Hey Lighty,

just recently started to follow your build. I was wondering what gem combination you suggest in case of a 6l Chest?

I got a +500 life Kaoms Heart with 40% inc. fire damage mod... do u suggest using this in favour of a 6l armor life based chest? Or should I invest the amount of exas to get a +1000 life Kaom's Heart such as yours?

Regards,

Georg

Lighty -- I'm looking for a bit of advice

This build is great and I really do thank you for continuing to respond to everyone's questions and comments.

To be clear, I did a respec out of your build to try another approach with cyclone, picking up a few endurance charges and things like that, cost me around 30 regrets, discovered that it was a total waste, so I switched back yesterday, costing another 30 regrets and wa-laa I'm back looking for some advice. "The very old will do these kind of silly things"

So, to my way of thinking I have a few issues to resolve, I believe my weapon & boots are set up properly and may not need any work.

But

My orb set up on the helm - gloves & chest could use some help - so I'm asking "What do you suggest".

I have started picking some new gear for later levels, currently level 87 & I just picked up a new pair of gloves with more life, figured I would probably do something similar with my boots, amy and rings and more than likely forgo my lust for rarity and focus on life - evasion - dex - int - resists & increased armor.

These are the new gloves I have stashed away:

My current gear:

5k hp
40k ++++ dps
max resists
-3 chaos (will jump to +22 with gloves)
121 rarity
str 426
dex 124
int 95

I have a acquired 15ex from drops that I have sold ---> keeping my amazing ax drop though.
I can do most maps up to lvl 76 with minimal to no issues - have yet to find maps of a higher level, I was given 1 level 78 map going to try that one later today. The slow regen are ok to do as well as the elemental reflect (just switching out fire damage, put on life gain on hit or leach, also turning off Hatred and put on Haste) So all in all he does amazingly well except for those once in a blue moon surprises - hoping to get those blue moons eliminated if possible.

Wondering if I should do something special with my chest piece - use as a 5 link or ...?
I use Hatred - HOA & Artic Armor
My Enfeeble activates sometimes - same with molten shell -- rarely see Im Call activated but that could just be me

Lots of possibilities to try, but really do not know what makes the most sense.

Remember I'm the old guy, so respond in short sentences - I tend to dose off.........................................z.........................z...............................z..................... from time to time.

Hi Lighty!
Thank you very much for your guide.
This Marauder is my first character and I think I'm doing pretty good with it. I've had a few issues on the leveling path which forced me to deviate a bit from your build (I went for the %life passive nodes circle near the Scion starting zone for example). In hindsight it could've been solved with better gear but not having a single chaos worth of currency to work with and getting 1 shot by the big skeletons in the Act 3 Library area wasn't fun. That was with fortify and a few endurance charges. Let's not even mention the corrupted mini-zones, a lot of deaths to the end bosses with even the weakest of mods. Those were a mess.

Anyway, fast forward a few weeks and now i'm at level 91, a few exalts richer and hit another brick wall, currently pursuing level 75+ maps but I find I can't keep myself alive on some of the harder bosses, I either have to skip them completely or rely on the other party members to kill them for me :-(

Is this supposed to be the case or am I missing something here? Do I need to have 8 auras up on me and some max level curse on the boss to be able to do them? I guess I can link both Life Gain on Hit and Life Leech gems to Cyclone (at the cost of Melee Physical damage and Added fire damage) but it feels like I won't be doing any damage that way.
Shouldn't the passive life leech keep me alive on it's own? Is there a DPS threshold you need to pass for that to happen?

Any tips would be appreciated.

My current gear is this :

And my talent tree.

Which pieces of gear should I replace? I'm locked in a way to the (two stone) ring and neck because of the Dexterity / Intellect stat on them, but I'm sure I'll be able to find alternatives.

I had Vagan "socketed gems are supported by level 1 bloodmagic" prefix crafted onto my mace.
