Hi, guys. I decided to switch from infernal blow to molten strike this patch. Everybody was talking about how doryani's catalyst deals enormous amount of damage with MS+AoF and this is the part I'm confused about. I'm using MS+multistrike+wep ele dmg+fire pen+faster attack and blood magic. My tooltip dps is around 12k with hatered. I've pretty much followed the tree given in this guide. Is this normal? I was expecting a bit more, since I was doing around 15k with my infernal blow. Thanks in advance.

Tooltip damage is not very relevant as it only counts the melee hit and not the projectiles which do most of the damage in this build. You can also consider replacing Faster Attacks with Concentrated Effect for a big damage increase to the projectiles, though tooltip damage will go down.

new league new main skill, been using the guide in here and i got to say this it's too much power, mid cruel im killing without breaking a sweat :D

thanks to everyone that contributed to this community build

Hi 2 all!!!First of all i want to thank to all who contributed this MS thread,and i must say it is best thread i have ever read on poe forum.I really learned a lot from reading many post here written.
After seing that MS build is indeed powerfull i wanted to make my marauder lvl 67(standard league) transformed into this.Untill last patch i was doing Ziggy D's Infernal blow build,and it was doing fine until i hit lvl 62-63.I found out it is kinda squishy even with my 7 endurance charges,although i must admit I dont have such a good euqipment since i lack some currencies to buy good weapons etc.Mostly im solo player with solo found gear.
Since i respecced into MS build my passive are:

I was going for one more endurance charge( so now i have 5 with last bandit quest).I see that this build dont go endurances much,but since i lack of good gear i think it gives my good survivability.
For now im doing 2h build cause i dont have a good shield,but i would probablly transfer later for 1h+ shield to be tankier.
My gear(I know,it sucks):

With this gear i have about 2k dps from MS running hatred,which is kinda low IMO.Other aura as u can see is Determination,but I could switch to Grace eventually,and mb i could add Herald of Ash when i find it or buy it.
In the stash i have some items,but Im not sure are they worth any..Like:

I would love if u guys could point me where should i go from here and what are my mistakes in this build.Im kinda newby in this game,never had a character who could do end game,and I know this build can do it.:-)
Ty in advance and srry for my bad english...:-(

Restekpa that phoenix roar mace has much better damage, added lightning wont scale with our build so... the crest of perandus is a very good shield it pretty much has the highest block in the game.
Another powerful option that will be available is added damage through your crafting bench, use alterations till yuu get over 120% + dmg then use the bench for added phys dmg eg +23-45 and if you can add attack speed, still wont be cheap but an over 400 dps 2h weapon seems to cost about 4ex on xyz.
tanis0 regarding evasion vs armour is reallly situation dependant, if you end up in the spider pit on jungle valley with 2 bosses and a 100 enemies around you armour is much better.
On another note herald of ash works well in the doryanis, the ele proliferation is noticable.
This is the setup.

Yes it has,but the problem is my main geared weapon is only one in my inventory that has 5 links,i would need a good chest with 5 links at least,and for now i dont have enough currencies to upgrade it,on the other hand not one chest i have is worth doing so IMO.Mb i could try 3 link phoenix roar for auras and 4 link setup for MS.
About crafting,u think I should craft it for sell?I dont even know how to do it,is it with Masters,I mean crafting?
Please guys help me about my build,i rly want to do endgame :-)
As for 1 handed sword,i have one unique,although dont know is it good for this build?

Doing a quick search on xyz I see 56 5l chests with over 400 armour under 5 chaos, I would just farm till i had the currency to buy one of those should last you till level 75 or so. You can also alc and chaos till you get the stats you need. I would also search for rings and amulet with the resists + life you need (put buyout at 1c). (The weapons ok, probably take you to level 65 or so.)
Im really tempted to do a 2handed version I love the look of Geofri's Baptism bouncing up and down while I smash things.

I dont know about 2 handers,they are big boost to dmg but its rly hard to tank without shield.At least thats what i lacked with infernal blow build...

Spoiler

Re evasion vs. armor, I've never really geared anything out to a crazy level so I'm relying on opinions from both sides. From what I've seen, everyone but Dmillz seems to recommend full armor (which would mean IR), but then they say the armor isn't doing as much as they'd like. That doesn't surprise me much as, from what I've heard, spike damage from bosses like Atziri has been added to cut down on facetanking and increase the need to be an active player. If I ever manage to gear this guy out, I'll have to try both.

Regarding your weapon, does Blind proliferate with the burning status? I wasn't sure if it would or not. If not, increased AoE might be an option.

Yeah I have the problem of thinking with good enough stats I can face tank anything:)

According to a reddit forum I read it does but im not 100% on it. Ive wondered about adding burning damage but at present I have 5 mana left so any more multipliers wont work (I think).

What kind of weapon do I need with that

A fast or slow 1 handed ?

Does it has to be only Physical DPS on weapon or some FIRE Edps or whatever Edps ?

Just trying to buy the best weapon for my money
