is this viable for beyond league? like to map do stuff in merc, i ask cause this is the first time i hit cruel in hardcore and it is with my molten striker, and i dont want him to die :(

As long as you are have decent HP and keeping your resists high you will not have a problem. Glad you are making good progress with your character. Feel free to contact me in game if you ever have questions. The biggest probable cause of death in HC will be the player themselves. The second you quit playing smart is the second you die.

Picking up any Frenzy/Endurance as I can. Later on, getting the Marauder Melee Physical Damage nodes.


other gear (kinda crappy)

So far, It's pretty awesome up to 77.

Doing similar build at Beyond right now, 59 lvl, dont have problems, only mobs with all kind of freezes is annoying as hell.
3.5k tooltip damage

Also, i have a huge feeling, that projectiles never miss actually.. For example, when shroud walker blind you, basic attack miss, but projectiles dont.

I thought i would post my build, its taken a lot of tweaking since the patch came out but im finally happy with it. Im now using herald of ash, tempest shield, hatred and grace. To run all four you will need an Alphas Howl and the passive keystone Soverignty.
Herald of ash is looking really good for our build, also a few forums are saying that block, spell block and high life pools will be the best way to deal with Atziri (all good news for us). My tooltip dps is 14537 my block chance 72, spell block is 53, armour 10700, health is 4744.
My gear
My passives
The Tempest shield uses up the last tiny bit of mana with the support of elemental proliferation on the Doryani's, I had it on my shield originally but 35 mana wasn't any use.

Gonna take my words back :D

Came to act 3 merci at Beyond, and suddenly build become very hard to play! I mb a little bit undergeared, but i still have maxed res and 4k hp, 3.5k tooltip damage, it feels that at this point i have both quite low damage and survivability at same time.

So, i wont recomment to play 2h version of this build at Beyond if you are selffound and dont have money for at least medium gear. I still will try to level to 80 and test crit version with new crit staff, but feels like it will be a long way :D

So I've hit a bit of a gear wall in my beyond league progression and could use your help. I really don't have great damage (1.1k @ 55), but resists and survivability are fine.

RNG has been especially rough with this character, so I basically only have about 1 c to work with. I have more in other currencies, but I'm having trouble converting them in trade because the amounts are low (ex: "WTS 7 fuse for 3c, PST")

Here's my gear, just let me know where I should start - both in terms of best bang-for-the-buck items to upgrade and areas to grind. I was thinking of just farming the coast or even Hillock until I could build up a few c for a multistrike or 5-link chest or something...

My gear:

I'd really welcome any suggestions to further optimize this version of the tree (109 points). It really looks quite promising:

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated :)

YOur weapon is total trash, no offense)

I bought this for 1 chaos yesterday

Im trying this build out for my very first Marauder (Im level 32 at the moment). It seems very nice, and cool and so far Im clearing very fast with my baptism :)

I have some thoughts though according to Unwavering stance and resolute Technique:

Unwavering makes me immune to stuns, which sounds very awesome, but Im thinking about not being able to evade the enemies attacks? Wont that mess up the Iron reflexes a bit since all the evasion on your character wont count. Or is this just to make the evasion transform into armor?

And with the Resolute technique I'm wondering why you should give up crits? Is it not possible to crit with the MS in the first place and will it boost the accuracy of it without having to get more dex?

Im also a bit confused about the blood magic and such since there are some nodes with the same names as the gems, which makes me a bit unsure.

I'm very new to the game so sorry for all these questions.

Edit: Also Im planning to go for a 2h mace build, but Im saving all the block nodes, 1h mace nodes and 2h dmg nodes for last just in case. The only thing I would refund would be Unwavering stance.
