lifesteal marauder need help

Hello, first i'd liek to mention that im trying to build a charachter that is tanky enoguh to not get dropped by the sight of a mob and his sustainability would be great. The whole point is to sweep,ground slam, or leap (whichever has more aoe and dmg% for purposes of lifesteal) I focused on being tanky as well as grabbing certain nodes like blood magic (so i dont need mana stealing) iron grip(for damage) Vaal pact( makes healing yourself quicker)and iron reflexes (to make yourself tankier) along with resolute technique (always hit) You always want to hit so oyu can lifesteal your way to victory with grund slam or sweep and you never burn mana so you can cast forever, best allies would be those who use auras for more at spd and faster casting, not sure which or if both affect sweep/ground slam. ANy sugestions would be greatly appreciated as I am noob. I need a list of what weapons to use (dual, two hand, wp+sh) and what gems to get etc.Please help ty and heres the tree

hmm you have passive tree for dual wielding and 2h

at first, u dont need life on kill enemy, and delete those vaal pact, also u spand to much points on armor nodes, but with good gear u can avoid that nodes, also dont need that conversion from evasion to armor. This is my tree build and i use, leap slam, sweep,combine with warlord mark, also for solo using heavy strike, have 300+ hp/s regen and over 4000+ hp on 75lvl

try to use blood magic gems combine with skils and fast atacks, and u can save mana for auras, use mana reduce gem,and u can add 3 aura to use

also try to use max hp gear, at least 60+ on every item

Hi, it seems relevant to post a link to my post here.

Playing with faster attack/added melee dmg/lifesteal/ Cleave or Dual strike (/added fire dmg on my only 5l that is liked to dual strike)

My only advice would be to plan on getting massive MS if u want to play lifesteal, before getting it i was often kitted to death by increased movement speed bosses.

And i chosed not to take BM to be able to have %mana reduc aura, but that choice is up to you.

Regarding the build of OP:
- Plan the build out for 80-90 points, because thats the general build you will be mostly playing with.
- The 6% all resistance nodes shouldnt be taken. Why dont you take the Diamond Skin (15% all resistance) nodes which you can easily reach?
- Too many armor/evasion nodes.
- All the 4-8% physical damage nodes are not worth it.
- Some other nodes that are not worth

I also don`t like Sennkulas build too much, since he has these 6% resistance nodes as well (and 15% Fire/Cold/Lightning).

Regarding the build
Iron Grip is for ranged attacks (projectiles!). Doesnt seem you want to do that.
Than I don`t know if Vaal Pact is worth it (no flask and recovery).

If you wanna try it with Vaal Pact, I would go for something like this:

Or as a noob it is just best to follow a build of an experienced gamer.
Most (or all) marauders will use some kind of lifeleech, just mostly without Vaal Pact.

I like this build:

I am a huge fan of Leap Slam for the basic fact that it let's you easily move from mob to mob. When fighting those irritating ranged Chaos guys you can jump in a Triangle shape to prevent them from ever hitting you. My build is all about survival with Endurance Charges, life, Resistance, and Armor from Grace Aura.

Something that will make a night/day difference against tougher encounters is what I think is almost encounter breaking (while not quite considered an exploit). Use a Spell Totem combined with Summon Skeletons for an infinite barrage of skeletons that will occupy mobs much longer than a Decoy Totem.

There are some encounters that you will find getting up close to not be an option. For these few encounters, you will want a bow or a different ranged attack. The unique bow with the +2 gem level combined with poison arrow can do some great damage to anything not Chaos resistance. You could also just swap your Leap Slam and Ground Slam gems when you know the encounter is coming and use SHIFT to keep your character at range while slamming.

Obs





Might be a bit messy here and there but for.the skill tree I have reset points for more than 20plus times and still needs more.

Basically, offensive is your new defensive.

Now my HP is 2.6k and still adding more.

But the 2.6k sweep is enough to make me survive in mercy less dock without holding back.

Best of all, I never have to kite or avoid reflect physical mobs.

I don need to cast enduring cry to tank.(or at least for now).
