1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Thanks for the build!

Followed it for the 1 week turbo race. Made it to level 74 (top 50 overall, top 10 Marauder) when I died in a wharf map to a LMP voidbear :D

BM keystone, so arctic armour wasn't possible, right?

Would anyone knowledgable with this guide be able to recommend any level 40-50 ish armors? All my slots except my weapon are really lacking. I have suddenly started dieing more often when I reached the middle of act 2 cruel. I know its child's play compared to
Merciless, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong or my play style may be to blame, I'm always trying to facetank and run all the zones aggressively as possible. Clearly I'm not quite tanky enough to do this yet lol

Keep in mind it's my first character, first week on PoE. In terms of RNG, I've ha a very rough time with drops. I try to check vendors for the highest HP resist red links but it's very sparse.

1. Are your resists maxed?
2. Are you using Endurance Charges?

75 / 75 / 66 lightning / -20 chaos (still looking for any chaos resist)

I have pretty much forgotten about Endurance Charges ever since I discovered Warlord's Mark, I've put Enduring Cry back in and I'm kicking ass again thanks :)

This Build still working in this version??

This build working without problems in End game?

This build say "Only Strenght Gems", But Faster Attacks and Grace is a Dex Gems, How I will use this gems?

Yes

Yes, but he's a bit slower

Getting from equipment/random +30dex nodes. If getting enough dex on your gear is too hard I do not suggest playing 'harder' build.

Well thats a nice guide! I pretty much use the same build.

I would like to know how you survive against phys reflect in maps?
I am killing myself almost instantly even with 7 EC on :/
I have a 5L Marohi with Groundslam + Meele Dmg + FA + Multistrike + Add Fire/Life Leech (depends on map) and 8k+ Armor using Grace (with Determination from party members 12k+)


I am thinking to lvl up a Lightning Strike for Physical Reflect maps.
What's your opinion for it?

EDIT: I didn't actually like Lightning Strike to be honest.

I tried and i can say it worked to use a lvl-1 groundslam
I used Lvl-1 Groundslam + Weapon Elem. Dmg + FA + Multistrike + Add Fire Dmg (on 5L)

I survived on many Phys Reflect maps like this.

I recommended your build to a friend who is 1st timing PoE and so far he likes it a lot.
I'm roughly translating it as his questions arise since he isn't quite comfortable with english, but his commentary after 40+ levels was "Everything comes in at the right time".

Therefore, I'm thanking you on his behalf.

I'm also interested in your thoughts on lightning strike as a main source of damage.

Good build is good
