Marauder - 1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD - Forum

could this build go well is we put enfeeble, temporal chains and vulnerability with a spell totem support gem?	Posted by Alustor#4020 on Mar 28, 2013, 6:14:32 AM Quote this Post

Monsters can have up to one curse at the time, unless you put a point in a passive that let's you cast 2 curses	Posted by wiceqq#7290 on Mar 28, 2013, 7:14:08 AM Banned Quote this Post

Life leach/ gain per hit doesn't only nullify the effect of BM but it will heal you a great deal. For example my groundslam costs ~30 hp/hit. I get ~70 hp/sec without EC buffs, get ~30 hp/hit/mob from gem and have 5% life leach from gear and passives (which means another ~120 hp). As far as I understand BM is more of a midgame skill. It makes (at least for me it made) a huge difference when you become able to spam skills nonstop. It's a big improvement after mana management troubles. I have seen some marauders going with Warlord and mana but it looked problematic at best and I'm a lazy guy. In late game when people can afford better gear lots of marauder spec out of BM to be able to use auras. But that rarely happens before mid 60s and until then BM makes life so much easier.

Thanks mate, all good stuff to know :) Just specced into BM now and already liking it due to the fact that I don't have to worry about mana management. I'll hit you up about auras in 30 levels haha :D	Posted by FknPitsy#6283 on Mar 28, 2013, 10:45:25 AM Quote this Post

I feel like I am doing something really wrong! I feel like I have high mid-tier gear (including a 6L mace!) but I just don't deal that much damage! Right now I deal about 4k with HS and only 2k with GS. I've got 4.1k HP and max resist when I put on some different jewelry. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get better?

You're doing the same damage as I did before I upgraded to a higher damage weapon. I don't know what item level your 6L is, but you'd do 1500 more dps(heavy strike) if the damage % was 140%+. It sure would be a shame to spend 20 or so chaos orbs on it and not get a better damage weapon though... Increased area of effect must be nice with ground slam, probably covers most of the screen. Anyone else have any thoughts? Lies! I got GCP every time I kill a mob with my mouth in JUST the right position! So now I just have to make sure I can make it to that position before the mob is dead each time. :-P ~CrystalisQualinthi Last edited by Tychoblu#0219 on Mar 28, 2013, 6:02:02 PM	Posted by Tychoblu#0219 on Mar 28, 2013, 6:01:34 PM Quote this Post

Anyone else have any thoughts? Yeah the increased effect is pretty amazing. item level is only 60 (found it in Fell Shrine) and I actually did just drop 20 chaos on it and got it from 276 max damage before and its the 268 now! So lame!	Posted by pom134#2746 on Mar 28, 2013, 6:22:50 PM Quote this Post
