I am trying this build. Having a hard time of it. Found a half decent Maul, but you said the rest can be shit gear. Well, I am trying to get ES up, but can not get any elemental resists. Dead all the time against elem damage. Pretty strong as all shit against physical damage.

My Shit Gear

Suggestions on build appreciated.

Well, you need ES gloves and boots to start with, because the rest of your pieces are low on ES, around 100 ES on each would be great. Then, your rings can easily pickup some slack, as the Ghoul Knot is well... pretty terrible, and the other is pretty bad for the build as well. your amulet is decent, but you really should use a Carnage Heart for the Leech and Stats. (And extra gore!!!)
Furthermore, Link Leapslam to Concentrated Effect, Faster Attacks, and Melee Physical Damage on Full Life in a 4L, because your tree will give enough Increased AoE to support it.

Nice one !
Good luck completing your gear.

I am looking for a super cheap Marohi to 4L and try it out

This is what I'm using, it's the only piece of expensive gear I have (expensive for me, I paid 3 exalts) and man does it rock. This build is hilarious, started facerolling maps with ease at level 61, killed piety before that no problem, rest of my gear cost maybe 1 exalt in total if that, you just leap around 1 shotting things. My last build was an EK build and he got owned by phys reflect maps at level 75, this guy can just smash phys reflect maps no problem at level 62.

Super awesome build dude, thanks for the share. I'm using btw for gloves, it doesn't add much tooltip dps at all but it adds another 300-600 phys damage or so and MAN is physical penetration amazing. My EK tooltip dps was about the same as my current leap slam tooltip dps but did nowhere NEAR this much damage, and I spent so much more on that build

Oh also with a 4L marohi with leap slam in it (I don't use concentrated effect) it works great with the amount of desyncing I get - all my previous leech builds got pretty screwed by desync, but it's REALLY hard to miss with such a fatty leap slam

why you need carnage heart when you are with ghost reaver? it just doesnt make sense.. but the build seems interesting.. need some proof that its worth trying.(i love CI and leapslam is a really fun skill!)

Carnage heart gives 6%-10% percent ES leech when you have Ghost Reaver.
And with Blood Rage you can achieve 15%+ life leech without having to link the
support gem to any of your skills.

Pm me whenever you are on at TheMidgetCowReborn or TheMidgetCow, I will hop on my slammer and faceroll a map of your choice for you :)

Also, the Carnage Heart is for the -Huge- amount of leech, resists, and stats. Mainly for the leech, but it is BIS unless you can finda 6% LL, 50 All attributes, 20% all resists, +ES amulet. (Onyx with 3 perfect rolls, insanely hard)

@Warbeak ---

Totally agree! Deshret's is interesting, but I don't care for the reduced Attack Speed :/
I prefer IAS gloves, got some on anarchy but not standard :/

im moderately interested in this build.. however i do not want to grind up to lvl 70 to enjoy the build... does armor is so needed for this build?

I'm 53 lvl with a Witch and at next level I'll take Resolute Technique so you can
spec to this build as soon as you get the needed Keystones.
Not optimal but if you can't wait like me you can do it.
Also with a pretty good weapon (map drop from another char) like the one I have

City of Sarn and Docks mobs die in one and some times 2 leap slams.
And I haven't taken any damage passive yet.

you can start enjoying the build at level 27 and leveling is super fast, I used these items in leveling and they allowed me to 1 shot everything up til level 57 where I switched to the marohi, everything else I wore was white that I picked up as I went, I was wearing level 12 boots and a level 20 helmet until level 53 and 58:



and of these items I'm still using the belt/amulet/physical gloves now at level 63. Took me just under 20 hours of gameplay to get to 63, fastest character I've leveled by far. I was using multistrike on my leap slam while leveling but would not recommend it, it hurts your physical penetration greatly, concentrated effect would be a much better option if you do not desync much, or maybe even if you do. Anyways, it's a terrific build


Also: I grabbed all the mace damage nodes up front and rushed resolute technique then vaal's pact since I had the carnage heart + wurm's, I'd recommend the mace damage nodes for sure if you're using a geofri's but not vaal's pact unless you have a ton of leech.

Sounds like you guys are doing the work of figuring out how to level the best for me XD, I am actually working on that part of the guide atm :-P

Webas, level 70 is not necessary, but that's where everything that is really necessary just "clicks", and you start godmoding.

Iron Reflexes + Grace + Determination and 3-4 granite flasks means he can have
that kind of armor every time.Oh and molten shell.

I have a 59 lvl ES armor but I don't know how many chromatics I'll have to spend
to get 3 red sockets.I got 2R3B but that won't do for a 5L Leap Slam.
I also played a little with my witch yesterday I'm now 50 and changed to CI 'cause I
couldn't wait (I love standard league).

The build is powerful from now actually.If you play as you should everything goes smoothly.
BR and with one Leap Slam mobs die.I saw in your first post you haven't linked to Leap Slam
Faster Attacks.I was changing skill gems and support gems with heavy strike and without
FA Leap Slam is way too slow,but as soon as my damage goes up more I don't think that'll be
a problem right ?

I also tried Flicker Strike + Melee Physical + Melee On Full Life = Pure Awesomeness !
But awful to play also.Wow that desync!

I call BS. Granites don't stack.
Pure ES gear = 15k armor top
