1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Hi there!

I stopped playing months ago and now I wanna start playing again.
All I wanted to know if this build would work on Hardcore League until final of the game and if I can use Temporal Chains and Warlord's Mark instead of Totem and another ability, I used to play with this 2 curses and I loved it!

Thanks! :)

Dead again lvl 45 almost 46, played self found with shitty gear & got 2 shot by the guy in chamber of sins even with max lightning resist.

I'd still try this build again after release & updates. :)

Gonna give this build a go on my next character, thanks alot for the guide, very indepth and explanatory!

Very nice Build, using it, with minor changes of my own =3

Anyone know if this build will be updated for the new release? Also, I am using multistrike over faster attacks and i find multistrike to better is every way. Any thoughts on that?

You are awesome! Do you have any thoughts on multistrike vs faster attacks?

Nvm, I see that you have posted about it already. You say that multistrike doubles attack speed but cuts damage in half, but as you level up multistrike the damage reduction goes down, making it far superior to faster attacks. Thoughts?

Multistrike is incheckable in simple tooltip-dps way. It's more like supporting Lighning Arrow with Chain, which halves tooltip dps, but in fact triples it.

About multistrike it is hard to tell, because it is very dependant on each individual case.

Best way to verify if multistrike is better is just to run with and without it.
If you notice significant raise of clear speed, go for it. If you can't see difference, or your clear speed is worse It is better to switch it off.

I.E. You can run measure time of docks run with and without multistrike.

PS: It may be better to run Life Gain on Hit with Multistrike instead Life Leech
