Level 98 Sunder Gladiator^3.25

Notes

Hey guys! Welcome to my Sunder Bleed Glad Guide I threw together. This build was extremely good on a budget this league in HCSSF 3.25. This build once it has block cap, can clear T16 maps on a 4 link including lifetap. 
Very comfortable and way better when you obtain a shaper shield.

We will level this build as 2Handed Sunder because it's much easier, ONLY go 1H + Shield if you have capped attack/spell block with the lucky block ascendancy node. Otherwise it's just much better to go 2H for progression.

PANTHEONS:

Soul of the Brine King (Freeze Immunity)
Soul of Ralakesh until BLEED IMMUNITY then use Soul of Abberath for Burning Ground Immunity

TO GET A SHAPER SHIELD:
Farm T16 white maps with the Domination Scarab of Apparitions. This will spawn shrines in the map which have an Elderslayer influence applied to them that will drop loads of influenced items. Simply do this until you have your desired shield
or shield base. Then, head over to harvest and reforge influence until you have a shaper shield.
Once you have acquired the shaper shield, you can proceed to reforge life with harvest, use life fossils, or simply just chaos spam. THE ONLY MOD WE CARE ABOUT IS % LIFE ON BLOCK

Our Annoint on the build is Hatchet Master, this is going to save us a lot of passive points getting to this node and it gives us permanent Onslaught while mapping. Alternative Annoints would be Damage over Time Multiplier which the build thrives on.

Another Optional thing for the build is taking 2 Protection Masteries. I simply did this because I wanted Corrupting Blood Immunity and Elemental Weakness Immunity. You can just get a jewel for CB Immunity instead.

GEAR:

Amulet Should have Damage over Time Multiplier on it. This will just give you much more damage
Rings should be amethyst rings with chaos reforge from Harvest to get lots of chaos resistance.
Gloves you will want attack speed or mana leech on them. You can get mana leech from Jewels though so Attack Speed is always nice.
Helmet you will want just big armour/evasion, life, resistances
Body Armour, Go for a Conquest Lamellar and get as much defences on it as possible while also maintaining the "Additional Physical Damage Reduction" Modifier
Also, get the Searing Exarch Implicit for Gain an Endurance Charge once every 15 seconds to fully sustain Endurance Charges
Boots you will want to get life, resistances and be able to craft the "Avoid Chill/Movement Speed" Modifier
Belt you will want a Stygian Vise with Avoid Shock Percentage, Then use an Abyss jewel to makeup the other half of the Avoid Shock Chance to be Shock Immune

CRAFTING:

How to Craft a Good Axe:
Get an i83 Reaver Axe and start to Deafening Essence of Contempt until you get a free Prefix and 2 Free Suffixes.
Once you've done this, simply craft Multimod, either Physical Damage % or the Betrayal Physical Damage % Modifier, and Physical Damage over Time Multiplier or instead Attack Speed
There, that Axe is enough to do T16's

For an Upgrade, Deafening Essence of Contempt until you hit any hybrid Physical Damage/Acurracy Mod and an open prefix,
Craft Prefixes Cannot be changed and Veiled Orb, YOU WANT A VEILED PREFIX
If you failed, do Prefixes Cannot be Changed and Scour repeatedly until you get the veiled prefix.
Unveil Physical Damage % Betrayal Modifier then Prefixes Cannot be Changed, Reforge Speed for Attack Speed
For the Last Modifier Craft on Physical Damage over Time Multiplier and Warlord Exalt to finish.

For an Upgrade, use Reombinators to get T1 Flat Physical and T1 Hybrid Physical Damage/Accuracy
Once you have these 2 prefixes on 1 axe, Craft Prefixes Cannot be changed and Veiled Orb, YOU WANT A VEILED PREFIX
If you failed, do Prefixes Cannot be Changed and Scour repeatedly until you get the veiled prefix.
Unveil Physical Damage % Betrayal Modifier then Prefixes Cannot be Changed, Reforge Speed for Attack Speed
For the Last Modifier Craft on Physical Damage over Time Multiplier and Warlord Exalt to finish.


HOW TO SLOT IN MALEVOLENCE:

So for starters, this requires a shaper shield with both the % Life on Block and the Socketed Gems have 30% Increased Mana Reservation Efficiency in order to work.
You can get these from recombinators, or reforge life on harvest (Difficult), or life fossils (Difficult)
FOR MY BUILD I HIT A LUCKY CHAOS ORB TO GET MY SHIELD
Now, Socket Pride, Malevolence, and Herald of Purity in your shield
We then have to take the Cannibalistic Rite Cluster on the Passive Tree with the Mastery for 12% Increased Mana Reservation Efficiency
This is in order for us to have enough leftover mana to sustain our Tincture and for nothing else.
