1.3 [Newbie Friendly] GROUNDSLAMMER BUILD

Thanks for the help.

Why is it that I see every marauder build speccing into blood magic on the passive skill tree? Wouldn't it be better to use the Blood Magic support gem for your main abilities, and be able to use Determination/Purity/Hatred auras as well?

(from the Quest wiki: http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Quest_Rewards)

for act 2 Intruders in Black quest, which reward gem should i get?

Enduring Cry or Warlord’s Mark or...?

NinjaArab, I am interesting in next thing: if I do build like this:
Would I just be overkilling resistance? Meaning, since resistance to elements is at 75% (I think), at high lvls you would just be spending points and gain nothing if you go for resistence armour.
So did you put so many passive skill points into resist cuz of eary gameplay?
Just interested :).

Something that should be mentioned is that lifesteal is normally capped at 20% of your max per second. Lifesteal support gem is sometimes wasted since the lifesteal from the tree is potenitonally enough to fill that.
Thats what Vall pact if for, but if thats a good choice for this build...

Vaal Pact mean no regen. We concentrate in regen. No.

Because it is way easier. What you don't see every marauder is respeccing for Blood Magic support gem by end game. You don't see it in my guide, because I didn't want to disturb new players.

BUILD

1. Link build
2. I don't understand question

@Ninjaarab yes by Styurk :P is it a pvp build or what?

by the end of act 1, i dont think anyone can be considered a newbie :)

what would the skill psth be if you decide to go for the Blood magic support gem?

On my way through the build, progress is nice so far, nothing to complain. My Marauder is Lvl 29 now and close to the end of the 2. Act. My build looks like this at the moment:

I skipped some resists early on to make faster progress, same for the 2 increased life nodes above blood magic. I wanted to reach the duelist node fast through unwavwering stance but because it still takes some levels and I guess I can skip unwavwering stance for the moment, I wanted to ask if I should buff my Marauder the next levels with the life and resists passives or can I skill them later? I have 4 respec points just in case.
My plan was to get all of the Mace dmg nodes later on and since the guide also recommended this, I hope my current order of skilling is not wrong. ^^"

i see you updated yur guide to v2.01 and eliminated the iron reflexes/grace option.

you are now pointing everyone to endurance charges.

lets say I choose to skip smashing blows and unwavering stance. After resolute tech and blood magic, i'm thinking of going for the duelist tree first and getting diamond skin for the +15 elemental resists.

or is it not worth wasting 3 points on dex to get to the diamond skin node?
