[1.2] Two Hands to Rule Them All - Budget Mara
Build Premise and Overview
I wanted to make a mara spec using 2h weapons that had flexibility and potential, as well as the ability to level as the spec you are going to use endgame. After some experimentation on the tree I realized I can easily hit 180-200% hp while still keeping up the Dps for clearing. Testing Progress: Merciless Act 3 Videos (Empty)

Spoiler
Mods in order of Priority Resists Hp Dexterity (While Leveling) Physical Damage Attack Speed 1 Chaos for the win This Mace will take you places. It can be used as your weapon in Merciless act 3 if you want to push it. Testing of using it in maps is required. Uniques that help you Level Uniques that can help endgame Note BoR: If you are going to go Bringer of Rain drop the Meginords for a belt with more resists on it. It can fairly easily give you a nice 7l using it. It's generally low cost and will net you use of a 7l till you get a nice 6l mace and a 5-6l chest then Meginords outperforms due to the defense added from a good (key word: good) chest and helm.

Tree:
I'd drop the horrible 4 point Life leech cluster for the "Wrecking Ball" cluster. +41% damage, +12% attackspeed vs 3% life leech. For 1 skillpoint more, you can drop the two 12% resist nodes in marauder start, and take "Faith in Steel" in Marauder (8% all resist, 28% armor). Probably drop the useless 6% damage, 2% attack speed node next to "Destroyer" for it. Click me +10 strength +35% damage +10% attackspeed +8% fire resist +28% armor (and some ES) -4% cold/lightning resist -3% life leech (ignore the "life on kill", that's not worth it anyways) If you get some 2-3% life leech on your gear, this is just a net win in all aspects. About "Bringer of Rain": Due to "meta" (all those Wings of Entropy Bringer of Rain Lazhwar dudes), this item is no longer the "poor man's 6L", it sells for quite a bit (around 5 Ex in Rampage). You actually get white 6L chest pieces for the same price. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519
