I've been running similar build I am in act 3 cruel atm. It's been going well so far, sure I had my ups and downs. Vaal on cruel was terrible though. I died a few times and needed to run to town, just couldn't tank him. I am lvl 47 I sit at 1k hp, 1k+ dps buffed 2k+ armor (unbuffed), also using molten shell for additional armor. What do you think I should do now? Get the rest of frenzy charges or go for marauder's resist circles? My res atm are 75/51/75/xx.

I just feel getting frenzy charges will be a mistake when I could just go for additional res/armor/hp from marauder's passive tree.

if you are struggling with killing mobs quickly enough - frenzy + dps nodes
if you have issues with surviving then health/armor/resists nodes are your friend.

keep in mind that in Merc melee is not that bad for us, but caster are and i would go for more health/resists as long as you are not struggling too much with damage. it is easier to trade for new weapons then get armor with health and resists.
I find life leech is not anywhere near as useful as life on hit when gemmed with your cleave.

65 duelist.

Also, I took the extra frenzy charge from Kraityn (One of the bandits) and got the one in the ranger tree with the % to evasion.


I get 6 frenzy charges and my armor goes up from 7.5k - almost 9k with frenzy charges up.

It takes me less than 2 seconds to get full frenzy charges with faster attacks gemmed to it.

Would you mind posting ur passive tree?

What is your opinion on Wrath?

I was thinking about getting the other Savant Node, a little to the left of the starting point, near the Blood Magic. It only is one Strength node away. It also helps if you run Enfeeble too.

Myself i am not that bothered by additonal buff to Ele damamge as i focus on high physical.
My current Wrath aura (when i have it on) adds like 5% damage. up from ~2100 to ~2200 so not huge. If i have a place for it in my gem slots i will use it. But now I am playing with spell totem+life leech (so it heals totem)+Arctic Breath and i find it much more beneficial this way then having Wrath aura.

Good point. What level is your Wrath? 5% damage probably isn't worth the 2 skill points as well as any additional intelligence items.

I have it up to level 8 however this was when i had an items with +25 Intelect. Now i can't use it so i was using level 6 but i just replaced it for more defensive skill (totem+arctic breath)

I think wrath could be feasible for this build. There is no reason why you can't run Grace, Anger and Wrath. With all my auras on I sit at about 1500+ HP in my MF gear, which is pretty fcking good seeing as how my MF gear has almost no + life.


Lava Lash is pretty awesome though... I can see getting ele damage nodes at later levels - 50+ and then maybe maximizing your ele dmg with gear.

I changed Wallach's build just a bit, added more damage with swords and a few other things. I also took away the Cannot be stunned node, as I don't see too much advantage to it. What do you guys think?



Also, I attached concentrated area of effect on my cleave, which makes it like 500dps stronger, it currently does almost 2000dps with 3 frenzy nodes. How come this support gem has not been suggested?

That pretty much means you won't be able to run maps. Unless you have the unique with the same effect.
