Marauder - 1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD - Forum

" buffstacker wrote: This is a cheap build to start with and viable until just before Dominus on Merciless, but I think to get enough DPS for late game (Dominus and maps), you'll have to get decked out in quality gems and 5L+ gears. I'm at lvl 76 right now and have taken all of the damage nodes in the build. My DPS is still way too low (DPS: 9.5k heavy strike, 4.7k ground slam). I'm typically doing the less dmg in a group of people of similar levels. I'm not complaining, btw. Just stating that this is a cheap build for most of the game, but not cheap in late game when you need some DPS. Also, my gears right now: Total cost is about 16 chaos If you want higher dps do what Peterlerock recommended. If you still want higher replace your rings with ones that have high flat physical damage like 8-15 damage each. Also purchase an abyssus unique helm for a few chaos. That will make your damage skyrocket. " MushaConvoy wrote: Multistrike practically doubles the resource requirement, for me (GS + Multi + Phys + Fire) it costs 45 life per slam. If you use the Blood Magic support gem instead of the Blood Magic passive, it will double the requirement again. I'm not sure my life recovery would handle that kind of expenditure at my current level anyway... Just something to think about. 45 life is so low is not a problem at all. I used to only have 2% life leech from the passive and was doing just fine. I have another build where i run dominating blow on bloodmagic. 450 life each swing. No problems. Even in half regen situations. Last edited by kompaniet#2874 on Aug 14, 2014, 3:41:09 PM	Posted by kompaniet#2874 on Aug 14, 2014, 3:36:27 PM Quote this Post

Oh no, no Blood Magic! 1. two auras + BM gem are way better than the BM keystone, more DpS and survivability 2. if you want BM, you can find it in the skilltree for yourself 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519 Last edited by Peterlerock#5171 on Aug 16, 2014, 1:34:44 AM	Posted by Peterlerock#5171 on Aug 16, 2014, 1:34:22 AM Quote this Post
Thank you for the guide, but I would like for some last pointers for my marauder. Please let me know what items that I might be able to upgrade.

Yeah,that might not be the best thing to do since auras are getting nerfs to scaling and now you have to use precious skillpoints on aura nodes to make them good.
