[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Duelist Champion Ground Slam League Starter Build

  • + Leaguestart and scaling: Just pick up ground slam and go, big impales and fort+armour from our ascend makes levelling a breeze and jumping into maps easy as well.
  • + Stunning Durability: Ground Slam puts out some big stuns meaning enemies don't get to attack you, and what does get through has to penetrate several layers of defences.
  • + Low Stress: Few required items and light on skills to use, this is a very laid back build to play.
  • - Stat budget: The build uses a lot of uniques with low/zero resist, plus we cannot equip gloves or a shield. It's not terribly hard to pack enough on belt/rings but gets expensive if you want damage mods as well.
  • - Chaos/Degens: I personally just run near -60 and deal with it, but there is room for some in the build if you can afford it.

 

 

Intro: Easy to build melee character that's not afraid to tank some hits and does big damage. Running into packs and slamming them flat feels amazing, plus we can stun nearly anything with Vaal Ground Slam including awakener 8. Easy leaguestart and progression with big power coming from our ascend points. With balanced gear you should hit around ~5500hp and ~10mil DPS.

Path of Building: Leaguestart | Midrange | Endgame

  • If in need of Intelligence or Dexterity, pick +30 to Intelligence or Dexterity nodes.
  • These passive trees are made for playing without a cluster jewel and Thread of Hope, mostly for levelling. When adding a Cluster Jewel or Thread of Hope, please refer to passive trees in Path of Building links of Required Gear or Meta Gear up above

[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Gladiator Bleed Split Bow Cheap Duelist Build

  • + cheap to start
  • + fast
  • + pretty damn tanky (leech, 40000 armour with Molten Shell, 80+ chaos resistance)
  • + can clear all content
  • + insane for Blight and good for Delve
  • + you shit on chaos damage
  • + can run without awakened gems
  • - Needs 185 dexterity which is a big gear issue later one.
  • - also needs a lot of intelligence if you plan to min-max with Enlighten lvl.4
  • - squishy in the beginning, till you get more ascendancy nodes, block and armour
  • - greatly relies on a good bow.
  • - Snipe is hard to use on fast/teleporting/moving bosses. Easy to miss. 

Bleed Bow is probably one of the most popular Gladiator builds out there. Great clearspeed with built-in "pop" effect because of Gladiator's explosive ascendancy. Good tankiness as you can stack armour, some block, and a lot of chaos resistance. If you need a good 3.14 starter build with fast speed, this PoE 3.14 Gladiator Bleed Split Arrow Starter Duelist may be enough for you.

Duelist Slayer

[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Gladiator Impale Cyclone Easy Duelist Build

 

[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Gladiator Impale Cyclone Easy Duelist Build

  • + This build can achieve stupid levels of damage.
  • + League start and SSF viable.
  • + No required items.
  • + Good clearspeed.
  • + Tackles end game easily on a low budget.
  • + Has lots of room for min/max.
  • - It's perfectly viable in SSF but struggles more than Champion/Gladiator with low access to gear.
  • - While our Cyclone area is very big, we are still playing Melee wich is dangerous at time.
  • - Meta build means some end game items can be expensive.
  • - Leap Slam is bugged in the current patch causing you to get stuck on objects easily.
  • - It's not a tank build so you have to dodge things yourself.

Gems Setup

Cyclone

The all purpose link for Cyclone will be Impale-> Brutality-> Fortify -> Infused Channeling -> Close Combat

Rage, Melee Phys, Pulverise

Close Combat is the flex slot and you can use either Rage, Melee Phys or Pulverise instead. Rage is the best for damage but has a nasty ramp up, Melee Phys is the most consistent, Pulverise is the worst for damage but gives more AoE and finally Close Combat almost rivals the DPS of Rage but with no ramp up, it does however only work that well if you are right on top of the enemy.

Awakened Brutality, Awakened Melee Phys

When you get the awakened gems, obviously swap Brutality for it's awakened version and swap Close Combat for awakened Melee Phys since it now also grants us Intimidate.

Warchief

Vaal Ancestral Warchief, Maim, Impale, Brutality

We only use the Vaal Warchief here. The totem does very high DPS on its own but it also buffs our damage by 32% wich is a huge buff to use on bosses.

Molten Shell

Vaal Molten Shell -> CWDT -> Summon Flame Golem

Vaal Molten Shell synergizes very well with our build because we naturally use a lot of armour gear, making the absorb much stronger. I like the CWDT because I forget to press the normal Molten Shell while mapping and Flame Golem is just something extra.

Leap Slam

Leap Slam -> Endurance Charge on Melee Stun -> Blood Magic -> Faster Attack

Either Leap Slam, Whirling Blades or even Dash. Blood magic is needed given we reserve almost all of our mana and we get 1 endurance charge per use when we hit an enemy with this.

Auras

Pride, Blood and Sand, Flesh and Stone, Dread Banner, Precision, Enlighten

These are the best auras you can get for a balanced setup.

You can swap back and forth between blood and sand stance as you want, just keep in mind that blood=DPS and sand=defense. Until you are comfortable with the build, just play in sand stance.

An Enlighten 3 is not necessary however it allows you to level up Precision past level 1 for additional accuracy and crit.

If you use Enlighten, link it with Pride, Flesh and Stone and either Dread Banner or Blood and Sand.

Utility

Blood Rage, Portal, Enduring Cry 

Blood Rage is very strong, both for mapping and bosses since it gives frenzy charges on kill, but more importantly attack speed. If you want you can rely on this to get your life leech cap and save a few points on the tree.

Portal is just because I'm lazy, if you have portal scrolls you can use blood magic here aswell so none of your skills cost mana.

Enduring Cry is completely optional, it's just a means for generating endurance charges for defense. I dont use this but its there as an option if you want more defense.
