I am curious if the 3 nodes at the very end of this passive chain is worth it for this build? Its a total of +50% elemental damage with weapons.

Hello everyone.

I am using this build with Iron reflexes and i have 2,8k hp 4k arm 3,2k dps heroic strike(lvl 67).
Solo playing is pretty nice but I have a question to you. Many times in groups i ve seen marauders who just stand inside big pack of mobs,or in those dock's hound's breathe and they are like immortal. what more today i was in 6 ppl party with a marauder lvl 64 who just stood next to general without any problems and i ve died 2 times almost 1 shooted. what is their secret? how to improve our surivability?

any ideas?

What are your resists?

Are you using Endurance charges (all 7 of them?)

Whats your health regen look like?

Im 64, with 3k health, 200HP/S, only about 1500 armor. I was running docks all night yesterday without getting anywhere near dying, as long as I have my 7 endurance charges stuff barley scratches me.

For those of you having DPS problems, here are a couple of things you really NEED by the time you get to 60-ish:

A four-link RRRR item to put Heavy Strike, Increased Phys Damage, Increased Fire Damage, and Leech/Life on Hit/Blood Magic.

A weapon with at least 100% increased physical damage.

I am sitting at 3000dps, and while my weapon is nice it's not godly or best-in-slot or anything. You just have to make sure the two above are met (not necessarily by the same item). By the time you get to act 2 Merciless, it pretty much becomes mandatory.

I personally prefer RRRG for Faster Attacks

i have 150hp/sec,7 endurances and my fire ress is 31% what gives 66% with endurances.well when i am soloing i am prety strong but in groups i feel like i need 2 times more survivability...

1900ish Ground Slam here. This is with RRRG where i got phys dmg, fire dmg and faster attacks. Only switch to more life leech in very tough places, but for farming ill go full DPS or even quantity gem.

Can also be raised to 2100ish when running Blood Rage and 3 frenzy charges going on. Usually Blood Rage when solo farming, but in teams its too much hassle when combined with keeping 7 endurance charges going on and doing Enduring Cry to keep squishies in team alive and Warlord's Mark curse for hp leech and charges.

My weapon is bit outdated lvl 54 2h mace with 118% phys dmg mod and some extra phys dmg bonus.

And about tanking docks, keeping those endurance charges really seems to be the key for surviving leap slam in middle of 10 enemies and aoe taunting. Besides that, AOE dmg combined with high hp leech keeps hp up in such situation. And if it looks still too tough, then decoy totem can divert enemy attention for a bit to regain hp back full. Also granite flask helps in emergencies. But if all that fails, well, better kite a bit than die like "a hero".


ps. how do i link ingame stuff here in forums?

Testing if i can link my new mace here.



edit. worked, anyways above post dmg values are now old, went up to 5k single and 2.4k aoe.
