I don't remember when I last used my mana flask :) Maybe it is time to switch it to chaos resist flask.

Now try Pact of Vall (if You don't have it yet).
It cost lots of regrets to respec those life regen points, but You may love it (depends on how much life leech you have).

To be fair, you have killer gear :)

I'd love to try Vaal Pact, but I don't know if I can swing it yet. I don't have a Carnage Heart (I only have 2% life leech right now, and that's because of Blood Drinker) and with my limited funds I'm trying to get gear with more mana leech since I often run out of mana. Mana regen on gear in addition to leech doesn't seem very helpful considering how slow it is unless you have a ton of mana.

Edit: at 10k total dps, 500 mana with Mana Flows, and 2% mana leech, I seem to have passed the mana hump and I can now bang away at enemies with Hatred up and little worry about running out of mana.

first of all, thx a lot for this build...it's my first ever POE-char.

lvl 69, 4131 life, max cold/light res, 4x fire res, -48 chaos res. DPS 3851 with GS and 7425 with HS, 3781 armour, ~ 38% phys dam reduction

that's my current gear:

the maul is new, this is the previous one::

what i REALLY don't understand is that when i switched to the new maul, my leap-slam didn't increase while ground slam and hevay strike DID go up.


any idea why?

besides that, any other suggestions to improve? im thinking of replacing the glacial hammer gem (never use it anyway) with a cast when damage to taken in order to always have molten shell up..

guys? :)

@Tempada

Ok, Pact of Vall is not for You, not in this moment.
Heart of Carnage should be your next upgrade, at least 8% leach. It makes all the difference in the world (for this build).

And You have not seen a killer gear yet... Like legacy soul taker for 120 Exalted with legacy Kaom's Heart for another 120 exalted :P
Mine is good but affordable for everyone after a few dozens of hours farming orbs :) Only my Marohi is worth some Ex, rest is rather very cheap.

@elloy

I don't have a clue.. New one has greater DPS and greater damage per swing.
So every attack should gain dps from it.

Try cast when damage taken with enfeeble or Warlord's Mark. Plus Enduring Cry. If you can put it all in 4L than maybe add Molten Shell. But it will not be always..
Maybe if You keep it on very low lvl with lvl1 Cast. But it is pointless because low level Molten shell is very weak (very low added armour).

I have 3 characters above level 70, and I'm still not sure what the ideal way to farm is. I feel like I hardly make any currency, but perhaps that's because I've never completed a map above level 68? I'd be grateful if you could give some pointers.

I farm maps 70-72 lvl. For farming I use "increased quantity" skil (20%) and those:


I try to make map with at least +40% quantity.
Somethimes I get 3 chaos from one map, plus lots of yellow items which I can sell for alternations in vendor. Alternetions for Jewelers, jewelers for Fusing, fusings for chaos, and chaos for Exalted.
I hardly find any items worth trying to sell...

Maybe You should focus on one character, make it as strong as possible and use it to farm fast..

So you recommend selling Fusing instead of Alternation or Jeweller's in order to get Chaos? Do you just sell in trade chat? Do you bother with Chaos recipes? Thanks for the advice.

ofc chaos recipe is good, sell undefined items and you get 2 chaos

Hi, first thx for this guide its easy to understand and im looking forward to try the Maurauder!

I havent played PoE in a long time, so before i start this Character i wanted to ask if this build is still viable for new Players?
Can it be used on higher difficulties? Faound a youtube vid were the guy talked about "groundslam" being great for normal difficulty but didnt say a word about higher difficulties?

First of all, thank you NAS, and everyone who helped with the fine-tuning of this guide. I wanted to post my eventual end game build, and see if there are any improvements to be made. This is what I will be working toward (currently beginning Act 1 Cruel, 1 point away from Golem's Blood.)

Great guide TY :-)

I was wondering 1 thing though . i really hated refreshing Endurance all the time and got a Endurance on melee STUN from a quest in act 3 . will this work replacing the normal endurance skill gem ?

I linked it with the main build attack and a stun support gem and its full on charges way faster then having to cast the spell. I never saw this skill gem mentioned so i assume its new or that it has some flaw making it a bad choice ? I just started this game so i really dont have any clue :P the only thing diffrent as i see it by reading description is that it doesnt taunt enemies like the normal skill gem does wich is a feature id gladly give up if it means i dont have to cast the damn spell and worry about the duration.


is it too hard to stun enemies later in game maybe ?
