1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Thanks for the build advice.

Now hopefully I can add some advice, make sure you pick up those endurance charge skill passives. I didn't think they were important, and boy does having 5 endurance charges up at all times make a huge difference in merciless.

Hey there, been following this build for the longest time and I am currently Level 55 in Merciless.

My gear is:


My question is where do I advance from this? I went the non-Smashing Blows way. Should I pick that up or get some armor nodes in?

i feel a little hard in merci a1, maybe my level too low.

my reduce damage is 23% and need endurace charge to surivive.

i wonder if go to IR and grace aura will help? maybe reduce damage can double. but it needs 6 passive points. then go to templar's hp tree.

sorry my english and gramma.

thanks for any advise on this build.

now i am 57 at merci act 3, i barely use endurace cry except boss fighting. using evade to armor passive skill, got the 3 armor passive skills at start which give me 14%+10% reduce damage.

Hey guys
Thanks for this easy to use and comprehensive guide!

Now I wonder if I should exchange blood magic as a passive skill and use a support gem instead.
I mean I'm missing precious auras... Are they worth the change?

Hey Hey,
First off, i wanted to say thanks for posting this guide! it helped me get through the early stages of the game and really get a feel for how groundslam marauders should be played. I'm currently level 81 And im in Hardcore so that should attest to its hardcore viability for anyone who has questions on it.
That being said, its definetly not a walk in the park at this level and it gets extremely gear dependant to continue this build.


i can post my gear upon request if you all want to see it, But again, thanks for the guide man :P

Hi and txn for your guide!You said ''DON'T create 111 POINTS build, because it is STUPID!!! You need to finish your build with Merciless difficulty - about 80 points. Level which you will probaly reach is ~70 which gives us 90 points. There is no point, scetching later build!''

Why is there no point to suggest some nods after you 've used about 90 points,and why is it stupid to create 111 points build?

Making a build with fewer points will mean that random people reading the guide won't decide to go for stupid nodes faster, and will actually have a good build by their expected end point (since most people probably won't get beyond finishing merciless).
Suggesting other stuff dilutes the message, since some people would read the explanations for those and think "that's a good idea, I should get that right away". Hopefully, you should have an idea about what's good and what's not by the time you reach the end game. If you don't, that's a great time to post here asking what to do next.

Build working fine finished merciless and farming maps.
