EK Maurauder + Auras + Iron Will No Eldritch 353% Life. Faceroll! [tested + updated]

I thought it might be better to go BM then to use BM gems to save the slot and because the mana cost is huge with BM gem, but downside is that you cannot run as many auras. How can you have enough life regen to support the high costs of EK with those gems?

Iron Will has no mana multiplicator. so manacost aint that high. combined with life leech i dont think its gonna be a problem at all.

I know that Iron Will doesn't cause extra mana, but blood magic has a 245% mana multiplyer which combined with the already high mana cost of EK seems like it would cost alot to cast it.

its 50*2*1.3*1.3

Seems interesting, i feel the "Ground slam" marauder is not wanted at endgame maps at all =( im running solo maps hardcore at lvl 76 might respec into this to actually be able to get a group.

hatred damage applys to ek because its physical conversion i believe

Saw this post last night and it got me thinking. I lost my main char yesterday and ive been trying to find a new build. I am going to go with this

this is level 70 version


this is max Lvl (subject to change)


Not going with added fire/ignite from the original build because I think chain is better and I would rather use the points in crit and burning damage elsewhere.

Skills will be
5link EK, BM, chain, iron will, life leech
4link Purity, determination, hatred, reduced mana
4link Bear trap, bear trap, added fire, BM
4link Decoy totem, Grace, reduced mana, BM
3link Enduring Cry, faster casting, BM
3link Molten shell, vulnerability, BM

Ill use grace without blood magic if there is enough mana left with a leveled reduced mana gem on the other 3 auras, I dont know if there will be.

Will use all armor and armor/evasion gear and Ill be using dual wands end game with spell dmg, cast speed and projectile dmg. Might use a shield earlier depending on if i think i need it.

Looking for suggestions to improve on the above build if anyone has any ideas to make it better.

dont think its worth all the points towards the witch - better get more life + armour.
Not so sure about the unwavering stance investement. my original plan was to run projectile weakness. added fire + burning is ALOT.

4link Decoy totem, faster casting, cry, BM
3link grace reduced mana, BM (if you even need the bm- played a little yesterday only 30. long way to figure that one out)

I intent switch to Ek Bm LL around 40.

I was looking for a EK build and this one sounds good , but I have a few question for you . Looking to the EK skill it asks for DEX ( dont know how much DEX at full lvl on gem ) but looking to your build you use a few DEX nodes compared to the INT or LIFE nodes , so my questions are :


1 - Are this build gear dependant ?
2 - If not , when you go downside in the passive tree to get the DEX nodes ? around what level ?



*Sorry for caps in the "key words" ( dex , int , life , EK... ) and sorry for my english , its not my first lenguage hehe

you need dex anyway to level grace. if you wanna run no grace i think you need around 100 at max level. check out http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki for everything you wanna know. they cover most of the basic stuff.

and well pick up dex and int notes when ever you need them. i dont think this build is gear dependant at all. you should priotize life resist and armour over anything else. onyx spell power/cast speed/crit neck if you can get it. cast speed rings. crit + spell damage Daggers or crit + spell damage + cast speed + projectile speed wands. i would pick up iron reflexes around 60.
