It would have been tedious to solo early maps but probably doable, having casters helps a lot for sure.I do good damage with the gear i have now and can tank pretty well while stunning everything with ground slam.

Im trying this build out now in beta and I kind of wonder what way you go first.
Up or right on the tree and would you suggest taking each point as they come or go for sertain nodes on a place and then go past them and pick them up after awhile?
Nice guide.

Thanks for sharing your build. :) My marauder just died in HC at 34, so I was wondering how to improve and this gave me a lot of great information.

GL!

Thanks for sharing! Do you think your current build is viable for solo? I think some of us here find it hard to group up with decent people without looting our goods.

Why would you use a sword with LS?

yes

let me rephrase the question, why is a sword better than a maul or an axe when using LS?

paul,

for slam, if one of your greens were a red , would you put in elemental weaon damage? would give you a much bigger increase in damage than the cold damage gem. With such a small amount of cold damage, I assume you added it for the chill effect? But since theyre being slammed by stun, does it really matter?

Also, why no extra endurance charges? With your current build are you hitting the cap of 90% reduction as is?

also as an above poster mentioned, I believe your build which Im using now at lvl 48 would benefit from flame lash.

yo swegger grace still worth going in it or have you changed your mind?

it's not... more like the other way around: if you're using a sword, then LS is the best AoE option for you.
