[Music] Can I interest you in some Lira tear Ray CL is a cursed lad you'd have to be mad to settle here hi s here with another build for the upcoming 325 league, and this is going to be a last raid Gladiator looking really comfy, and this is a bleed build. Now, bleed always looks a little low in DPS on the sheet, but what's so nice compared to other builds is that bleed has like there's no ramping here. We're not using Crimson dance, so you hit the target once, and your full DPS is applied instantaneously. This will make it feel really good compared to other builds that maybe have like situational damage or downtime between damage where you need to move, etc. In this build, you're pretty much always at your like top damage, which is it makes it feel a lot higher than what po will say. Please keep in mind that the gameplay footage is shot before 325, so because of that, it is not fully representative of how the build will perform in the next patch.

don't have access to any content before it's out, but we still want to see roughly what the build looks like. There are a lot of Buffs, so it'll be a lot stronger than what you're seeing. And as always, if you consider these pill guides useful, please consider subscribing. It helps us out a lot. Now, this build ends up being a bit of a really nice all-rounder. I would say it's probably more of a bosser, and we are using the new war of attrition. So, the longer you are in a boss fight, the more damage you will get. Another thing that's super nice about this is that we get the bleed explosions that feel so incredibly nice for mapping. So, honestly, very nice all-rounder, and especially in software. They should be able to take all the Ubers, and honestly, you can face tank a lot of the moves. You cannot face tank Uber Cus meteor, but you can face T with the end-game Gary Uber shaper slam and a lot of like things like may even

Fireball etc. with Molten Shell up, so it looks really good for both. This build is one of the select few that we offer in a written version over at Max Roll. The written guide will have everything detailed from leveling, skill gems, gear, and much more. Way more in-depth than the video guides will offer. They won't be up immediately as the video goes live, but you will be able to find the link in the description as soon as it is available. So, this is Path of Building. If you aren't familiar with how it works, we do have a video that shows how Path of Building works, but we will be using this in all our guides. And as normal, we have a skip step-by-step skill tree here that you can skip through and see. And then we have different end game trees depending if you want more damage for softcore, more specific for bossing, etc., and more like a generic easy one to use if you're wondering what's different between the end game and the bossing one.

it's basically War of Attrition. You won't really need War attrition like mapping, but War attrition is really good for bossing. So you can have Weapon Master instead. So let's talk about our sens here real quick. It is just show you which one to take when here with like normal lab crew lab mer lab, etc. Quite nice. We get Grud as violence. This is like I said, so nice for clearing. We're youting determined Survivor. It's so incredibly easy to block up. We're going to see a lot of this is League starters because Gladiator might not be the best descy to play forever, right? We see a lot of people thefting Slayers, Juggernauts, and other builds, and a lot of things look really good. Gladiator looks like such a nice day one ascendency. Get really powerful at the start of league and make a lot of currency because there are a lot of things for the other builds that will be really expensive, some for this as well, like for example Rus coil is going to be very pricey this league.

with this and the lucky block, I think if the math is right, I think that makes us have like 88 or 90 Block. It's very high, so mapping and stuff like that will feel incredibly nice. You are never going to die to like Rapid Fire Hits on this build. It is going to be big slams that go through your defense that will kill you. However, like I said with the end game stuff and a molten shell up, if we look here, enemy as a boss Uber boss kill preset shap or slam with molten shell up, we can actually survive a shaper slam and it still does need to go through the block. There are a lot of uber abilities that have like can't be block locked Etc so that is very bad for our build but we are still able to tank a lot of stuff so very nice and rounded build here and then we do have the choice between weapon master and War attrition since we have an axe we are getting 30% more damage um when they're

on low life, so basically on average 50% more damage, right? 15%, uh, and then we attrition to deal the same amount of damage against a boss, you would have to stand there for 15 seconds. However, it will keep ramping past that, so this is going to feel really nice. The worse you are and the worse gear you have, because if you haven't been able to gear up properly and you end up being in a bus fight for 100 seconds, you do get 100% more damage, so you do have like a little bit of a helper there. So it's a little, honestly, it's quite nice, especially early. Now you see we do get a decent amount of Max rest, etc., so quite nice. 82, 880, 80 Max R. We have a lot of increased endurance charge generation and different ways to gain them. We have endurance charge on block. We have disciple of the unyielding with the increased charge duration, and then we have plus one endurance charges, so they will last for quite a while.

another thing and people that play explosive Arrow might already be familiar with this, but you see here the combined total damage 17 million. You do not have 17 million DPS. This is um the damage one bleed does. So if you do one last rid on the monster and then stop attacking, it is going to do 17 m million damage. However, the bleed DPS is 4 million. So this is our actual damage, but as I said, it does feel like quite a lot better than that. There's no ramping, there's no downtime, etc. If you go look through our seal section, we have put it into different groups so you can see that it is very, very spaced out, easy to see what gems to have at what different level so you won't be worried about like accidentally having too many gems. Here we have everything with awaken gems and stuff like that, so this is for like the super end game one, and that does put us up to 5.6 million damage. Here in the gear section, we have early game example.

of what gear should look like early. Remember the weapon wetstone recipe with a uh rustic sash needs to be the blue or rare. Then one blacksmith Wet Stone and then a weapon. All the other gear just try to focus on sockets and then use a um like even if it's white put it in the crafting bench and craft resists goes up to 18 so you get very fast R kep by that early game you do want to start getting something like flat Fizz with percentage Fizz and base types are quite important so you do want to look that up the Wikipedia you can look at Poe axis so the best base that you want to use it's not always the one at the bottom both Royal Axe and RAV ax are good but raver ax has a higher top end which is what is important for us here as a bleed build so ravx is good the slower ones are generally better for bleed even though like for a lot of builds like Sund Etc you'd be focusing on uh the high attack

speed bases that is what you're looking for. Other than that, in the early game, you can see that it's mostly just like life and rest, and some suppression when you can get it. And honestly, getting a decent amount of chaos R is good as well. You do want to try capping your chaos R, but at least getting to a decent amount like 30% chaos RIS will be quite noticeable. But since we are using com sign, it is going to be a bit of a challenge to get chaos r on this build. A lot of builds will be using amethyst rings, and that makes it so much easier. But com sign is so powerful because of the endurance charges, and especially now that endurance charges are also your Elemental mitigation. And you can see that our Max hits are really high here. Another thing that's important, this is the beta branch of Po, so we don't have access to everything, but it does have the tree and stuff. It might say something that convert when you're downloading it, but

it is up to date for the new PCH. We do have some things here like custom modifiers for things that aren't added yet to simulate the new PCH. Now we do have N Gear here as well that should be still quite reasonable to get 577 DPS. We're a little unsure because there's a note in the patch notes saying life on um block is removed from Shield but we're thinking that's the life on block not the recover. So the difference there is this is on shaper it's a shaper suffix and we're assuming it's just the natural like flat block that has been removed. So if percentage of Life on block still exists which most likely it does then that is going to be extremely good for uh sustain and everything here is like life and suppression you do aim for 100% suppression on this build and the biggest trouble is going to be getting chaos R honestly taking AA for one point instead of Oak is not the worst idea obviously Oak is quite nice for the life but uh to make it a little

bit less daunting to get the chaos res and normal res. AA is not the worst idea. If we look in the notes, there are a lot of things that you might be asking. All the answers are here for the most part, and you can drop by stream and ask for questions too. Determination, for example, was nerfed a lot, so we are solving that through like just better gear. So one thing that's new is we are using blood magic, especially with the r. Nerfs. It solves so much because we need to invest a lot less into like reservation. We don't need to invest as much into minus Mana cost, so it just frees up so many nodes. And yeah, it just means that you can't really Reserve any other Aura Than Pride. And the way that works is you have pride on Eternal blessing, so you can only have one, and that works pretty fine with blood magic. So now let's talk a little bit about some things that you could mess up with this build. We are not using Jag technique, and that's because we're hitting so fast, so you do want to

like get some attack speed too, and we're getting a chance to aggravate from stuff. And the way that works is that when a target has been aggravated, all the bleeds on that target will deal more damage to it. Now, if you don't like lerate for mapping, and hopefully it should feel fine with the bleed explosions. But if you don't like it, we do have here another alternative that you switch to earthquake. However, for earthquake, instead of Weapon Master, you do want a technique for that because the earthquake is not going to attack as fast, and things will not be aggravated. So you do want to get that on the first hit there. Now, a really nice thing about this build is that you aren't spamming loads of like War CRI Etc., so it is quite a low button clicking build compared to a lot of the builds that we're seeing people make. A lot of people that are making slams will end up having the to they need warnings, right? Like a lot of people don't want to

press like six buttons while they're mapping. I do also have a separate video about how to craft weapons, especially early on. So, if you're not sure on Crafting, make sure you check that out. Either way, thank you guys so much for watching the video. Sub if you like it, but more importantly, try to die less than I do. Good luck at Lear, and I will also be streaming on YouTube this time.

The new bleed build offers high and instantaneous DPS, making it feel more powerful than indicated.

It is a versatile build, suitable for bossing and mapping, with the ability to handle tough enemies and face tank many moves.

The written guide for this build, available on Max Roll, provides in-depth information on leveling, skill gems, and gear.

Choosing Between Weapon Master and War of Attrition for Bossing in Path of Exile

Weapon Master is recommended for bossing, especially for League starters, offering high damage output.

The build provides a strong defense with high block chance, allowing for survival against big hits.

The choice between Weapon Master and War of Attrition depends on the player's gear and fight duration, with War of Attrition offering increasing damage the longer the fight.

Understanding the Explosive Arrow Build in PoE

The total damage of 17 million is not the DPS, with the actual bleed DPS being 4 million.

The guide provides a clear breakdown of gem and gear choices for both early game and end game, emphasizing the importance of specific weapon bases and chaos resistance.

The build's reliance on com sign for chaos resistance presents a challenge, but its power lies in the use of endurance charges for elemental mitigation.

Discussion of New PCH Build and Strategies

The new PCH build includes custom modifiers for simulating the new PCH and aims to achieve 577 DPS with N Gear.

There is uncertainty about the impact of the removal of life on block from the Shield, but the focus on life and suppression is crucial for the build.

Using Blood Magic has become important due to the nerfs, allowing for less investment in reservation and minus Mana cost, while prioritizing Pride as the main aura.

The build opts not to use Jag technique due to its fast hitting nature.

Tips for Building a Low-Clicking Path of Exile Character

Consider using a build with aggravated bleeds for mapping, or switch to earthquake for an alternative.

Look for a build that doesn't require excessive button clicking, like the one discussed, to make gameplay smoother.

If you're unsure about weapon crafting, watch a separate video on the topic for guidance on crafting weapons, especially in the early stages.
