1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Thanks, love the guide, easy to follow. Facetanked Merveil at level 16 with gear I picked up along the way.
Lies! I got GCP every time I kill a mob with my mouth in JUST the right position! So now I just have to make sure I can make it to that position before the mob is dead each time. :-P

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.


i save 2 points. blood magic and the str node before blood magic, assuming i dont take Smashing Blows and take the path above smashing blows to get to duelist tree to get golems blood.

now the question is do you reach the blood magic gem quest first? or do u reach blood magic node first if you make a beeline for it from resolute tech and delay skull cracking, blood drinker, etc?


thank you for the 6% resistance node suggestion!!
hm.. wonder why there isnt a cold resistance node in that node ring? it has lightning and fire.

...Note. DON'T create 111 POINTS build, because it is INACHIEVEABLE!!!...


You can easily get 111 points now in open beta... only a week in and people are already at level 84 which is 104 points.
I am lvl62 in act2 my dps with heavy strike is 2450. SHhit dies so slow now :( Survival is ok, but dat dmg :( Anyone around this lvl whats your HS dps ?
The spreadsheet trying to explain when its better for Life on Hit or Life Leech makes little to no sense to me.

Can we make this alittle simpler? Are we trying to say Life Leech is good when ur aoeing shit, and Life on Hit for single target? I really dont understand what the spreadsheat is supposed to convey.

Average physical damage * Life Leech gem percent. If that number is higher than life on hit gem for you, switch to life leech. That's really all there is to it.
Thanks! Nice guide :)
