My Cyclone DW Marauder Build

Hi peeps!

This is my first post on the forums, and it is also my first previously planned out build for a character.

I had an idea of making a duel wielding fast and strong slaughter machine out of a marauder. After looking through other marauder builds, I have created the passive skill tree and have chosen the skill gems that I'd like to use. So here it is:

Skill tree:


Gems: Cyclone, Blood Rage, Anger, Leap Slam(only cuz' it's fun for me), Warlord's Mark, Grace, and Dual Strike.

Okay don't go too harsh on me I didn't want to go full retard, but it's my first build and I've started few days ago.

Cheers, have tones of fun

Could be worse for a first build :) The life on hit and life on kill passives are not very worthwhile in my experience, unless you are using them as a shortcut to get to the other passives. Other than that, its pretty good. Main part will be picking the gear and skills/supports that will work best with the passives you have picked.

Try to play this build and you will see many ways to adjust and perfect it.

I was planing to heal myself from the life steals gained from cycloning. I've started doing this build, yet Im only lvl 5. I'll report on later maybe, how did it turn out :D I was wondering if I should add more physical damage bonuses or more attack speed bonuses through the passive tree, to get more life from life leech. What do you guys think?

btw thanks for the reply :D

Focus on more physical damage as opposed to attack speed for cyclone.

So far I am level 14 and I don't seem to meet the requirements of the cyclone gem I have, I lack dexterity, also imo my dmg is low cuz' it takes more to kill mobs than it did earlier maybe I should go for dexterity and physical or elemental dmg bonuses in the passive skill tree as soon as possible. What do you guys and girls think? How do people solve the problem of having too low dex to be able to use cyclone? Do they just wait till they reach the dex bonuses or is there another way for using cyclone from the start with marauder ? or maybe purchasing items with dex bonus?

Thanks for the replys, a have good day :D

Other thing I just found is going for verstility and that way I can gain some dmg bonus and also the required dexterity. However I'm guessing if it's worth those nodes, maybe I should just buy some items with dex bonus

The skill tree then would look something like this:

Pick up a dex or onyx amulet, or other items with dex. I play a cyclone character and I didn't like the skill early on.

Level 17 atm just got through Merveil I have stacked 4 attribute points now I can't decide if I want to go for Versatility for some dmg + and accuracy bonus or leave it. On the other side of the coin I have 45 dex now from items however I can't use cyclone till level 24. Everything is working great so far I think.
