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

So i finally switched to wand/shield and using EK ... but damn am i running into issues:

1) even with life leech, blood magic makes me too squishy now [loose too much life]
2) what do you do against bosses and unique namers? i have no single target high dps spell anymore with wand

thanks so much for the help

The leech "problem" will get better in just a few levels. Blood magic level has a 250% or so multi.

Against bosses I used viper strike with a +2 meele weapon and vulnerability as curse.
Sorry if you are waiting for a update, it'll come tomorrow. My Q Ek is just shy of 20 and I would like to include that one.
I'm trying to switch to this build but I won't be using any regrets. I have 18 respec points at the moment.

Here's my current build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBxthYY1BQjM_2SF8_VEnnUu8Oud3UjxkuJ-2sqlnzwBpmnvrSNunjapBVp4QaOOw4Oth8u8WK8B89_Hy4KS4dFI9G0NDPZVXGxPY8Lcautz7-CudjiPGsWTWStfJuqkrIqW54Db6KAdykGeLqYSGE714TG8hDMbZBTioppVuv3Q38xWegh3ZKfXTteu9gSwUtQKCeuWqT1e3AD_IvJItN2Ix2

I'd like to spec out as efficiently as possible, Realyn, how do you think I can do it? Or do you think I should stay where I am and just get the armour nodes that are around my current passives? If I do spec out, it won't be the most efficient build, but it should be quite a bit better.

Edit: I might have just figured out how to do it with 18 points respec. I won't be able to touch the east side of the tree, though, but that shouldn't matter too much as I'm doing scepters and not wands.

Thanks for the guide realyn, here I'll contribute other class variations of this build.


Here's the shadow one ( 105 point build, but you'll be killing all of the bandits but only take either the 18% phys dmg boost OR +1 endurance charge your choice! This build has less endurance charges so it can fit to be a 105 point build to complete the build you simply add endurance charges + more health you don't need to worry about shield nodes because you have over 100% evasion with iron reflxes ;3 )





Did u try this?
If yes, show pls ur gear and stats. and may be some video.

Ok then.

Also, on curses, what is better Vulnerability or Projectile Weakness? I see you started with Proj Weakness but switched to Vulnerability.

And what do you think of Iron Will over Faster Proj as a 6th slot?

What is the benefit to either.

I was making a witch EK tank before the 1.0 release that changed everything and she used Iron Will gem. Just curious.

Thanks and I hope to catch you stream going sometime!!!

edit: Well I went ahead and grabbed Vulnerability from Cruel Brutus, gona get Determination and then immortal call from the next 2 skill rewards.

Also, one thing that does suck about this build is the rare wep rewards all wouldn't have good stats for this, eh?

I've used Vuln because I was in a party with other melee phys chars.

You can take Iron Will if you feel like you are struggeling with damage and have some proj speed on your wand. Personally I couldn't go without 60+ proj at this point. It just feels so good :)

Hehe yeah, iirc you can pick a wand once. But maybe you get a good 2h and are able to sell it.

I understood u clear?
Better to have grey item with linked sockets that u need, than spend a lot of orbs and make rare item with this sockets?
I mean no matter what stats on ur gear befor merciles?

And how about that u have small chaos res ?
