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