Marauder - [2.5 Video Guide] Beginners "End-Game-Viable" Tanky Cyclone Build - Forum

" Lemmji wrote: Do yourself a favor and do NOT be stupid like me and try to kill Xoph with lvl 78 and this gear I'm having. I thought "well, resistances are all capped, 4k life, good leech, let's fecking do this". The breach itself wasn't exactly great to begin with. My clear speed was okay, but nothing more. I had like 5 seconds on the clock when I reached the arena and that was with only picking up maps and legendaries, after I died I then collected all the currency. Well Xoph himself just plain and simple destroyed me. At my last portal he still had like 1/3 of his life. As I said I had capped fire resistance with 2 superior ruby flasks but still, when the whole arena is on fire, he hits like a truck and his minions have a bazillion life, there is not exactly much you can do if you're underpowered. Or I'm just not skilled enough yet, I "only" played the game for about 180 hours and this is my first end-game character. Well, now to collect all the Xoph splinters again... huuuuuh. I think I'm going to attempt the breach lords after I have cleared the uber lab and got my 4th ascendancy point. BUT: What a great experience. That boss fight was so thrilling! I've had to bite my nails like that in an RPG ever. The gear with which I lost (not much changed since the last time): Edit: I think the biggest problem were my DPS after thinking about it. I couldn't kill the boss adds at all, it took me a bit too long to clear anything. Guess I really have to up my dps...but how? I already have all the dmg+ nodes in the skill tree. Man, you can get much better gear cheap! Helmet: get 80+ life, and a lot of resistance (100%+ all together) Belly: it has bad roll Gloves: get 80+ life, phy damage, attack speed and resistances (these you're wearing are not worth 1c) Belt: I think 90+ life, 40+ strength, and resistances should be better Boots: get 70+ life, 30% speed and resistances (these you're wearing are not worth 1c) Amulet: get 70+ life, phy damage (t1 - 15-26...), needed atributes... Rings: get 70+ life, phy damage and res Flasks: get Atziri's (1c) for dmg boost, basalt flask, life flask with instant recovery, maybe also granite flask of iron skin You'll get a lot of dmg from leveling your gems (cyclone has huge dmg boost from leveling!) and having them 20% quality.

Even Merc Izaro sometimes one-shots me if I'm not careful which is unacceptable for a lvl 80 tank-class build. I really have to take of my tankiness before I start to care about dps.

Need some help to improve !!!! Here is my summary for this build, for now: Primary Stats: lvl 86 breach league 39k armor unbuff 60k+ buff 5.1k life 20k dps un buff, 40-45k buff All resistance cap Pretty smooth Build to lvlup, great speed and dps to lvl 0-70. If you can invest like 10 chaos to lvl this build is going to be a piece of cake. For all the gear i have i spend maybe 3ex ( 210 chaos ) for all. i play like 20 hours a week at least from the third week of the breach league. I did make some modification. I got the brass dome gladiator armor to boost my Defense. When i did buy this chest armor, i refund the point in my ascendancy skill tree that give me movement speed for the one who double the value of the chest armor. I did pick some mana leach node to help me sustain my mana. But now i hit a wall. I can do tier 11 map easy, but when i try tier 12+ sometime i got oneshot. I realy need more tankyness, like more elemental reduce damage or something that will improve my overall tankyness. Feel free to suggest some modification i could do to improve my build My gear : My passive skill tree: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAEBAAHcBLMFLQVmBsYHdQmWC2ETTBPJFCAUcRfhGj4hVSb4JyApLiz7MHc1kjkOOuE8BT38QKBDMUd-SshM_03jTjJQR1O7WGNZ_l2kXhNfP2EhZFJlTWWnZ5to8m6qbzt07Xasd-N4DXh6eWh673y4fNmCB4TZhO-FUodqiiKMz5d5n9-iAKZXqSepbqmUrY2uPq5Qr2y18r02vqe_1cABwBrAZsCmwQTBo8auxtjLHs9-0jjWWNi92WHZfNrB3D3d1eCf4mHkUeoY6wnvDu988B_yL_JB8kXzjfSD9kj3Mvjr_gr-a_6P?accountName=Jeece&characterName=QC_WeedGrinder_QC Last edited by Jeece#6154 on Jan 1, 2017, 8:36:28 PM	Posted by Jeece#6154 on Jan 1, 2017, 8:01:46 PM Quote this Post

How/where do you get these Unique axes? I thought somewhere I read that Vagan can craft them, but how/where does he do that? I have a Hideout and have invited him there and placed his bench, but that's just for adding certain attributes to items you already have, right? Where-ever I read about getting the axes from Vagan, I thought it also said that the cost is chaos orbs. Do you just sell chaos orbs to him and see what he offers? I wish more of this was clearer in the game. Same with the cards. I thought I also read that some cards can be turned into chaos orbs, but can't remember how. Also, how do you increase the # of sockets? Fusing? what's that?	Posted by codeman73#6247 on Jan 1, 2017, 8:24:40 PM Quote this Post
