[ POE ] Lacerate Gladiator Build Guide - Path of Exile

==== 3.14 UPDATES ==== Updating POB is still work in progress as we don't have the new gems in POB yet. I've updated the passive tree and without any new gems the total DPS loss is about 13-14%. Not great, but not terrible either and we might end up in the same place as before, with the new gems (like Corrupting Fever and Cruelty support) Build's latest Path of Building (POB) link : pastebin.com/7NX8NbCd Twitch stream : www.twitch.tv/navandis Discord : discord.gg/9M6N6Wf You can now also support me on Nexus: www.nexus.gg/navandis I earn a small commission on any purchase, which I'll promptly spend on coffee and birdseed 😁

First time I've ever made it to red tier maps. The way you have the trade searches built into the PoB notes is absolutely amazing. The layout for which skill gems to use while leveling was also huge for me. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into this. It has allowed me to have so much more fun with the game this league than I ever have before.

Please please make more guides on builds, you're a god at explaining everything and they're so easy to follow. thank you so much!

this basic idea is still so strong at 3.14. best league start i ever had

This is already one of my fav builds in poe... I have a lvl 95 max block lacerate glad that i used for endgame content... he was deathless up to lvl 94 but then i started doing all my sirus and uber elders fights with this char, he now stands at 11 deaths (because i suck at sirus mostly) after 30 - 35 of those bosses done together. I have built it a bit differently, i do not use enduring cry as I saw no need for it whatsoever, I can add an extra passive for cluster jewels "run through" which i use on my main large cluster jewel paired with "wound aggravation" & " martial prowess". Another slight change in my build is using awakened deadly ailments instead of ruthless support. All these small changes I mentioned are not meant to take anything away from the build guide creator (as he's a fellow compatriot of mine and I wish him all the best) but aims to show how powerful and versatile Lacerate can be as a skill. The only downside that this build has (in my own point of view) is how slow it feels to level up with lacerate in low lvls and with next to no attack speed... I tend to use either cleave or split arrow/puncture up to lvl 50 (multistrike is obtained in act 4 after you kill both Daresso & Kaom but i still keep it in offhand for a while while it lvl up a bit and i can get more attack speed). Great job on putting this build on the spotlight and make it a bit more known in public's eye.

That's a really solid guide. You put so much effort into it and everything is perfectly explained (including POB). Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for your hard work in putting together this fantastic guide. I'm using it as my league starter, and it's been a lot of fun!

"You're almost immortal, unless you really mess something up" Don't worry buddy I'll find a way

Eyyy love the new format. Very informative. Looking at this I'm having a hard time deciding between arc miner and this build for the next league :D

Absolutely brilliant guide, far better than any other guide I've seen. Format is fantastic.

Thanks for building such a great guide. The format is great. The notes in the pob are very helpful. Excellent. Well done.

Looks like I've found my new league starter, thanks man!

5:48 love this, wish every build guide did this with their tree

One of the best build guides i've ever seen. The way you did the passive tree section was prenomenal with the numbers. definitely trying this out

I know you probably won't read this, but these are hands down the most comprehensive guides I've encounter, and deeply appreciate your work! As a console player with no pob, having an itemized breakdown of passives is invaluable as well. Keep up the great work!!!

I like the new and clearer leveling and passive sequencing.

Navandis, old LightAndMagic here, thanking you for yet another great build guide. I still can not play a lot of PoE but will try it one hour a day with this build. Thanks!

Thanks for the Guide. Usually I prefer written guides over youtube guides But, This guide was excellent and more thorough then 90% of the written guides. ((With the added benefit of you explaining why you picked each SKILL,, This was the most important part for me because being that i'm new to POE.)) Very, Very nice job Navadis Gaming.

The new patch notes is up, please keep us up to date on what will change with your build for 3.14! Thx for the content

I've tried many builds from many PoE Youtubers around. Most of them were poorly documented regarding the Path of Building part or were too overpromising (like, "budget" builds that were costing 300 exalts to build). Navandis offers the BEST build guides. Period.! Just because they are THOROUGHLY documented, are not overpromising and above all, lead to characters that WORK. Thank you Navandis. Your 3.13 Skelemancer was awesome. After almost 30 attempts with previous characters in this game, this was my first character to reach level 90 and still going strong still without reaching my 4th lab or collecting the required gear. Now I am trying the "lacer/dator" and after a few hours playing and reaching level 44 is amazingly fun. One question though...: At 44 I am somewhat running short of mana (~ 25% of mana pool with blood and sand, pride and war banner on, flesh and stone off). Am I doing something wrong or things will improve later with better gear. Many thanks and keep up the excellent work!
