1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD
" You don't "spam spells" with this build! :) You just bash hordes of enemies with ground slam into dust or smash some skulls with heavy strike! Both are skill attacks, NO spells! With "faster attacks" you can use both skills faster,thus increase your DPS, thus kill enemies faster, thus get experience faster, thus get equipment faster,... |

Anyone skipping Unwavering Stance? I'm getting stun locked by white mobs that charge. Not taking beserking might have something to do with this too, if mobs attack me before I attack them I get interrupted.
I have enough saved up points and refund points to fix this. The question is should I waste them respecing? https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAecFLRQgGS4aVSDwJ9Un7TboOlJE51BHUFBUSVcNWGNfP2BLYSFko2oeajtyqXTteu982YTvjM-ezacwqBisqrndxFjG2NIh2WHfv-dS7w7yL_ZI974= TYIA 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

Life leech + Life gain on hit + Increased Area of effect + Faster attack is better than added fire+meele physical damange+ faster attack +life leech is.
I need this all in one weapon? Or it doesnt matter when i put these gems? |
|
" IMHO, unwavering stance is a must-have... and Berserking, too. |
|
" LoL, NO, I agreed that the other guy was wrong. :) "added fire damage + meele physical damange + faster attack + life leech + SKILL" is what you want! Support gems have to be linked with your skill gem! All of them! Check this! But til you get a weapong and/or chest-armor with 5 or 6 links you will hit late game for sure, so just continue to play and you get the point of how the game mechanics work better than by studying forums only. ;) Last edited by Gix_Phyrex#3857 on Feb 6, 2013, 7:16:12 PM

Awesome guide! I've been following it and I'm currently lvl56 in A2 Merciless. I haven't joined a party once, and haven't had to zerg any bosses. Also, you don't need any high end gear for this, I've been using what I've picked up along the way, no crafting apart from quality. The only times I've died was against the fire spitters(?) in ancient pyramid, but I know how to handle them now.
Finally, I'll post my gear if anyone is interested. I have tons of room to improve, but I'll wait until I start having problems, which should be soon :) I also have a bunch of gems sitting on switch waiting for me to get some 5l up in here. Thanks again! Last edited by shadowbeast82#2863 on Feb 6, 2013, 7:55:19 PM

I am SOOO confused. Is "Fire Physical Damage" the same gem as "Added Fire Damage"..?
|
|
" yea actually the same hmm since already went for golem blood, why not diamond skin cos if go for diamond skin +15% , then for gearing just focus max hp + chaos resist :D " my skill forest, might wanna remove amplify though, gonna try out diamond skin , then skull cracking and skullcracker + bone smasher |

Is it just me or does ground slam miss almost everything next to you?
By the time I pop the endurance buff the mobs are on top of me and my ground slam is not doing much. If I'm against really slow mobs like undead it works great at a distance. 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

" Seems like there is a hidden minimum range requirement for GS. Either that, or it's a bug. Frankly, I think Ground Slam is a pretty terrible skill. It could be because I'm a low level, but I much prefer Sweep and Leap Slam for my AoE abilities. The only advantage that GS seems to have is the small range (which seems to be countered by the time it takes to cast). |
