[2.1] RT Marohi Erqi Sweep or any other AoE skill of your own choice ~WIP~

Hi all,

This is a build I designed myself which is still a work in progress (level 68 atm). It focuses on high evasion (from gear mainly), with high AoE and fairly good damage.

Playing evasion feels great so far as nothing gets close to me due to Sweep's in-built ability to knock enemies back which makes the build easy to play with, since you will never get crowded.

The reason for creating this build was mainly due to the fact that I got sick and tired of playing as Duelists and Marauders for 2H builds, and so I decided to try something different as the wait for Ascendancy felt too long for me.

Screenshots and videos will become available over time.

Advantages & Disadvantages


Advantages

* Great AoE - Currently 63%
* Fairly good damage - 21K Town DPS and 27K Buffed
* High Evasion - Evade most attacks!
* Free Endurance charges (on leap slam)
* Fairly low investment - 2 Ex or below minimal investment


Disadvantages

* Not as fast as your typical Crit based builds.
* Takes a little while longer to reach Resolute Technique.
* At most will squeeze out 30K DPS, unless you switch out to a higher DPS Mace or get a 6L Marohi
* Not really suited for new leagues, however Marohi Erqi has always been cheap to buy :)


Gear and Main skill setup



Note: The Carrion Finger still needs life crafted.



4L setup: Sweep + Multistrike + Melee Physical + Added Fire Damage
5L setup: Sweep + Multistrike + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Added Fire Damage
6L: setup: Sweep + Multistrike + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical + Added Fire Damage + Blood Magic/Fortify

Thi 6L setup enables you to drop the mana leech nodes and pick up Arctic Armour instead for more defence. Alternatively you could keep the mana leech and go with Fortify instead.


Screenshots

Will be posting soon once the build is more or less complete.

Videos will become better overtime since this is my first video.


Regarding Ascendancy


The Passive tree remains the same, however I will more than likely go towards the Raider class.

Further details will be added later.

Hey I was kinda thinking on the same page as you. But I was thinking Leap slam build and here's why. Leap slam ignores weapon speed and has a base speed of 1.4. I thought it would be sick to be a ranger holding that beefstick.

W/ Leap slam we can do:
1. Leap Slam
2. Blood Magic
3. Melee Physical
4. Fortify
5. Conc. Effect
6. Weapon Ele Dmg

We can use 3 auras if we do that.
Hatred + Herald of Ash + Grace

We can run Iron Will and resolute technique
We can run Blood Rage for additional *more dmg and life leech
CwDT Phase run for even more dmg boost.


Helm
1. Animate Guardian
2. Minion Life
3. Fortify // Blood Magic
4. Fire Golem

Armor
1. CwDT (1/3 of hp)
2. Immortal Call
3. Blood Rage
4. Increased Duration
5. Arctic Breath
6. Molten Shell

Gloves
1. Hatred
2. Herald of Ash
3. Grace
4. Vaal Haste

Boots
1. CwDT (lvl 1)
2. Phase Run
3. Enduring Cry
4. Blood Magic

Weapon
1. Leap SLam
2. Blood Magic
3. Melee Physical
4. Fortify
5. Conc. Effect
6. Weapon Ele Dmg

Or something like that. You got any videos?

I`ve never really been that interested in Leap slam but I like the fact that it has its own base attack speed. In regards to the setup, using WED would not be very beneficial for the build as it does not focus on dealing elemental damage at its core (mainly physical) so Multistrike would be a much better choice.

Another thing to note is that Iron Will converts the melee damage bonus from Strength into Spell damage instead and that the CWDT + Phase Run setup would work but I prefer to always keep my Frenzy charges up since Marohi has low attack speed.

I am still making changes to the character and will update this thread later on in the week, hopefully with a video, as I am busy preparing for Ascendancy and leveling other characters in the meantime.

Your other skill setups seem fine, however it will be difficult to run Hatred + Grace + HoA together due to additional mana reservation required.
I tried it for a bit. Did not run grace. Was not as cool As I thought. Had about 10k dps on a 4 link marohi. All the gems were low level though. The AOE was too small for my liking :(. Might be a bit better w/ melee dmg on full life since we leap into a packs and hopefully hit them b4 we get hit.

Oh, multistrike will no longer work w/ leap slam. Might work better w/ pathfinder and onslaught flasks. I'll keep this char up my sleeves.
