1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Base Ground Slam radius is 40 if i remember correctly.
Clave and Sweep is half of it, so 20.

It's like per node:
1.9% increased damage
1% attack speed
5.6% armor
1.3% life
0.07% life regen
and additionally movement penantly and 2 range

I wouldn't take such node. But it's only me.

Also I don't know if Master of Area works with Ground Slam. Basing on what's written: it is.

Well yeah, overall its your topic anyway, just sharin my experience, at 80+ there isnt anything better for me to pick when i got both steel skin etc, im softcore marauder, dont need all the hp available, i will never go up above templar for the HP nodes etc. love the speed and ninja style, i use EC rarely.

What i noticed is really helpfull, +100% armor bonus on all Hp flask and on granite flask too :) hf gl all.

PS:also the Lava Lash talent is nice DPS boost , for 1 point +30% fire damage from weapons, considering we got +fire damage gem in both attacks its great dps :)

Afaik a dev stated that the increased range only works for skills that use the default melee range (which is 4). Skills that use different ranges aren't affected by it (I'll see if I can find the source again ;))

Personally I'd rather get the templar nodes and/or the ones near Iron Reflexes and not the duelist stuff but that's just me.

Nice build but very low p. def, died on 59 (got 1 shot from mini boss)

@hugorx
Im also sharing my opinion, because after reaching certain level you probably know whats best for your own playstyle.
If you like ninja-style so much you can try out flicker strike build, because 7 hits per second are just fun.

@PKiller
Yes, we have only 35% fixed reduced physical damage. Additionally something youve got from armor... wait, no. Because it is high phys critter who killed you, so whole armor is probably pierced.
For those best solution is high life pool, which we have in addition to 35% reduction. I cant imagine better protection (despite of course 20k armor)

Overall i must say my leap slam marauder (planing ground slam only in hard maps) is most easy char ive played yet, i have 70LS Templar, 70LA Ranger, 60EK Witch, at lvl 63 i was in ac3merciless clearing all zones only boss left now, chilling lvling in docks/battlefront/templet - I must say most easy char to play and fastest one to level, i just destroy all in second.

I started maraduer thx to this guide, so thx alot :) and gl to others.

Yes, it does. Although Sweep sucks - it looks good only early on, but then...

@nova
I know Master of Area is cool and mainstream, but it does not worth it, especially (as they say) it does not work with ground slam/leap slam etc.
There are better ways to get armor or life

Ok can u show me a skilltree with your imrovements?
