1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD
Can you get a heavy strike gem from quests or is it only a random drop?

Heavy strike is the first gem you get from the game right at the start from the guy with the "!" above his head iirc.

Currently close to beating Act 2 normal mode with this build, and I love it. The HP regen is amazing, and the damage is surprisingly high.
10/10, would build again |

This would require a lot of theorycrafing and calculations. I DON'T know if my understanding of Added fire damage is correct and I can be wrong about efficiency and more relation. Albo other things, for which i don't feel responsible. All in all, as for tests (tested only heavy strike, sorry) i acheived similar influence of lava lash
Spoiler
Let assume we have: 300% increased melee physical damage 40% more damage via Melee Physical Damage 25% efficiency for Infernal Blow 30% added fire damage We have base weapon damage X. Half of this goes to physical damage part, which is increased by 'increase' mods, 'more' mods and at the end by 'added fire damage mod'. I hope it works in such way. As far as i remember more and efficiency works additively, and added fire adds to WHOLE damage X/2*(1+increase)*(1+more+efficiency)=3.3X plus added fire part X/2*(1+increase+lava_lash)*(1+more+efficiency)*fire=1.064X I guess i works in such way. Needs tests/confirmation of course. TOTAL OF 4.364X And the second half goes into fire damage. Converted damage is also affected by increased physical damage X/2*(1+increase+lava_lash)*(1+more+efficiency)=3.547 plus added fire part X/2*(1+increase+lava_lash)*(1+more+efficiency)*fire=1.064X TOTAL OF 4.611X AND TOTAL OF TOTAL OF 8.975X For Heavy strike it is X*(1+increase)*(1+more+efficiency)=7.6X plus added fire part X*(1+increase+lava_lash)*(1+more+efficiency)*fire=2.451X TOTAL OF 11.426X Heavy strike wins by 27.3% Whats more fun: total damage of heavy strike without lava lash is 11.255X, so lava lash adds 1.5% http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/73928 <-- [Newbie Friendly] Marauder Melee Build

great job

Currently level 47 in act 3 cruel.
The tankyness is great, although my damage is rather lacking atm (though this can also be attributed to my poor gear). Groundslam can be a little awkward to use at times due it it's small cone cast, but overall the build has been great.
