Weapons

For your weapon, you are looking for a spear with as much damage modifiers as you can, such as Physical Damage and Level to All Attack Skills. This is to focus on boosting your bleed damage as much as possible.

Your Offhand is meant for a Buckler, which is vital for this build's several layers of survivability. You are looking to build up as much Block Chance, Evasion, and Deflection as possible, while also getting Maximum Life and Elemental Resistances.

List of Weapons

Armor and Accessories

You are looking for as much Evasion as you can, along with Elemental Resistances to stack up on defences. Aside from that, build around numerous defensive stats such as Block, Deflection, and Life Regeneration.

This build makes use of the Constricting Command Viper Cap unique because it synergizes well with passive nodes that buff your damage when surrounded, such as Last Stand and Thrill of Battle. To further improve your bleed, this build uses the Beetlebite Velour Shoes and Venopuncture Iron Ring.

Lastly, Kalandra's Touch Ring is a great unique to have if you already have a strong ring it can mirror.

Armor

For your spear and armor pieces, slot in Greater Iron Runes to increase Physical Damage and Evasion. You can also slot in runes such as Greater Glacial Rune in your armor pieces if you lack certain Elemental Resistances.

For your gloves specifically, slot in the Courtesan Mannan's Rune of Cruelty to make your Bleeding damage even stronger.

Ryslatha's Coil Ornate Belt gives you a huge boost in Physical Attack Damage, and is the main reason you take this Unique belt.

This build relies heavily on your movement, and getting caught by enemies can be fatal. Thus, Thawing Charm and Stone Charm can be incredibly valuable in avoiding getting stuck. Amethyst Charm is also a great choice to balance out your Elemental Resistances since it can be difficult to get Chaos Resistance.

In general, you are looking for increased flask charges for better ease of use and the Grants Mana when Used modifier as a backup to make sure you can keep executing skills.

This build revolves around Rake and Disengage, building as much Bleeding and Physical Damage as possible before dashing away to a safe distance. Follow up with Blood Hunt to deal high single-target damage, especially when bossing. Spearfield is a general use skill that can be used to engage enemy packs.

Herald of Blood and Herald of Plague are your main sources of AoE damage since these can detonate and chain to other enemies due to your bleed and poison damage. Wind Dancer is an additional layer of defense that can help keep your distance from enemies.

Full Bleed Ritualist Playstyle and Skill Rotation

Rake and Disengage are all you need to go through maps. Deal Bleeding damage to enemies in your way and let Herald of Blood deal AoE damage. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Initiate enemies with Spearfield.
  2. Dive into enemy packs with Rake.
  3. Retreat to a safe distance with Disengage.
  4. Repeat the Rake and Disengage combo until enemies explode with the help of Herald of Blood.

Bossing Rotation

Your single-target damage still revolves around spamming Rake and Disengage to build up Bleeding damage before dealing massive damage with Blood Hunt. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Start the fight by marking the boss with Bloodhound's Mark.
  2. Engage the boss with Rake.
  3. Dash back with Disengage, avoiding damage.
  4. Repeat Rake and Disengage combo a few times to build up Bleeding damage.
  5. Execute bosses with Blood Hunt.
