Marauder - Rhox's basic hardcore 2h marauder build - Forum

I am new to marauder and relatively new to the game. I like the build. Just have one question, which way to go first? Do you go templar tree after the resolute technique? Or do you rush blood magic and onwards to the right? ...	Posted by SpecialGamer#6703 on Jan 29, 2013, 7:57:05 AM Quote this Post

Paul, If youre armor had a 6th red slot, would you double up your active skills on it and then open up your weapon to an entirely new skill combo? With your mix of phys and ele bonuses I would, but then again im a rookie.	Posted by lethstang#2271 on Jan 29, 2013, 9:51:30 AM Quote this Post
If you could get 2 blood magic gems on groundslam and glacial hammer would you take off blood magic so you can run things like determination?	Posted by Hardaek#5092 on Jan 29, 2013, 10:25:29 AM Quote this Post

Think you would need to have both skills in different items, you could link them with faster attacks wepaon ele, melee phy, and added fire in 1 6 link but i think i want to get life leech in both eventually. you could pull it off, but there arent that many abilities you need as a marauder and 6 links are expensive and rare http://www.twitch.tv/rhoxxx follow the stream :) Last edited by RhoxPOE#0067 on Jan 29, 2013, 1:16:52 PM	Posted by RhoxPOE#0067 on Jan 29, 2013, 1:11:23 PM Quote this Post
Thanks Paul, one more Question: should i aim for life on hit or lifeleech? currently i'm using life on hit with groundslam. Am i right that life on hit account for every enemy struck by my groundslam? (4enemies in front of me get hit by groundslam so the life on hit would be 4times the stated (gem) value?)

(4enemies in front of me get hit by groundslam so the life on hit would be 4times the stated (gem) value?) ya it should work like that, id go for life leech eventually though, they buffed it in open beta i guess, 6% life leech with a lot of damage and high hp is a lot of regen http://www.twitch.tv/rhoxxx follow the stream :)	Posted by RhoxPOE#0067 on Jan 29, 2013, 1:21:27 PM Quote this Post
How does lightning strike compare to ground slam for aoe? Would you modify the build much if going LS?	Posted by Moers#5413 on Jan 29, 2013, 2:12:01 PM Quote this Post

Would you modify the build much if going LS? i think ls is nerfed and its not as good of aoe as ground slam, you could probably get by using it though, and the build would probably be the same except with swords im guessing http://www.twitch.tv/rhoxxx follow the stream :) Last edited by RhoxPOE#0067 on Jan 29, 2013, 2:14:49 PM	Posted by RhoxPOE#0067 on Jan 29, 2013, 2:14:35 PM Quote this Post
