[3.16] Lazy Lacerator - Half Block Gladiator

"

I don’t have enough mana for Herald of Purity, Pride and War Banner at the same time. There is only 13 unreserved mana, but Lacerate cost is 33. What should I do? For now on, I just run with War Banner which is off.

Hi, I've never tried a build based around max block/spell attack and I really needed to do something different.

I am just in yellow maps at the moment and have a poverty set-up with about 3ex to spare.

Some questions for now:

1. What's the min base block you should go for? I was hitting 75% with 64% with procs then my chest and anointment solidarity put me up to 73% baseline. Is that too much since I am wasting % with procs?

2. What's the best second alternative for anointment? Is it dirty techniques? I took solidarity because it was cheap and with -19% on that gem I needed the ares.

3. Do you hold down lacerate hotkey or let it fire 3x before you press it again?

4. What should I upgrade next? I am assuming it's the weapon but I am hopeless at crafting and the prices are mind-boggling.

5. Is there a softcap on attack speed?

6. Is "The Surrender" comparable to the rare shields? It's very expensive though.

1. In the original build I try to hit 67% block standing in Hideout, that gives you 78% with Tempest Shield on and after you've been hit recently. I've been playing this in SSF HC the past few days and I only have 52% block in Hideout and I'm surviving okay still (more Hp helps a lot).

2. Dirty Techniques is really strong if you didn't grab it. If you need resists I'd stick with Solidarity for now.

3. I usually just click once per pack of monsters, but holding it down works also. For bosses I hold it down, sometimes they stun you and interrupt the cast.

4. The axe is honestly the biggest damage upgrade by far. But getting the last lab if it's the last bleed one is pretty big too. Unfortunately, the axe is expensive to craft :(

5. You want 4 attacks per second at least (lacerate hits twice), that way you can hit 16 times before your bleeds start to wear off, this offsets the 60% chance on the Axe and you should have big bleeds almost all the time. More attack speed feels good though, getting through maps faster.

6. In my opinion the shaper shield with 5% life on block is better than Surrender shield. Mostly due to it having no resists so it would make getting resists a lot harder on other pieces.


This is my current SSF HC gear: https://pastebin.com/Ai7GrhVN

I don't have the Elder Axe yet because I haven't dropped one to craft, but I cleared a t15 (it was slow) and am blasting through t10 maps comfortably.
