[1.0.0 UPDATED] 2H Melee dominating blow build - Fun and effective (also with facebreakers)
" one of my rings has 2% mana leech. I don't need pots too often. I did take 2-3 mana specs points though |

Updated the guide with a facebreaker variant :)
Glad you guys like the build so much ! IGN : @Supernico

(inclueded in edit: sorry in advance for wall of text lol ^_^)
Why not use the facebreaker skill tree for the two hander build? Edit: I ran them both on exilepro's build summary and it works out as follows (the facebreaker build seems better to me, increased duration is nice for dominated enemies, uses a few less skillpoints overall, and would use even less if ignoring resolute technique. Thoughts?: 2 hander build: Keystone Iron Reflexes: Converts all Evasion Rating to Armour Resolute Technique: Your hits can't be Evaded Resolute Technique: Never deal Critical Strikes Stats +390 to Strength +140 to Dexterity +90 to Intelligence Life 5.4% of Life Regenerated per Second 236% increased maximum Life +72 to maximum Life 0.2% of maximum Life Regenerated per second per Endurance Charge 2% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched back as Life Mana 8% increased maximum Mana Physical Damage 35% increased Melee Physical Damage 18% increased Physical Damage with Two Handed Melee Weapons Resistance +24% to all Elemental Resistances +2% to maximum Fire Resistance +2% to maximum Cold Resistance +2% to maximum Lightning Resistance Attack Speed 27% increased Attack Speed Endurance Charge +3 Maximum Endurance Charge Armour 52% increased Armour Critical Strike You take 30% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes Misc +2 to Melee Weapon and Unarmed range 12% increased Radius of Area Skills 8% increased Area Damage Facebreaker build: Keystone Unwavering Stance: Cannot Evade enemy Attacks Unwavering Stance: Cannot be Stunned Resolute Technique: Your hits can't be Evaded Resolute Technique: Never deal Critical Strikes Stats +320 to Strength +150 to Dexterity +70 to Intelligence Life +72 to maximum Life 5.4% of Life Regenerated per Second 230% increased maximum Life Mana 8% increased maximum Mana Physical Damage 35% increased Melee Physical Damage Resistance +24% to all Elemental Resistances +2% to maximum Fire Resistance +2% to maximum Cold Resistance +2% to maximum Lightning Resistance Attack Speed 33% increased Attack Speed Endurance Charge 18% increased Endurance Charge Duration +2 Maximum Endurance Charge Armour 40% increased Evasion Rating and Armour Ignore all Movement Penalties from Armour Critical Strike You take 30% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes Misc +2 to Melee Weapon and Unarmed range 45% increased Skill Effect Duration Also, would it be possible to do this build without endurance charges? I find them incredibly annoying lol. Probably not the facebreaker build since it relies on them for immortal call, but the two hander build. Maybe use them on increased armor nodes since your resists are capped? I don't have any high level map experience at all, just putting some ideas out there. EDIT AGAIN: I guess no access to blood magic would be a pain in the ass for the facebreaker build? Last edited by xSJx#0516 on Jul 3, 2013, 11:51:02 PM

Interesting build... I don't usually play around with melee but decided to give this a go. I just hit 59 and am hitting the same melee walls.
Ranged mobs and some yellow mobs seem really hard to kill. Just had 5 deaths in a row ( Just dinged so exp loss was minimal ) to a pack of blue archers led by a yellow leader mob. Yep it was a large pack. I was dead the second I came in range. Twang... Dead. Yes im in decent gear. Have had other issues with certain mobs while leveling also. Some I just could not kill period. Lastly I feel real squishy even with enduring cry and my current 47 percent mitigation. Running carnage heart, slither punch and meginords to compensate for health loss. Maybe melee is not for me...

How do you do the facebreakers in the Marauder tree? I don't understand
|
|
" you say your equipment is decent so I don't know what to tell you. I'm in act 2 merciless level 60 and feel like i'm facerolling most stuff. It's certainly not hard at all. I may have a death every now and then but it's my own fault for going through so fast and not waiting for my army to catch up. |
|
" You can pick up the same exact points (minus the attack speed node in duelist tree) by starting marauder xSJx => But the 2H build picks up Iron reflex , but with facebreaker since you use immortal call you can ignore that :p , also it picks more damage nodes that you need in order to have decent life leech going Reanimator13 => Can you link your gear and the current state of your skill tree ?

Completed merciless tonight. Died a couple times fighting piety. Only made it to level 63. I need a higher dps weapon now. Things don't die as fast as they used to.

Hi,
I wonder if u could tell me what u think on my variation of ur build. Currently im lvl 65 and adopted it to 1 hand(mace) + shield. current build and what im aiming for future build I still trying to get my hand on bringer or rain, but i hope it will help me get the speed and dps i need for higher lvl maps. gear wise:
Spoiler
If u could point out anything i could change or swap for better result would be much appreciated. BTW, ur build is great, and made me play my marauder again :] Cheers! YES I support the game, NO I don't agree with many GGG decisions
Lab still sucks balls. I miss Zana already. |

" Maybe it can work , your build had some useless nodes which I scrapped off : http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAxthYY1BQjM_2SF8_VEnnUu8Oud3yL9SPGS4n7dlhrKpXDXKpUeZZ8_uq0iGRznzZtC_AGqC0ns277UE_Zp7krZBVpzCplfrS3sGnhAHn974UIHB9UWA26R0UGjg26FBHT30kquNqj0ZMNew4ZKMYkYBWGYXQ0CjFOtgaVcmYz2X9z_O-LdJhIVXGhO8S4RZvdO2bg3rvU99gS1jbrK8FLYTZQKBlTW5p704hYEd-vqcyCXTxq8XSTRjbnrm9gcAPW69DnJkr3Q0OrTqzkAr8xSmlNYZnoLcXuc2dqod2OJZKfQ== Don't use mana , slot in a blood magic gem and run auras on your mana , while using your hp for attacks :> Have no clue if it will work well though IGN : @Supernico
