[1.3.] Static Soul Automatic Curse Marauder - Tormentleague

Well, this is my first Guide for a Build, so please be nice with me.


The Idea is to use the new Defense Skills (Reckoning/Vengeance) for Curse on Hit and StaticStrike to gain some AOE Dmg for a melee build.

So start at the beginning:

Grab a Marauder, choose StaticStrike, and start killing everything on sight.

Leveling on Normal - Grab Unwavering and some Life and Shield Nodes (also Bloodmagic till you get a hand on SoulTaker)


Levelling on Cruel - Bloodmagic till SoulTaker, Armour, more Shield, and Resis


Levelling on Merciless and Maps - going for Dmg and more Life, removing Bloodmagic due to SoulTaker


Endbuild


Gear:


Flasks:


At this Point you can have the following stats which make Levelling and clearing >70 Maps quite easy:
Defense - 52-55% Block Chance, 4700 Life, 55% Dmg Reduction trough Armour which will go up to 77% with Endurance Charges and Granite Flask.
Offense - 14k DPS over 15k when using Daressos Buff, 7 Attacks per second, 5% LifeLeech (which is enough most of the time)

Bandits:
Kill em all cuz you need the Nodes

Pros:
so much fun to play and levelling is quite easy with static strike
in the beginning very cheap, you just have to wait for some good drops and buy ST then
dont need a 6 link to play till endgame and higher Maps as well
very good killspeed

Cons:
till ST you need Bloodmagic for the 4 Auras. You can die alot then.
Not playable with other Mellee Builds due to lags and desyncs
some bosses are a no go and some MapMods as well


Gems:
4-5 Link StaticStrike:
StSt, MultiStrike, WeaponEle, PhysMelee, Faster Attack
Move:
3 Link LeapSlam with FA and whatever you want
Defensive:
4 Link CWDT with ImmortalCall and EndCry and IncrDuration
4 Link CurseOH with Curse like Warlords Mark triggered by Vengeance and Reckoning (they deal Damage also, how nice!)
4 Link Aura/Herald Casting with RedMana, Hatred, HoI, HoA
3 Link Tempest Shield with RedMana, LifeLeech


Final Note:

this is a Build of the Week for sure ;) Well at least its really fun to play for a Melee Build. Not perfect maybe but with good gear playable in higher maps for sure.

I am Lvl 80 now and dont die a lot. Also the function of Reckoning, Vengeance is fun, the classic Sword (ok, axe) and Board Build with Tempest Shield as boost and the two heralds are alot of fun!

Check it out!

Your passive tree is 'terrible', you can get allot more out of it by changing some things. Better to look to the other static strike guides.

And build of the week should be original ones, this isn't (sorry to say).

When I started with this build, the League was new and static strike also.
No builds with static strike were available. I am not a 24 hours - 7 days player, sorry.

So my build is original and if there are others with static strike that should be normal for a skill that good. ;)

Thx for your feedback anyway.

So I looked around and didn't find any similar Marauder Build yet.

Also I do Maps up to 75 in a really good clear speed, whih makes me think that my skilltree couldnt be so terrible ;)

Anyway: I am open to good suggestions and a build could be improved almost every time.

My current skilltree:

this is the passive tree i would follow if i were in ur place.
u need to take resolute technique since its not a crit builds
drop resists nodes and armor and acc nodes .invest ur resists and armor mods through ur gears and master .

with 1 point of 4 reduced mana reserve u can run three auras determintaion /hatred /hoa.or without any reserved mana u can run hoa/vit/hatred/tempest at lvl 19 reduced mana.

remove curse on hit setup and place it in leap slam setup and add melee phy dmg and added fire dmg/conc effect.

@gokulnath: Damn, youre right. I totally forgot about resolute technique. I skilled and it was a major buff to my DPS.

Thx for that.

But on the rest I disagree and I guess it is a matter of taste. But I love to auto-curse even the ranged Attackers. :D

leap slam is also curse on hit setup only .u just jump on them (auto cursed)and whack them.if u r still lazy u can use it curse on hit setup with tempest shield.but having my setup with reckoning and vengeance will help u in clearing maps and killing boss soon (if u have leech on gear it surely help to leech life a lot

the difference between ur tree and my tree is

life:167
phy dmg:270
attack speed:30
inc armor:424
add to life:66

my tree
life:182
phy dmg:365
attack speed:36
inc armor:248
add to life:66
mine got plus 1 endurance charge ,onlsaught,incr life recover from flasks

stacking armor is not efficent at all(since our cwdt is going to trigger often).my tree is common tree for mara axe wield .my tree is basically taken from other static strike build nothing new here.

since u r using weapon ele dmg .having more phy will incr ur raw phy dmg which in turn produce more ele dmg and the ignite from ur herald will be more devastating .seeing ur gears ur wealthy enough to buy some decent gears to reach max resists and attribute without spending those points in passive tree


but if love armor nodes more then take unyielding nodes near resolute points which is flat 20dmg reduction from crit extra strikes by reducing ur dps

The advantage to skill Vengeance and Reckoning with AddFire and Melee Dmg brings some damage, thats true. But its only a slight gain compared to the advantage to be in Melee Fight and curse the Ranged Attackers and any other Attacker as well.

I am alway curious, so I tried the leap slam CoH setup, but it didn't felt good for me. So I went back to my old Set up and its very practical. Just try it out.


Ur skilltree indeed is a good one, I fixed some issues with mine now and gained again some Dmg without loosing too much of the Dmg reduction. Thx again man.

So this is my skilltree now:

it seems ur lacking in dex and int attributes.when u upgrade ur items u can respec dex nodes and the int nodes near zealtoath and take the parallel route towards mana reservation nodes so that u can save 2 skill points .i dont know why u dint take endurance charge with ur chest it helps with immortal call and ur onlsaught timing .if u dont like it u can take the attack speed node near strong arm and u can respec the str node near the armor . i dont know why u dint take arm/life hybrid points near mara and instead u went for pure armor nodes .having life is more important and then having armor.i dont have curse setup because because monster die with three to four clicks and i am active person so i self cast curse against boss and exile . i use other gems like molten shell and vaal molten shell for clear speed and defense. anyhow its ur build ur tree u can have fun in whatever way u like.gl buddy.glad u enjoy it
