1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

I agree that we don't need iron reflexes anymore. Lots of %armor nodes are now paired wiht damage and life nodes which is awesome. And since graces is probably not going to be used anymore, no need for it IR.

@Hyppykuppa:
Just wait a bit dude, this skill rearrangement plus the Auras thing is a kind of a big deal, just wait a few days until the "experts" work it a bit ;)
I had 3-4 unassigned point at some points while i was trying to figure out what path to choose, you can do it too (unless you have a lot of Regret orbs, lol!)...

I am also considering the "no Auras" or maybe just Hatred scenario, but i see two issues:
Being really low on armor without Grace or Determination (my old lvl80 stats were 4.6K no Auras, around 7K+ with either Grace or Determination and 11K with both Grace+Determination).

And being low on Dex which we need for Faster Attacks, unless we can do without ofc (at least i am low in my build below).

Truth be said though, Evasion stats are mostly on the Duelist side, the dmg nodes all gained Armor stats (not Evasion)...

Plausible 102p "screw you Auras" build:

Will still stay out of game and into the forums until someone smarter than me figure it out i guess, lol :P

Some thoughts. My mind is blown.

5 Endurance Charges, 147% Armor, 216% Life

6 Endurance Charges, 210% Life, 87% Armor

5 Endurance Charges, 252% Life, 67% Armor

Hi uploader, is it possible if you can compile your thoughts and update the ORIGINAL post to version 1.0.0? (sorry i recognize this is a lot of work for you...but I am having a bit of trouble going through all the hundreds of posts on this thread talking about the changes to this build...)

Give Ninja a chance to sit down and work out which one is best, i used his build too on my main character, but im not asking him to hurry up and make the 1.0.0 change right now. This takes time.

made up a new build for this gslammer. should be pretty solid.
easy access to more armour, mana regen (mana flow) attack speed or res depending on what is preferred.

Can you also compare your + physical damage with maces or two handed weapons and attack speed? Those should also be taken into consideration.

Following build is mine, getting up some dex in a few dex+ nodes, but as i can see i've gone the wrong way on the bot and should spec top instead, i think... or i dont... well hopefully having enough regret points. by now i need the dex for my gear... as soon as i get an astramentis (stating this all the time ...) there might be a few more options.



Edit: This is what i plan for now, probably removing the dex nodes later on if possible and think of something else.

I was thinking of using something like this for my mara
