Skill Links

Active Skills

Spoiler
Groundslam > Life Gain on Hit/Life Leech > Melee Physical Damage > Added Fire > Faster Attacks

Heavy Strike > Life Gain on Hit/ Life Leech > Melee Physical Damage > Added Fire > Faster Attacks

Leap Slam > Faster Attacks > Melee Physical Damage > Added Fire

Life Leech is better from like, level 40 onwards, maybe earlier.

Self Buffs

Spoiler
Enduring Cry


Auras

Spoiler
Hatred/Determination > Reduced Mana

You wont be able to run both until later on when you have a high level reduced mana gem, hatred gives you more damage and determination increases your armor heaps.
(You can take the dex/intel node if you need it for hatred)
PS - Hatred is better earlier on.


Curses

Spoiler
Enfeeble/Vulnerability

You dont really need curses that much but you can use them if you want, they aren't bad. Enfeeble makes enemies do like barely any damage to you.

Also you will have problems with the stat requirements for these so if you do use them you will have to only level them a few times depending on how much intel you have.


Other

Spoiler
Decoy Totem

This shit can be really useful, you might not have enough space to run this and curses but idk, you might have to pick and choose.


Gear

Weapon

Spoiler
Use a 2 Handed Mace only.

The stat rolls you want on your mace are:
1. % Increased Physical Damage
2. Flat Increased Physical Damage
3. % Attack Speed
mods other than these don't matter for this build.


Armor

Spoiler
You want pure armor gear unless you find a godly hybrid armor/evasion piece.

You want Life on every piece of gear if you can. Other than that try and make sure your resistances are capped at 75% or at least 60+.

Life leech on rings/amulets is helpful but you can get by without it. Same for mana leech.


Flasks

Spoiler
Flasks start being important when you hit cruel which is the second difficulty. Try and have at least one Seething Flask ( instant recovery ) and you will need a Staunching Flask ( remove bleeding ) because not having that can get you killed from cruel onwards.


Bandit Rewards

Spoiler
Help Oak on all difficulties.

pasting the skill tree into PoE builder,

You seem to have filled in an axe circle, down next to unwavering stance.

Is that a mistake? as axes and ground slam don't mix
Also you have taken cleaving .. again axes ... and again ground slam only works with Staves or Maces.
"I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"
I will play one in 1.2 new league.

my passive tree:
https://www.poebuilder.com/builds/Jarkeld-ground-slam-staves-crit

its based on staves and some crit.

nodes: blood magic, vaal pact, maybe unwavering stance, depends on how it will work

skills:
4L: ground slam, multistrike, endurance charge on melee stun, life leech,
5L: 4L + added fire dmg
6L: 5L + X .. I will see (increased AoE, more phys. dmg, stun, inc. crit chance, ...)

wearing a staff, a second 6L is possible:
4L: heavy strike, multi strike/faster atk, life leech, stun
5L: 4L + added fire dmg
6L: X

(added fire > melee phys dmg, depending of lvl -> need vaal pact for phys reflect mobs)

aura: hatred

base life should be okay, and will hit 6K life easily.
7 end charges give the extra defense.
can even level with:
pillar of the caged god + abyssus + meginord's + phys. juwelery
until you find good pDps staff (maybe switch to rat´s nest + crit chance/multi with a good staff).

maybe try out avatar of fire + heavy strike with ele prolif and get some points into fire dmg @blood magic and inc. burning .. dunno yet (cant say anything pre 1.2 patch though)

Have you considered Precision and Versatility?
yeah, accuracy is a problem with that low dex, need dex on every item and hopefully can enchant accuracy rating on at least one item.

currently got via passives:
Accuracy Rating 28
Accuracy Rating +%54
Two Handed Melee Accuracy Rating +%40
(eagle eye next to vaal pact got a decent buff)

anyways, after 1.2 changes nothing is set atm
should be able to adjust build with a few reset points if needed easily.
Hello, is that guide is good for start the new Beyond league ?
