Read patch note -> crit nerf -> nothing to do with this build Read Gladiator skill table -> more power is waiting!!! I will definitely continue with this build!! Just a few hours left until I could become a Gladiator... It is as though a thousand mouths cry out in pain!!!	Posted by sefer1988 on Mar 4, 2016, 11:29:10 AM Quote this Post

Early on in the game, your damage will suffer because your accuracy for attacks is extremely low as Marauder. Going for Resolute Technique (RT) as soon as possible nullifies this, as RT makes ALL your attacks automatic hits, with the downised that you never make critical strikes. Since this isn't a crit build, however, this is no downside for us. Ahhh and what about the respect part? You saying we should rush to get RT then at a certain point we respec?

I don't quite understand how the build is max block without BoR. i only count around 60ish, with a 27% block shield, the gladiator tree, passives, +1 block jewels, and Tempest Shield... Am I missing something? Mess with the best, die like the rest.	Posted by Edzilla on Mar 4, 2016, 11:59:15 AM Quote this Post

It seems very strong and the new Less Duration makes it even more appealing right now. What do you think? Yes, absolutely, Eartquake is a skill you can use in this build.

Even Aegis is like 40-50c after a few days in the league, at least in softcore. You can even get a http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Callinellus_Malleus, if you can't find any better weapon, since this sells for like 1 alch - 1c. 1H+Shield High Block&Spell Block Tank: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/868995 Ice Crash Crit Staff AKA "The Shaterring Karui": https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1289037 Tanky Block+AR+EV Ranger Crit Reave Dagger/Claw: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1301888	Posted by ComradeSerge on Mar 4, 2016, 1:04:55 PM Quote this Post
