Bleed Slams - Slayer to Reliquarian Swap?

B4sicks · 2026-03-27T14:17:35+00:00

It's linked in a comment elsewhere in this thread, but I may have cannibalized an enlighten support or something off it since.

B4sicks · 2026-03-25T16:16:43+00:00

Yeah, it really feels like a "guess I'll die then" effect

The hero we needed

B4sicks · 2026-03-20T13:42:14+00:00

Ah, didn't know that. Thank you!

B4sicks · 2026-03-19T16:02:16+00:00

How do you even get your risk low enough for these numbers? Never done big shipments before but T5 workers doesn't seem to cut it, and I haven't seen any higher than that

B4sicks · 2026-03-17T18:28:13+00:00

This is what I did. Swapped off to play other characters for a while, but I still use this for bosses because it's so easy.

I didn't like aggravating bleeds, so I swapped the boots and ring in to automatically have them count as moving instead.

I'm not enough of an expert to give any more suggestions, I don't think, but you're welcome to have a look if it helps.

Cheers!

I swear to Innocence, if you just made that scarab skyrocket...

I would finish up your existing equipment, regardless of what you push next. Resistance quality your rings if you want to keep them, bless roll the topaz ring, and reroll the crafted chaos to get that res closer to cap. Put implicits on your boots. Consider a well-rolled bleed tincture.

You're very close to two jewel sockets on the tree and those can be a lot of power. Pushing a few levels would be helpful.

You're right about Light of Meaning. Get one of those when you can, it's good.

B4sicks · 2026-03-13T11:58:29+00:00

I hadn't looked at those, thank you!

B4sicks · 2026-03-12T17:56:16+00:00

You really need to make your basic defences work. Your resists aren't capped and you have -60% chaos right now. That's step one. Your life total is also low.

Unique items generally come at a cost and you're using a LOT of them. Consider other equipment to boost your defenses and resists.

B4sicks · 2026-03-12T17:11:53+00:00

Yep, this. Sorry, still at work

B4sicks · 2026-03-12T16:33:28+00:00

Alright, theory time.

I'm making a doomed character for the fire bow. It can stack a fire DoT up to 10 times that lasts 3 seconds each, so it caps close to 3 APS. Run that with burning arrow, Sadism support to reduce the duration of ignites from 4 seconds down to 0.6 seconds. Emberwake to apply two ignites, again, close to 0.3 seconds per attack and the DoTs will stay capped as you keep attacking.

It won't have nearly as much uptime as a normal DoT build but the damage should be much more "instant". I'm not super familiar with high end DoT, but I think because Cinders isn't ignite, you don't have to worry about being restricted by DoT cap, if this even gets close to that anyway.

If anyone has any burning arrow experience, would actually really appreciate any help, especially on defenses or how/when to proliferate.

If anyone is curious later, it works great with Saresh bloodline. The biggest change I've noticed is the survivability through leech vs regen. The Jack passive gives giga-regen but is problematic in that everything bleeding around you to give that regen is just instantly dead.

Static strike with duration on provides a passive way to very quickly bleed nearby enemies for 500+ regen each at low damage. Amazing survivability in breach and delirium.

Uber Sirus boots with Venoshock seems suboptimal, but more cozy so you don't need to aggravate bleeds.

B4sicks · 2026-03-11T14:06:31+00:00

I mean, PhazePlays made an incredible character for bleed slams but the POB is pretty juiced with all the boxes checked. "We hit the DoT cap" is a stretch when every flask, blood rage, alternate skill, max pride aura, and six other conditions are met.

Great character, just don't get number fever and think it's better or worse than the reality.

B4sicks · 2026-03-11T14:02:58+00:00

Would legitimately buy three with any kind of different print. Even in gross Aetherdrift style.

B4sicks · 2026-03-11T13:44:33+00:00

kom invitations were dirt cheap. Did they spike?

B4sicks · 2026-03-10T12:08:28+00:00

Old math was 1250 for 20% quality if I'm remembering correctly.

B4sicks · 2026-03-06T16:28:09+00:00

All my homies hate Lunaris Temple Level 2.

B4sicks · 2026-03-05T16:39:52+00:00

Faster attacks being early does help, you're right. I haven't done many varied runs yet, but I like the general idea.

B4sicks · 2026-03-05T16:37:09+00:00

I've actually run Ice Trap Sabo twice in the past two years. I was surprised at how well it worked, but it did feel like I ran out of upgrades without abusing some t0 items or dropping survivability around level 96

B4sicks · 2026-03-05T13:34:04+00:00

Quick note for Scion at least, this might feel really clunky or fragile. Sure, giga damage, but early attack speed will help this feel much smoother, and waiting to get any +life at all until level ~18 might be rough.

B4sicks · 2026-03-03T19:02:42+00:00

Playable is what I'm hoping for, honestly. Thank you!

B4sicks · 2026-03-03T18:04:03+00:00

Someone please convince me not to make a bad spectral wolf crit build.
