hy.

I am very interested in your build.

But!!!

First of all I am level 51 marauder, second I dont have Mjolner not gear as close as yours.

And could you please tell me how to level up to come to here?

Should I just follow your tree and use weapons as I find them or should I go one kind of weapon?

Please help.

If you have Volls Devotion than you can start using Mjolner as soon as you can wear it. It will carry you to the very end-game.

lvl 63 tree: http://tinyurl.com/gnog5af
lvl 68 tree: http://tinyurl.com/jecaelj
lvl 73 tree: http://tinyurl.com/j4cvzvq
lvl 79 tree: http://tinyurl.com/hxe5tgs
lvl 83 tree: http://tinyurl.com/jktesal

However if you dont have Volls Devotion than this build will not work as it should be. You can still start using Mjolner whenever you can but in order to have some dps boost and leeching you need to swap Kingsguard for Daressos Defiance, Iron Will in Mjolner for Life leech and grab Vaal Pakt from the passive tree. But this is budget option with budget results. It will work fine but untill about T12 maps. Single target dmg and healing both will be somewhat cripled compared to Volls Devotion and Kingsguard mechanics. Forget about facetanking T12+ bosses with this. Packs clearing will be fine thuogh. This is the tree that I would use in case of no Volls Devotion:

And put Fertile Mind jevel near Vaal Pakt.


EDIT: Added lvling section, required gear section in the guide, also some additional info on other gear options.

Really interested in your build but these links are not working anymore.

Dunno why. New links:

Build looks very awesome, but sadly not something I can attain in Perandus (most likely) lol. Though I am running with a budget mjolnir templar build, very tempted to test this one out as I have a marauder sitting at ~60. Would cost a lot of regrets though lol.

I'm not big on mjolner builds but something here doesn't make sense to me. Why take unflinching instead of unbreakable in juggernaut tree, and instead spend 2points for stun immunity instead of 2points for a charge in the regular tree. You would get a ton more armor with everything else the same. I really doubt you get that many procs from the 20% when hit mechanic.

For 12% aps? Honestly both Unbreakable and Unflinching are mediocre...

However, it seems that Unflinching could be used with Scold's Bridle to obtain Endurance charges efficiently.

nice!

I'm using this, lvl90 :

My Build:


My current gears:


Mobs clearing speed is always good, but single target.. meh.. I'm unable to kill T13+ boss...
It seems.. like an end-game build.. that can't handle end-game content.. XD and ele reflect are a no go since T5+

any tips? what should i improve? gear? what first? or skill tree?

Sorry bro but both :) Start with the tree.

You're missing important Key nodes:

- Arcane Potency, Annihiliation, Aplify, Occultist's Dominion for a total of:

60% spell crit multi, 175% spell crit chance, 36% dmg increase


That is HUGE loss. You wont cover that with your jevels in any way.

Remember that crit chance for your Discharge means also applying shock for 50% MORE dmg.


As far as gear goes, there are 2 problems.

First is the problem in your jevels. You're trying to compensate for dmg/crit loss from tree (but you wont be able to) while you should be focussing on attack speed. Attack speed is next thing that you wont badly with this build. You should have at least 5.5 aps with your Molten strike and this is done mainly via quality gems, Juggernout passives and jevels.

Also theres no attack speed on your gloves.


Second gear problem are your gems.

Some very important are missing 20% quality and that is:

- Faster Attack and GMP in your Molten Strike link for additional 30% attack speed increase.


Discharge is lvl 19 not 20.


You're using Arc in your Mjolner and you should be using Baal Lightning which gives FAR MORE dmg vs single target (and that is written in the guide). Basically Baal lightning generates Power Charges via Romiras Banquet per EVERY hit vs shocked/burning enemies NOT per skill cast as it should be. You can see that for your self with my test videos that I've recorder back in 2.1 vs Daresso using my old RT build. Its recorded in 60fps so can be watched in slow motion to veryfi whats going on. With Arc build generates 3/2 charges on average vs single target. With BL with the same aps, gear, gems, tree etc its 5/5.

Arc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKJsB7JDBY
BL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvymMic3T8Q


This mechanics is still present in 2.2.


Hope that helps.

You're incorrect about how Ball lightning interacts with Romira's.

Test it yourself by manually casting it. It only will generate a power charge on the first hit.

Also, if running a crit Mjolner build, Discharge should always be the first in the links. Why? Because if the other spell crits first you'll lose all the charges that you gained from your basic attacks.

Stop repeating common knowledge and encourage yourself to test and verify by yourself. Not all of the common knowledge is 100% accurate. I now what I'm talking about. Read my post again this time carefully, watch the videos (in slow motion) to see this hidden (possibly bugged) mechanic in action. You can also read the discusion here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1351140/page/16/#p11730675

Now having that clarified this

is also wrong. You want that BL flying to generate you as much charges as it can before Discharge. But this is less of an issue as things gets averaged in longer fights.
