Ground Slam

I was excited to start a Ground Slam build, but it looks like people have had bad experiences with the current skill.

What exactly can I do with this great 1H mace that other weapons don't do as well?


I'm still hoping to do Ground Slam...

Well u can use ground slam, wich has pretty nice AoE^^ you also can get a pretty good crit chance with it and/or some stun passives

but for every other skill 1H maces are a lot worse than any other weapon.

If I'd do a 1H dualwield mace build then I'd prefer an elemental groundslam build because of the %elemental dmg bonus and the crit chance of maces.
But I'd look for maces with IAS and double crit stat (chance and dmg) and some ele dmg instead of phys dmg ones
what a pain in the ass when you do race with that skill!

can you fix it so it does exactly same mana cost like double strike or cleave? at lvl 1 - 8 mana then at lvl 6 - 9 mana and so on... cause playing a marauder with low dps in a race, its not fun when he spends so much mana compaired to other skills at lvl 1

I dont know if anyone even reads these skill forums but ill try to start here...

PLEASE guys REMOVE this new animation off gs.

Im running a very powerfull rig yet my dps in 6 mans spamming skils drops down to 20 which is already annoying. I cant imagine what my guildies feel when playin on laptop or weaker machines.

No one asked for any new effect. As much as i love it that you give some attention to a spec that is so rarely used nowadays please make it a mt effect or just remove it.

In the name of all of my party members and guildies,

Peter.

I must agree with max!

Can anyone tell me if weapon range has an affect on GS? If so, what does it do?

no it does not, here is your range information http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/11707/page/226#p5041495
I enjoy this skill a lot as a kiting/AoE tool on my stun marauder.

The only trouble I have with it is the switch to default-attacks when you use the skill without mana. It would be appreciable for this skill (and others) to be given the choice on this.
i hope ground slam can be used with face breakers, that woould be so COOL
I used to use Ground Slam, mostly with 2H maces.
The "Deals 80% of Base Damage" is basically a "less" negative multiplier.

So this becomes a 333 pdps weapon instead of 416 pdps



And this becomes a 370 pdps weapon instead of 462 pdps



So I just use Reave with a sword on my Marauder.

Cleave already got it's damage effectiveness penalty removed to be equal with Reave (Reave still seems to have a better AOE).
Ground Slam should follow.

The base damage "less" penalties ruin the 2H/Mace gameplay.
