POE 3.25 Gladiator Rework Deep Dive - Settlers of Kalguur Path Of Exile

#pathofexile #poe #kalguur

The Gladiator ascendancy is getting a huge overhaul in 3.25. It's better than in 3.24 but... probably not quite good enough to be popular.

Also - poor Corrupting Fever. It's dead.

0:00 Intro, First Thoughts
1:47 How to Get POB Updated (if you've missed this elsewhere)
2:29 Core Identity of the Gladiator - Block and Bleed
2:43 The Cohesion Issue - Gladiator needs a universally good 2 pointer.
4:12 Measured Retalliation - Why I'm Not Sold On Retalliation Skills & Why I Might Be Wrong
9:46 Weapon Master - Doesn't Do Enough. Don't Take It.
14:43 War Of Attrition - Really Good Day 1. Really Bad Late. Take It, Respec It When You Outgrow It.
16:40 Block Nodes - More Than Skill - One Of The Best Defensive Nodes In The Game Despite Issues
17:25 More Than Skill's Best Friend: Versatile Combatant
20:37 Block Nodes - Determined Survivor - Good, But Not Worth 2 Points (Except Because It Allows More Than Skill)
22:05 No Support For Staff Block
22:27 Gratuitous Violence - Bleed Explosions Are Better Than Ever. 2 Points Now, Bigger Explosions, No Longer Has Boss Damage.
24:19 Jagged Technique - This Is Very Good
24:52 Jagged Technique Interaction With Crimson Dance (doesn't work)
25:08 The Good Alternative To Jagged Technique - Crit Bleeds (Aggravate On Crit Cluster)
25:47 Bloodletting - Not Enough Chance To Be A JT Alternative
26:22 JT Alternatives - Exert Mastery. Not enough with slow exerted attacks
26:43 The Issues With The '4+ Seconds Old' bleed mastery
27:20 The Stun Mastery. Fringe. Might work for you.
27:58 Conclusion - Jagged Technique being unconditional is GREAT.
28:30 Final Thoughts - Individually Powerful Nodes That Don't Quite Add Up To A Cohesive, Powerful Whole.
