hey everybody ronro here, and I've been playing ler gladiator from the leag start. The build is showcasing great results so far, being amazingly thanky easy to play, and has nice DPS too. Now it's time to move it to another level and make lesser blade Gladiator Uber level strong. We can now easily kill Uber bosses and practically one-shot everything into s, including instant boss stages. The gate introduces a lot of new mechanics which could be hard to navigate, so I will also explain exp all the changes, pointing out what to get first and how to proceed. As always, the gate itself is pretty in-depth so check timestamps for particular questions, and let's go. So how the build works now? We're still using aggravated bonus from Gladiator since it gives us a very easy access to high damage blades. More than skill helps us to rise our block chance to the W 88%, and gratious violence helps us with clear with satisfying bled explosions. After that, we are using cabinet mechanics to benefit from the

charges us or panels GS damage over time multiplier, and faster bleeding for every fry charge that we have, and we can stack at least nine charges without crazy investment. To make sure that charges are always up, we will use heric patients, which will give us 100% uptime on all the charges that we have. To get all benefits from them, we can also utilize alicious Delight to receive Affliction charges instead of frenzy, since her cash is already granted us bonus from frzy, even if you don't generate them. So, this is the place for replicas for four C and A play, to make sure that we have maximum uptime on Affliction charges too, because it generates them constantly. All those mechanics working together, we literally skyrocket our DPS, making the build easily Uber viable. So, have we reaching at least nine fry charges, we have three basic charges by default. After that, we will use strangle gasp amulets that can be anointed four times to get plus two charges from the passives on the three that we can't.

reach one more will come from the three at 7 Tre. That we can take one from alicious Delight, one more from synthesized gloves, which could be pretty cheap currently, and one more from masterful form ascendancy node from Slayer that we can get from forbidden flame and forbidden flash combination. So the first set of items that you need to get when you are building towards that build composition is pretty much oor Penance, relocation patience, and alicious Delight. So oor Penance and relocation patience works very good together. Relocation is going to give you automatically maximum number of frenzy charges, and you will receive all the bonuses for zorer Penance, such as damage time multiplier, and bleeding you inflict deals damage faster just based on that combination. And alicious delight can give you a chance to pretty much get Affliction charges. So if you're using blood Rage or cold snap, for example, instead of generating frenzy charges, they're going to generate Affliction charges, and it's going to boost your DPS significantly. So oor

Penance and Delicious Delight both are very cheap, and the only really expensive item here is Relic cash. So, another very important thing is pretty much using blood tinure. Blood tinure right now can give you from 20 to 30% of DPS based on your setup, and it's very easy to use. If you have Mana, it can give you up to 120% increased damage with bleeding and about 44% of damage over time multiplier, which is absolutely amazing and probably going to do cap you if everything in the belt is working correctly. Another important thing that pretty much doubles our durability is masterful form that we can get from forbidden flame and forbid and flush. Masterful form is going to provide us with endurance charges in the same capacity as we have frenzy charges, and since we have nine frenzy charges at least, we will be able to receive nine endurance charges. It's going to significantly boost our durability, and the build is going to tank much better with it, so I would say it's one of the most important

upgrades here, and if you can get it, get Masterful Form as fast as possible. It will also give you a +1 fory charge, which is nice too. Another cool tag that we can use is pretty much using Light of Minion Prismatic juel to cap our chaos resistance. So if we will play that juel into that socket, we will be able to receive a crazy amount of chaos resistance. So for example, as you can see right here, my chaos is 72, but without Light of Minion, it would be -24. So just from one item, we go from -24 up to 72%, which is absolutely amazing. It will provide you +4% of chaos resistance per each nor around like in the radius, and it's a very cool bonus, and I definitely recommend you to use it. So talking about managing our mana cost, since we are losing our amulet and amulet is going to be struggle as we will have some issues with mana cost for our skills, and there's

a few things that can help us to pretty much mitigate our Mana. So currently the most important part for it is cannibalistic r k bistic r is going to give us 10% of less money cost because it will be moved to life, and 15% reduced money cost just on the skill itself. And there also will take 8% of money cost here, but I think it's not enough, and most of the time I recommend to take life Mastery too, so skills will cost life instead of 15% of money cost. All that together, we pretty much lead our curses to a cost of 14 mana and our main skill to a cost of 20 Mana. It's also very important to roll non chel scales have minus 7 Mana to Mana cost, and if you will use quality modifiers like life and Mana modifiers on your ring, you're going to receive minus 8 to Total Manos on both ring. That's a very good step forward, and you will feel much better with your Mana cost because of that. So try to do that.

we will be able to outle most of the Mana, so don't worry about it. However, still try to roll all of those steps to pretty much make your life easy, especially with two curos up. It also lead us to a pretty interesting question: what kind of annoying we will need to use at our strangle gasp. So, generally, I recommend to go for feror and frenetic for plus one maximum fry charge. On top of that, we can get Charisma to pretty much higher minor reservation efficiency of skills, and the last part should be visper of Doom. So, I think visper of Doom is a very cool pick because it will give us a chance to use two curses together with this normal vulnerability that we're already using. We can also use punishment, and punishment is going to both help us significantly with DPS against enemies at low life. So, after enemy will pass 50% of life, and we'll also help us debilitating enemies that way they will do less damage to us, so our superability will increase. I think second cures is definitely worth it.

because we will be able to easily automate both of those cures at the same time just by using aut exertion and battle mage cry. I have a separate video about that case, so if you're interested in how to automate it and how exactly it works, check out the pin comments or the description. I have that video there, but right now, since we can easily automate both of them, I think it's perfectly worth to take the second curse, and punishment is a very good pick for it. Another important question is how we are getting our Le since we pretty much got R of life and man. We can now properly move to Cluster juel setup. In cluster juel setup, our biggest juel should have F the fury, F the fight, and Marshal progress. All of that together will give us a pretty decent source of Lech. F the fury is going to help us with leion life. Fuse the fight will help us with leion Mana. Both of those are very important for the build sustain, so try to get classer juel with

both. After that, we can also go for two smaller jewels, such as medium-classer jewels. I prefer to go for Circling Oblivion and Flow of Life. Circling Oblivion will give us more duration of ailments and is going to help us with higher bleed duration. It's definitely good because that way it will be easier to fish for it. Flow of Life is going to help us with the amount of life that we currently have because we are losing some life on items with life regeneration. It'll give us a little damage over time that's about 2% currently, so I definitely prefer that. You can also take like chaos resistance or chaos resistance and Elemental resistances as your small passive skill bonuses. It's also very important to understand that currently we really need to recover 4% or 5% of life when you block on shelf. It's going to be a main source of sustain for the build because it's going to help us significantly with pretty much just

survive and butter, and it's very recommended especially heavy density Maps when a lot of enemies are hitting us at the same time. Uh, moving forward and talking about auras, they're still using Herald of Purity because Herald of Purity is a very nice pick and pridey stays as well, but the Lost Aura is changed. I think we can use malal right now so perfectly. You will need to use zorer panel with socketed skill gems, have 90% cost reservation multiplier together with enlightening support level four, and after that you will be able to feed in malevolence. You will have around like 80 men after it, and it's pretty much enough to feel comfortable in most cases. However, if you don't have high lightning or you don't have aor pant with 90% cost reservation multiplier, you can get rid of malevolence and just use summon skitterbots instead. With summon skitter BS, you will have much more Mana. You can get rid of enlightening completely or

use enlightening level three. Three and it will be pretty much enough. So while you're progressing, try to use skitter bols instead. And after you will have enlightning together with zor per pance, you will be able to swap in malavan. Because malavan can give a little more damage. Currently. So another important question is how to cap our block. Now I changed a few things in our approach to block. Keen we currently have 88% with lucky bonus and 90% block chance for attacks. Pretty much I dropped tudo and decided to pick as a mountain instead. Because as a m can provide 3% to maximum chance to block attack damage. I'm also using block Mastery here because block Mastery is a little better than Shield Mastery for it. But the last part is a little different. We will need to use at least one tattoo. At least one tattoo of the vaka shell Bearer. That tattoo is good going to cap our spell block chance. Because without ttoo, we will have around

86%, so that's a very important part. Also, keep in mind that you will need to craft at least 6% chance to block spell damage on your shell. And if you don't have such luxury, you definitely need to repec Shield Mastery back. So, you will be need to just rep in up if you don't have spell block on your shell. Just keep it in mind and make sure that in PO with configuration, have you blocked recently clicked. You have a c block, and without, you should have 65 and 68 the same way as you have on game. So, another great question is how we receiving Affliction charges for our alicious Delight. Since we already have all bonuses for moric patients and frenzy charges, we will need to generate additional frenzy charges because instead of frenzy, we're going to generate Affliction. So, to generate fliction fast and without any issue, we will need to use replica FAL. For a replica faral for will give us gain up to maximum number of frzy and endurance.

charges when you gain cat agility, and they're going to get cat's agility every time when Buffs are changing. So when you have aspect of the cat active, you receive cat agility, then cat's talons, then cat's agility. It's a pretty important sequence because we are going to receive our frenzy charges. What's important about that, we will need to put our aspect of the cat skill on some of the items, and I recommend putting it on the shield. Because on the shield, we will be able to use sockets to raise our uptime for it, and we also you'll be able to get additional suffix on Shield without any issue. So after you put aspect on the cat on the Shield, you're going to use it because of repx far 4 aspect of the cat will have no man reservation, so you don't need to worry about it. You will need to use specific support to make sure that you always have the charges. It's less duration, and you need to put it in the Shell because less duration is going to lower the

duration of both your cast agility and cast St since you have less duration. It will be able to run out before your charges are out, and you will receive new charges all the time. So as you can see right now, my charges up here are working just fine, and there's not any issues with them. And I have 100% up time. But if I will take Les duration out, as you can see, the timer of the charges can pretty much go down. It's not happening immediately, and we will need to wait at least a little, but there will be downside time. And it's definitely not good because we want to have the maximum of DPS all the time. So right here, for example, as you can see, I lost the charges, and I will need to wait at least three more seconds for them to come back again. So I just recommend to use less duration because that way you'll have 100% up time without any kind of issue. Another important question is fortify. I still think that fortify is pretty much worth it, and I recommend to use it as a

supp gem. However, it's not really providing a lot of DPS, only 20%. And we have a few different options for it. It's still give us a pretty decent amount of s abilities, so I would say Val you are mapping 45 is still worth it. However, for Bing and some other kind of encounters, you can run for something else. So generally, endurance CH on Mill is a great option because it's going to give you more damage per endurance charge. And since we have a lot of endurance charges, it's going to help significant play. It's also going to give very low Mana cost for a pretty significant part of damage. Cruelty is not good because we're not going to receive enough heat damage to pretty much stock cruelty on any decent Target such as rare or bigger bosses or anything like that. So there's also an option of awaken deadly elements, and I think it's a pretty decent option too. However, it will raise your money consumption, and it can cause some issues. So genuinely you can pick awaken deadly.

elements or you can pick endurance charge on millone. So both of them are working and there's not a lot of issues for them. So 36% for endurance charge and 53 for awaken elments. Choose the ones that will work for you and in mying. I still recommend to run 45 even for Less damage because it's going to feel much better in terms of tankiness and throwability. So another important question is pretty much how we are reaching C strike. Generally I recommend to use at least one retaliation scale. Usually it should be eviscerate or blade storm. Both of them are kind of good but I prefer V because I think it has like bigger AOE and it will also cause bleed in and they'll clear pretty good for you. You can roll it with sculling strike and Main support. Main support is going to give you additional physical damage to your lerate too. So make sure to hit your enemies with M uh and with to pretty much main them and cing strike is just a nice thing because you can still get it.

at some moment, we don't have enough links to pretty much use falling here because I still recommend to use a war banner and V Brer can provide some part of DPS, and it still could be very good. So, since it's a dedicated build video, I also wanted to give you a quick overview of the items. So generally foror pance, you just need to roll corruption for socket skill gems, get a cost reservation multiplier. The rest is pretty much not important. For fals 4, try to get increased armor and reg gen percentage as high as possible because it's going to raise your armor and evation rating. For r k, just Kos resistance is important, and if you can get corruption, that will be nice. You will need gloves with plus one to maximum fry charges, and if possible, try to get atic speed there, and maybe increase damage while lein, which could be pretty nice too. On your Shi, you'll need an open suffix to buff aspect of the cat, and additional physical damage reduction and chance to block is always good, but the most

important part is a recover percent of life when you block. It's going to help you to survive much better so go get that on your rings. I just generally recommend to take intelligence and resistances. That's pretty much the only thing that's important here. Also, you'll need to have open prefix to craft minus Mana so it's literally the same on my second ring. So dexterity always comes from there so try to get butter Rings if possible and for your axe it's very important to just row High physical DPS X and get damage your time multiplier for bleeding from Heats with that Weapon. It's Elder per effects um if you're going to craft it keep it in mind and for Alicia I recommend Pride increased or of effect corruption because that's a very nice one everything else is not that important. It's just there for affliction charges and maximum fry charges and at strangle gasp I already showcase what you will need to anoint however here it is so keep it in mind so talking about R three everything is pretty easy and

understandable too. We just go down here pretty much taking both this type of Felding and this type of Slaughter. They're also taking charge Master because it's very important one later. I recommend to take less damage taken from damage your your time because it's a nice one to you. You need to take maximum fry charge and light of Minion is going to provide us with all chaos resistance possible from all of those knots. Also, veratile combatant is very important too to coverer your block. After that, just go to the left pretty much take blood lightting take Sol still go for master wounds. I recommend to go for bleed durations at higher levels so if you can just pick that instead. Here we are taken as a mountain together with block Mastery to block better. I still keep Slaughter right here but you can repick for Cle if it's necessary because for different build setups it could provide different results. We don't really need R so it's definitely an option. Armor Mastery from plus one to

Maxum momental resistance is a very good thing. Here we have a cluster. I already showcase that, but it's very simple. It's phys Fury Marshall proofs F the fight, and for small ones just like Circle Oblivion and flow of life. And after that, we're also taking theic techniques and vanisher together with more maximum physical attack damage because that's nice. I still recommend to use resol technique because it's much easier than buzzer with most of the accuracy of things. And I think it's just like a better way to get it. So that's pretty much the whole three. Another very important part is po about tattoos. So I'm using tattoo of kava warriors on my S Notes because we don't really need a lot of strength here. So tatos can provide about 1% of damage. And if you want to get them in, make sure that you're getting them. So that's pretty much it. We will also need one tattoo such as tattoo of vaka shell Bearer here to pretty much cap your block. I already

mentioned that however don't forget about that part so another important part is a bed cap. As you can see, we should receive believe DPS exceeds in-game limit in the left part of Po when we have all effects up. So the most important part here is enemy on the low life. So from the half life, you're going to receive a huge DPS bonus because you're using punishment. And if you have that bonus, he will be DPS capped for bleed. They're also getting a lot of damage from blood team CH effect. So make sure you always reuse your blood CH. So when all of those effects are up to calculate your damage further, it will be very important to change it to Uber Pinnacle boss. That way you'll be able to see how it's working. For example, if you will add a banner on top. I don't have it activated that often. Our damage will rise. However, if we will still use guardian and Pinnacle ball calculation and we will use biner. As you can see, numbers are barely changing. So in higher configurations, I recommend

to use Uber Pinnacle boss calculation to pretty much see how much damage you will receive from different bonuses. So what would be a great next update? Generally, we can receive a ring with plus one to maximum frenzy charge. That way, if you will receive such ring, we will be able to mirror it with ring of colandra. And that way, you have plus two charges. That's a great step forward and should be used in most cases. We can also receive plus one charge as the Shel. So it's a possibility to run a better shell if you will find a synthesiz based for it. The rest will need to be crafted, so it will be a little annoying and we will lose some of the bonuses. However, it's still possible. It could help us a lot. Generally, I would go for the ring first because that would be the biggest upgrade without losing a lot. So that's been my bedless red Gladiator belt. It's been amazing to play this. He just sold tanky and the DPS right now is Uber boss vial, which feels completely amazing.

it's been quite all right. Thank you very much for watching, and see you next time or on out.
