1.3 The Community's Molten Strike, Face Melting Build!! 1h+shield and 2h variants available

datasheets it is then :D

Rolled my marauder last night following this build. Can't wait to put in a few hours today power-leveling him!




It's good to see this much community input into a new build as well.

DATA SHEETS!!! RAAAAWWWWRRRR!!!!

NVM just saw the datasheet :P

***UPDATED THE BUILD NAME SINCE THIS IS HAS BEEN A HUGE GROUP EFFORT***

Kartik check out the one I posted on the previous page. Also you should note that Faster Attacks scales better than Added Fire into the late-game. Added Fire is good, especially for leveling. But later on (especially with hatred) Faster Attacks is better.

Do I have to use a two-handed weapon or can I run a one hander with a shield?

Has anyone been able actually test if AoF is better then without yet or if no AoF is better? So many pages I cant keep up with posts and updates haha.

Please look at my spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aola0b1my3YOdENwdFlOTUNWUVRuRE9kcE92d0lJRGc#gid=0
It does all the calculations.

Thanks for the datasheet......I just compared a build my friend and I crafted to a modified version of a build posted in this thread (different weapon type so different weapon-based nodes and some pathing changes)....it's pretty similar to the build in the OP now, but still has some different point spent.

Long story short the passives I'm looking at now has more life and slightly more DPS than the build I had at the end of yesterday, and it passes by AoF so it's only 1 point away if I decide to get it. It also gets elemental adaptation for even more max resist (vs the build I was initially working with).

Hmmm looking at the build in the OP and the Gems in the OP I see no way for this build to survive it's own attacks. What am I missing here? BM gem but no leeching. You take zero leech passives.

Carnage heart is mentioned but also says you don't need 10%. Well, I don't get that part. You're going to need some sort of way to run this off BM.

----------
and thanks for the data sheet. I'll be modifying it myself when I have some time. I don't get the Gems part = C2 which is physical from passives... something missing there.

Reflect is not an issue because the fire damage is split in 4 ways and not 1 large hit. This means our resistances will have a much greater effect on us mitigation that incoming damage. So far no reflect has been any issue for me.

If you need more leech you can always slot it in in replacement of a gem slot, should only notice a kill speed difference on unique mobs and some rares really.

I cant say how AoF will play out since I have not ran it. Most likely it will follow a previous mentioned idea of running Purity of Fire to further raise your max resist cap.

Also since this is a BM link set up, you can run things like a ruby flask to further mitigate the damage. You dont need 5 HP pots on your bar :P . Overall you should not have any problem vs reflect.
