1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Generally, it's better to get life nodes first and go for more damage later.

Survivability > Damage
should i get blood magic node
or invest in 5-6l to use blood magic gem
and keep the mana for auras
and yeah as stropop said when do you recomend getting blood magic
(life regen %/sec)
nice guide btw

Sup boy whats ur level first of all
U use auras when you had reduced mana gems
5-6l should be ur main priority when u hit level 70ish ..and u get bloodmagic keystone when ur level 50 ish.
In Standard I played Facebreaker marauder to level 90. Solid character, could tear through maps with 5k life, 20k dps, 75% block (~25% spellblock), 80% resists, like 60% armor.

Going into Ambush I looked forward to the benefits of a 2Hand mace groundslam build. Played this build to level 75. Here's my gear:

I'm starting to play level 70 maps, and I'm getting my ass handed to me.

5.6k dps (groundslam)
32% armor....
5k life
77% resist
...... 0% block.....

Spell damage doesn't do much to me, but physical damage (especially crits) tears me up.

Additionally, 5-6k dps is not a lot.

So my question is, how can I improve my survivability and DPS? How much DPS does this build go up to? I quite miss my 20k facebreaker dps ;)

By the time you're 70, you should be doing over your maximum resistances (from your gear), so try and free some nodes up and put those points in damage. First you want to take Baptism by Light and three damage nodes next to it.

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBBS0OPBLhFCAUcRiRGekaOBpVHOcg8CcvLdIxnjIJNZI26DpSOtg64T38QKBE503YTeNQR1cNWGNYr1nzXz9gS2EhZKNnWGoeajtsRnJscql07XgNeu982YTviPGMdozPkFWRzp65ns2fPp_LouqkrKZXpzCnhKgYqW6sqrXyu-28n8AaxtjSId7B37_jn-St7DjvDvIv8kX2SPcy977-Cv6P

Then, you could go up, gain some armor and hp nodes if you still feel a bit squishy, like this.

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBBLMFLQ48EuEUIBRNFHEYkRnpGjgaVRznIPAnLy3SMZ4yCTWSNug6UjrYOuE9_ECgROdN2E3jUEdXDVhjWK9Z818_YEthIWSjZ1hqHmo7bEZybHKpdO14DXrvfNmBb4TviPGMdozPkFWRzp48nrmezZ8-n8uiAKLqpKymV6cwp4SoGKloqW6sqrXyu-28n8AaxtjSId7B37_jn-St7DjvDvIv8kX2SPcy977-Cv6P

Or go straight for damage and finish up your upper tree later. Like this.

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBBS0OPBLhFCAUcRT2GJEZ6Ro4GlUc5yDwJy8t0jGeMgk1kjboOlI62DrhPfxAoETnTdhN41BHVw1YY1ivWfNfP2BLYSFko2dYah5qO2vZbEZybHKpdO14DXrvfNmE74Y7iPGMdozPkFWRzp65ns2fPp_LouqkrKZXpzCnhKgYqW6sqrXyu-28n8AawQTG2NIh3sHfv-Of5K3sOO8O8i_yRfZI9zL3vv4K_o8=

Hope this helps.


I hope some people find this re-post helpful. :D

Looks like its gonna be difficult with having one of your gem slots used up with blood magic.

Im using the passive blood magic, and run a faster attacks gem where you have blood magic. My dps is sitting at 8800. Ive got about 4k life, 77 resists, and 7100 armor. I seem to have no problems running 70 maps. The only real problems I encounter are the groundslam exile and the witch exile that rains fire down on you from overtop walls in other rooms.

other than that, i would say use decoy totem. mine is at level 17 and it works wonders for mitigating damage and grouping enemies so you can focus fire.

You could also grab the enemy crit reduction passive that is next to the diamond skin near the starting area.

I referenced 'carousel's' passive tree breakdown here in my thread
Spoiler
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/854772
along with other recent passive trees from this thread. My Marauder is a boring Solo self-found melee STR red gems only build.
~<Ratsneve>~~<Looking for Simple Solo Solutions>~
Just how good is kaoms heart. Currently I have 5 link chest. 80 life and try resist all over 25 one being chaos. I was debating on saving up for kaoms but is that worth it or would a 6 link with similar stats be better?
beeen doing maps. im currently lvl 83 i kinda thought id try working on some 75 maps. they go ok if i take my time and if im careful with what i get on my map. but i did run into a bunch of deaths yesterday.

wondering if i could do any easy changes to my gear and what talents people pick up later in the game.

here is my gear




flasks


heavy strike dps 14k
ground slam dps 7317
resistances im over capped on all three
chaos is -12
armor 3173
life 4889


i am using also like y BM pasiv and dont have life leech gem suport and dont have problem playing but i dont use and i dont think that marohi is 2H mace for this build, it is just to slow, maybe y can found some 2H mace with same DPS but with better atack speed and try than.
