Sword Tree:


Bandits:

Gem set up: As A two Handed user you can choose from many skills ill show you the setups for the most common of them, some of them can only be used with maces OR Axes

Area of Effect Skill Setups



Single Target Setup





Auras: 4L Hatred+Determination+Herald of Ash

Cast When Damage Taken: 2x 4l keep the first at low levels that it proccs often, and level the second higher to provide a long duration of immortal call, enfeeble can be swapped for Vulnerbility if you feel like you need more damage

for gear look for Life+Strenght+Armour on almost every single piece, make sure to cap your resistances at 76/75/75 (Barbarism gives +1 to maximum fire resitance)

as weapons get the highest physical damage axe or mace you can find, craft or buy, elemental damage on weapons is almost worthless,

you need atleast 4%-6% Lifeleech on your gear to sustain,

increase your dps by attackspeed and x-x Physical damage rolls from gear, several uniqes can be used with theese builds it requires none, it only gets more powerful through fitting ones

Magicfind: Because it reqires no special Items, you can stack Item Rarity (and Item Quantity,only available on a few uniqes) too! You can also put a skill linked to the Increased Item Rarity and Culling Strike gems in your 2nd weapon setup and switch to it to finish off bosses, Reapers pursuit is a great Item for this, it offers item rarity and has inbuild cullling strike

21K Cyclone dps( Cyclone, faster attacks, Melee physical Damge, Concentrated Effect,Bloodmagic, Life Gain on hit) with Hatred with my current tree, i will up date this when the patch comes out and add screenshots of offense and defense

This looks quite interessting for a 2hand Mace/GS Marauder.
Think this will be the new way for my Sword/Shield oldschool Marauder, because it bored me :D
I´m always more of a Face to Face pure destruction Guy when it comes to RPGs. So a straight forward 2Hand-Mace-Groundlammer seems perfectly right for me.

looks good ! i have the same vision that the "berserker" barbarian : a big mountain of life nodes and a huge 2handed weapon damage

but i think we need more endurance charge cause no shield/defence. Maybe coming from to the left part ( "vigor","stamina" and "endurance")

and you use 119 skill point. more realisticly ( sory french inside ) maybe use juste 100 ^^

keep going !

BERZZZZZZZZZEEEEEERK' !!!

Went from 9000 Life to 8500 Life , and from 21k dps to 30k dps(holyshit) with Herald of ash!

remade the tree, now pickung up the aura cluster near unwavering stance, to be abble to run Hatred+Determination+Herald of Ash

Your changes look nice. Definitely will be following this Guide for most of my process :>
Like the overhaul you did on the Startpost. Thanks for your work so far ;)

Nice build, you gave me a lot of ideas!

Can i go for the round tree near the Resolute Technique node instead of going down as you went, if i want to pick damage with maces ? Also should i get Iron Grip for a Molten Strike build ?
