Imagine Bleeding Edge without Despotic Perseverance

[@Hawntbawt]

This build is very much along the lines of what I was thinking of running when I do get around to this game. Awesome job!

[@BobMotster]

As always thanks for the incredible guides!

[@hairtrigger8317]

Looks interesting. I like seeing all the builds people are coming up with.

[@zombi5427]

This build is awesome! went from vet 43 struggling to +60 without trying! insane damage!

[@DearFreja]

Thanks for this. i had so much trouble making an effective build like this.

[@champton3217]

Thanks for sharing this, it's really helping me learn how the skill tree works. Plus the build itself is like the Baskin Robbins of death builds. It's unleashing 31 flavors of whoopass. :D

[@swardinc]

thanks for doing this the class tree was driving me nuts

[@levarhiggins6082]

Pretty cool build 👍🏽. I’m currently working on a NecroKnight build

[@Wormweed]

You don't need a special skill to inflict stasis if your aether dmg is the highest dmg type. That also adds more ailment stacks.

[@jeramyneeley3351]

Hey Fextralife, try a build that revolves around shadow damage with blades of infinity and slayers fury. I've been using one and it's just constant damage all the time with the ability to jump between targets using slayers fury. You can spec both options into shadow damage and have bulwark on your bar when you want to stay put in a spot and heal while bursting a larger target down.

[@BobMotster]

Side question: I want to add unique item pages with pictures and text like those that already exist in the Wiki. How can I do that? Similar question for builds too - where do we post them so that you can review and make the pages public if you deem them worthy and meaningful?

[@Fextralife]

The wiki is editable by anyone, you can create a page if you have an account (free and easy to make). You can create your own build page and link to it from the /Builds page as well! Editing Guide here: darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Editing+Guide and if you need help come by discord and I can reply directly: discord.gg/fextralife

[@Headshotz931]

Would the unique armor Agony work with this build due to the stasis aliment focus or would the -ve effect make it worse effecting aether damage??

[@Drc21]

dope build..few quick questions 1. On a scale of tankiness how would you rate this? 2. Is there any flex skills? maybe some other spell oriented one other then vortex?

[@nicator8380]

i use annihilation along with these build, its not bad

[@molagballin_]

Just respecced from a hybrid build (Bladestorm/Infinity Blades) to this to try it out, but it feels really clunky at lvl 39. Does it get any better at higher lvls? I can currently only cast 2x Bleeding Edge before I am out of rage, at which point I cast Anomaly x2 and I can then cast another Bleeding Edge, then Bulwark and I can cast a 4th Bleeding Edge, and then I basically can't attack anything other than with basic attack for several seconds. I don't have the high lvl runes yet for Tracker's Reach, so it only hooks enemies in a small area, and I don't even use Juggernaut because it costs Rage and I'm already so rage starved. I'll keep playing with this build a bit more to see how it feels vs bosses, but my old build never really had any problems with bosses, either, as I was just facetanking them with Bladestorm/Infinity Blades while keeping up Bulwark, which basically let me ignore all mechanics on even act bosses, while still doing pretty strong DPS. Tips would be appreciated

[@zacharyrichartz3294]

enjoying this build so far! one question tho.... are the reduced resource cost modifiers good to grab or do they hurt us? im really kind of lost on which modifiers to ultimately grab at end game for each skill

[@zacharyrichartz3294]

1 other question. what do you think about sovereign shout instead of juggernaut? for generating fury

[@dimitrijetokovic5086]

Quick question, very new to wolcen, i ran a catalyst in my off hand and a 1 handed sword on my main hand but left click attaxks dont build up my willpower? Aswell as not pulling pull down my rage

[@dragonwaz]

There's a node called "Furious Appetite" that swaps how rage and willpower works for basic attacks to build willpower.

[@ianfitchett2768]

The backline raider passive (+50% to attack and cast speed) doesn't work at the moment. Like the build though, thanks for sharing

[@jarowan]

Attack speed generally seems fundamentally broken somehow. Agility seems to have virtually no impact on attack speed. Both backline raider and the alastor conditional attack speed buff seem to have no effect, or at least not a noticeable one. There is presently virtually no reason to ever invest in attack/cast speed, particularly since it doesn't affect tick rate of either ailments or regen/leech, and without animation cancelling attack speed doesn't necessarily directly affect the speed at which skills can be put out.

[@alexrojas9725]

Reply Please would glady help... any plans for controller support like the devs said will drop?

[@Fextralife]

It's coming :)

[@Finnlaith]

so unless im missing something, my tree looks nothing like that at all in terms of how everything is connected

[@Solhn]

You can turn the rings of the passive skill web. Look at the left side of your UI you can select the ring and move it with the arrows below. Goodluck ^^

[@Finnlaith]

Nader Solh thank you!

[@mvs7930]

The bonus and gems that increase spell damage affects warrior skills?

[@kuppermax1]

No if it says "Spell Damage" it only affects "Spells" u can check if the active is a "Spell" in the Active Skills tab at the top of the description its written if its a "Spell" or "Atack"

[@TheGous]

Lol, you made the build I thought yesterday about Nice

[@AtakanG]

5:00 I'm 96.3% sure that 100% Crit Damage is also additive. My Crit damage went from around 200% to 300% upon picking that passive.

[@Fextralife]

What I meant is that it multiplies against your damage. It's the only Damage I'm aware of that multiplies after other modifiers.

[@buddydudeguy618]

Crit damage its self is multiplicative. He didnt mean the 100% roll.

[@Finnlaith]

First channel i thought about that might possibly have a build for this already and boom lol

[@khairulaizat2111]

wolcen came up, i just go to this channel to see if they already have build

[@dragonwaz]

You don't really NEED a catalyst for one off class skill and Juggernaut is more than enough tank to cover you without Bulwark of Dawn.

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

Just got a unique shield that allows the bearer to use sacred damage, so you can build that paladin type build. It's an item bought from Zeitgeist, so its gonna be really random but damn that item is useful, dont need a catalyst at all.

[@Wormweed]

RaZeyLWindBladE you can craft mods like that on items by socketing a genesis gem and using the crafting orbs. So you could get a 2h that lets you cast some spells.

[@blix2001]

any post 12-3 patch build update?

[@mephisto8644]

I felt like bleeding edge with statis will be the strongest build im playing almost same build but pure 2handed

[@nawawii3750]

yeah, 2 handed damage for melee skills is pretty strong , u only miss the spells, but you still have strong alternatives

[@c0refreAk.]

Bleeding Edge again ResidentSleeper i hope they buff other skills so that they are viable too

[@theodorus_55]

Melee wise bleeding edge is the best atm but ailment builds are quite strong too. Also havoc orb is one of the highest single target damage skills. I'd say they need to balance attack skills vs spell skills because attack skills overperform right now(looking at you frenzied blows).

[@roccetgaming3575]

You can get by the Aether dmg bug by having it on your weapon.

[@zangorajura]

Did you really experiencing stuttering during aoeing with bleeding edge or was it just the video rendering or the game is just really infested with bugs?

[@joshua4185]

He definitely does not have G-sync.

[@aqua123456q]

Is this still viable with the patch?

[@Niko_3D]

Every build runs around with bleeding edge...

[@Eweyhen]

It's too good not to have

[@Niko_3D]

@@Eweyhen It's also kinda stupid that they made it that broken compared to rest of the skills.

[@Eweyhen]

@@Niko_3D Melee in general seems to have the highest skill floor right now. I think as people learn the game, other things will become viable, but blades is just too good off the bat.

[@takeshikovacs667]

Update build for 2024?

[@vinnys.esterque9242]

Does anybody know how to unlock the fifth skill slot ?

[@josephakers1431]

[@vianreza9714]

update for this patch pls? xd

[@Jin_Jon]

That passive skill tree, with rotating parts, is still nothing compared to PoE. This skill tree has sections as opposed to just single stats

[@orionar2461]

None of the spells have lifesteal nodes, which they should

[@matteopresello4964]

Nodes or runes? Cause they have both life leech somewhere, look again

[@orionar2461]

@@matteopresello4964 i know nodes do, but I dont think any spell has a life leach rune. I mistyped

[@matteopresello4964]

Bleeding edge has one itself

[@orionar2461]

@@matteopresello4964 bleeding edge isn't a spell, it's an attack. If you didn't know, skills are split into spells and attacks.

[@matteopresello4964]

I thought you mistyped twice, sorry

[@erthan6161]

Being forced to use a catalyst is such a stupid design decision. Daggers or shield should have counted for casters allowing more viable sword and board builds. Right now shields are basically completely useless with a unique shield being pretty much the only one you can use and only because it lets you cast a defensive spell.

[@李宗祐-z7k]

This game is D3+POE

[@punnk3d]

kkkkk i'm playing with same skills build, but my three like diferent

[@consegnerimini2730]

Same here, they probably changed the Gate of Fates order. Child of Fury is now in neverland.

[@WirWiryawan]

build that use bleeding edge already dead

I follow your twitch stream. You are too monotonous. More energy.

[@taylormalone8965]

wow another build using busted bleeding edge, very original.

[@irisdogma8174]

Ugh, was looking forward to looking into this but looks like one of those awful chinese MMOs - huge numbers, too much stuff jammed on the screen in combat etc.

[@tacticalnuke0029]

Umm, this is how every ARPG looks and works. If you didn't like Titan Quest, Diablo, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn etc. then this game and its genre are not for you.

[@irisdogma8174]

@@tacticalnuke0029 Nah, it's not. Titan quests combat screen is fairly tame, grim dawn ain't that bad, and neither is diablos. And none of them use those tens of thousands of damage totals. Thats the sort of thing you get in jrpgs, and mobile games from tencent. This is more like a chinese MMO, than a western arpg. All noise and flash. This doesn't look like the same kind of game design. Half the time you can barely see your character

[@bakaky0]

@@irisdogma8174 Damage in Diablo 3 is ridiculous high though. Maybe you were talking about D2

[@irisdogma8174]

@@bakaky0 I never played D3 because of that online only BS. So they used the jrpg damage model? Well makes me feel good about not playing it. Just taking existing systems and multiplying everything by 100 or 1000 is the kind of move someone who assumes their audience is stupid does. Bet you could still tell where your character was tho.

[@Norbingel]

iirc, the damage numbers are off by default. Or maybe just the crits are on by default. Although late game you might be critting most of the time so it might end up looking almost like that anyway
