0.10.0! - In Depth Ground Slam Marauder

So I've been playing for 3 days and this is my first char and this build looked pretty cool when I was looking for a class/build to play.

Now I'm lvl 50, halfway through act2 ruthless.

This is the build I have right now, been following this guide pretty much. Now I'm getting those +mace dmg nodes around resolute technique.

I've got some questions tho:

1.) In the summary you said "you won't miss". How is that without Resolute Technique? I have 82% chance to hit and I miss some hits for sure.

2.) I have 1780 dps on heavy strike which I'm using for single target. The ONLY other ability I use is ofc Ground Slam (800 dps). I use 2 auras the one that gives armour and phys dmg to some extra cold dmg. Should I use any other ability? Cause the only ability that is stated in the guide for PvE is Ground Slam.

3.) I have the following defensive stats: 69% phys dmg reduction, 63% fire res, 80% cold res, 78% lightning res. Now that I'm in the dark forest in ruthless I take pretty big hits sometimes. Am I missing something?

well buks, i guess not enough life?

you have almost no life nodes, you will die very soon to chaos damage since it ignores armor.

Gogo glass cannons build with 100+ deaths, huh.

Dude, I'm just following this guide, still a complete newb to the game. I just realized there are 2 life nodes at the very start to take which I just did.
But the 2 builds linked in the OP has none of this two.

Is there any other life nodes I'm missing?..

Hello.

Awesome guide, thanks. I would love to build a 2H marauder.

I'm HC player. Do you recommend any change for hc play?
I will never do pvp, so Im focus on pve HC, playing alone mostly.
Will I need more life nodes, regen life nodes, or something?

I won't have access to powerful gear almost never, so take it into consideration about going more defensive or so.

Which change would you do in passive tree (or other)?

Regards

Don't use this build in HC, you will die in ruthless, definetly in merci, and doubly so in maps. In fact, this build is based on an entirely flawed premise, that armor is viable, it is not, in no way shape or form, viable with no HP.

To put in context, I believe the person using this build, plays(ed) exclusively in legacy, where the godliest of gear gets sold for alt shards or given away.

This guy must be trolling. This can't work. Squishiest Mara ever.

Thanks, I will keep searching then for a build with life and life regen nodes mates!

Just got the Beta, this guide looks really detailed thanks! Will be trying this build for my first character ever.
