DIVINE RETRIBUTION Leaguestart | New Gladiator [POE 3.25]

[@林新益-o7f]

Also planning to Divine Retribution leaguestart. I think a secondary retaliation skill to refresh Divine Retribution might be more reasonable than another spell setup. It makes full use of Prepared Response cluster since you need small cooldown nodes anyway. Glacial shield wipe should be best for this job. Versatile combatant should be good. Cuz I think this build will lack damage rather than tankiness. Reaching max spell block spends too much passives

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Yea that is possible. There sure is a whole lot of options to choose from, which is very exciting. You might want to check out my newest video, where I go over some more variations. Including a hybrid spell/attack one.

[@CanadianGameHunters]

im happy that i found this, i want to use the new shield svalinn, mjoner and the retaliation skill divine retribution. it feels like it was made together for this.

[@tft_heart]

I am thinking of ignite build with this ability. Chieftain, Stormfire, optionally renew ignite with curses. It is hard for me to judge ignite damage without pob, since i am bad with numbers. Need to compare it with Detonate Dead and things like Flameblast and Divine Ire.

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Many have had that idea. The problem is the skill being designed around 4 overlaps. So it seems. Which ignite does not profit from. Other spells have better number for ignite. Though does not mean that it can not work at all

[@scotthuffman3462]

I wanna do something with this but as a Templar, seeing as how its a "spell" so you should be able to get dmg from battlemage/spellblade

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

While it seems to be possible. You would have to alternate skills. There might be cool combinations with a double 6l staff variant with crushing fist or one of the others. The problem is you won't get cast chains or get the skill below 1 second cool down easily. So it might feel very clunky

[@transparent5572]

i cooked up something similar but as a guardian using absolution of insp as my clear to fill in the downtime of divine retribution and since they will use the same supports in a 6L setup i got staff nodes for crit and aoe it seems solid im just not sure how bossing will go and how comfy it will be to use the skill every maybe 3 seconds also how do you know it will overlap dmg?

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Sounds like an interesting idea. Will work on more trees tomorrow. Feel free to join the stream for some theory crafting It looks like it overlaps and similar skill types overlap too

[@matthewbrown6397]

When I first saw this, I though a ball lightning of orbiting thing with this would be interesting. I'm far too unintelligent to cook something up though :( I hope to see this work out for you!

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Interesting idea. Instantly gives me ideas with the new trigger on block shield. Though that will have to wait a bit :D More POBs coming tomorrow ^^

[@matthewbrown6397]

@@LuqaslncredibIe I look forward to it! GL!

[@xenophon598]

it looks like it has glacial cascade.

[@SF_Savitar]

i rly like the idea of a gladiator [ rip off paladin ] this caught my eye right away but pfff scaling spell on a glad will be rough wtf xD

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Yea :D Tomorrow I will post more pob's with different scaling options. So stay tuned

[@alvadagansta]

You’re completely ignoring the cooldown of 5 seconds? 50% of the time, you’ll suffer that full cooldown, which is just massive. Even with the annoint, it will still feel just as annoying. 5 seconds is a very long time

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

There is a lot of possible cool down recovery available for retaliation skills. Should be easy to get it down to about 2-3sec which is a lot more manageable

[@alvadagansta]

@@LuqaslncredibIe no way you can get it below 3 seconds. I’m happy to be proven wrong, of course. Feel free to make an update video. Edit: gem info just dropped. You can get 88% more cooldown recovery rate from support gem. I admit I am wrong.

[@DiegoOrtiz-nf9fk]

Why not just use Energy Blade inquisitor, grab some block nodes o new shield and unleash a very powerful lightning spell.

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

Because the duelist node is mandatory for chaining the spell. The 50% chance to not use up a cooldown is what makes the skill work as a main spell possibly

[@gabe-i4w]

@@LuqaslncredibIe Have you considered the Prepared Response notable? It provides "25% chance when you use a Retaliation Skill for a different Retaliation Skill to become Usable" and "Retaliation Skills become Usable for 30% longer", making it so that you can possibly spam Divine Retribution and when it runs out of uses, spam one of the other two until you Divine Retribution becomes available again. Granted both require melee weapons, but that would actually make you able to have it as the main skill for the build, and would require blocking only once every now and then. Also vs bosses Penance Mark from the new Ritual rings can be a great help to make sure you get hit more often against certain bosses (and that your lucky block has 100% uptime).

[@Tomastomas-ng1nc]

@@gabe-i4w 25% is way too low, probably we'd need to stack gladiator 50% WITH the 25% notable because the notable alone will be too unreliable

[@LuqaslncredibIe]

@@gabe-i4w While that is an idea I have thought about and for sure will test. I mostly hoped for another spell retaliation skill to be announced. We do know there are at least 5 by now. 2 of which have not been shown yet. Though booth seem to be attacks.

[@gabe-i4w]

@@LuqaslncredibIe Oh actually they are in the patch notes, I had completely forgotten. One of them is a shield based skill so I'd assume it doesn't require any specific weapon type, just a shield: - Added a new Dexterity/Strength Skill Gem, Glacial Shield Swipe: Retaliate against a blocked hit with a sweep of your Shield, unleashing a wave of ice in a cone in front of you. There were other two listed as well: - Added a new Strength Skill Gem, Crushing Fist: Retaliate against a blocked hit by slamming a huge armoured fist into the ground in front of you. - Added a new Strength Skill Gem, Vengeful Cry: Retaliate against a savage hit with a warcry, taunting all nearby enemies to attack the user. The user and nearby allies gain a buff which grants rage and prevents rage from being lost.
