1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

I'm basically using the same framework of this build and ground slamming it up.

I have 4k hp and armor, level 73. 3200 DPS Ground Slam, 4k Heavy Strike. I play solo and I have been getting pretty frustrated running maps (69 level). I usually die setting back my level progress. My res are maxed with -30 chaos. Chaos mobs aren't a problem, it's usually other mobs like summoner siths, and random deaths that could've been preventive but in a slow fashion.

Any one else having problems, not having fun soloing maps? I'm missing some things like IAS gloves and movement speed boots. I'm sure i can min max better as well on other gear but I'm also running bad on drops and crafting.

I'm considering rerolling a ranged based build as I feel ground slam just isn't getting it done, armor doesn't seem that great to be melee in front of mobs.

Was just curious if anyone else soloing maps are satisfied with their output.


well at first look is seems god stat you have,atm i don't have big problem soloing except the endurence cry i found it pretty not easy to get more than 4-5 in cruel or normal(maybe is better in merciless) except this the other problem was mostly my bad equipement.

Lvl 47 act 3 cruel
~1,3k hp and dps with heavy strike

Here my eq atm(if anyone can sujest something or at least trade me some eq usefull)
My maruder is on level 30, do you think that my gear is ok? Or I should find better? I'm in Act 2(Normal).

Just play and you will find better gear...
is this build actually viable high-end wise?

If it is, it's heavily gear-dependant?

I'm 70 and farming maps (66 & 67) without big problems. My gear is bad... still sitting at blue chest and belt with only +Life on them.
Sometimes there are special mobs which are hard but even they are killable with some caution.

I realized it is a lot more fun to team up for farming maps.
Usually I play with some real life friends. It's more fun and you can clear maps faster.
seems viable high end so far.

Breeeezing through Merciless Act 2 currently.
Gear is below.

Although i have mixed up the OP's Passive tree with a mix of my own.
Currently lvl 59.




Still attempting to link weapon/chest to a 5L so i can effectively run my build, as some supportgems/gems are sitting alone, just to lvl them up as i cant currently run them in my build.

It IS certainly high-end-game viable!
And it's not as gear-dependet as some other builds I saw/played.

Strong points of this build:
* You will get very tanky with just +Life on your gear. (additional +Res even better!)
* With a decent - not too expensive - 2H mace your DPS will be high enough to solo everything in your level-range.

Having the exact problem as you have mentioned, doing maps solo is a pain and I'm dieing to mobs that I shouldn't.

Just died to a brutus equivalent in a level 66 map. Took my hp from 3.5k to half with his special skill. Tired of getting end charges every single fight, which is a must to survive in merciless.

The problem is, you got almost no resistances on your gear (only lightning). I am at the end of Act 1 on Merciless and I got resistances on almost all of my items + a ring which gives 25% to all in total. I'm at 68 on fire and cold and 80% on lightning. This is before Endurance charges, so it's maybe a bit much, but still...
MY recommendation is to get more resistances. The rest of the gear is ok (as far as i can estimate it), the belt is quite bad, since we don't need Strength for this build at all.
