[1.3][BL/HC] Static Strike Block Marauder - Atziri on a budget.
|
Hello dear readers,
this is my first guide on one of my characters on the forums after having played the game for quite a long time. It’s a melee build utilizing Static Strike for single and multitarget purposes. I created this build with a simple goal in mind: Kill Atziri in a Hardcore League with a decent budget (<5 Exalts). The final version I ended up using surpassed this goal a small bit, but only because I opted to use a Bringer of Rain, which is an OPTIONAL item choice. Pros: + Very tanky (5,9k HP) + Good Block Chance (60% Attacks, 45% Spells (Lioneye's Remorse) / 0% Attacks , 75% Spells (Saffel's Frame)) + ~10k Armour + Decent RT DPS for a 1h Char (about 28.000 in hideout without Flask up) + 6% Life Regeneration + 6 Endurance Charges + Duration Immortal Call + Easy to play (Run up to mobs and hit them very hard!) + Cheap + OPTIONAL: Double Curse (For Safety or offensive purposes, depending on your playstyle, league and goal) Cons: - Chaos damage CAN hurt, you need to be very aware of that and use your Flask: - Runs no CWDT in the Bringer Setup (might be helpful if GGG removes EC from CWDT anyway) so it requires a bit of foresight - Has complicated Intelligence / Dexterity Requirements to fulfill your gem’s needs - Is too much fun to play? :) Onto the meat of the build: EcStaticFeeling (Level 87 Marauder) Tree and Gear

22 Points (about Level 19)
https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgEAWGPG2MRYPfz2SF8_UEfvDhQg5FGXeYtPKCqFUptqz36tjdlh6hh2rHzZ9zI= GOAL: Rush RT, get good Life and some 1handed Damage Nodes plus some decent Resistances. Gear recommended: (31% Block, high Life, 3% Lifeleech) (Okish Damage for Level 1 - 20)
46 Points (about Level 38)
https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgEAWGPG2MRYPfz2SF8_UEfvDhQg5FGXeYtPKCqFUptqz36tjdlh6hh2rHzZ9zIaPvIveTl-4nlowQSE2QHcvop4DQthvTZHfr6nZU3Bgi_MTUaE72LsBS1673TtYEs= GOAL: Get Diamond Skin for some free Resist, pick up the first Block Nodes, get to the Duelist Area for Life, removal of Movespeed penalty, some Attackspeed, and even more Life :) Gear recommended: At Level 20, pick up Ungil’s Gauche for cheap and proceed until Level 35, where you should pick up OPTIONAL: Tabula Rasa
74 Points (about Level 60)
https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgEAWGPG2MRYPfz2SF8_UEfvDhQg5FGXeYtPKCqFUptqz36tjdlh6hh2rHzZ9zIaPvIveTl-4nlowQSE2QHcvop4DQthvTZHfr6nZU3Bgi_MTUaE72LsBS1673TtYEtAoF4TrK8M96mVwL8yThuXxPZyqf5UDc0rUBzOPQ8GOSSL8wb7qlFgd-V8uzrYGjiQVScv7DiCmw== GOAL: Get the Duelist Block and Damage nodes at the bottom, then go to the Templar Area. I picked the Shield nodes up first, because I loved the extra Resistances those give at the Start of Merciless! Always look out for Life! Gear Recommended: At around Level 50-55, Mightflay falls off in terms of damage a bit (I was rocking about 5k DPS with it and a Tabula Rasa...), so look for a 250-300 DPS 1h weapon in your league. This one without the craft cost me 4c on Bloodlines and carried me safely to Level 70 Maps.
93 Points (about Level 75)
https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgEAWGPG2MRYPfz2SF8_UEfvDhQg5FGXeYtPKCqFUptqz36tjdlh6hh2rHzZ9zIaPvIveTl-4nlowQSE2QHcvop4DQthvTZHfr6nZU3Bgi_MTUaE72LsBS1673TtYEtAoF4TrK8M96mVwL8yThuXxPZyqf5UDc0rUBzOPQ8GOSSL8wb7qlFgd-V8uzrYGjiQVScv7DiCm5o74XOiAPAfBLPAZmjytfKpbti9NZJN4_6Pplc64f4K8kV99cQV GOAL: Finish up the Templar Area, then proceed to get the full Scion Life Circle to really beef up. You are now ready to face any map at Level 70 and below easily. Spec into 30 Dexterity / Intelligence at the Templar Area on Demand. Gear Recommended: (See Core Items Section)
110 Points (about Level 92)
https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgEAWGPG2MRYPfz2SF8_UEfvDhQg5FGXeYtPKCqFUptqz36tjdlh6hh2rHzZ9zIaPvIveTl-4nlowQSE2QHcvop4DQthvTZHfr6nZU3Bgi_MTUaE72LsBS1673TtYEtAoF4TrK8M96mVwL8yThuXxPZyqf5UDc0rUBzOPQ8GOSSL8wb7qlFgd-V8uzrYGjiQVScv7DiCm5o74XOiAPAfBLPAZmjytfKpbti9NZJN4_6Pplc64f4K8kV99cQV-OuRzrvtggfZfBRxLdKMz-nV8kES4WEhE0wm-BfhTjLBow== GOAL: I’d love to have something like this, with the seventh Endurance Charge and getting the Axe damage nodes to the left of the Marauder Area. The Damage itself is very decent already, so I’d just use those as end game goals. You can of course exchange them for any other weapon type you prefer. --- Bandit Choices: Normal - Oak (40 HP yay) Cruel - Oak (18% Physical Damage to scale Static Strike’s single target and AoE efficiency) Merciless - Oak (+1 Endurance Charge, what’s not to like?) / Skill Point is also an Option. --- Success I enjoyed so far: - Killing Atziri on Bloodlines (for my first time ever!) - Facetanking “Abaxoth, End of all that is” on multiple occasions for 3-4 Man Parties - Killing every boss in every map I’ve been to, also Zana Dailies, except for Torture Chamber, where I am too much of a coward :) --- Questions?

" Thanks, that's quite impressive. I myself dont fulfill the Intelligence Requirements for Rathpith nor do i have a Legacy Bringer of Rain in a Hardcore Challenge League. Also, that Sceptre costs 15 EX in Bloodlines, which does not fulfill my requirement of being Budget :-) My Static Strike Marauder: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1211370 Our Map Guide: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/339977/page/1 Avoid: BKR, apinkpwny Last edited by Slamdancer on Mar 3, 2015, 7:44:49 AM

How do u feel about using Aegis Aurora? Is it better than lioneye or could u not test it ?
Pm me on forums or ingame: Chickenlal

" @Abaxoth: yes, straight facetanking. @Aegis Aurora: I tried it before Lioneyes, but you cant really use the core upside (ES Regen) cause the Armour you have is way too low, so i decided against it.
