[Duelist] PoE 3.8 Lacerate Gladiator Starter Build (PC, PS4, Xbox)
The main statistics of this Lacerate Gladiator build is Evasion, which we use both as a defense and as an offensive stat, thanks to the use of Dreamfeather Sword.
Quick Jump
Pros & Cons
- - Hard to Check real DPS (even PoB don't calculate Crimson Dance and Bleed properly)
- - It's Still evasion build, you can get occasional one hit on crazy map mode.
- - Maddening Presence visual effect (great buff but i hate that circle).

Gems Setup
Lacerate / Double Strike (6 link)
Main Skill -> Rage -> Multistrike -> Brutality -> Melee Physical Damage/Fortify -> Ruthless
However, at the early stage of the league and the development of the character itself, when we do not have Ascendancy and other important keystone may be useful games such as Chance to Bleed / Maim / Faster Attack (instead of Multistrike/Ruthless which needs a lot of attack speed to run smoothly) will work very well and help us go to maps.
And Fortify, the difference between using Fortify or Melee Physical Damage is not significant. So you can easily use these games alternately, Fortify in the main setup is an interesting option. But that does not change my mind about the Ramparts wheel. I think it is overrated, it will give us 4% more reduction from Fortify and attack speed but you must have 6 passives, better go in Soul of Steal if you think about def (3 point need) and Berserking (3 point need) if you think about Attack speed.
We also do not know how Rage will behave in practice (keeping stacks, stacking him on the boss), but this gem looks amazing on paper. If it comes out differently in practice, it will be replaced for Fortify / Chance to Bleed or Maim
Auras/Buffs (4 link*)
1. Grace 50% (when you set up a dreamfather, you do not need it before
2. Blood and Sand 10% - (necessary to change stance)
3. Herald of Purity 25%
4. Vulnerability Curse Aura – Free (when we have Impresence Amulet)
Blasphemy Support + Vulnerability - Blood and Sand - Herald of Purity as 4 link. Grace will be placed in utility with Increased Duration to extend the time of Vaal Grace.
Movement (4 link*)
Whirling Blades/Leap Slam - Faster Attack - Fortify - Blood Magic
Free slot if you use Fortify in your main skill
CWDT Setup (3 link)
CWDT - Vaal Immortal Call/Vaal Molten Shell/Steelskin - Summon Flame Golem
I use maks lvl of gems for CWDT
Utility (4 link)
Blood Rage - Increased Duration - Phase Run - Vaal Grace
Blood Rage for Attack Speed and extra Leech.
Phase Run, additional dmg, speed and pass through enemy, We easily generate frenzy charge, thanks to that the buff lasts long when we use it at full charges.
Vaal Grace for additional defense
Utility 2 (3 link)
Berserk - Ancestral Protector
Gear
Bleed it's not calculated from hit DPS just from your base Physical DMG (weapon dmg*skill base dmg + flat dmg from gear) So on Rare items we looks for Flat Physical DMG! I will link my actual gear.
So Stats priority it's: Resist Cap/HP/Flat Physical Damage/Evasion
Weapon
Dreamfeather * 2 is our core items, we stack Eva and get 2% Attack Damage every 450 evasion, Attack Speed, flat Evasion, Movement Speed.
We are looking for corruption Resolute Technique to save some points and Fortify on hit.
Chest
The Perfect Form. Best for endgame, when we wear it we want to have cold resistance on every item, on every jewel, on everything. Additionally, he gives us Phase Acrobatic and Arctic Armor! The only problem is that we need a 5r 1g socket so you need to have a supply of jewelers orb it is worth looking for a replacement at an early stage of the league.
Armour
Daresso's Defiance. High Evasion and Armour, Leech, Dodge chance, HP, Onslaught (up time it's really good)
Rare option means as many links as possible and Evasion, good at the beginning of the league. You can look for a cheap Corrupt with links and colors.
Gloves/Helmet/Boots
As much Evasion as you can, of course Life and Cold resist which multiplayer our evasion.
Amulet
Impresence / Rare with Life / Resist /% Evasion / Flat Evasion
It's Best option for us, we get Flat Physical DMG, Life, Maddening Presence (10% slow and reduce dmg from enemy), Free Vulnerability.
Before getting this, we take the rare (Life / Resist /% Evasion / Flat Evasion etc)
Belt
Perseverance. The best belt when we have Perfect Form, a lot of Flat Evasion, Cold Resist,% life and Onslaught which we always have thanks to Fortify.
Belt of the Deceiver. Good option it's have corruption [Grace has XX% increased aura effect] it's really cheap not much build use Grace aura! Works well early league when we dont have Perfect Form.
Rings
We are looking for Cold Resist, Life, Flat Evasion, other resist, an additional advantage is Flat phy damage.
Storm Knuckle Unset Ring
+45 to Intelligence
Adds 3 to 5 Physical Damage to Attacks
+127 to Evasion Rating
+75 to maximum Life
+42% to Fire Resistance
+9% to all Elemental Resistances
Poison caused by Melee Hits
+25 to maximum Mana
+11 to Dexterity
Adds 9 to 14 Physical Damage to Attacks
+77 to maximum Life
+31% to Fire Resistance
+34% to Cold Resistance
Two Really cheap Ring for start pre perfect form.
Flask
One instant Life flask is enough for a crisis situation, we have much leech, no more life flask are needed. The rest find Flat Evasion flask /% Evasion Flask (Witchfire which also increases Bleed DMG) / Damage Flask (work on hit and bleed) and Cold Resist Flask which we use as we have Perfect Form for multiplayer evasion
For a more detailed of gear, please refer to the PoB Link. The gear selected in the PoB is not mandatory if it is not stated. It is recommended that the player check the affix of the gear and make a better choice.
Jewel
You look for
- -% Life
- -% Increased Damage
- -% Increased Damage with Bleeding
- -% Increased Damage Over Time
Abyss option
- - flat life
- - flat Physical Damage
Watcher's Eye for Grace it's Really cheap and can give you %Life and some defence node (more Evasion or Blind).
