My Eviscerate Bleed Gladiatior build

Hello fellow exiles, this is my first time posting a build here. I am by no means a great build maker, but I have been trying my hand at making my own builds for a while now (maybe the past 8 leagues or so) and have been getting increasingly more confident. I see a lot of people here struggling to come up with a build for this skill so here is mine. The passive tree (please note that damage you see there is just a simulation by trying using cleave with a big custom modifier to guess the damage of Eviscerate until PoB has the gem):

https://pobb.in/1iwa5IDXlfA6

With this passive tree, we get:

  • 65% block chance for attacks and spells both (paired with out lucky blocking from the ascendancy, this translates to a whooping 87.75% block chance.
  • Lots of bleed damage, from axe nodes and faster bleeding paired with duration nodes.
  • Insane value on a Lethal Pride on the left socket, since we have a total of TEN notables allocated.
  • 111% increased life, +3% to all elemental resistances, endurance charges, fortify and some good armour.

Here are some explanations for why I didn't choose certain things you might have considered:

  • I'm not taking Crimson Dance because of the cooldown, it would be way too hard to try and stack the bleeds.
  • I have not taken the new ascendancy node "Measured Retaliation" as I don't care for bypassing the cooldown of the skill since this is a DoT build. Instead I chose to get the easy agravated bleeding.
  • I have not taken many of the new retaliation nodes in the tree as I wasn't impressed by most of them.
  • I have never made a crit bleed build, so I'm not attempting any of that. Instead I find it easier to take Resolute Technique and not have to worry about accuracy.

The items I will use with this build are:

  • Jack, the Axe - A great unique axe for bleed builds, usually cheap (don't know how the price will behave in this league though).
  • Ryslatha's Coil - Expensive belt that is amazing on bleed builds as it acts like a volatility support.
  • Lethal Pride - I've never had this much value from a lethal pride before, plan to get one with as much Life and Physical Damage increases as possible. This is an expensive jewel.
  • Watcher's Eye - Almost every build benefits from this, and this build is no exception. Pride/Determination if possible.
  • Magna Eclipsis is an option for unique shield or just a very good rare shield with lots of defenses.
  • All of the rings and armours will be rare with life, defenses, resistances and relevant eldritch implicits.
  • No unique flasks, just armour/evasion flasks that will help a bit with defences and a lot with ailments.

The gems I will use are:

  • Eviscerate - Volatility - Melee Physical Damage - Brutality - Chance to Bleed - Swift Affliction
  • Pride and determination for auras. You can probably fit something else with enlighten support.
  • Vulnerability with cast when damage taken for curse.
  • Molten shell on self cast probably, use it while you're running around waiting for Eviscerate's cooldown.
  • War banner but I have no idea how good it's going to be.

The content I plan to try with it is league mechanics where you're expected to get hit a lot and have limited space, like Simulacrum, Ritual, Ultimatum. I expect the build to do upwards of 3 million damage according to my scuffed PoB calculations without the skill being on PoB. I expect to be very tanky except against chaos damage and damage over time.

If you read all that, thanks for your time. If I've made any stupid mistakes or forgot something crucial please let me know!

Edit: After discussions in the comments, there are some changes I'd make to the build, though I won't edit whats already on the post:

  1. Ditch the Resolute Technique because the skill actually has a line that says "Can't be Evaded" that I missed somehow. This is a no brainer and frees up 2 passive points.
  2. Swap Volatility Support and Ryslatha's Coil out for Cruelty Support and a rare defensive belt. This is mainly because the damage being shown in the PoB is being calculated with a modified Cleave that could be used repeatedly to try and hit a high roll for the bleed, but with the actual Eviscerate we won't be able to do that and will have too many low roll moments that will be straight up awful.
  3. Swap out the two rare rings for two Circle of Guilt with good Herald of Purity mods and use said herald along with an Enlighten Support and a couple of mana reservation tattoos. This is the best way to rise the PoB damage lost by the changes mentioned in the second point without relying on high variance. Since we have a lot of rare gear, we shouldn't have a problem keeping resistances capped and whatnot. I expect these rings to be very expensive though, saddly.
  4. Anoint my amulet which I completely forgot, lol.
