1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

ok, so this is my build so far:



and I have this current equipment:



Am I on the right track or does it need a major overhaul? So far a can take damage like it's nothing. Even solo'ed mervil and killed her on my first try with this build, all be it with like 5-6 less points and no resolute technique.

Looks fine to me for your level, very similar to what I have although we both are likely stacking too much strength.



(Don't mind my gems, I upgraded a few items just before I logged last night and didn't optimize their placements yet)

you think flicker strike would be a good addition to my build? Been weighing how I could use it as it seems like a good way to get into the middle of a large group and bring the pain.

(I can easily get the required dex to use it)

Try it, see what happens.

I love leap slam personally, plus it's an aoe.

Edit: BTW, I was commenting on your gear, didn't realize your skill tree was different from what this chain is all about. Why the point in intelligence?

can someone please give me advice on my post before i put this skill point ?

need help, cause im not so good at min-maxing and calculating percentages.

i use this weapon ;

now, for next 3 skill points, im in dillema between going for "reckless abandon" nodes next to "berserking" which give me +18%phys damage, 4% atack speed and 15 stun duration or to take 3 "catalyze - weapon elemental dmg" nodes which give me +50% elemental weapon damage.
im leaning to elemental nodes, but need confirmation.
thank you :)

also, is it worth respecing out of 34 % health node tree to get to iron reflexes if i am level 68 and will need to level grace aura from lvl 1.

im thinking about iron reflex too but im not sure... help me :/

how does the carnage heart fairs with this build?

I works really well imo. The life leech, all stats and all resists really outweigh the health penalty. For example a major life leech node only gives you 2% life leech, and theres only one of those, whereas you can get the 25% life lost with only like 3 life nodes.

Needed it for an awesome rare chain mail that I got early in the game.
