Path of Exile3.0 Build Duelist Glad Vampire: Bleed Flurry Brutality


Fast mapping + Uber Lab farming + Hall of the Grandmasters + all T16 + Shaper +
Uber Atziri (HSC)

(Note: This build guide is an active and ongoing collaboration between Little_MessPM and Bladewing_M; LMPM is natively a Russian language speaker so he asked me to create a guide for his 100% original build. All credit for the build goes to him, and the guide is written from his POV.)
Greetings, and welcome to my guide! After theorycrafting and testing this build in the 3.0 beta to great success, I was shocked when the Fall of Oriath launch ended up
making it even stronger. In the first week of Harbinger league I’ve used this build to
farm lab, destroy all guardians, and kill the Shaper. Oh, and the clear speed is great
too. Sound too good to be true? Bite me! ^^

Build Concept
When I saw the changes to bleed in the 3.0 beta, I made it my mission to push the
mechani to the breaking point. After testing a variety of different skills, Blade Flurry
really stood out as a powerful delivery vehicle for blood-sucking shenanigans. The build’s massive attack speed synergizes extremely well with BF’s mechanics.
3.0 also brought along massive buffs to evasion, which I wanted to abuse both
offensively and defensively. Dual-wielding Dreamfeather Eternal Swords while rocking
Queen of the Forest is just insane right now (please don’t nerf me!).
While evasion is great, POE’s all about defensive layers. In addition to crazy high eva,this build gets decent block chance, ~6k life, and fantastic leech. About the only things I die to are the occasional 1-shot from Shaper / heavily buffed guardians if I’m playing sloppy, but that’s the case for nearly any build these days.

1.Pros
+ Strong (great damage output)
+ Resilient (good survivability)
+ Fast (solid clearspeed)



2.Cons
- Doesn’t get much offensive boost from aurabot (Brutality)
- A few semi-expensive items, especially jewels (though I’m using this as my

league-starter without too much trouble)
- Not immune to phys reflect (totem can handle it for single packs)



 3.Playstyle
Nothing complicated. Use Whirling Blades to dart around the map and Blade Flurry to rapidly deliver tons of phys damage / bleed stacks.



4.Items

For jewels, you want Maximum Life + Physical Damage + Damage. 4th prop is gravy,
but you really want those 3 specifically. Reason-being, *other damage mods can scale up BF or bleed but not both!* Unfortunately these jewels are EX+ at the moment, but they help the damage output substantially.



5.Gem Links
1) Blade Flurry > Faster Attacks > Brutality > Melee Physical Damage > Chance to

Bleed > Increased Area of Effect (Concentrated Effect for bosses)
2) Whirling Blades > Faster Attaks > Blood magic > Fortify
3) Grace > Blasphemy > Vulnerability
4) Cast When Damage Taken > Immortal Call > Vaal Haste > Increased Duration
5) Summon Fire Golem (Stone is fine too) > Minion life > CWDT (I’m lazy)
6) Blood Rage > Enduring Cry > Ancestral Protector



6.Ascendancy
Gladiator of course!
Gratuitous Violence > Blood in the Eyes > Outmatch and Outlast > Painforged



7.Bandit
Krait, Eramir, and Oak are all solid choices. PoB seems to indicate that Oak is slightly
better for this particular build, oddly enough.



8.Pantheon
Arakaali + Tukohama

Note: PoB isn't currently displaying proper Bleed DPS, and doesn't factor in Crimson
Dance keystone and some of the Gladiator node boosts.



10.FAQ
Q: What support gem do I drop if I can only get a 5L QotF?
A: The blue one. While IncAOE is awesome for clear/qol and ConcEffect is amazing
for bosses,the other supports are far more crucial overall.

Q: Is this build HC-viable?
A: Yes, but keep in mind that this build was created/tested in SC; this isn't intended tobe some sort of afk HC Shaper farmer. If you want to try this in HC, I would
recommend modifying your priorities towards additional defense (should be commonsense for HC players, but I get this question a lot).

Q: Wait, doesn't that mean the build posted here is super rippy?A: ... No.

Q: Can this build do (insert content)?
A: Check the 'Videos' section at the top.

Q: Help!!! I have more questions!!!?
A: First, check to see if the question's already been answered in the thread; odds are it has. If not, post you questions here in the thread so others can benefit from the
answers as well. I've tried to respond to everyone who's pmed me here or whispered
me in-game, but the frequency and volume of requests has gotten past the point where I can reasonably get back to everyone and still have time to actually play. ;)

How to Open Your Poe Mystery Boxes?

How to Open Your Mystery Boxes After purchasing some Stormcaller Mystery Boxes, you can find them in your microtransaction stash in-game waiting to be unwrapped. Note that these Mystery Boxes have random outcomes. Some items are rarer than others. You are guaranteed to get an item that is worth at least what you paid for it (30 points) and it's statistically more likely that you'll receive something of higher value. In this box, the most common item is a Regular Stash Tab. Path of exile've just released the Stormcaller Mystery Box which will be on sale until the end of the Breach Challenge League. Each box grants you one random Stormcaller-themed microtransaction, with value equal to at least that of the box (30 points). There are 36 awesome prizes to win including two armour sets, a new back attachment and other new effects! Check out this video compilation of all the microtransactions contained in the Stormcaller Mystery Box! Existing Microtransactions in the Box: ...

Path of Exile: Improve Exalted Orbs Drop Rate

One of the important reasons why ARPG like PoE attract players is that a lot of experience and rewards are enough to drive players to explore in the game. Many players are very interested in how to increase the drop rate of currency and equipment. Some people may be annoyed that PoE Exalted Orbs is not enough. After reading this article, think about it again. Exalted Orbs can drop randomly from mobs, chests, etc. from practically any zone; I don't believe they are limited to maps or other higher-tier zones. The simplest way of increasing your chances to see an Exalted Orb drop is to kill more mobs, open more chests, and turn over more rocks. You can also get Exalted orbs from certain Divination Cards, including Abandoned Wealth which drops in Arsenal and Vault maps, and The Hoarder which can drop in The Belly of the Beast level 1 and 2, The Harvest, and the Vault map. Farming those locations may ostensibly increase your chances. I suppose it's also possible to get...

Path of Exile: Ramble about Endurance Charges

In poe, every day, players from all over the world play in it. Many players choose to share their anecdotes and experiences in the game, so today I want to talk about a thing that is rarely noticed. Both Frenzy and Power charges have plentiful ways to keep them up. So much so that even skills that eat them such as Flicker Strike (Frenzy) or Cold Snap (Power) are easily able to manage them (Cold Snap not being in a good place atm has nothing to do with its charge requirements). But what of Endurance Charges? Well, as Tectonic Slam has recently showcased, the moment endurance charge generation is stressed it just quickly falls apart. Even Juggs struggle to keep T.Slam always at max coverage (and anyone who imagined a Chieftain could keep it up was quickly disabused of that idea). The other specific Endurance-consuming skill in the game - Vigilant Strike - is barely seen (sure it's namelock, but that's not the only reason it doesn't get used). What's more, the met...
