[2.0] YeahPete's Hardcore Elemental Molten Striker | custom Loot Filter | Affordable

My lvl 49 Marauder in Tempest RIPed.
Now I'm tempted to use your build but replace MS with frost blades :)

Glad you all are enjoying the build. Should be alot easier to find endgame weapons now too since the addition of life-on-hit endgame weapons.

Be prepared to not heal as fast.

Any suggestion get rid of this mana hunger thing?

I run 3 aura's and use 100% of my mana pool. I use Blood Magic for my attacks and enduring cry. I use CoDT for Enfeeble, Fire Golem, Phase Run. I need not worry about mana at all.

I took the aura nodes close-by and i am using blood magic on whirling blades + molten strike while i cast endu cry with mana. It works just same if you cant get good red-linkable stuff. (Like in tempest for me it was quiet hard so i spent 3 passive points instead.)

Pete, how's your gear looking atm and what level are you? I'm kinda new and could use some inspiration :)

Does the "2% of physical attack dmg leeched as life" on claws work with molten strike?

I'm lvl 47 in A2 Cruel. A So around So far found everything I have myself. Great thing about this is you don't really need great gear. FOcus on getting hp on everything. Pick up 4 link strength items or 4 link strength / dex items and get hp on them. I save all my chaos / alchs for trading for lvl 60+ items. I save jewelers and fuses too. NO need to use a bunch of those on a lvl 30 item. Be thrifty.

It does work, but try to always have at least 1 life on hit claw. Also try to find claws that attack faster to further scale your elemental auras.

Nice, thank you for the inspiration. I'm level 67 atm and I'm loving the build so far!

Which Masters would you recommend that i use? And do you aim to use any jewels?

Which Masters would you recommend that i use?

We will be doing all masters, but I really don't start doing thier quests until I'm level 50. I feel it's a waste of tiem at low level since so little exp is gained when they will get way more experience at in higher areas. I start with Haku for resist mods on armor and Vorici to change socket colors. I switch them out if one just levels up though.

ALSO NOTE:
I updated guide to include:

Loot filter changes:
Removed useless 4l weapons.
4L chrome recipes still show up.
Removed white & magic claws that had 1.3 aps
Removed white & magic claws that had leech.
Removed low level claws as you enter higher areas.
Remove all 4 socket weapons that were dropping since we only use claws these are useless.
4s chrome recipes still show up.

GUIDE CHANGES
Updated guide on when and where to purchase the gems we need.

Ok. Now I'm having problem fighting dual Brutus in Dungeon map. It's like impossible. I think I need immortal call or some hard CC on 2 of them.

I would skip that. Thats pretty much a gear check. Many top players skip bosses, nothing wrong with that. You would need the endurance charge on melee stun setup w/ your whirling blades and Cast when Damage Taken Immortal Call. Basically need the soul Taker Siege Axe to do content that does extreme damage spikes that can both hit you at the same time. The desync he gives you doesn't help at all either.




I wanted to throw this question out there. I happened upon the INNERVATE gem.
INNERVATE: Gain onslaught upon killing a shocked enemy.

We need a clever way to add this to our build. Later in the game, mobs are almost always shocked when we kill them but we don't really want to switch this into our main attack because only 20% attack speed isn't as good as other gems we could add. What we need is to add this to some skill we don't need to touch and hopefully get some onslaught at random times hopefully quite often. Problem is we don't want to rid of other gem setups that work really well either.

If you guys have idea please throw them out, but here are some ideas we should experiment with:

Herald of Ice + Herald of Thunder + Innervate + Culling Strike?

Vengence + Innervate + Culling Strike + Riposte or Power Charge on Critical

Cast When Damage Taken + Innvervate + Frost Wall

Vaal Skill + Innervate + Culling strike

Other skills that hit often w/ AOE: Firestorm, Lightning Warp, Magma Orb. Firestorm seems like it would work well because of its duration + AOE

So something like:

CwDT + Firestorm + Innervate + Culling Strike



The onslaught buff is only like 20% attack speed for like 3 seconds so we don't want to go overboard with this either. If our power charge on crit's works better then we should just use that.

"

Vengence + Innervate + Culling Strike + Riposte or Power Charge on Critical

Would have been my first thought.
