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

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.

Buy Tabula Rasa with cheap price on PoeCurrencyBuy!

For bows i recommend Silverbranch and then Silverbough as well as Replica Quill Rain
Later i used Infractem simply because it was cheapest 6L bow. If you can somehow get a 6L Lioneye's Glare that would be great.

For chests, Ambu's Charge is great cheap option, as well as Belly of Beast of cause.

For quiver i recommend Drillneck as it gives 50% increased damage with hits and ailments and gives pierce and lof of juice. After you get block ascendancy nodes you can switch to full block Rearguard.
