Realyn's release EK Marauder build. Tanky as Hell! Level 20 gem/gear update!

Will the nerf to purity and CWDT change this build any?
So I have enduring cry, decoy totem, molten shell at level 16/17 already. Lets just say CoDT is completely useless with high level gems now. CoDT needs ~2k damage to cast a level 16/17 molten shell and (right now at level 69) is about 1/3 of my health.

I don't know what was going on, but after the patch I almost ripped several times. You miss decoy totem and molten shield terribly, and the cast time it takes for them negates your kiting time with EK.

Is 9k armor and 80% all res not enough to tank Docks/Marketplace in merciless?

I feel like the nurf to CODT is a REALLY big hit. :(

Well, Realyn, here's an update from me.

Was melee till I got blood magic and life leech. Leveling was smooth sailing till 60 or so.

Things after Lunaris Temple got hard, mainly Barack's forward.

I did do piety runs and killed piety but it was really slow and tedious and exhausting, using 10 portals or more a fight.

I just got a crappy 5 link and 4 linked a helm in 2 fusings and the runs got SO -SO- much faster with faster casting and the cast on damage taken engine going, here are the items.

Spoiler


Got that armor for 7 chaos, but it was so hard to get 3 off color sockets, took me 130 chroms, I had 160... ended up with 31. Insane. But well, WELL worth it.

I am thinking of mapping next log in, I have 5 atm or maybe a few pietys/catacombs before them.


My question for you, is should I try to get a Stafford's Frame next? How bad is not blocking melee attacks?

Here are my items I am considering upgrading, but wana know what should be my first priority. I am thinking the sapire ring into a spell dps orientated ring, but give me some perals of wisdom?

Let me know, thanks bro! And I am just astonished how simple and face roll it got with the upgrades I got!!

I am so glad it solo's really, REALLY well!
I'm a really big fan of Saffell's. It basically lets you go brain afk against spells. So I would try to get that shield first. Then maybe your gloves. The damage on them doesn't work with ek.


About CwDT: I did 10-15 73's earlier today and didn't felt the change. I've used a lvl 19 CwDT with a ~3k treshhold which is 40% of my life. Whenever I got hit big the totem and molten triggered just fine.

This is enough. You sure you weren't shot at by LMP carrier queens? They were bugged.

I got hit by those too before I learned from chat they were bugged. When I went to the Ebony Barracks, soldiers were chunking half my health with a charge and I can't even tell you how much harder the General was this time around.

Idk, gonna try to throw Faster Casting on MS, EC, DC, until I can level up my other CoDT. Maybe that'll help me keep everything up.
AHH! Realyn! What happened?! I missed it :(
