So, no good melee builds :S?

Nope.

I kid. Ground Slam Marauder is one way to go self-found. It's just that melee builds tend to rely on decent weapon stats, and those can be hard to get when you play self-found. It's much more effective to go with a caster and take lots of aura, spell, or elemental nodes so that your damage is based more on gem level than gear.

Yes very hard indeed. You just use alts and regals to get 2 and then use elreon to craft all the rest. Extremely hard.
It always amazes me when people say that POE can't be played as self found.
I have several 90+ characters. They can all beat Uber and they are all completely self found.
I have the impression that when people say "self found is impossible" they are thinking of mirrored gear
as the only way to play this game..

I think when people talk about self-found, its a tied to the notion that said player has a job/family/life, thus they dont play 8 hours a day, the chances of a self-found "casual" player having an Elreon level 8, and enough alts/regals to hit good mods to be crafted, are slim to none :) Let alone paying the 2 EX required for multimod crafting.

Nope. 1.3 doesn't support melee gameplay. :'-(

You only need one mod (120%+ phys) and elreon flat to be fair for maces if you're self found.

I think i'd be going ground slam, with that node in maces for culling on stun should be good.

Cast on death linked to Alt F4 uninstall

Yep, true, this guy was talking about having several 90+ characters and farming Uber with every single one of them tho, you see the difference hehe :)

Um, right now it's utterly ridiculous to get Elreon to level 8 so you can use his incredibly useful mod. I've played every day since the release of Forsaken Masters and still don't have him maxed! Oh, and then you need to have dropped at least two Exalted Orbs to purchase his mod and make the most of your item. So, yeah, that is kind of hard.

Sure, master leveling is supposed to be easier in the next patch, but if you play totally self-found and want to craft some cool weapons that require Exalted or Divine, then good luck unless you play your brains out.

Also, I wasn't saying that making your own weapon isn't viable. I was suggesting that you generally get more bang for your self-found time by playing as a caster.

Why would someone even do this on a mace?

Alt for high % damage.
Augment (or not)
Regal for whatever additonal mod (doesn't matter on a mace)
Add flat physical damage (when regal was not flat physical damage)

Selffound mace done.
Cost: 20-30 alts, regal, 2(?) chaos for flat damage
Even better: selffound-find a mace with missing stat, add stat, done.

Multimod is a total waste for Selffounders, even if they had lvl8 elreon.
You're not going to produce something significantly better with it.

How about you do both? Cast on Melee Kill will be insanely strong this patch.

How is this gem getting changed? I haven't seen anything about that.
