1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Where to farm for levels/gear at level 52? Having a hard time progressing.

Edit: Nevermind just farmed the ledge like normal, was hoping there was a better place.

What happened to the build for iron reflexes? I was following it and now it's gone? :(

Sigh, I will have to reset two points, to save one.

Nevermind.

But I have question about Reckless Abandon. 3 points for 18% dmg and 4% att spd. It`s a good deal? Won`t be better if I put this points in Diamond Skin (btw. 2x Diamond Skin will stack?).

BUILD

1. Link build
2. I don't understand question

To ArabNinja,
Link is here: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAnEEswUtDjwPzBLhFCAUTRRxGS4aOBznIPAn1SftKLUt0jIJOlI62DwFQKBBP0TnUEdQUFHmVElWBFcNWGNZ818_YEtgiGFSah5qO3KpdO1673uMfLt82YM4hmCMz5BVkc6cJ57Nnz6fy5_foJ2iAKLqpmSnMKeEqBipaKyqtC-53bvtwBrEWMWKxtjJmNIh2WHewd-_5K3nUuw47hTvDu9O73zwH_Iv8932SPe-

What I mean is, if I would put elemental resist nods as it is shown here in linked build, wouldn't I go "over" the 75% elemental resist cap with this kind of deccision at higher levels when I would have elemental resists on armour?
Point is I'm afraid I would use more passive skill points then I would need to, to max out my elemental resistance.

Do life leech + life on hit support gems stack? You could put them both into heavy strike, and with the right gear, straight up tank and spank most bosses/single target mobs. I was thinking of doing that instead of added damage for bosses, at least until I get a 5L or 6L chest and can do both.

Also i'm not entirely sure I understand the life life/life on hit conversion chart.

Good build! This build made me go from making a summoner witch on softcore to this build on hardcore. Not a HUGE hardcore guy, but I figure what the hell... I'll give it a try. If/once my guy dies, then I'll just continue on softcore.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, level 30 and so far this build is working great!

1) is Melee Damage on Full Life gem the same as Melee physical dmg gem you mentioned in your guide?

2) when i use the Jeweller's Orb to reforge # of sockets, does that also reforge # of links?

edit:
i like my 1h mace w/+95% damage but has 2 unlinked sockets (red + blue).
if i use Jeweller's Orb, what heppens?

yes, you need to use the gem that changes the color of the sockets, maybe chromatic? cant remmeber

by the end of act 1, i dont think anyone can be considered a newbie :)

what would the skill psth be if you decide to go for the Blood magic support gem?

The skill paths will be the exact same. You don't save any points by cutting directly to the duelist's health nodes. Just unspec Blood Magic and you're good.

For those thinking about getting more resists, I would suggest the single 6% resistance node opposite of Elemental Adaptation, or the 18% resistance cluster near all those health nodes in the middle. Neither are out of the way, so you can grab them while you are filling out other parts of the tree without wasting points reaching into areas just for elemental resists.
