So, there we go:

Sure it uses a little too much points, but you are going to see all important nodes.

This is assuming that auras are out of the question.

Nie mogę się doczekać na nowy build Arabskiego Nindzy :) Bracie rodak na Ciebie liczy :D

Did the respec for my lvl 76 GS-Marauder and ended up with +1k more life, +1k armor, +1k Heavystrike dps and +600 dps for Groundslam as far as i remember it all. On top of this i have now Leather and Steel which gives me better mobility and +12% chaos resist.

Changes to auras: Hatred+Grace instead of Hatred+Grace+Determination.
I could use 3 auras later with 21% red. Mana Reservation from PST and 8% from Alphas Howl (if i had one).

PST with option to get many more life, damage, armor aura buff or reduced mana reservation nodes later on:


My Review of 1.0 so far: huge buff for Melee Marauders

may i know whats the Mortal Conviction for? why need mana reserve while we use HP not mana anymore? thanks :D

Why would anyone want take the bloodmagic keystone when you can have 2-3 powerful auras and spam your skills with mana leach from items and maybe a totem and curse with the bloodmagic gem?!

cauze the mana leech in item is gear depended.and im geared up myself well yesterday. now im get fcked. and no one wana waste a slot for bloodmagic :D
but with this new aura buffs maybe the mana+aura gona be better.

Why the hell did Determination get the short end of the stick??? 60% but no buff :/

The thing about Auras is that personally i used a close-to-first-page build up until lvl70 or so using the BM node (only running Grace of life), then i switched back to mana because it looked like that was the only way to boost your dmg/armor/res keeping in mind that not more skill points ware coming (i don't plan reaching lvl100). It was the norm, everyone at that lvl was switching back to mana + ton of Auras to be able to play high-lvl maps.

Now what? BM node (with the -30% behind it) and the flat 60% Auras cost changed that back to old "BM node and 1 or 2max Auras" ?

If Determination was also buffed, then great: I could take BM node and run only that, screw Int (no Hatred) and assuming you use Maces, screw Dex also (no Grace, Faster Attacks need only ~110 max).
But if you chose one Aura only, what will it be (Determination is only nerfed so not an option)? If Grace, then you must also take Iron Reflexes or to put it better, if you don't run Grace then you don't need IR (except for using Evasion-stat gear maybe), so you "save" the node-trip there.
Hatred?
Purity (worst one if you only had to choose one in-my-noob-opinion)?
Screw armor/evasion Auras and just go for the most life nodes you can?

My 102p plausible Mana build for using Hatred+Grace (still only 1-2h of work though, and still a noob):

Hello. I'm back home.
I have to say, I am very suprised. It's only few hours after patch and thread is under siege. I'm very happy to see that.

Some my thoughts about build:
1. I will surely go Blood Magic and no aura. Blood Magic + one aura, or Blood Magic Gem + Auras on mana are defenetly NOT newbie friendly. It also requires some testing. I would love your feedback!

2. General idea of the build will still be:
-- dozens of life
-- a bit of armour
-- and few dps nodes

3. I will take Unwavering Stance, but not Iron Reflexes (or maybe I will. We will see). Immune to stun is a MUST with melee char.

4. No Vaal Pact. The same reasons as before.

Ja też!

My firt PoE toon (witch) kinda failed miserably to survive and kill things by the beginning of act 3 normal. Started a new char and used build in this thread instead. Worked fine so far (lvl 37) but now i'm kinda confused in which way to go. I only play for max couple hours a night after work, so i'm not very keen on starting all over again if i spec wrong... Guess i'll wait a while until people gets stuff tested/figured out a bit more before choosing.

Hopefully the OP will make a new noob frienly build with the 1.0 stuff instead of these specs that require you to regear and regem everything...

Also a noob question: in case i want to build my new spec without blood magic and with auras instead, where will i get those said auras? Haven't seen much of them yet, except one that my witch got from a quest reward (i think). Same as the spell totem every spec seems to be utilizing...
