I'm building a Marauder myself following your build and then come across this build from exilepro http://www.exilepro.com/builds/marauder/528-marauder-rain-of-arrows-sniper/build just want to ask your expert opinion on comparison between your build and this build?

That build has no alchemist and thus will have to use lifeleech in addition to blood magic.
He tries to compensate the huge damage loss by using another damage support instead of increased area of effect, which basically turns RoA´s AoE into a very tiny radius (due to concentrated effect).

I have seen RoA without increased area and i have tried it out myself.
The map clearing speed goes to crap without increased area of effect.
In addition to that, static blows is rather useless on RoA because RoA hits for a lot with a single hit....
In my case I 1 shot pretty much all white packs. If i crit blue packs they are instagib.
Rares are almost 1 shot with a critical strike, and mostly die to 4-5 standard RoA attacks.
There isnt much room to take advantage of the shock stack.

The rest of the tree is pretty similar except that the level of the passive tree is different.
I dont think people realize how strong alchemist is.
On my main flask (the first one in the flask tab) i would get 3767 health over 8 seconds.
With alchemist i get 5247 over 8 seconds.
Thats 40% more health regained over the same time period.
If you have stronger flasks you can rely on them as your source of heal and thus free up the life leech slot.

I always have the lifeleech support in my second weapon slot in case i would ever need it, but the only time the additional heal is necessary (if you are using alchemist) is inside of maps with lower health regeneration AND elemental reflect.

Turning RoA into an almost single target skill is not the best use of the skill imo.

Thanks, so I should aim for a bow with high physical damage correct? Is Lioneye bow a good choice (but seems pretty expensive for my budget)

so i just got my alphas howl and have been using ur trick
i have noticed that not only do you keep your auras on wen u swap from town, but u also keep the +2 to the skill evne without the howl on
so wud it technically be better to have 3 auras in the alpha howl and jus make a duplicate color of ur regular helm

"

do skil gems go over level 20 with bonuses?

"

also how do u have +5 max from purity when it only goes to 4? is it from inner force?

"

ALSO honourhome, the lowlife reduced mana cost, do you think this can replace alphashowl? i dont have one of these so i cant try it, wud make it a much cheaper way to get 7 auras
