Hey, really love this build. I'm level 75 right now and slowly doing maps and grinding for currency. I'm using the Doomsower which is amazing (did you design it with this build in mind?). However I don't see myself being able to afford a high-dps rare sword anytime soon. Would you say Atziri's disfavour is a nice upgrade to aim for if I have the correct dmg nodes?

Hey, disfavour is very good with this build, just get the axe nodes instead of sword nodes, like this:

Is Vaal Temple doable with 5l only and Belly ? With reasonable mods ofc ?

I wasted 2k fuses without 6l, it's all i got from the past 2 months of playing. God knows how much I transfered from Bloodlines, cashing out my characters.

6l is probably not an option until act4 I think.

This is the only thing for me to do.

I have like 5 ex max for evrything...

Hi all,

I am a returning player and i'm looking for a build for my empty-tree lvl88 Marauder.

I am between two options, this build and the "RaizQT budget RF incinerator (Atziri killer build)".
My char was using a modified "[Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD" with Auras and Iron Reflexes, so my gear are much closer to the ones used in this build than the other one.

I have already searched through this thread (haven't read the whole 49 pages though) and found some answers for the things i was wondering about, but i would just like to ask a couple of things:

1)I know why Swords>Maces in this build (LGOH Attack Speed synergy and all), but since i have a 6L Marohi Erqi, how big the difference would it make if i used that, with a proper Mace nodes tree ofc (btw the word "Marohi" is not once found in this thread!)?. Would the survivability hit be so big that it's better to just trade the Marohi for a 6L ~400pDPS Sword and give up the lvl15 Increased AoE bonus?
On that subject, from what i remember a thing about slow weapons was that for the same DPS, a weapon that has "high dmg / low AS" was "better" what a "low dmg / high AS" damage-wise because the bigger the single hit dmg, the more enemy Armor you penetrate. So 2x500dmg per sec ended up doing more damage than 10x100dmg per sec. Does this still apply or/and mitigates some of the drawbacks of using such a slow weapon by any chance?

2)Since this isn't included in the first post of this build, can anyone provide a small/simple Pros/Cons list please? (more interested in the drawbacks/shortcomings)

Below is a screenshot from me ingame today, and my gear.
Not that i expect the build to work on my "random" current gear ofc, i know i will have to change some gear/gems etc.

Thank you in advance, have fun people :)

Hey, the good news is that this build is not only for cyclone, you can use it with any skill and any weapon, the only thing you want to change is to get the mace nodes instead of sword nodes, keep the same setup, this build is pretty much the best way to go on about doing 2h maras.


As for the armor penetration, if you do more than 1k phys per hit you penetrate the armor mobs have because mobs have a max value of ~900 armor, so its irrelevant beyond 1k flat phys on your tooltip.



For GS Mace, and your level:

Next levels just take the AoE nodes at templar and the reduced mana + life cluster



Pros:-Very tanky, can reach 7.7k life at level 90 with all rare gear, 8.2k with belly, 9k+ with kaoms, high regen, almost nothing can kill you.
-Easily able to solo normal atziri
-Cheap Gear
-Can do any map mod

Cons:-Not good in PVP
-Can't do uber without insane gear

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Well maybe i will test the previous GroundSlam AoE / HeavyStrike Single Target setup and see how it works out then :)

Also the tree i made when i posted before (basically removed Swords nodes and added the Maces ones i saw) was this, but will use yours since i am not in touch with the game. Small changes are easy to made anyways, a 3-4point cluster can be swapped for another, even for testing purposes.

One thing i am thinking of changing though, is the two nodes connecting Skull Cracking with Bone Breaker: you use the two 10% physDmg + 4% reducedStun (left from BoneBreaker), i think the two 10% physDmg + 2% increasedAS (right of BoneBreaker) would be better for more damage, right?

Also i have 3 more points to spend, i will leave those unassigned and get some play time with the build, then i will see where it's best to put them: Amplify, Unrelenting or maybe i will need Diamond Skin or Sentinel for res.
Berserking seems also like a nice cluster to have (in my haven't-played-for-a-year opinion lol), huge AS boost.

Now it's late for me but i will get on it tomorrow, i will post all stats and stuff.

Thanks and have fun!
