PoE 3.25 Best Bleed Build - Top 3 Best Bleed League Starters in Settlers of Kalguur

Melee was hugely buffed, and bleed gained a lot of power on the skill tree in Path of Exile 3.25. Together with melee, GGG changed Gladiator Ascendancy making it the best defensive option that we currently have with an insane 87% block chance that is pretty easy to achieve. On top of that, they changed bleed-related nodes adding aggravated and raised damage for explosion nodes from 10% to 20%, making bleed explosions even more juiced. Read our PoE 3.25 Bleed build guide, we're breaking down the top 3 best bleed league starter builds for Settlers of Kalguur. 

No.1 PoE 3.25 Best Bleed Build - Bleed Lacerate Gladiator

Bleed Gladiator will be a pretty strong league starter in Path of Exile Settlers of Kalguur. The build is heavily carried by the bleed explosion node, therefore, the main issue is single target damage which is great with Lacerate double slash. Another reason is the buff itself. Lacerate received a huge damage effectiveness bonus from 120% to 346% which is going to help with scaling significantly, especially in the endgame. The end-game version of Lacerate of Haemmorrhage has physical damage from 6K to 84k which is a huge difference because it's mostly using volatility support. So when you are hitting an enemy the enemy receives one bleed stack if you're not using Crimson Dance based on the physical damage of that roll. Overall, its tankiness, clear speed, skill choice flexibility, and low gearing requirements make Bleed Lacerate Gladiator a solid choice to start leagues effectively.

No.2 Best PoE Settlers of Kalguur Bleed Build - Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain

Bleed Ground Slam Chieftain is the best PoE 3.25 bleed league starter for Settlers of Kalguur. Ground Slam is a melee skill that will make a pretty noticeable wave that will travel where you looking with your cursor. You will deal more damage with hits to closer targets but because we are scaling the bleed damage, this doesn’t help us. Now the most satisfying thing is the area that you can hit with your attack. With this build, you will hit half of the screen with your attack. This build is using 3 War Cry, you are only using 1 or 2 but both have a pretty long duration so don’t worry. The only thing that you need to keep up is the enduring cry because of the regen that is given to us. When you will have a better gear, you will one-shot all the normal monsters with your hit damage.

No.3 PoE 3.25 Bleed Build - Bleed Earthquake Gladiator

Bleed Earthquake Gladiator is one the best PoE 3.25 bleed league starters. We will be opting for a shield and axe. Now you can start enjoying full-fledged bleed action even in Act 1. It's possible to achieve a 100% chance to bleed with just 14 points and the chance to bleed a support gem. Gladiator's block ascendencies provide excellent defensive layering. With a high max block chance, the build will be quite tanky even on a budget. Its tanky defenses from block, good clear from bleed explosions, and skill/playstyle suitability from acts to endgame Maps make it a practical league starter capable of handling league mechanics well early on.
