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

Ok, if you can show me a 85+ Nemesis. Since you obviously don't want Nemesis exalts :).

"

I know flasks dont refill when its just her left, but 10 max res is a huge difference in damage taken

So, how do you get 10% more max? You know that Saffell's gives 5, right?

"

You would have went from 77 to 92 res, and bought time to pelt them with EK and traps.

At this point I don't even know why I'm still talking to you. We are talking about 2 Pietys, both with 3 player health. Why the fuck do you keep bringing up flasks?

You are fucking seriously saying: Use flasks to achieve magic 92% allres and then dance around her with EK. Fuck yeah man, after the flasks are done you have taken 5% from her health, if at all. Fucking great!

Also another question. What do you suggest doing when you .. like ... run out of flasks. Like I maybe did at the point when I died?


Again,, if you show me a 85+ Nemesis on this account.


And no, I didn't made any mistake or wrong choice. What I tried was the only possible way to bring her down. And you, I rarely say this, lvl 50 somewhat idiot are trying to berate me.

holy cow , you're mad, all i read was fuck fuck fuck

anyway, i dont have an 85 (on nemesis), or any char on this account for that matter ... it doesnt matter because the fact is you chose wrongly and paid for it, as i stated already. You can have multiple flasks in your belt, and you got a number of portals. You shouldn't have done this in a 3p game if you were the one who was going to kill her. Poison arrow renders you too vulnerable and the damage is too slow, and you have to rely on her staying in the cloud, its next to impossible. And last but not least ... 'Tanky as hell'

Funny how I allready killed one of her and got this one to 55% for such low damage on PA, isn't it?

Please go ahead and share your real account! :) Then again, we both know you won't haha.

You are sooo deluded for suggestion trying to side step her with temp chains and GMP. There is no way you ever set foot into a Shrine map.

Hey guys, I have been using this build and have really been enjoying it!

I Just hit 65 and I was wondering if you guys could take a look at my gear and tell me what you would upgrade next as I progress into maps? I feel pretty tanky but my DPS seems a little low, I'm not sure though. My DPS sits about 1550 with haste and 1780 with.

Thanks. :)

The int ring is very good, the other not so much. What's the ilvl of the chest? If it's high get a better life roll with alt's. The belt is really really bad. You should be able to get a 110 life, 30-40 res one for 2,3 chaos.

I'm at level 65 too and want to know what the "cast on damage taken" links should be with the new change to cast on damage taken. What is the preferred set up with decoy totem, immortal call, molten shell, and enduring cry. Thanks!

I have my Level 2 CoDT gem linked to Decoy Totem (9), Molten Shell (8) and Enduring Cry (5). It works pretty well and keeps endurance chargers up most of the time.

awesome. is the plan still to use 2 CODT or are they not as good anymore? I can't tell, I leveled the crap out of all my gems before i got CODT so now it's trying to catch up :(

Also don't feed this trolly bastard....he clearly is jealous realyn XD

For the limited time I got after the patch I simply used a lvl 19 cwdt for molten shell/decoy. Sure, it didn't go off as much as before, but heck .. it was anything but terrible. Maybe just use 1 cwdt with Molten/Decoy/Immortall Call.

@ Realyn, Even after you RIP'd do you believe this build is viable, would you use it again? What, if anything, would you change? I'm leveling it now, i'm still early (level 20) so EK is kinda weak at this point, but I'm looking forward to the end tankyness later, it's my kinda of style.

Any helpful leveling tips would be awesome. I've ripped three level 65's (ground slam, double strike, and ST, never did EK before) now to being retarded and a 74(duelist two hand) in maps to a massive volley of corpses (wretch's op). So I'm a little disheartened with nemesis at the moment.

How are you dealing with stuns, considering you don't get Unwavering Stance? Or is the HP so high that no stuns get through?

I'm currently doing very similar build but I think I'll have to get Unwavering Stance - stuns are deadly in my experience, and it has a nice synergy with Iron Reflexes.

you're fuming mate, calm down

Some pointers to keep in mind upon rerolling

You build wrongly, with saffell as main, and you didnt even prio block. So you have no attack block, and low spell block. Your build was doomed from the start, I knew this when I first saw the build, but didnt say anything. Anyways, I would have statted max block and built with rathpith / SOL (rare amu when you dont need it) or lioneye / saffell swapping (the only dangerous bosses you would need to swap would be crem, piety and excellis ... piety iceform you swap back to lioneye or ideally stand behind pillar, unless you got something like 35k armor to tank it). I dont think you know what a huge difference going from <50 to 75 block / spell block is.

Also, for shrine piety I wouldnt take anything less than 3 topaz flasks with me. Laugh all you want, I would take 3 topaz flasks and a seething hallowed, and a catalysed / sapping sanctified. The spell block and extra max res will buy you enough time to dps her down. Out of potions --> portal. The best would be to also slot reduced duration - lightning warp - blood magic, its an instant teleport right now. It really helps getting around, I just tried it and was like holy crap!

What else? Yeah if one gets a wand with proj speed, swap the support for iron will. For a non crit EK, its a huge needed dps boost on a marauder with all the wasted str.

75 spell block and 87+ res is huge vs her lightning spells, you obv never tried this. And now with purity of lightning giving ~4 max res, she will be ezmode with such a build. I am making an ek / firestorm build that will eat up nemesis, and its based on rathpith / SOL.

Lastly, I dont care what you think about my gaming experience, this isnt about me, its about you and your build. Tell yourself what you want to make yourself feel better, but deep down you know im right and what you did was very foolish.

US is a thing of the past. It wasnt needed before the patch with average 4k life, and esp. isnt needed now after the life buff.

So you are still going on with facetanking her hum ... with all your amazing items and stuff people have 3 weeks into Nemesis. FYI not everyone builds his char for a random Shrine map. Actually, you did get that I blew exalts and eternals on that map to roll it like that and mostl likely rip, did you?

Damn, you are so embarrassing. Posting here, in Alkaizer's thread and god knows where else ... and for all that you need a fake account to hide your shitty chars :).
