What pending nerf of Blood Magic? That would be terrible.

And ... you write Endurance Charges can stack up to 9 times. I wonder how. Even with the bandit reward in act 3 I can't see how to reach it.

You get 3 additional from passive tree plus 1 from bandits plus up to 2 (one per each) from this:


Good luck for the hunt! ;)

I just finished act 3 merciless solo and did a map. Level 67, 3200 hp, 270 life regen, 1500 ground slam dps, 2700 heavy strike dps, 80% resist all, 55% armor (with 7 endurance charges). Main thing I need to work on is more DPS and more armor wouldn't hurt.

Updated skill tree (I dropped most of the resist nodes as I didn't need them anymore):

i'm still low level but...really, you were able to drop the resist nodes? did your gear cover for it that much?

Gear covers resists extremely well since you almost never actually need all resists at the same time.

Your defense is your health regen, which you easly can increase to 200 health PER SECOND (500 is viable too, but it's way hard).
From what do maradeur gain such regenereation rate?

Later in the game as your gear improves you get a lot of resist from it. Also, with 7 endurance charges you get 35% resist all so I aim for about 45% from gear/passives which puts me at 80% as long as I can keep my charges up.

Thanks a lot, this is a very detailed and helpful guide!

Thank you very much for this guide. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
I'm pretty new to PoE and messed my 1st marauder up a bit so I started again with your guide. Hell, that's so much fun. At the Lunaris Temple at lvl 37 I almost sh*t my pants because I didn't uügrade my armor before I got there but I did it anyways thanks to a great build.

So far I am still a little scared of taking blood magic, so I heavily use potions to keep up my mana. On the other hand I work alone through the dungeons even with only gold rings and amulet and that really pays off =)

Once again, thanks a lot!

You sir, helped me so much thx a lot!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to say - this guide is A-MA-ZING. So useful to break into the Marauder first time, and get used things in a relatively safe fashion.

Thanks a ton - this is GREATLY appreciated!
