[Path Of Exile 3.1] The INVINCIBLE Sunder/Cleave Glad: Safe/Cheap (~10c), do all content, and map fast. HC Viable.

The concept:

I simply desired to share with you guys some helpful information for any brutality/phys based sunder/cleave gladiators. It has been probably the most fun I have had with a build in Path Of Exile. We use sunder for mapping/clearing base content, and transition to cleave and to deal with tougher boss encounters through the use of permanent fortify using the Overwhelming Odds jewel. This POE 3.1 Gladiator Duelist Builds shines at mapping and farming lab. It's fast, very tanky, and safe. Basically, we are designed for all guardians with few issues (Barring some absurd mods), it is not well suited for farming guardians due to how much time it requires. You are best at farming maps/lab with builds like this. This Gladiator build is excellent, like an Abyss League starter, or like a character that may scale to accomplish all content generally. It is extremely flexible and that is what makes it so great. Some minor buffs were put on the shield nodes based on patch notes, and VP was moved nearer to the tree, but VP isn't needed nor great for this build because losing your regen is terrible and also you already rarely get hit because of the block possibility of the Gladiator Duelist Build so do not worry about it.

Benefits and drawbacks of the Gladiator Duelist Builds


Benefits:

+Very tanky with 74-78% spell/attack block. Running at ~15k armor with no flasks. ~35k with 1 jade flask of reflexes or granite flask of iron skin.

+Great league starter/currency player for maps/lab.

+Safe and flexible build that you rarely end up feeling near to dying

+Inexpensive build uses Bringer of Rain so no requirement for chest armor. (Beginning gear is ~10c)

+90% phys minimization is fully flasked, ~80% running only basalt or granite flask. Laugh at something that does physical damage.

+Insane damage reduction (Enfeeble to lessen enemy damage by 21-25%, Fortify to help reduce by another 20%, and 5-6 endurance charges for an additional 20-24% phys minimization stacking on the top of armor basalt pantheon arctic armor).

+5 endurance charges (6 if you choose to purchase a corrupted belt).

+Extremely fast map (Less quick as vaal power siphon, although not restricted by map layouts like VPS and WAY tankier).

+Easy lab

+Hardcore viable

Drawbacks:

-Can be a slow boss killer, reduced ceiling for DPS when compared with another builds, but nonetheless safe.

-Not ideal for shaper or uber atziri, especially shaper. Uber atziri is doable however a huge challenge for your mechanics.

-Low chaos resistance. I ran my character through everything with -60 chaos resistance. This isn't as big of the deal as you may think as long as you are conscious and do not stand it caustic clouds and browse Identification strongboxes.

-Cannot take big elemental hits due to low HP (Things like phoenix's explosion or dominus' donkey punch).

-Have to be a lot more careful on phys map bosses folded with double ele mods i.e. extra damage as lightning extra damage as fire.

Comments:

This is an extremely nice build and one that is a lot of fun. When I just started playing poe, I imagined just high DPS, but after a number of deaths, I realized I needed a build to go through every map with no great difficulties and that I thought a build like this would do the job. Hope lots of people love this particular Gladiator Duelist build and have as much fun with it as I did. The survivability is fairly legit too which is always nice.
