Marauder - [2.5 Video Guide] Beginners "End-Game-Viable" Tanky Cyclone Build - Forum

Can someone maybe post some examples of the kind of jewels I should aim to get? Because the only ones I have found so far have been rubbish.	Posted by Gurgeon#2821 on Aug 4, 2016, 1:54:02 PM Quote this Post

I did see it, thanks. I guess I just haven't been lucky with drops yet. Thank you so much for this guide; such a good and smooth transition into the game as my first character.	Posted by Gurgeon#2821 on Aug 4, 2016, 8:13:28 PM Quote this Post

Or will it be wasted with the -60% curse effectiveness on bosses? I am currently lvl 53 and am wondering which would be more imprtant for the end game. Also, I would then have 15% less mana reserved (I often run out of mana against bosses). If the extra curse would be better do you think TC/Enfeeble would be better for this build? How impactful is Hatred on dps? And if it is a good idea to go for the extra curse, should I get the passive in the top left of the tree (Whispers of Doom) or use Doedre's Damning Paua ring/Windscream reinforced greaves? Additional curse is not that great on this build. This is because both class used here are Champion and Juggernaut are 2 tankiest Ascendancy class in the game. Defensive curses should only be used when you don't have tanky mechanic and are prone to big hits (Enfeeble for preventing 1 shot and temp chain for manual dodge). What you need is more damage rather than more curses. Even putting points on increasing armour and physical mitigation/fortify would be better than using 2 curses. For end-game, all you need pretty much is granite flask with increase % armour for boosting defense.

Also, I have found one vaal haste and and hence have 2 extra gem slots (because I have 2 5 links) So I am running lvl 1 CWDT with lvl 3 flame golem and level 4 arctic breath with greater multiple projectiles (Possibly replacing greater multiple projectiles with Phase Run). Do you think this is effective? Or what else could I use? So my links are: Am replacing my gloves with these once I hit lvl 63: And for fun, my other gear in case anyone has advice: Last edited by Gurgeon#2821 on Aug 5, 2016, 9:40:34 AM	Posted by Gurgeon#2821 on Aug 5, 2016, 9:36:33 AM Quote this Post
So just a quick question, is everything in the OP still relevant or have there been changes that make the posted build need adjusting? Death Grips is pretty good tee bee aych	Posted by bisousbisous64#7051 on Aug 5, 2016, 5:18:16 PM Quote this Post

U can just stick strictly to the guide. Once u learn more about the game. U can then make some personal adjustment. But stick to the guide first	Posted by greendragon2194#4225 on Aug 28, 2016, 12:13:41 PM Quote this Post
Is this Death and Taxes viable?	Posted by Korach#4664 on Aug 28, 2016, 11:03:44 PM Quote this Post
Also, why the Belly of the Beast chest piece when other armors have better armor than it?	Posted by Korach#4664 on Aug 29, 2016, 4:44:32 AM Quote this Post
Hi Lifting (and all the other pros out there): I'm a relatively new player, got to lvl 70 and maps for the first time in 2.3 Ascendancy with an Earthquake build (also using one of your guides). Will this build work in the new Essence League 2.4 ? Any plans to update it, Lifting ? Looking into trying a new play style with the new league. Any suggestions, hints, tips welcome. ty in advance. Excellent guides, btw. - esp for complete novices who are baffled by tips such as "and fill the rest of the passive tree out by what you need ... " PS. Also posted in your Dual Totem Chieftain post - as considering that as well.
