[1.3] GrindelSLAM [1H + Shield Ground Slam] [WIP]

Warning
--Major Work In Progress--
Warning

Grindelwald here to show everyone the new melee POWERHOUSE that is going to be crushing Exiles this 1.3 league.

[Notes:]
1:) /XX/ = Character Level
2:) XXpts = # of Passive Points












Now that we have all the list of passives out of the way we can talk the direction of this tree and the builds main ideas. There are a lot of people that have posted and will post in the future ground slam builds. I am going to aim this guide for the 1.3 Update, we have a new tree and 25 new unqiues. I will make this guide as user friendly as possible and any feedback is appreciated.



Main Attack:Full List of Gems(see setups below for configurations)
Groundslam(12), Added Fire(12), Life Gain on Hit(12), Multistrike(19), Blood Magic(24), Faster Attacks(31), Concentrated Effect(31), Melee Damage on Full Life(31), Life Leech(31), Melee Physical Damage(31)

Main Attack Setup Pre Mapping:
A few things here that are different from the Mapping End Game set up, we have a couple ways to gain life back while we are doing damage, if you have your life under control you can swap them out for damage, or you can swap them in & out to adjust your mana multiplier. I'm going to list up to a 4 link here, if you have a 5/6 Link: see below section.

Interested in this! Could you post some optimal skill combos and auras to run? Make it really noob friendly?

Shaved off a couple points in pathing. Replaced mana flows with bravery. Took the regen on endurance charge. 202% life now, 105 points, also removed skill duration nodes(you didnt take the full cluster?).
Rest is the same. Why are you taking sovereignty?

If you find out you dont have mana problems post 80, then by all means, switch out and take, Bravery(+18% Life), instead of Mana Flows. I think having mana flows especially early on, will help with mana control. Thats why we are also taking Unrelenting for the 19% reduced Mana cost of skills. This is going to be a new build for me this league, So Here in a couple days I'll have more info on what is and isn't needed by 80/85 when it comes to mana.

Now Potency of Will, at 85, with no changes thats a planned 20% longer skill effect. That should help our endurance charges and our immortal call I have planned out, I decided on taking the last node, PoW at 86. ((hard to really decide these things now when we are pre-planning)), So if you wanna give up some mana regen, mana & int from the duelist area to take some more % life sure, but that should be a see how your mana is at first thing. IF you have no interest in the Longer Skil Effects then i guess you can invest those nodes into % life or something else of your choosing.

--I will try to take my game play experience and adjust anything in the next upcomming week. I'm going to try to spend the rest of tonight adding some gear and gem link updates for the post. Ty for your feedback.

With a bit of mana leech you should never need extra regen, especially with the new unrelenting cluster. At lower levels, though mana flows is godly.
