1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

I'm a newbie to Marauder builds, so may I ask what makes Cleave or Sweep lacking end game, compared to GS?

They are much more dangerous. GS covers a huge area and throws in stuns. You remove a huge amount of incoming damage if you take a pack with GS compared to cleave/sweep.

Pretty much ^.

Later in the game you really don't want to be surrounded by enemies. Even with huge armour, hp and hp regen you'll end up dying pretty quickly so best to snipe mobs from a distance.

Hello! I'm playing your Marauder melee build (big thx for it!) and have 1 quesion:
why did you take "Increase weapon elemental damage" node in Templar section 3 times while saying "...since we do not use elemental damage"?
Isn't it better to get to "%increased max life" to the right through "increased armor" nodes or simply through strange nodes?

thanks

thanks

So do you guys think that the new multistrike gem will be better than any of the current supports we use? I'm wondering if swapping out melee physical damage or fire physical damage will up the dps or not. If I had a 5 or 6L I'd probably run all 3, though.

Thanks to the author for a great beginner's guide.

I am level 18 atm on my marauder, Very new to the game and very glad to see builds like this. I have been specing into these kind of mods and starting worrying I did it completely wrong and find out on the hardest difficulty lol,

Thank you very much for the guide

I'm lvl 44 on Hardcore. This build is really awesome. I love its playstyle and how it feels.
Keep up the good work, Ninja.

Thanks for this build! :D
