[3.27] CheapBunny's Rupturing Bleed Bladestorm Slayer | Perfect Agony | Usurper's Penance



Introduction
I’ve made so many Reaper builds in the past, always chasing that fantasy of becoming the Reaper itself. Not just summoning it—being it. And with the Rupture support getting buff in 3.27, I know that the day has come. This build captures the essence of the Reaper: swift, ruthless, and utterly relentless.
Скрытый текст


Rupture Support: The Rupture debuff can now stack up to 4 times on a target (previously 3).

Rupture, a underused support gem, when used alongside with Perfect Agony, which allows bleed to scale damage through critical strikes, the damage output is explosive. Combined with strong defensive layers, the build is both deadly and resilient.

And on a totally serious side note: if you want to unlock double damage on this build, you should absolutely use The Blood Reaper two-handed axe skin transfer. It’s scientifically proven to boost your DPS by 100% (nah just kidding xD).

This is the closest Path of Exile build has ever let you come to embodying the Reaper. Once again, Reaper is Love <3.

Build Thought
Скрытый текст

Rupture support got buffed in 3.27, it can stack Rupture debuff up to 4 times now, so I wanted to make a bleed build that can utilize this support.


Why Bladestorm? Why Bleed deal damage faster is good for this build?
Скрытый текст

To fully ultilize Rupture debuff, we need a fast hitting skill that can apply rupture debuff as fast as possible, and also with bleed damage bonus, Bladestorm is exactly that.



Every blade storm can linger up to 3 secs, and we can have maximum 4 Bladestorm at once, this build can hit up to 8 times per second. The fast hitting of Bladestorm not only synergize well with Rupture support, it also maximize the bleed damage as we get to roll the damage 8 times, and only the highest bleed damage will be applied, effectively make our bleed damage 8 times more lukcy.

Because of how often this build can apply bleed, bleed duration is not something this build need, making bleed deal damage faster an effective more damage multiplier, so I stack multiple source of this modifiers on gears and passive tree, for example Usurper's Penance helmet.



(the light radius penalty is kinda annoying for indoor map though)


Why Perfect Agony?
Скрытый текст

Since Rupture support require the bleeding hit to be critical strike as well to apply Rupture debuff, it is very obvious that it will go well together with Perfect Agony keystone.

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Agony
Damage over Time Multiplier for Ailments is equal to Critical Strike Multiplier
Critical Strikes do not deal extra Damage
Non-Critical Strikes cannot inflict Ailments

With this keystones, we can scale our bleed damage with Critical Strike Multiplier, the downside is Damage Over Time multiplier no longer has any effect on our bleed damage.


Why Slayer?
Скрытый текст

Frenzy charge stacking is one of the best damage scaling for bleed build in POE, by using the infamous Olesya's Delight and Ralakesh's Impatient combo.



This combo allows the build to have both Affliction charge and Frenzy charge at the same time, a huge damage boost for any damaging ailment build.

Slayer's Masterful Form ascendancy node is perfect for this combo. It gives +1 frenzy and make the build stacks Endurance charge at the same time, which is a huge defensive bonus.
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Masterful_Form
Your Maximum Endurance Charges is equal to your Maximum Frenzy Charges
+1 to Maximum Frenzy Charges

Slayer's Overwhelm ascendancy node also synergies well with the critical strike, Perfect agony that we are going with.
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Overwhelm
Base Critical Strike Chance for Attacks with Weapons is 8%
+10% to Critical Strike Multiplier per Nearby Enemy, up to +100%
Nearby Enemies have -30% to Critical Strike Multiplie
