I just entered Act 1 Merciless, and boy was hailrake a rude awakening I need to find better gear and farm somewhere can anyone recommend a place I'm level 52. plus i play in a group with my friend hes a bow shadow and im using this build. so everything hits harder, solo play its a bit different and easier. plus im a new player and i dont have access to gear from mains.

* Tidal Island is lvl 58 area, +6 lvl map is not for the undergeared melee character.
* In party mobs do not hit harder, only extra hp for them.
* As was already suggested, The Ledge will be your home for some time.
Can u guys rate my gear and tell me if im doing this right? i seem to lack survivability, i do alot of damage but i can still get rickrolled if im not paying attention.

I assume that you are around level 35 (because of your gems). If that is true:

Your weapon is pretty good.
Your helm is OK. It has +35 life and +damage%.
Your amulet is a complete waste. It would be OK for a ranger or something, but for you it's crap. No +life and no +resists. Change it.
Your armor is decent because of the +67 life.
Your first ring is crap. No +life.
Your second ring is little better, with only +10 life.
Your boots are crap. No +life. I can understand if you keep them because of the 3 link red sockets, but the mods on the item suck.
Your belt is crap. It has base +life but all mods suck for you.
Your gloves are half-decent. +21 life is not much but not the worst either.
thanks for the advice, ill work on changing them out.

ahhh I didnt notice that tidal island was that high of a level no wonder it was so hard lol, but oh well i killed him. I'm level 56 now having some trouble trying to find some upgrades. . . I'm thinking that I should drop some of my dps and gain some more survivability.

like exchanging out some items for more +hp / regen items, along with more + resi rings/jewerly. but most of my gear is the yellow. so its kind of hard to decide what blue mod armor would be beneficial. I dont want to gimp myself more than i am already lol : (
Just posting here to show off and say that I love my marauder very, very much.

Lvl 73 at this point, doing 4.2k tooltip DPS Ground Slam and 9.2k tooltip DPS Heavy Strike.

3k life and 8 max endurance charges (9 if I use two Kaom's but I'm holding off till I get more +life on my gear first).

With full charges I have 80% All Resist and 60% Damage Reduction and ~220 passive life regen per second.

Absolute beast mode. Can destroy high level (69+) maps without trouble.

(Although Chaos dmg dealing mobs can be dangerous. I've been using a granite and an amethyst flask to help with this.


It will only get crazier from here as I lvl up and upgrade my gear and get some chaos resist.

Speaking of gear, here it is:

Spoiler


Most of it isn't really very great tbh, which is why this build is so amazing... really all you need is some +life and +resists and decent links and you've got a solid base.

Everything else is icing on the cake. Which is why I'm excited to continue to upgrade the crap out of my gear.

I will admit my piledriver is fucking amazing. :P

Anyhow, 2H MACE MARAUDERS UNITE!

dang lol, hopefully by the time im your level my gear will be somethin like that lol. I see a lot of marauders using molten shell so i figure it is pretty good so ima try it out as well.

Did you trade for any of it or is it all self found ? : )

I would like to just find all my gear but I'm starting to believe this game has the rng of diablo 3 lol but oh well trade is a lot easier i believe if you got the currency to do so.

If i were you i would invest 3points into Steel Skin +50% armor is such a HUGE boost if you run grace with IR as i see you do in your build, it add % from the aura too
