My build guide for the BladeStorm Max Block Gladiator Build Guide for path of Exile (PoE) is finally complete. It focuses on dealing a strong bleed DoT. While Maintaining Max attack and spell block. I am league starting this in Path of Exile Expedition 3.15 as it survived the nerfs. It can get into high tier maps for around 20c and scales into whatever budget you have, continuing to get stronger.

History
------------------
PoE 3.15
------------------
Strangely despite the nerfs this build has gained about a million DPS probably from the base damage buff and how base damage scales bleed so well.
Ruthless no longer supports BladeStorm - Replace with Maim!
-------------------
PoE 3.16 - Scourge League Start
-------------------
Reworked Tree for passive tree changess and masteries.
Changes Annoint to Command of Steel (+ 10% to spell block taking us to cap.)
(The New tree has not been tested - If you play this and hit issues comment or join us on discord)
------------------
3.17 - Seige of the atlas
------------------
Reworked tree and masteries for better defence based on playtesting in 3.16

-------------------------------
PoE 3.18 Sentinal
-------------------------------
3.18 - 08-May-2022 :-
Reworked tree and defence
We are now shock and freeze immune and have fortification
Damage has been boosted by 700k due to the tree rework

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
19-Aug-2022 :- Lake Of Kalandra (PoE 3.19)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Added Searing Exarch and Eater of worlds mods to chest, helmet and boots
Changed amulet anoinment to Charisma to offset loss from the 15% reservation mastery in this patch. (THIS IS A MUST HAVE)
Upgraded tree to 3.19 and corrected newly missing nodes.
Removed 110% bleeding damage customisation from weapons as this is now handled in pob properly
Added Iron Reflexes to vastly Increase Defence of armour.
Changed last ascendancy to Violent Retaliation to boost hit damage and double the amount of leeching we do. (Does not effect bleed)
Lowered block on tree to compensate for change in ascendancy
Modified early tree.
Added Tempest Shield for Shock Immunity
Added enligten to support Pride - Use Herald of Purity until you get one.
Dropped brutality and added chance to poison to the shield ilinks in it's place and added bleed mastery that grats 60% increased bleed damage on poisoned enemies.
