POHX IS BACK! Inform me if you want Updates 2H Leap Slam Guide you've all been waiting for!

.(edited)

went back to Ground Slam

Pohx, Started a marauder with the intent of going this build. I rarely post much on the boards since early early beta lol.

Quick question, why do you wait until the 61-80 leveling period to add in Catalyse? You have all the nodes around it but skip over it for so many levels .. ?

I usually put it in around level 45, I was half asleep when I posted the guide so I must of forgot to put it in lol xD

Is the +40 HP from Normal Oak really worth it? I've killed him already, but I figured that the skill point would be more beneficial than 40 HP?

40 HP x all your hp % nodes

Quick update here. Now lvl 43 with this build. Act 3 normal got a little tough towards the end but nothing too bad.. Now im in act 2 cruel and i am LOVING this build. I do have a question though.. How high should I level up each of my support gems before mana loss is too great? Currently im running blood magic/leap slam/life leech on my axe.. Heavy Strik/Weapon elemenal dmg on my boots, warlords mark is currently on my chest piece and is not linked to anything, same with blod rage and molten shell. As long as I cast warlords mark on a mob or group of mobs it allows me to stay above 80% hp on most fights, if I don't cast warlords mark mobs tear through my hp though even with all the regen I have.. A few more questions

1.. Does lvling up blood magic DECREASE the amount of hp that is taken from my healthpool when I cast leap slam? I saw when I lvled it to lvl 2 it went from 245 mana cost multipler to 242..

2. How high should I lvl up life leech/blood rage/warlords mark and molten shell? Currently life leech is lvl 2 and still 1% life leech.. If I keep increasing this will the extra mana cost become so high that blood magic will startto take away too much hp again? or should I keep lvling it till it bumps up to 2% life leech or more? Molten Shell I have lvled to lvl 9 and its currenty 46 mana, which is high but I only use this skill against bosses or tough rare mobs for the extra armour.. Blood rage I usually don't run at all against chaos mobs because although my elemental resistances are all above 55% (cold is maxed and fire is near maxed) my chaos resistance is still negative 15 because I just can't find any good chaos gear...

3. What should I link to Blood rage , Molten Shell, Hatred and Warlords Mark?

4. What should I aim for in chaos resistance? NONE of my current gear has chaos resistance, and I can't seem to find any gear that I can actually use with this guy that has chaos resistance as well.. Currently its not a problem but I have a feeling once I get into act3 or merciless difficulty i'm not gog to be able to handle a lot of the mobs..

5. Does the reduced mana gem reduce the amount of hp that is taken away if linked with blood magic?

i'm in the process of upgrading all my gear to 4 links minimum so I can sttach the proper gem links to all my support skills.. I'm going to continue trading for better gear to get my resistances as high as possible before I bear act3 on cruel..

Once Last thing, here is my current build:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAdwCcQSzC2EUTRkuGjgb-iECIVUn7Sr2MfsyiTrYTdhQUFRJV-JYY1nzXz9yqXfleA15aHuMfNmMdozPkFWiAKQZp4SpaKyqud2-isAawQTG2NSP3D3nUuw47w7wH_Iv9kg=

Any advice as to where to head next? SHould I head down to Unwavering Stance first? Head to Iron Reflexes so I can get a lot of extra armour from my evasion? Currently being stunned hasn't been an issue at all.. If anyone could add on to my skill tree that I posted above as to give me an idea I would really appreciate it, being so close to beating cruel I don't want to screw things up now because i am finally starting to see the power in this build..

Well, the build just turned to shit for me against elemetal resist mobs.

55 now on HC. Today i will kill piety. But i'm a bit afraid of playing this build further in merciless. Armor isn't that high and Iron Reflexes u reach very late but i'm still next to the armor and evasion nodes. Brutus could kill me maybe with 2 Hits or something now. Got no faster Attack Gem until now. And i'm very careful and afraid of using blood magic or blood rage. Especially Docks u have to be very careful. I think about using Ground slam and lightning strike for merciless. Dont know how the experience is using Leap Slam on merciless.

My current Stats are (unbuffed):

536 Armor
2388 Life
Fireresi: 38
Coldresi: 47
Lightningresi: 59

Currently i use "Purity" as my aura if no one else in the group uses that. And i play with Decoy Totem if there's a dangerous pack like Flicker Strike etc. So totem + Lightning Strike.
Piety will be np. But i think about how to go on on merciless or if there's no problem with that build.

try adding the armor aura. I think it's called Wrath.

Leap Slam has actually been more helpful to men due to Flicker mobs and high health/damage gold bosses.

Thx bro. Yeah good Idea. Still strong now on lvl 60 farming ledge on merci and got faster attacks, that' awesome. One more question. If i take the Mana notes next to the armor and evasion nodes and decide to use blood magic. Does mana reg influences my hp reg if i go blood magic then?
