Marauder - [2.0 Build] Marauder Zealadin - Forum

Hey All,

I've been thinking about a build for a while and am up for some suggestions. The goal of the build is to recreate the nostalgia of the diablo 2 Zeal paladin, who uses a shield and one hand weapon to cut down his foes.

I am unsure if I should go Blood Magic or use mana for two heralds, an offensive aura, and still be able to use mana to attack and leap around (might go Whirling Blades).

I used the "Path of Exile - Passive Skill Tree Planner" app to create the build and would appreciate any constructive feedback, what's the build lacking in or too inefficient/redundant? With the fairly defensive skill tree, I'm relying on auras and buffs to make up the difference in damage but with the goal of having Onslaught up often I don't think it's an awful idea. I've tried to choose +phys damage over attack speed with Onslaught in mind but unsure of what the dps output would be.
