Guide notes |
December 21, 2019 -Updated for Patch 3.9 |
Blade Flurry Gladiator is one of the most versatile builds in the game. It’s very tanky due to high block chance while maintaining extremely high damage. It’s very efficient at farming maps, eternal Labyrinth and killing bosses. Blade Flurry scales well, because of damage being boosted for each stage reached while channeling, which combined with high physical damage allows you to clear all the endgame content, including both Shaper and Uber Atziri. Investing in unique items like the Belly of the Beast and The Surrender will help you reach this build’s maximum defensive potential.

1. Gameplay
Blade Flurry is one of the most satisfying builds in the game. High block chance allows you to tank most hits while you shield charge between packs of monsters obliterating them with Blade Flurry. The most important part of the gameplay is to channel Blade Flurry until it reaches six stacks and then release it for an explosion.

3. Leveling tips
Leveling with Blade Flurry is very easy, because of damage continually being boosted for each stage you reach while channeling. Thanks to this killing packs and bosses go very fast, and the build doesn’t require significant investments during the leveling phase. We recommend using Cleave early on, then replace it with Sunder as soon as you kill Merveil in act 1. After reaching level 28, you can switch to Blade Flurry. Preferably use a one-handed weapon with the highest physical damage you can find and shield in the off-hand slot.
Suggested leveling Gem setups:
Cleave/Sunder setup | |
Cleave - will be the first skill you should be using, and replace it with Sunder as soon as you kill Merveil in Act 1 | |
Sunder - grants better range and good AoE | |
Added Fire Damage Support - great buff to your DPS | |
Maim Support - this Gem will increase your damage and maim enemies on hit, which slows their movement speed and increases the damage they take |
Enemy Takes 9 Increased Phys Dmg In Path Of Building Plan
Blade Flurry setup | |
Blade Flurry - you should start using Blade Flurry as soon as you hit level 28. Try to use(and level up) as many Support Gems you plan to use later on with this setup. This always makes the transition to your final build much easier | |
Melee Physical Damage Support - it's the most important Support Gem for this build. Buy it in act 2 as soon as you hit level 18 and use instead of Maim support | |
Added Fire Damage Support - great buff to your DPS | |
Concentrated Area of Effect Support - increases all damage by a lot in exchange for reduced Blade Flurry AoE. Can be swapped for Increased Area of Effect Support for clearing wider areas, but it’s mandatory for killing bosses |
Utility Gems | |
Ancestral Warchief - this totem increases your melee damage and deals a lot of damage on its own. It benefits from the Physical/Melee Support Gems (e.g., Faster Attacks, Maim Support) | |
Punishment - definitely the best curse for this build, which grants you more melee damage and attack speed when you hit cursed enemies. You can start using it at level 24 | |
Herald of Ash - combined with Sunder’s seismic wave it will destroy packs of monsters in no time | |
Shield Charge - this movement skill, linked with Faster Attacks Support allows you to move through locations much faster |
Bandits:
It's recommended to kill all the Bandits for two additional Passives Points. If you are a high level you may also switch to Alira for extra Crit. Multiplier if you need some additional damage
Leveling Skill Trees:
30 Points Skill Tree
Priorities: 1) Art of the Gladiator 2) Defiance 3) Retaliation 4) Swift Skewering
62 Points Skill Tree
Priorities: 1) Blade of Cunning 2) Bloodless 3) Blade Master 4) Forceful Skewering 5) Constitution
