1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Patch v2.02 is on and brings some minor changes to the build (one's that has been suggested by one of the forum user. I can't find his nick/post. If he would like to mention himself with quote of his post - i'll mention him at the first page.

Also I want to apologize you, that I did not answered to many questions you've asked in few days. Hopefully there are people that help each other, and answer those questions. Thank you for this!

Currently I'm working on rebuilding Skill Gems section, as it looks like complete mess, doesn't it?

wow.. so you're not doing Reckless Abandon anymore? Why?
+12% dmg, w/2H weapons and +4% attack spped sounds good?

Sounds good, but not for 3 points. Rather for one.

What's with the random strength +10 point to the right of Blood Drinker? It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

How about this one for faster access to Resolute and Bloodmagic, without refunding etc.

Went with EC and the other 15% all resists. Could go for Iron Reflexes instead of

@upup
Would you like to screenshot this node, because my this night my brain defenetly does not work properly. I just can't see it.

@up
wtf did you do with right part of the tree? this strange Resolute Technique-Blood Magic connection?

Slow attack speeds is a definite issue with this build. Maybe readjust to better suit faster enemies?

Op,

I was trying to make a Lightning bow ranger then realized I could turn my Ground slam mara into a Lightning bow Mara.

I hadnt put any points into endurance or mace skills yet. Just Resolute technique and Blood magic... 27 points.

and i could still dual class for MANY lvls more if my next major node is Iron Reflexes (plus the smaller nodes of berserk, trolls blood and diamond skin), then Unwavering stance, then Fitness in the Templar tree.

Now the hotswap weapon button comes in handy!
ground slam for swarm, then hit X for my bow/quiver and pick off archers/spell casters.

or be mainly a Lightning Bow Mara then hit X for Ground Slam if i'm overrun.

Love new discoveries like this! :)

By the time i hit Fitness, i should have a good idea on what type of toon this Mara will be.
then select the mace/endurance or elemental dmg/Iron Grip nodes.


Edit:
I already have a few act1 green gems i found with my Mara.

Edit2:
Got a +20 Onyx amulet (+20 to all stats) with +9% elemental dmg.
And just found out Mara's get the Weapon Elemental Damage support gem.
now leaning towards Lightning Bow Mara

Sigh, I will have to reset two points, to save one.

Nevermind.

But I have question about Reckless Abandon. 3 points for 18% dmg and 4% att spd. It`s a good deal? Won`t be better if I put this points in Diamond Skin (btw. 2x Diamond Skin will stack?).

Maybe I`m damn ninja?
Someone have ~70lvl+ on this build? Please tell ur ground slam DPS. I thinking about Cold Crit Witch, but if she won`t have better damage (someone tell he have 5500 DPS on ~70-80)I think mara will be better because have better survi.
