[1.0.6] 1H shield infernal blow marauder/duelist with video by boxsalesman ( immortal build )

Trying the build. however what priority of gems would you suggest as Im new and broke on Nemesis.

Seems superb for HC tbh, however there will be a good amount of time spent before Ive managed to collect all these gems and supporters. Im thinking to maximize a 5s infernal blow at first but seems on damage taken is important to.

please advise

Hi,

Nice guide, thank you for taking the time to write it and make the videos. I'm using it for my first character (lvl 43 so far) and I've only had issues on the last boss on normal mode. My gear is really really shitty, but I'm having tons of fun going through the game making everything explode.

I may have some questions for you though, like, which spell do you think I shouldn't level up ? Or should every gem be leveled up to 20 if my stats are high enough ? (I'm having troubles leveling up Clarity for instance, I'm stuck on lvl 3 or something because of super low int)

Also, do you think you could post a sample of build for the 20 points you didn't spend in the builds posted in the original post ? Or just a few advices in which nodes to take, or not to take with the remaining points.

I would buy multistrike as a first priority gem ( I know it's expensive , but still ) And you can take cast when damage taken from merciless library quest. The reason we do it is in this order is so you can start lvling multistrike earlier, while cast when damage taken has to be level 1 anyway.

why dont u use immortal call instead of summon skel.?

Mana is a nightmare early with this.

i am now level 50 and if im not using clarity, even with, i need 2 manaflasks and 1 hybrid.

Yeah , the build is tuned for lategame, currently I never run out of mana anymore, and I'm even running tempest shield on top of the two aura's.

i love the theorycraft on this build, however im 53 and in merciless and starting to hit a wall.

normal/cruel were a BREEZE. i stacked life/resists to 75%/armor. but i find in act 1 merciless im not seeing a huge jump in survivability i feel i need from the gear... should i start wasting my orbs on crafting a new sets of rare armor/weapon?

not to mention the named unique mobs in merciless that use viper strike, it literally drains me instantly.

any advice?

Well , usually people hit a wall at the end of cruel , seems you just hit your wall later ;) Try grinding some ledge, it's a nice place to grind and 6S items can start dropping in lvl 50+ zones , they can net a nice profit when vendored ( 7 jewellers ) or you could even get a 5/6 L , but don't count on it.

Yay my first PoE post hehe.

Started playing 4 days ago, and during the (extraordinarily long) download, I spent time reading the forums and ran across this build. I have to say...it is fun; especially once I started to understand how the gems work together. I have followed the skill tree almost exactly (did throw in a couple twists that could be respecc'd later) and is tearing thru cruel (currently 48) pretty easily....considering I don't have but a third of the gems needed and crap gear hehehe.

ATM I rely on a perma double strike/faster attack/melee physical damage coupled with clarity. As I get to understand crafting better (as well as THE GRIND for gems hehe) I should get closer to what you envision.

Again....a BIG THANK YOU magier556!
