Path Of Exile 3.25: What To Do With Lacerate Gladiator In Settlers Of Kalguur? - Tips & Preparation
In many guides, it has been said that Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the strongest and most reliable league starters in Path of Exile 3.25. Like Boneshatter Juggernaut, this melee build was already strong enough before the league rework.
Lacerate retains the essence of its previous powerful skills, but also increases all of its damage numbers. So, in POE 3.25, it is more powerful than ever before. So how do you make this powerful build when you first try this new league? And how do you upgrade it? This guide will give you the answers.
As you explore Path of Exile 3.25, if you have any questions or comments, you are welcome to join the Discord community and discuss game strategies with other players. In addition, iGMeet Discord will occasionally bring you more benefits in this community, so remember to pay attention!
Skill Rotation And Tips
Compared to many builds that can cause slam, Lacerate Gladiator is very simple and has a low APM value. You don’t have to use multiple buttons in combat, but you still use defense and movement utilities.
The fundamental skill you can use in combat is Lacerate, a medium-range melee attack damage skill that allows you to cause bleeds. Besides this, you can use Pride and Vulnerability to weaken the monster’s ability. You can also choose Shield Charge, Molten Shell, Flame Dash, Blood Rage and Enduring Cry for defense and movement.
The thing you need to pay attention to here is that you need to always pay attention to the Vulnerability debuff on the enemy. This magic spell may make the cursed enemy take more physical damage and have a bleeding effect when attacked.
But you don’t have to worry about Pride, but you can link it with Eternal Blessing. This way, you can offset your retention cost and increase your effectiveness. As long as you can maintain this debuff and keep it practical when necessary, you can use Lacerate without worrying about it.
Pros And Cons
Although Lacerate Gladiator build is one of the simplest map builds in Path of Exile 3.25, it also has a little disadvantage.
The biggest advantage of this build compared to other DoT (Damage over Time) builds is that there is no damage to ramp-up time. This means that you can deal maximum damage to an enemy once you apply a layer of bleeding to them. Compared to DoT builds that require you to wait for several seconds to reach maximum DPS, Lacerate Gladiator build will make you safer and easier to use.
But the biggest disadvantage of this build is also accompanied by this advantage - it is too simple. This build does not have a lot of skill options, and in some cases, it can make you feel a little boring and not have enough tools, especially if you plan to use it in the endgame. If you are the kind of player who likes to use endgame gear, you may find this build to be overwhelming because Lacerate Gladiator build only requires three Uniques items. But it also saves you a lot of POE Currency, allowing you to focus more on building upgrades and weapon enhancements.
Skills To Use In Early And Mid-game
If you want to get from the early game to the mid-game as quickly as possible in this build, you can use Sunder skill. Sunder will help you advance quickly until you can start running maps on your own. In addition, you will need to use Leap Slam, War Banner, and Blood And Sand Stance to get the utility and extra damage of this build.
When you can start running maps on your own, you can switch out Sunder for Lacerate of Haemorrhage. This variant of Lacerate gives you higher bleeding damage, and you can use Earthquake, Shield Charge, Bladestorm, and Vulnerability to create a better combat situation. You are ready for the endgame skill setup.
Gem Setup
In this build, you can use gems to maximize the bleeding damage you deal in combat. Without this setup, your character will be very powerful, but with gems, you will be invincible. Here are the best gems and some effects to choose for Lacerate of Haemorrhage skill.
Volatility
Supported skills have increased maximum attack damage and decreased minimum attack damage.
Awakened Brutality
Supported skills have increased physical damage, no chaos damage, no elemental damage, and a chance to shatter enemies on hit.
Awakened Melee Physical Damage
Supported skills have increased melee physical damage, increased bleeding and poison damage from melee attacks, 10% attack reduced speed, and a chance to intimidate on hit.
Awakened Multistrike
Supported skills repeat 6 (3+3) times, increased attack speed, reduced attack damage by 20%, and increased damage bonus for the first 3 repeats.
Awakened Deadly Disease
Supported skills have increased disease damage and reduced damage on hit.
If you combine these gems with Lacerate of Haemorrhage, it may reduce some attributes, but it will greatly increase your ailment damage! You can try it in the game.
Uniques And Affixes
Lacerate Gladiator build doesn’t really need too many unique items to support its late game. But just in case, and to make it fully adaptable to the endgame event of Path of Exile 3.25, you can use the following 3 Uniques:
- Koam’s Sign x2
- Ryslatha’s Coil
If you try to get the belt directly with POE Currency, it will probably be very expensive because it is the best slot in almost all disease builds.
That’s all about the preparations and precautions you need to make for Lacerate Gladiator build in Path Of Exile 3.25. I hope you can have fun playing in the new league!

Path Of Exile 3.25: How To ...
In Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur, players have gained a new way to obtain items and currency in the game easily, which is through shipping. Shipping allows you to exchange the resources you collect for currency and items. You just need to load the resources and crew onto the ship and then wait for the ship to return in real time with a full load of rewards in tow. However, every shipping comes with a certain risk, and if you don’t want to lose your crew and rewards, you must learn to manage these risks. This guide will break down the shipping mechanics in Settlers of Kalguur for you step by step, so that you don’t panic in the game. Shipments When you start to form your own settlement, you will have access to a dock with your own ships and crew. Each ship you send out is loaded with a cargo, a bunch of resources you want to trade. After the ship successfully returns, each of these resources will be exchanged for common rewards in the game, such as POE Currency, Uniques, Scarabs, etc. The type of reward you receive depends on the type of resources you ship and the port you’re shipping to. When you upgrade a port, you gain access to up to three ships that can make multiple voyages at once to increase your returns. This system is a great way to earn some passive rewards without having to farm, but rewards players who take the time to build up the town of Kingsmarch. Resources As part of Settlers of Kalguur, the townsfolk of Kingsmarch will generate trade resources, which you can then ship to other ports. Shipment Value The amount and quality of the rewards you receive from your shipments depends on Shipment Value of all of them. So, the rarer the resource, the better the reward. The value of each shipment depends not only on each resource but also on the destination. So be sure to keep these in mind when sending out your shipments. Dust While the resources you ship affect the value of a ship’s cargo, adding a resource called Thaumaturgic Dust will also multiply the value of that cargo, and the more dust you add to that cargo, the higher the multiplier. You can think of it as a buff item. The stats that are currently known are as follows. The value is multiplied by 1.5 when Dust is 10. When Dust is 55, the value is multiplied by 2. When Dust is 520, the value is multiplied by 2.5. When Dust is 8150, the value is multiplied by 3. Rewards Based On Traded Resources By trading specific resources, you will receive specific rewards. Each resource is associated with an item type, as follows: Crimson Iron - Armor Orichalcum - Weapons Petrified Amber - Jewlery Bismuth - Skill Gems Food - Currency Crew To start a shipment, you need to equip your ship with a Crew. When you deliver a batch of resources to a different port, your Crew will reduce the risk meter by a certain amount based on its trait level. Higher-level workers will allow you to deliver high-value cargo at a time with little or even zero risk. Crew that dies because of risk may be permanently killed, which is why you must plan carefully when choosing which crew to send. Risks In the game, as in real life, no voyage is smooth shipping, as you may encounter bad weather, pirates, or deep-sea creatures at sea. As the value of your cargo increases, the risk meter for that cargo will fill up. This meter represents the percentage chance that something will go wrong with your cargo, and the higher the percentage, the more serious the consequences if something goes wrong. Some risks can kill your crew or lose their cargo outright, so make sure to keep the risk low while balancing the ship’s rewards. Pirates If your ship is commandeered by a pirate captain, then your ship and crew will be taken hostage. When this happens, you have three options. You can try to save your crew by fighting the captain. If you defeat them, they will drop their boss loot when they rescue your crew from the pirates. Note that you only have one chance to defeat the captain, so if you die, the cargo is lost forever. Second, you can pay a ransom to the bandit. If you pay the ransom, you get your cargo and crew back, but you don’t get any loot from fighting the boss. If you can’t pay the ransom or fight the boss, you can always abandon your crew and cut your losses there. This can be a bit ruthless, but you must remember that protecting yourself is the most important thing. Likewise, this can also happen within the town of Kingsmarch, as the likelihood of being attacked by pirates increases as the town grows. Just like the pirates encountered at the cargo transport, they will also take your town workers hostage, with the same options listed above. Ports Each shipment is sent to a specific port for trading. Each port has different types of rewards that they send back every time you ship a shipment. As your port level in Kingsmarch increases, you will gain access to various ports where you can trade. Distance Each port has a distance from Kingsmarch, which determines how long it will take to ship to that port. As the shipping distance increases, the longer you will have to wait in real time before you can receive your reward. Port Quotas While you can trade different resources with ports, remember that in order to claim your reward, you must provide a certain amount of resources to the port to reach its quota before you can receive your reward. In particular, some Refined resources, such as Bars, will take up 5 times the original resource required. So if your quota for Hematite is 500, 50 Hematite Ingots will fill up your quota faster than 500 Ore. You can complete your quota with multiple shipments, but only shipments that complete your quota will earn you the extra rewards. Make sure to meet your quota at each port to fully optimize the rewards you receive when your shipment returns. Currently Available Port Areas Kalguur Karui That’s all you need to know about Shipping Mechanic in Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur. I hope you can have fun with this new patch and build your Kingsmarch into a prosperous commercial town soon.

In addition to learning more about the game here, you will also have the opportunity to earn POE Currency! Come and participate!Aug-02-2024

The Wormblaster Unleashed: ...
For those who relish chaos, crave devastation, and dare to dance on the edge of danger in Path of Exile, Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster build is a revelation. This unique and audacious build unleashes the power of worms in a symphony of destruction. So, prepare your POE currency and embark on this exhilarating journey into the unknown. Introducing Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster for POE 3.22 If you've never encountered a worm-based build before, this is your opportunity to delve into the extraordinary world of Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster. This audacious build defies convention and promises an experience like no other in Path of Exile. How Does It Work? At the heart of this build lies the enigmatic worm. Each flask slot is occupied by a Writhing Jar, a vessel that releases two tiny worms upon use. These worms, though enemies, interact with on-hit and on-kill effects. The secret to this build's success lies in the Mother's Embrace belt, which acts as a nurturing guardian for these wormy minions. Whenever you summon minions, they partake in the essence of all five flasks simultaneously, spawning multiple worms. For example, summoning a single skeleton can lead to the creation of ten worms. With a setup of four skeletons, you can unleash an army of 40 worms. But what's the purpose of this wriggling assembly? Just as a good mother protects her offspring, we detonate them. The Tattoo of Arohongui Warmonger is the key. This tattoo has a chance to shatter slain enemies. By accumulating a sufficient number of these tattoos, you can achieve a 100% chance to shatter on kill. Suzu520 discovered an explosive synergy between these tattoos and the Herald of Ice skill. When active, the Herald of Ice causes Shattered enemies to explode. This means you can create a legion of worms and trigger a chain reaction of 40 explosions by simply stepping on them. Offensive Strategies Ensuring your flasks don't run dry is essential to this build's success. To maintain flask charges, Suzu520 has harnessed the power of the Soul of Ryslatha Pantheon option. It provides three flask charges every three seconds, provided you haven't used a flask recently. The beauty of this strategy is that your minions use the flasks, ensuring charge recovery remains uninterrupted. This build also invests in charge gain by selecting specific passive clusters, such as "2 Flask Charges Gained" and "1 Careful Conservationist." Cluster jewels, like Mender's Wellspring, further enhance charge recovery. As a result, Suzu's build regenerates an impressive 17.5 flask charges every three seconds, enabling a continuous stream of worms. However, the real challenge is scaling damage. Herald of Ice explosions do not benefit from spell damage scaling, requiring creative solutions. Generic Damage, Elemental Damage, and Critical Strikes are your pathways to success. Suzu has identified several unique items that significantly boost the build. The Annihilating Light triples elemental damage at the cost of resistances, a trade-off well worth it for the damage increase. Calamitous Visions, a unique jewel providing the Lone Messenger keystone, contributes a substantial 100% damage boost to the Herald of Ice. While this prevents the use of other Heralds, it's a minimal sacrifice. The Heatshiver helm allows the use of cold damage to deal fire damage, adding an extra layer of scaling. To maximize cold damage, the Cold Mastery debuff is utilized. It causes enemies you shatter to spread Frost, increasing the cold damage they receive. The Bonechill Support further elevates the cold damage by enhancing the debuff. In tandem with a well-structured curse setup, your damage output reaches formidable levels. The Complex World of Critical Strikes This is where the build becomes pricier and more complex. Suzu employs three Voices jewels, allowing for extensive customization of the passive tree. The build focuses on Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, which grants critical strike chance to Heralds. These costly clusters also provide an opportunity to enhance your area of effect, which would otherwise be limited. Notably, Herald of Ice does not expand further as its gem levels increase. The piece de resistance of this intricate structure is a unique jewel known as "Impossible Escape." It enables the allocation of passives in the vicinity of a particular keystone without the need for direct pathing. In this case, Suzu incorporates the Elegant Hubris timeless jewel, which dramatically alters the nearby passive nodes. Elegant Hubris transforms these notables into a 10% generic damage boost per frenzy charge or power charge. By acquiring all these notables, the build achieves a colossal damage increase, approximately 440% more damage. Furthermore, Pain Attunement is converted into Supreme Ostentation, which allows the disregard of attribute requirements on gear. To maximize this, small passive allocations are directed toward tattoos instead of attributes. A Fragile Yet Potent Defense In this audacious build, your most robust defense is to shed your fear. Fear is the mind-killer, the little-death that leads to obliteration. The key to surviving lies in releasing fear and allowing it to pass through you. A portal, linked to Cast on Death, is your final safeguard. Suzu520 has crafted a meme glass cannon build, renowned for its immense power and minimal survivability. As Suzu humorously states, "With great power comes no survivability." However, the immense damage output is undeniable. With skilled evasion and dodging, it's entirely possible to defeat Uber Bosses with nothing but your army of worms and your tactical wit. In the world of Path of Exile, Suzu520's Herald of Ice Wormblaster build is a testament to the creative and daring spirit of the player community. While it may not be the most conventional approach, it certainly offers a thrilling and unique gameplay experience.Oct-17-2023
