Niffler´s Perma Stun Groundslammer [2.0.0]
CONCEPT
For the start of the new Leagues we need a solid build with: + cheap gear + fast leveling + tankyness + good clearspeed 2H Weapons provide high DPS with the downside of no shield slot and of course being melee. With Ground Slam + increased AoE one is basically ranged and with the stun mechanic we have GG defense so a perma Fortify or Block is not needed. With the new 6% AoE Coronal Maul + stun passives maces are generally the best base for a stun-AoE build. There are no uniques required and all itembases require almost no offcolors, lifebase non crit results in negligible gearcost. Furthermore the passive tree is perfectly compact and efficient. With almost no investment one can achieve 5000+ Life; 150% Stun Threshold & high DPS. My current record is reaching lvl82 in 30H playtime in Warbands.
PASSIVES
KEYNODES:  Resolute Technique --> Always Hit, this is a non-crit build!  Unwavering Stance --> Stunimmunity as melee, were using armor and no evasion!  Iron Reflexes --> Optional, enables using hybrid gear and Grace for more armor! BANDITS: NORMAL:  Oak +40 life CRUEL:  Kraityn +8% Attack Speed MERCILESS: Kraityn +1 Frenzy Charge

Jewels
 Prefixes: 5-7% Increased maximum life 6-8% Attack Speed with Maces Suffix: 3-5% Increased Attack Speed 10-12% Area or Melee Damage This would be the perfect Jewel, of course other Mods like Physical Damage with TwoHanded Weapons also work, but the rolls would be lower. In general 8% Attack Speed with Maces is best DPS. 16% Phys with Maces is blocked by the Life mod, that I preffer. You can get 12% Area Damage and 12% Melee Damage as suffixes, 4% less damage but 7% life is too much value...
