1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Is this build still going strong into maps 70+? I notice a lot of the higher marauder ground slam builds I see people link don't get Blood Magic so that they can still run some auras.
Hello and thanks for reading. I just came back to POE after a 6 month break and have a full passive skill reset -- which is somewhat intimidating. Before quitting I had wasted currency trying to improve the gear I had found...I never purchased any gear from others, which was definitely a mistake.

Once in the 50s it seemed that I was too fragile. What gear changes do I need to pursue to improve (and what should be my priorities in doing so)? Like I said, I don't have much currency due to wasting it trying to upgrade my gear as a I leveled up.





Thanks again,
Shivver
Really, really useful- many thanks!

The only thing that I do not like about your gear is that your helm has no life on it. Now since I do not see your build at your current level I could not tell how important that helm is as far as resistances goes. You might be able to get a different helm and make some changes in other places where you can get more life and still keep the same resistances that you got right now.
With regard to 5-link and 6-link 2H Maces...

Obviously, what I want is the highest physical DPS I can get, but what would be the lowest physical DPS one would settle for when looking to upgrade from a 4-link to a 5-link or even a 6-link?

My Mace:



Which is approximately 386 pDPS. If I wanted to get the best value for my currency what pDPS should I try and get before committing to buying a 5-link? Somewhere in the 450 pDPS range?

Thanks.

This community is awesome!



Or you can get chest with more links, doesn't have to be weapon.
Under useful weapon mods you don't list physical life leech. While not a priority, it is very useful.

Would my 5-socket chest be of sufficient value to spend the amount of fusings necessary?

So this is how my lvl 68 has ended up, definitely very strong so far. Great guide but I would recommend getting the Versatility node so you can level up your faster attacks and use some hybrid gear
I'm about to try to beat dominus with him so wish me luck :)
I have a similar BUILD on my Templar.

Then decided to post here.
