The Easiest of the Easy Beginner Build Guides [1.1 SotV UPDATED]

Hey Ziggy, I'm running the Higher damage LA varient and loving it. Just a simple question:

I'm level 62 and at a crossroads. I can work into the few templar nodes for the elemental damage and health, i can go up to get the duelist projectile stuff, or work on heavy draw/aspect of the eagle. I'm still new, so i'm not sure what the order of these tree progressions should be. Thanks.

Hi I am wondering what requirements are recommended before taking BM in the skill tree. I currently have 900 total life, 7.5 life regen, 2 life on hit and 6 on kill. As well as 3% phys leech. I do not however have very many of the support gems you recommended, especially life leech. Is this going to be a problem? Or am I fine to take BM right now?

You're quite fine without life leech. I'm not running Life Leech at all , and i'm level 62. As long as you have Pierce and Life Gain on Hit, you'll sustain BM easily.

how much would i lose if rather than going all the way up into the int section to get chance to shock, i just spec'd into the maruarder zone for more life/resists

yes that's what i am thinking too. I am new to this game but having 1/5 chance to shock doesn't excite me. We can get more life and damage nodes.

Try fixing it with gear. Shock is -really- nice.

isnt groundslam / heavystrike marauder the easiest build in poe? you only need 4 link items, no 5 or 6 link and you only use 2 abilities. Very tanky but still alot of dps if you get a nice mace

hey i didn't see anyone mention this and I was wondering if you guys are leveling lightning warp. specifically is the damage/reduced duration worth the extra mana/health costs? has ziggyD mentioned anything about this?

With a level 16 LW, i don't notice any spell cost with BM on. You can easily sustain high level LW, so the duration is worth it.
