Spoiler

how did you get that fire dmg on mace? its a weird color so im assuming you crafted it somehow but im curious about how specifically because i have a lot of dual res gear that would be nice with a third lol

Crafting from masters. depends if you have slots open to craft on your gear. :)

Has anyone tried running Herald of Ice with the build off of blood magic? Shouldnt reserve too much life and may add a fair amount of dps.

Here is my current gear, im sooo squishy :D

lol why dont u bless ur rings? 7% is 2nd lowest roll :/

nice guide btw, though I'm curious to test this in endgame to see how it differs compared to the templar version... I guess templar has more random tools for mitigation but no upfront armour, this looks much tankier tbh

oh i hadn't even thought of that, just accepted that i was getting junk rings for cheap. i used 3 bless and got a 15% roll and 14%! nice!

How about using Iron Will gem guys? As a Marauder, we have so many Str.With Iron Will, each 10 Str give us 2% spell dmg. I'm at lv64 atm with 425 Str, so Iron will gives me more than 80% spell dmg.I swapped Fire Penetration to Iron Will, then I see clear speed is faster a little bit.
Need your opinion, cause I didn's see anyone use it.Thx.

Any leveling guide to this? Where on the tree you should be at what levels? I'm definitely going to follow this but not sure which tree branches to go down at what levels. Do I go down templar to totemic mastery early? Skip it and head to witch fire damage first? Down to leather & steel first? (if it's even necessary).

Same here. In what order did you level your passive tree? And what did you do regarding the need of intelligence for some gems?

Hmm i tested iron will but think fire pen is still better against magic/bosses for dps, it may icrease tooltip but fire pen is also needed!

This is how I did things, but it's circumstantial, if you don't have facebreaker and tabula rasa you might prefer a different method, but for me i knew i was going to be squishy and melee and need a lot of life to make up for that up until level 60ish when i could go totems.

First 19 points: Rush blood magic so I can speed-farm and never have to worry about mana

Detour: I pick up dex+30 and int+30 from below the Zealot's Oath node (up and left from marauder's starting nodes) because a lot of your gear and to level your gems is rather stat hungry unfortunately (im level 72 and still only 130 int, can't even equip wands, only maces)

Majority of my leveling period: pretty much pick up life nodes, leather and steel if you want

Pre-totems: i actually decided to start using double totems at exactly 58 iirc, so at level 50 i started putting points in the most important totem nodes (totem life, resists, and then ancestral bond at last) you obviously want to plan in advance, you don't want to find yourself in a position where you're bored of your build or dying too much and you want your totems, but have to wait 4 levels, or use up respecs and be down 4 life nodes. also its not enough to just grab ancestral bond because your totems will be weak, you need more nodes than that. which is why i say about 8 levels worth of totem stuff before actually taking ancestral bond.

searing bond is generally much stronger than flame totem until you start using greater multiple projectiles, faster casting, faster projectiles...the tooltip dps will be low but the effective dps will be much higher. i had a level 15 GMP or something so that also influenced when i started using totems, i just waited until i could actually equip it so i wouldnt have to find a new gmp (yeah, epitome of lazy)
