0.10.0! - In Depth Ground Slam Marauder

I've messed around with a few of the passives to get some more life/resistances for hardcore. It looks like it has worked well although I have completely dropped the endurance charges so we'll have to see. Any feedback is welcome.

What's the point in Versatility for if RT gives 100% hit and BM negates the need for mana/int?

This is pretty much the same build I'm doing, though I haven't picked up Diamond skin's neighboring nodes since I heard resistance is easy to get through endgame gear.

It's working pretty well for me.

You're right about versatility the minor increase that the 20 dex/int gives you is minimal (+4 evasion/energy shield). I would probably drop it and put the skill point into an extra Armour node. If you were to pick up iron reflexes it may be worth having the dexterity just for the added Armour.

The reason I went for the resistance is because how extreme the game gets later on especially for melee characters. I was playing act 3 yesterday and the damage I was taking was ridiculous. If you're fine without it though, more power to you but if you're playing hardcore like I am I would recommend it.

So we are in Act 3 Merciless and its hopeless.

You get fucked by everything, this build has SHIT life regen, SHIT defensive.

For the bandits quest, which option to pick?
+8 for resist
+45 life?
For non-hc
For each difficulty?


Which items to chose for the great white beast in each difficulty?

For bandits, kill all 3. You will get 1 skillpoint =]

Wat aura u using and can u show me a gear thank a lots

Updating soon!

Updated!

Hi there, I'm new to this game and play a ground slammer as well.

My question about your build is why do you get accuracy with 2 handed melee weapon nodes when you're using resolute technique anyways? For example in your 21 point build http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAGS4hAiftKS408jkOPfxYY3Kpe4x8uHzZjAakrKlzrKq53cbY1I_vDvIv you get an accuracy node on your way to butchery even though you could've passed 2 melee physical damage nodes on your way to butchery instead.

What's the point in that?
