Long-time one-shot bleed build enjoyer here, who has never really gotten the build to click in the post-shirking fort metas. But I gave it another shot the other day and I dropped evade for flurry, and wow - it feels real good. Now that flurry has grit and can apply a bleed stack, it's so much easier to double and triple stack bleeds. It helps you counteract desert sunrise to a degree as well. And with leeching flurry on the rapier you can get real aggressive and trade blows and still win. I've been pairing it with IG, but you've inspired me to give it a try with VG, looks like a lot of fun.
flurry can be REALLY effective, its still just super easy to avoid for decent players who know whats going on, and you can't guarantee that the last hit for the bleed. Evade gives you a good empower and is really useful for mobility, nearly an extra dodge. But nonetheless I do love Flurry since its been buffed!
I'm tempted to try this but not willing to invest in more gear until S3. The struggle is real! xD I can't wait to see the potential builds that I can craft in S3, this or any of the other mage weapons with a bleed rapier are builds I want to try more of. I should still have some gear that I haven't scrapped yet to experiment with.
Yep it’s hard to experiment right now knowing it will all be obsolete soon so I get that! I’m also looking forward to the new options for creative builds 👀
Would this build get updated in Season 3? I really enjoy this playstyle but I’m lacking knowledge on how to build it now cus of the artifacts and stuff
Yo, use tondo on armor is actually reaally good idea, I'll give to it a try, Voidbalde with high crit chance feels much better. And enchanted applies to voidblade so personally I use it in all voidblade builds. (Dark Bringer it's free, KE, chain, enchanted) Great build and video and always, thx for sharing 😁 BTW the spreadsheet link isn't working. Like yes, but not to the right place. Oh and thx for the mention ❤
Is this build still viable? Nothing comes closer to a traditional assassin in my opinion and Ive been playing something very similar to this. And do you take any artifacts?
Hey! I’d say it’s useable but definitely more difficult to pull off. I haven’t used it in ages but once I get my fresh start character up I’ll do more experimenting. Artifact would be Finisher and probably featherweight for durability or tumbler shoes
The Flawed gems have this hidden mechanic called “intelligence double dipping” where even though they only convert 20% of the damage into a different elemental type, it has a scaling of 200% intelligence so that you’re getting a lot more than what you put in!
whenever I talk about the Rapier Bleed build I just throw in the word ‘One-Shot’ without thinking honestly, my bad😅 it does have the potential to one tap if you stack enough bleeds which is where the original branding came from

It sounds like void blade could fit in well with this playstyle although the cooldown can be rough compared to flurry

Lion my man you gonna have so much fun with the expansion, seems like so many build potentials
I can't tell you how hyped I am!!
Let's hope the oceanic server pops off for a while or at least sutekh fills up alongside delos?
I kept hearing tether is bad. But when I heard it can be apply on bar swap then sounds good.
I never get 6 stacks in 3s for the void gauntlet.

@@LionAD I swapped Resil for Phy/Mag Aversion, and I was wondering if Blooddrinker would nerf the damage too much or if it would be worth the sustain.
LOL 0:25 now kith (in my Mike Tyson voice) 🤣
LMAOO
@@LionAD 😂 dude loving the vids man
Wait what? Runeglass also boost the bleed damage? I always wanna play a full bleed spear build with hardcore bleed dot.
Yep, the punishing runeglass does!
why do you only use the empowered 1 gem instead of max gem for your void gauntlet wouldn't a max gem to more damage?

I would never recommend using this build (or any other melee range build) with light armor for arena.
It’s definitely not easy but I had a fun time using it, if people prefer Medium they can always make adjustments
where is the oneshot though?
I like this channel and his builds, but yeah the term one-shot is over used by a lot of gamer/RUclipsrs.

looks fun killing undergeared clueless noobs!
people just like u :DD
@@LionAD you are not wrong 😂, but I will come back this expansion and show this old player base who the real boss of the ancient Victorian era is
xDDDDDDDDD NOW KISS
LOL
