I am wondering if I should try to get it 5l and get faster attacks in it.

Also, should I keep my 6 socket chest, at least get to 5 links, and chaos it for more life/resists?

Last, I have gotten three white lvl 66 maps. How much dps will I need to be able to solo white maps?

Any advice is most appreciated!

Hello, im pretty newbie here, i saw some thing on your build tree, you've got some nodes on one handed mace and some on two handed weap..isnt that a waste?
Nvm i mostly replied so i can find a solution about blood magic, i like using it, i like spammig everything w/o caring but now i need auras and i cant use them with blood magic bcs auras will reserve 60% of my hp and even if i get back those pts that are on blood magic, how am i gonna hold my self with mp reg since i got nothing on mp regen ? help plz. :/

PS: Why you dont you Lava Lash it gives 30% fire dmg on weapons and its next to Blood drinker..

The only reason to take one handed one's is because their other bonus is worth a point (eg 6% life).

You don't need auras until late, where you do re-spec and use blood magic gems, at which point you should be able to figure it out yourself whether it's worth it.

Lava lash is only worth it if you have level 20 gems (because it gives 6% bonus dps at level 1 and 12% at level 20), and even then there's no short# of skill points you can take.

Since there is talk about DPS lately, i would just like to mention something about DPS that people should keep in mind:
More dmg @low AS is better than less dmg @high AS for the same DPS rating.

That is because Armor mitigation, a big amount of dmg in one hit will bypass more Armor and take out more life than 2-3 less dmg hits in the same time.
That is why people are still arguing about the benefits of the Multistrike gem...

From personal experience, in a lvl71 map me and one Shadow took down a pack of blue monsters on our own (monsters had lots of HP because it was a full 6 members party). When the Shadow was furiously Dual-Striking a monster at an insane AS, it's life dropped steady but slowly. Me using HS would take big chunks of life out in every hit, and took out a single monster faster than the Shadow could.
Out of curiosity i asked him about his weapon/DPS and he was using two ~1.80 AS weapons, but we both did the same DPS (around 13K).
Just looted a 517 phys dps 2H Axe. Do you think i can find a similar 2H mace, or its better to replace the mace passive points with Axe ones?
Thank you in advance :)

Looted Axe and my current 2H mace are in the spoiler

Well if you roll Axe you would no longer be able to Ground Slam.

i agree. this is something to keep in mind when purchasing a marohi erqi for end game. it has slower attack speed but will make up for it for reasons above.

i like how they have found a way to make slower weapons just as useful as faster ones. in most other games like this a faster weapon is always better.
but not poe :)

That is actually a nice AS plus double phys dmg % roll Axe:
One "Local Physical Dmg +%" mod that goes up to 169max, plus the hybrid "Local Physical Dmg +% / Local Accuracy Rating" mod goes up to 80max phys dmg and 135 Acc.
If it also had a high roll "Added Physical Damage" mod it would be quite valuable...

However you can't just re-roll an entire character because you found one "nice" piece of gear... It doesn't make any sense, imo at least.
Mayyyyybe you could consider it if you have found an uber-weapon (like a >10ex worth GG weapon) but again i would advice against it.
You could store it if you think you can use it on another char, else i would just sell it.

Just my personal non-expert opinion :)

I would say that you would need to give them more information than just your build.

You would need to show them your gear and the gems in your gear for them to say whether or not those stats are okay for a level 47 Marauder. Further, is that dps for Heavy Strike, Leap Slam or Ground Slam? Are you using a different attack other than one of those three?

This information is not good enough for me and I am not the best person to help answer your questions. Those that are way better at this game than me will definitely need more information to be in a better position to help you.
