Yeah, I think in your grim tools link you’re using FG ring/amulet augments already.
But I will go with Barrowholme in the end. I suppose bleeding and vitality characters I build can go with Barrowholme with some roleplay thinking. Maybe acid builds too.
Sorry if this is maybe the wrong topic to ask, but… currently got to 85 and leveling in ultimate old Arkovia and I run into the same problem I ran into with my phys/pierce blademaster, and physical melee in general: skeletal knights just slaughter me. If I don’t notice them in time and start kiting, my hp starts plunging fast even with 88% bleeding resistance currently.
Is there a trick for physical/melee builds with reflective mobs? Does it become easier with better gear? Or just “get good/be more careful of reflective”? Did anyone else experience this?
Is this in relation to a bleeding Warder build?
There are some devotion nodes that reduces reflective damage and also ring augments.
Old Arkovia/Undead are the Nemesis of leveling Bleeding Builds. Undead have high Bleeding Resistance and, like you have learned the hard way, can be reflective.
There is only one solution:
Play careful and finish it/this area fast. SoT-Runs for gear are not the best choice. 
@medea_fleecestealer Sorry, I’ve reread my post and indeed I am not mentioning this there. Indeed, this is a trouble I ran into while leveling this build in ultimate. Ran into the same problem with other builds too, generally melee and especially physical melee. Reflective seems to affect physical builds a lot more than others. My lightning warder, for instance, can just be careless with reflective mobs.
@malawiglenn I’d rather stick with the devotions in the build, but I will have a look for the ring enchants until I get to 94 and can equip everything.
@Rhylthar Oki, thank you very much! It helps to know this happens to others with this type of build. I’ll see if I can get to Broken Hills fast and just avoid the area afterwards on this char 
Batman of Styx
I’ll see myself out.
Those dudes are the bane of bleed leveling Just avoid them for now.
I’m actually really sorry i missed this build. This is a fantasitc CD BA Warder @Shoot2033 rly good shit
Well, leveling w/ Soldier wasn’t the best choice.
Blade Arc kinda sucks early, but with 2-hander could possibly switch to Forcewave for a bit 'though would have liked to see, if BA is viable early on…
As far as undead go…No, just no, switching to FW for Veteran/Elite while down in Arkovian Undercity.
What would the Devotion route be and is there same need to tweak it while leveling?
is there any update for this build
Dumb question. Playstyle should be Attacking away with Savagery and using Blade Arc on cooldown (along with using Grasping vines and Roots), correct?
@savage1991 no changes, even this build get some minor buffs after new patch
@Ridgeback yes. Use grasping vines first(clearing trash). If some things survived, than use Savagery and BA on tough enemies
Very enjoyable build, thanks. Simple, powerful, quite mobile, tanky: great for those days when you just want to smash stuff, but don’t want to piano!
Made it myself,feels pretty good to play,shame the next patch is nerfing the head but…i have one issue with this character,any form of strong reflect mob is an instant death sentance it seems,getting a blade arc bleed reflected on you is pretty much game over :<
Made some tweaks after long break since 1.1.5.2 (link)
@deen i don’t optimize this build on non-crucible mode(because reflected damage don’t exist here), but you can sacrifice a bit of your damage to take 2 x titan plates(with owl this setup gives you -81% damage reduction, that be should be enough , even with over 500% increased bleed duration). Also you can use different belts that increases maximum bleed res. or reduced bleed duration
Hey,thanks for the reply and update,yeah I think the 2x titan has to be used,im not sure how this works,but some mobs have a really nasty buffed reflect or something,your hp just almost instantly drops from one of those reflects,specialy if you make the very horrible mistake of getting blade arc reflected
