I assume the Bandit order is "Oak, Skill point, Skill point"?


I run a very similar build and I went Oak/Oak/Oak. Stacking phys damage helps a lot with leeching, and another Endurance charge really helps.


I went Oak, Skill Point, Oak but Oak/Oak/Oak is fine too! I would probably trade that skill point for the phys damage now if I could.

I'll update the OP

Got a few more questions about the build real fast. Sorry.

Okay, I noticed in the final skill tree, you spec out of Blood Magic. Which auras should I be running while leveling? Right now I'm just using Hatred + Clarity because I'm level 23 and whenever I get into BM, I should switch for Anger and Wrath, right?
I noticed in the video that you put a point into the +phys damage node right at the start of the Mara tree but it's not specced on the actual URL to the passive tree so should I still spec it, or no?
Lastly, should I be using Enduring Cry and Warlord's Mark as soon as I get them?

Thanks!



While on BM don't use hatred! I used Grace and Anger while leveling (you could also use wrath). You could probably even get by just on Grace as the damage from wrath/anger is pretty low. Hatred just eats up way too much life.

Yeah grab that point while leveling especially and you can even keep it at end game, I just respeced it to a stun node recently that's why it's not there.

Yeah! Definitely use Enduring and warlord's all the time. Not only do they make leveling a lot easier by keeping endurance and flasks going but it also gets your muscle memory into shape for end game.

Just wondering will Marohi work with Cyclone build? or is infernal blow better?

Well, it would work but I don't think it's worth using for a cyclone build, you're better off with Kaom's Primacy or better yet Soul Taker if you are looking for a unique weapon. My thought is that the excessively slow attack speed will counteract the increased AoE.

Any reason that you don't run Determination while leveling instead of Grace?

Determination is a % aura, not good if using BM keystone.

Man, what I wouldn't do for a 6L Marohi (or any Marohi, I guess). Get some quality on IB and Melee splash to amp everything even more.

Hello,

I play a similar build on my lvl 85 marauder. I just have one question though.

I am running maps on 4k hp with 5 auras and about 10.5k armouur. I just wanted to know whether or not it would be advisable to drop Unwavering stance at a high armour level coz i reach 77% phy dmg reduction with 6 endurance charges and 90% with the granite flask.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks
I tried this a while ago since GS started to get boring. Overall it was good, but i think it requires Mahori or alot of AE radius increase(high quality MS/IB gems) to work well, and i don't have one yet.

Also it feels like i'm sometimes missing the hits, even though i have Resolute.
