Next Goal is Wrecking Ball and the 3 Life nodes on the way to that one in the duelist area.


My Mana problem is solved too.
Head: 4Links: Determintation, Vitality, Hatred, reduced mana
Weapon: 4 Links as of now: Heavy Strike, Melee Physical, Faster Attacks, Blood Magic
Chest: 4Links: Leap Slam, melee Pyhsical, Faster Attacks, Blood Magic
Gloves: 4 Links: Molten shell, iron Will, Warlords mark, Blood magic
Boots: 4 Links: Grace, Anger, Blood Magic, blood rage.

Size of Mana Pool is no Problem, Mana Regeneration neither.
With 3400 Life its no Problem running all that shit on Blood Magic, even without all that leech provided by warlords and Blood rage i can not cast/attack fast enough to loose all that much life.

Downside of not having unwavering Stance is: Block and Stun recovery is needed. The Weapon of choice has as much Phys damage as possible, attack speed. Elemental is a nice boost in damage numbers but the leech from the physical damage keeps you alive.

you can save a point going this way instead

you can also get unwavering stance by unspecing from the 3 % melee nodes at the deulist starting area and the one i mentioned above... i personally didn't get those 3 % melee nodes because i had a good enough weapon so i wasn't lacking in damage; If you are lacking damage then i guess it makes sense to get them...

____________________________________________________________________________________
EDIT: i just noticed you use blood magic for leap slam, I personally find it a waste in a 4 link because you dont deal enough damage(which is probably why you took those 3 % melee nodes?), if you get a mana leech ring or the unique leech belt than it will be enough to leech back your mana so you dont need to use blood magic for it...

Here's my links:

Helm: Blood Magic, Enduring Cry, Decoy Totem(temp), Warlords Mark
Chest 5L: Glacial Hammer, Melee Physical, Added Fire, Weapon Elemental, Faster Attacks
Weapon 5L: Leap Slam, Melee Physical, Added Fire, Item Qty/Life Leech, Faster Attacks
Gloves: Reduced Mana, Temp Chains, Blood Rage, Vitality
Boots: Reduced Mana, Hatred, Grace, Determination

My Leap Slam is 7K dps and glacial hammer is around 17-18K dps

Note: I use the unique blood magic chest to cast Grace so it reserves ~150 life so i have about 140 mana left to use my skills...

How is your Leap Slam 7k ? You got Marohi Erqi maul?

I got Kauri Chopper 5L, im pure marauder with BM, got LS+LoH+added fire+added meelee+FA leap slam near 3,5K

My friend got best weapon in game the Marohi Erqi 6L, he tryd the combo of Leap+LoH+add fire+add meelee+fa+conc effect and got Leap Slam to 8K

Just curious how to boost dps other then top weapon, thx in advance.

EDIT: also interested in this build cause im classical Blood Magic marauder with grace/anger US+IR+RT. I see you got life leech in leap slam? i use LoH cause it heals me instantly, just jump in tons of mobs in lvl 70 map and leap slam them, hit granite or hp if needed, but thats mostly not, im level 76.

So just looking if the aura marauder is more effective? thanks for your feedback

Its 7k with this weap:

The reason its so high is because of the attack speed, i have near the highest roll on my weapon. I went pure leap slam and I do 1.75 APS w/o blood rage; with blood rage its around 2 APS, the reason attack speed is so important is because as pohx said, you get to a point where you just keep leap slamming and you literally take no damage because you attack faster than the stun duration lasts so the mobs stay stunned :)

with conc effect its around 10K :) i plan to run conc effect and inc aoe/life on hit/leech when i 6L my chest or weap... marohi is good but i feel the negative attack speed kinda kills it for leap slam because leap slam's attack speed does not get modified by the default attack speed of the weapon; Leap Slam has a default set attack speed of 1.0 APS and it only gets modified by % increased attack speed from passives and on gear/weaps. So the marohi is effectively -35% attack speed to leap slam compared to a weapon with +25% inc attack speed. The marohi i think is purely a ground slam weapon.

I haven't tried a blood magic marauder yet so i can't really comment on it... but i feel like this build is best for pure Leap Slam because it's a good balance of attack speed/dmg and defenses/life. Also the ability to run percentage auras like grace, determination, and hatred(which adds a good ammount of dps) just makes the buid even better because grace and determination with Iron Reflexes passive scales extremely well!!

here's my passive tree if you wanna take a look:

good point on the life on hit, i'll have to try it out!

@Passionlz Thanks for the feedback! :))

Yeah i really know what you speak about :)

With my old weapon my AS was 1.94 and leap slam 0.62 with blodo rage i was immortal the life on hit you gotta try it just heals u each time the mobs hits you

now i use AS 1.54 and leap slam 0.72 its still viable for LoH with or w/o blood rage.

I really need to find weapon like you have ^^ my build is almost same as yours here:


only diff is the blood magic, i run grace,anger and sometime wrath, so only diff is determination witch i see irelevant, and hatred , witch is very good boost in my opinion, if i try this build i would prolly run Haste.

So as i see it the 3k diff in DPS is your ultimate weapon and hatred aura, or insane gear at, good work at all, thanks for you share :-)

EDIT:Also you use some mana regen item or is the default regen enought for leap slam?

EDIT:Also you use some mana regen item or is the default regen enought for leap slam?

Yeah i use a mana leech ring to be able to leech back my mana spent quickly(which is very very nice :) ) the default leech is not enough so you need mana leech on gloves or a ring or you can use the unique leech belt...
With all my auras up i have about ~140 mana left to use for skills...

That karui is probably the best unique for leap slam (even though it doesn't have attack speed) because of culling strike. In your case, since you hit slow, you need to hit hard.

What i recommend you do is get the 2 4% increased area nodes by templar and then use conc effect gem with leap slam, your dps will go up by alot and you will only lose 10% area radius instead of 18% now. the only problem is you'd have to give up either life hit or melee/fire dmg because you dont have a 6L yet... I think your damage would still go up without melee/fire dmg gem; just have to experiment with it a bit and see which combination gives more dps...

Sounds all great! thanks for your tips man :-) will maybe try manarauder with some leech ring :) bb

Hi guys,

This is my first marauder and first char in this game, I love it (D3 is unistalled now!), my orignal goal with this char was to make a dps build (2h) but I was a noob I didn't know you needed high HP in this game.
Since then I respected a few point from damage to % life increase

Here is what my build looks like at level 62:



I currently have 2.6k HP and act1 merc isn't too hard, I just spam leep slam and heavy strike for 1v1. What should my aim be in order to kill mob fast enought and no die too often for end game ? more hp/resist or more dmg node ?
I was thinking maybe diamond skin or body and soul (10 resist all) in order to get better resist, or should i just forget resist (get it with rings, gear) and max my dps/hp ?

Thanks for helping and great thread !

Salut !

Forgot to link my current weapon :

1050DPS right now at level 64.

and here is my leep slam gems bonus

Faster Attacks is the most important for leap slam in my opinion, put it there instead item quantity:)

Thanks for your tips hugorx
Didn't know such gem existed, I see it's green gem, can I use a chromatic orb to change the color of only 1 socket or will it randomize all the socket of the item ?
Back to feelshire farming ;)

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a heads up that I may be coming back to PoE or atleast trying to get back into it. Seems like once I left they started patching it lol

IF I do end up coming back I promise to update/tweak the guides as well as release any content videos you all would like to see, I'll also promise to have a proper schedule for streaming this time as well lol

Just to confirm I still don't know if i'm coming back or not, i'll probably wait a few more weeks to see how the patching along with balance changes go
