What's next Gladiator video i should do ?

Aight recently i wanted to record one gladiator video but i have no idea on which build i should do it, i thought it could be cool than the community decide so here we go. :>

Physical S&B Witchblade:
Mainly polishment from my last update in 1.0.0.8, finally get ride of haunted steel greatly reduce Gladiator cleartime.

Aether S&B battlemage:
A build around Reworked Mindwarp (RIP elemental version)

BWC Sorcerer:
Originilly theorycrafted & posted by JoV in 1.0.0.7, i continue to polish this build till today, even with nerfs it surpass the original fire-power of 1.0.0.7

BWC Sorcerer “2.0”:
Created by JoV, it is different than the original version of BWC build, still unamed by his creator i will call it “2.0” for now.
Triple “meteor” build with transmuted BWC, crazy Gladiator clearspeed, preview here

Ultos Druid:
2H build that can reliably farm Gladiator are kinda rare, this is one of them.
Some of you may have already saw that post where i gave a preview of it.
Didnt played it since 1.0.1.0 devotion proc change, so it might be a bit less powerful than 1.0.0.9

well, you know what I wanna see

i may have guessed it. :smiley:

Aight i have been pretty busy recently by recording all my work from previous months, at first i didnt plan to do that much but here we go. x)
Those videos are the result of hundreds of hours of theorycrafting & testing/polishing, i hope you will enjoy it.

note: few of thoses builds are not created by myself which is noticed into video description itself.

Was waiting for that Ultos build clear video, I gotta say, I am impressed. Given that I understand the mechanics that can allow Ultos Druid clear Gladiator, I thought it was going to be much slower and much less damage. Turned out damage was decent. Good job! (although that belt, man, I can’t even)

EDIT: Is chaos strike that crucial for mobility in Crucible?

Glad you enjoyed the video. :slight_smile:
About chaos strike i dont think it is mandatory but i love so much that ability to repositioning, it can be decisive on some dire situations.

Guess someone still can’t get over Enigma runeword :stuck_out_tongue: (that includes me btw)

Some ego thread there. Anyway would love to see put & forget build in gladiator. (storm totem, wind devil and maybe mortar trap)

I just noticed this thread and have to say that videos are awesome :slight_smile:
Indeed good work :slight_smile:

Bit off topic but I have to ask, after the nerfs to SS, how your S&B SS BM fares now in crucible and that 2H SS variation of SB? Did you measured they average clear times now?

I would like to see this aswell. Also any other non soldier build would be fun.

No soiled trousers build option? Weak.

To be frank i didnt even play them once since the nerf. :rolleyes:
And i wasnt sure you wanted to share your 2h SS so i didnt spoke about it.

I apologize for that. :rolleyes:

I hope that they are finished with SS nerfs for while, so 2H SS SB is free for sharing if you are wiling to make video that is :slight_smile:

I don’t care what build you play as long as you do it using only yellow and green items.

Actually i tried this for fun and some builds can easily handle Challenger with crap gear.
Talking about Challenger, it unlock already an incredible farm power especially for beginners / first character.

For example green version of DEE Witchblade:
http://www.grimtools.com/calc/a2E6jPVd
(rings & medal can be obtain through vendors runs)

it should be able to clear Gladiator tho it would prolly take 1 hour . . . :rolleyes:

Hmm I recall JoV making a multiple choice poll a long time ago and I went for the “We don’t care option”
:rolleyes:

Oh well…

On a serious note I am also interested in seeing SS builds performance this patch.
If I had to ask something else it’d be Ultos Elementalist/Conjurer’s Gladiator performance. I know it’s better than Druid for Vanilla.

I also did vote for the last option :stuck_out_tongue:

Added BWC Sorcerer video which is the fastest run i have ever recorded so far. :rolleyes:

Seems people are eager to see how perform SS builds in the current patch, i will see what i can do. ;X

SS will be fine in crucible with the buffs. If you are doing cold build that is;)

Impressive performance. Couple of questions:

  • Why this off-hand? Why not use Aldanar’s Vanity for more damage and reduced cooldowns proc or Tome of Names for RR debuff?

  • Why not spend one point in Ulzuin’s Wrath? You are in melee range and given how many skills you got, that is going to be a decent retaliation damage buff as well as some additional cc.

I started to record with AV and then i realised how “meh” it was since the nerf, i did an entire Gladiator without a single good timing proc. :rolleyes:
Overall Tome of the Arcane Wastes is a better choice which provide a good damage upgrade.

About Ulzuin’s Wrath, you can put 1 point in it, tho its near useless imo, few mob type can be KB and damage wise its kinda trash.
