1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Why chaos resist is that important? which mobs deal chaos damage in maps?
Squirrel is love, Squirrel is life.
Just a quick question.... but for support gems to work, do they need to be directly linked to a skill gem?

For example say I have 3 slots on a weapon all linked ( 0-0-0 ). if I put the life on hit on the left, followed by leap slam in the middle and heavy strike on the end, would LOH work on both LS and HS?

Similarly if for the same weapon I use two support gems in the left and middle slot, then HS on the right will both support gems work?

Edit - NVM found out the answer:

"Multiple Skill gems may be linked to a Support gem, in which case it will modify all of the skills, and multiple support gems may be linked to a Skill gem, in which case it will be modified by all of them. However, if two copies of a support gem are linked to the same skill, only the higher level gem will be used. If armor contains two copies of a Skill gem linked to different sets of support gems, two seperate versions of the skill will be available, each with their own modifications. This may be desirable if for instance one version has been modified for single target damage, while another has been modified for AoE damage."

You get Chaos mobs in Act 3 (and I think some later act 2 ones do too). I would assume as you go up in difficult that could be quite substantial damage. I have resist on everything else and can for the most part ignore anything other than physical, but then suddenly I was finding myself losing HP fairly quickly against Chaos

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.


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).

in normal/cruel , sweep seems superior
but in merciless, u dun wanna get close to them though


Ground Slam + faster attack = :D

u check ur defense tab, im pretty sure that u will see chaos resistance is negative...

Chaos + range = gg [hp drop damn fast]
especially those snakes in act3

Yea but im almost 73 lv who cares about act3 ? im only farming docks-ther is no chaos dmg tho- and maps.
so im thinking to remove 6 points on +30 +30 +30 resists and try to max fire-light-cold resists withs armors. focusing chaos resist makes me poor eh

Thank you for this build. I tried builder a Marauder melee build on my own for my first character, had to scrap it at level 20. Your build has been working wonders for me. Through this build I am beginning to learn game mechanics.
Well Just take first 3 resists west heart of the gladiator and save 3 SP for
Diamind Skin /+15 all resist/ and +20 dexterity /helps to equip higher level faster attacks/ it gives +20 dex profit with same skill points
+20 dex + 15 all res is east of golem blood at south
