1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

In order to run one aura, did someone test the node Mortal Conviction who is just across BM?

I tested it. With mana reduction gem aura takes about 24% of life.
But it is better to have more life IMO. It is getting a little dangerous on maps lvl71+ with aura reservation on life pool. I don't recommend it, unless you have crazy life leech and lots of armour.

So, what kind of flasks should this char run? Something like 5 instant life flasks? Would a granite flask for example be useful or not?

A a sidequestion, do granite flasks benefit from +% armor nodes of the tree?

I use this combo (Pact of Vaal so no life flask)


If Granite flask has xx% increased armour than YES- they benefit from AR nodes in the Tree.

Depend of maps. I use these. Always at least two flasks of life (increase movement and dispell frozen and chilled), the granite flask, the quicksilver flask abd one resist flask (default = amethyst flask):



I play with BM and without Vaal pact.

Hi, lvl 70 marauder with 3.7k lifes. I usu this combo of flasks...



quick combination to solve almost every problem is to press numbers 1 and 5 :)

+ movement i have in my boots

So I finally respect for auras at lvl 85.

Dropped blood magic, then took all of the reduced mana reserved nodes I can get to , 8,4,4,5 %.

Running 1is fine, it's just having 2 reduces my overall mana pool that much that the leech cannot fill up the non reserved bit enough.

Gonna be a work in progress I think. Though I don't have any respects so it's how my toon is now.

Do you have vall pact?

can you post your tree? very diferent to mine? im also thinking about tunning 1 aura at least

My flasks:

The 5th one will be a Granite Flask, but I haven't found a white one yet that I can craft.

On a different note, I am having trouble managing my resists. I have 153% Fire res (75%), but only like 16% Cold and 30% Light. I also have very little armor (~2100) which gives me low physical damage reduction, but CwDT with Molten Shell and Enduring Cry help a bit.
Will be doing a pretty big respec soon as I haven't used any of the 18 points awarded through quests and also have some Regrets lying around.

I'm about lvl 48 right now and I feel terribly squishy, I'd need a little help here. I can't manage to one shot white mobs with my ground slam and I feel like everything kills me easy. so here's my build




and here are my gear


I might not have best in slot but w/e. I'm nearly capped everywhere exept for negative chaos.
