosion. This really helps Blade Flurry which isn't the strongest clearing skill (but it is the strongest melee DPS skill).

DPS: Dual Wield+Crit+Blade Flurry is a deadly combination that lets us reach very high levels of DPS.

Reflect: This build can run Double Reflect maps with the Flesh-Eater mace.

Skill gem setup:

1. Blade Flurry + Chance to Bleed + Melee Physical Damage + Ruthless + Maim + Concentrated/Increased AoE

2. CWDT + Enfeeble + Increased Duration + Immortal Call

3. Hatred + Arctic Armour + Ice Golem + Ancestral Protector

4. Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Fortify

5. Blood Rage + Vaal Lightning Trap + Increased Duration (Important to keep it on a weapon for cancelling Blood Rage with weapon swap)

Gear:



Jewels all have 1% DW block and Life. Crit Multi is the best DPS mod we can get on them as well.

Skill Tree: Level 91

Bandit: Alira

Important Notes:

1. Cancel Blood Rage with Weapon Swap if you encounter downtime

2. Get Elreon's Ring to have more whirling blades uptime and a blade flurry that costs almost no mana.

3. Ascendancy order is Bleed Explosions first, Spellblock second, and lastly the Maim/Bleed node for better DPS and tank.

It's good for leveling, but once you get more leech the life becomes more important.

Yes, good to start with. But once you get the crit nodes you want a sword with base crit (6% at least).

I didn't record my shaper run because I was learning the mechanics, and mechanic deaths end up distracting from build showcase videos. For whatever it's worth, I did it with two portals left on my first ever shaper run which is a solid indication of the build's strength.

I'll try to get a clean vid done over the weekend.

Increased damage while leeching doesn't work with vaal pact, so you just get leech, resists and stats. Still good, but you can get rare amulets below an exalt that give you better bonuses.
