1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

First of all: great build!

Second of all: has anyone drafted an axe variation of this build? I ask because high-end axes have higher DPS. On the other hand, they require some DEX, and their damage nodes are in different places.

I've been thinking about this lately...

A note about endurance charges:

They stack multiplicatively with their respective bonuses, not additively.

In other words, you can have 80% all resist, and an additional 35% from endurance charges would mean an effective 87% resistance to elemental damage. The only reason why you would want your resists to be lower than the cap is if you feel that 87% elemental resistance is overkill (which is a reasonable decision).

And again, let me mention that this build is very flexible when it comes to elemental resists because of that large cluster of them at the very start. Is your cold resist 30 points past the cap because of equipment? Respec out of two cold resist nodes and use the points to get further along in the build.


I don't get it...
It is so easy to check such things ingame or just read the wiki BEFORE posting false facts and possibly confuse new players.

I have a axe build that looks pretty similar to this. But uses flicker strike and blood rage.
Thanks for your work! Nice guide. I'm noob in this game, also my English not so good. But it was easy to read and understand this topic, ty.


Is it good for this build?

Or i guess it is only for Boss fights?

Hello
Im using this build and im Marauder but i have problems with gems which i should use on him.
I have now Clarissa Reward in act3 at Sarn Encarnment. Im 33lvl and i have to choose between these gems:
# Dominating Blow
# Rejuvenation Totem
# Enduring Cry (already have 1 of this)
# Warlord's Mark
# Frenzy (need 48 dex)
# Hatred
# Whirling Blades
# Tempest Shield


Also my actual gems what i use:
Ground Slam, Sweep, Life gain on hit, heavy strike, Added fire damage, Decoy totem, molten shell, enduring cry, leap slam.
Gems what i dont use:
# Infernal Blow Cleave Glacial Hammer, Decoy Totem

What gems i should use? There is no information in build, and i need to know it.
Does it matter what gem i will take from that reward?
I prefer to choose this best one but i need ur help...

I know i need life leech gem but i think i will get it later so what to choose now? :(

This is a sweet build. I do have one question for the experienced poe players. I still need to buy enduring cry for the build. How much should I pay for it in trade chat?

From those rewards probably only rejuv is worth using (but with lvl 33 it wont be much help), you pretty much have everything that is needed so take anything, preferably something that you might wanna use on your toons. Only thing that you miss and is great is increased melee dmg support gem. But yeah, added fire dmg works well till you have the other one

It's quest reward, don't bother buying it - you don't need it early.

I use this: http://blackrabbit2999.blogspot.com/2012/07/path-of-exile-quest-gem-reward-list.html

to determine whether or not a gem has value. If it's from Normal difficulty, then it's an easy gem to obtain. The fact that it's an easy quest from Act 2 no less, surely you can get it yourself. You won't need Enduring Cry all that much till then, so if you want to buy it then go ahead. However, I wouldn't pay all that much for it.
