I don't post here very much. However I have to say this build is a BLAST!!

I normally only play a Witch summoner, have since way before release. An Army of minions was the only way I played.

I wanted to do something completely different this league. Since I haven't played in a league since before Delve. I decided to go with a Marauder and see what life is like up front.

Been tweaking this and that, used GS then I'm playing around with Tectonic Slam. So I added a ton of fire damage and support. TBH I will probably be going back to GS. Even though the TS is fun!

Thanks again for the guide and to everyone for sharing their thoughts, ideas and tips in this thread. This is a blast!

Hello @frawst, thank you for the great build.

Small request: could you update PoB with brinkmanship + champion of cause and with suggested earthshatter links?

I know its minor, but I'm a noob and it would be super convenient. Thank you, much appreciated :)

yeah ill do a update for first page and do new pob info in the next few days

Thank you, I love you.

Hey there. Just wanted to say thanks for the build.

This was the first build that i played seriously (tried Arc witch on Ultimatum, didn't go well).

Last league managed to kill Awakener on trade, fully geared in tidebreaker and stuff. And yesterday killed my first SSF Awakener in a pretty basic yellow gear.

Shows how little this build needs, to be extremely viable in endgame.

Thanks again, this is a great build even for first-time players. Gonna try it on the Maven next.

Hello, thank you for the build guide. I'm a noob at this game and have tried a few different characters and this one is definitely the most fun.

Hopefully you don't mind if I ask some questions (again, take this from a very noob perspective).

- There's quite a lot going on with the skills on this build. I've found the previous characters I rolled to be right click only whereas I seem to be doing a combination of ground-slam, various war cries, berserk, auras, etc. Could you possibly explain what the actual gameplay should be for this character please (for the benefit of people like me who just don't understand / new to the game).

-- I'll attempt to answer my own question but basically, as I understand it. War Cries generate Endurance Charges which last around 10 seconds, as such we want to maintain those Endurance Charges and so should cast a War Cry every ~8 seconds.

-- Thanks to War Bringer, War cries generate rage. War Bringer will also sacrifice rage to exert the next few attacks? Alternatively, Berserk can be used (say, on unique mobs / bosses) to increase our DPS, but sacrifice rage.

-- Blood Rage should be maintained full-time too because it provides a DPS increase and is maintained by killing enemies.

So the gameplay style should be to maintain warcry buffs, but either use the warcry again to provide exerted attacks, or use berserk for a large DPS increase on difficult mobs, and maintain Blood Rage? Auras should be used throughout? Hopefully somewhat understood this.

- In the Quick Guide and 3. Gems and Links , you use asterisk to mark various gems. What do these actually mean? I appreciate that it probably means they can be interchanged but is there a significance to their order? Also for example:

"

(Vaal*) Ground Slam – (Awakened) Brutality – Ruthless - Concentrated Effect/(Awakened) Increased Area of Effect – (Awakened) Melee Physical Damage – Fortify - (Pulverize** – Shockwave*** - Multistrike**** - Rage***** - Fist of War******)

Isn't that Seven gems here?
1. Ground Slam
2. Brutality
3. Ruthless
4. Concentrated Effect or Increased Area of Effect
5. Melee Physical Damage
6. Fortify
7???. Pulverize or Shockwave or Multistrike or Rage or Fist of War)

I notice that Fortify appears in some of the other gem links. Does that mean to ignore Fortify and proceed to the list of interchangeable gems instead?

I do not mean to come across as picking apart your guide at all; I find a lot of this a bit difficult to understand (might be obvious to most people).

Thank you

Thank you

some great questions here, let me do my best to explain


1. the general idea is to always be using exerted attacks and berserk as much as possible, maintaining high rage via warbringer procs and 50% more procs, as well as boosting our slams QoL and dps

so think, rallying cry

slam slam slam

intimidating cry

slam slam slam

berserk

slam slam

intimidating cry

slam slam

rallying cry

slam slam

rinse and repeat until boss is dead!


2. only enduring cry and skills in our weapon generate endurance charges. we do want to be casting war cries often

3. correct on warbringer and berserk

4. correct, attack speed is free bonus and is good source of life leech

5. yes, use warcries liberally, use berserk as much as possible, use warcries to keep up berserk, slam all the time

6. asteriks are optional support you can try out. no significane to their order

i think you are right; there is 7 support listed. ill see if i can fix this formatting (its alot of code to fix hehe)

as long as we take fortify mastery (which is very early on for us) you skip fortify gem as we get fortify on ALL hits




hope i answered all your questions, and not seen as picking apart at all!


good luck friend
