For the duelist part, consider going through the Executioner cluster for Master of the Arena. It wastes a lot fewer points. I'd also suggest getting Amplify by the templar, because the range increase for aoe skills is significant.

Yeah he revised my version of build to a total worse variation indeed :D

hello there,i have some questions:is anger worth taking?at lvl 20 it gives 49-81 dmg, that s not too much and about grace, i ve read that it s important but can a marauder have 153 dexterity to lvl it up to 20?or at least to get 1k armour?same questions go for the vulnerability skill(140 int is a lot)

Hi,
you'll only want Grace if you have taken the Iron Reflexes keystone, because it gives you ~1000 free Armor (excluding passives). When you take Iron Reflexes, you'll sit on 74 Dex from passives. If you grab the livenodes above IR, you'll sit on 104 Dex. On Items, Dex can roll up to 50, so you get exactly 1 more Dex than you needed. Alternatively, there are two +20 Dex Nodes right on your Grid if you can't get the Dex on Items.

You could also grab an Astramentis, which solves all you attribute problems and allows you to fully level your Vulnerability.

Personally, I'm not a Fan of Astramentis because you can get much more useful Stats on Amulets and beeing dependant on one unique isn't a good idea. Just use Vulnerability on lvl 1 and call it good, or use Enfeeble (lvl 1)/Warlods Mark which I deem more useful in later Game.

This build takes WAY too many damage nodes. Your damage should be coming mostly from gear. Save those passive points for life/armor nodes. I'm at 76 with decent gear and still getting my ass kicked in low level maps. I would also be wary of any melee Marauder build that doesn't take Iron Reflexes. I would highly recommend the Ground Slam Marauder build at ExilePro over this if you're looking for a character that's viable in the endgame.

3. Grace - Dexternity Based. Quest Reward. A MUST if you use Iron Reflexes. Well... We USE Iron Reflexes because of Grace, bacause it's like ~1k Grace's evasion is added to our armor for free.

i don t see anywhere in the skill tree iron reflexes taken.wtf?

I really cant agree with you on that, im taking mainly damage nodes and only having a hard time in 71+ Maps. Considering my gear is only so so..

I see there is a lot of misunderstanding about Grace and Iron Reflexes.

What I meant: In basic build don't take Grace nor Iron Reflexes.
But if you will experniced enough to maintain dexternity, you can alternate build to get Iron Reflexes and then run Grace for extra armor.

Informations about Grace in additional gems sections are kinda outdated. But as I am working on general update I don't feel like correcting it right now.

----------------------------

For maps, there are many things you can do with just respeccing Blood Magic. Maybe it see illogical, but with proper equipment it is very rewarding.

This feature is main reason I am doing update.

Hi
got my hand on 2% mana leech gloves,
so i decided to try to play with Auras.

I wanted to run the following:
Determination, purity, hatred + reduced mana (lvl 16)

But i just got 70mp left, which was impossible to play (mana leech got a recharge delay aswell)
So i just play with purity and determination currently.
That way i got 150mana left, which is atleast enough for ground slam, heavy strike, endurance cry.

Decoty totem (which i really love) and warlords mark, are kinda expensive.
Even spamming ground slam is sometimes hard due to my lagg problems ingame (Mob is in range but the hit doesn't land due to lagg positioning bug)

So i rly wonder how u guys are running 3auras?
maybe some advice would be awesome.

Here my current skill tree :


And my current gear:


thanks

Edit: my skills running with 0.41 attack speed, which probably also isn't the best for aura mana leech (more mana spamming)

Running blood magic with attacks, curses and the like is a fairly common method of dealing with it.

well got no slot for that on my main attacks...with curses / totem u are right that might be a quick fix.

Thanks for the input
