So, I'm just thinking... with 4700life, there is some room to adjust... The left side of the tree is 2 passives from the reduced mana nodes making it viable to run a resistance aura along with hatred and grace/haste.

Also, if u can 5 or 6 link the Wings of Entrophy... It may be more viable to run your CWDT stuff in that, and put your leap slam in your rainbow strides....

Something like...

Wings - CWDT + enduring cry + Warlords mark + Molten shell + Cast when stunned ...

Rainbowstrides - Leapslam + Faster attacks + blood magic + Enfeeble.


I may be looking to buying some gear to start this guy.... I dunno

Seems pretty end game worthy, would love to see some videos of it though...

First I would like to thank the OP for putting the time in to develop this amazing build. My first character in PoE was a Marauder. I managed to get the character to 86, but my frustration was reaching fever pitch particularly in mid-high level maps (72-74). 2H builds, although not impossible, are very difficult to play in high level maps.

I intended to level a duelist after reading this guide, but, after messing around with the marauder skill tree, I managed to implement a variation of the build for my marauder. Here is the link:

I essentially followed the build although I tweaked some of the dps / health nodes. After getting to 87, I decided to test the strength of this build by soloing the Jungle Valley boss. I've played a bow Ranger, Zombie/Specter Summoner, and 2H Mace Marauder each of whom attempted to solo that boss. I didn't last more than 10 seconds before getting overwhelmed by spiders. With this new build, I had really no issues. It was amazing. Here are some observations:

1. I saw lots of discussion in the thread about Life on Hit or Life Leech gems vs. Added Fire in the BoR to accompany dual strike, multistrike, and melee splash. After running several low 70ish maps solo, a life leech gem is a must. I don't see any way around it as you want to focus your remaining gear on resists, life, and one piece for the all important mana leech.

2. Hatred and Purity are fine for auras. You don't need Grace. The main reason is your CoDT setup. I recommend 4-linking the Wings of Entropy and use CoDT, Enduring Cry, Immortal Call, and Increased Duration. With that setup, you will end up running Immortal Call 50-75% of the time, so additional armor is pointless. Leave CoDT at level 1. If you manage to 5L the Wings of Entropy, throw in a Cast on Melee Kill Gem for good measure. I guarantee you will always have Endurance Charges or Immortal Call active with Cast on Melee Kill.

3. Mana is not that big an issue assuming you make good gear choices, i.e. some gear must have a good chunk of mana . Dual Strike costs 66 mana, so aim for a mana pool after auras of around 200. I have had ZERO mana issues.

Here is the link to my gear.

Health is 4402, DPS is 19.5k, and mana is 227 after auras. Block is 74 for attacks and 73 for spell owing to the 24% Block Rainbow Strides. Yes, I've sunk every last penny into this toon with the help of selling a chanced Soul Taker, but this build is eminently doable with proper gear choices.

Once again, thanks for an amazing build!!

Cast on melee kill doesn't work like that. You need to have it linked with a melee skill as well as something you want cast when you kill something with that melee skill. It' not enough that you're killing mobs with A melee skill, that melee skill has to be supported by cast on melee kill, which would limit you to using a 4L or less.

Can you put your flasks in your main post? Also how does one deal with chaos damage or is not a problem once you get more life nodes? Currently 67 with 20k dps and 3k life
