Amazing guide!! Very well put together, are you planning an update for 3.26?

Thank you! Just did an initial update for 3.26. Build wise pretty much nothing changed as far as I'm aware of. But I will take a pass at the whole guide and improve wording, clarify some stuff and look at the content flow. Wanna make it easy to follow for both beginners and experts. Starting to hit the character limit on both posts, (I forgot to reserve an extra post for the guide :D). Will also update the PoBs if we get 3.26 modified trees.

I probably won't play this build this league. After hundreds of hours in Settlers I wanna try something new. Will definitely try to help people if they struggle and improve the guide.

rly cool build, cheers for the guide.

ive never really followed anyones guide before making chars, and i posted in the poe2 forum recently about never wanting to play slow melee in that game, so the last thing i thought id be doing was trying out a slow melee slam guide.

...

but i was going through my poe1 stash this weekend just seeing what junk is in here, what i can do with all my chars now its been years and none of them have functioning builds. so i came here to see what ppl are going with melee marauders now days and i liked the look of this, all the new warcry stuff and new chieftan that ive never played with before.

....

its rly cool, love it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I call this build's attack speed "not unviably slow". The "slow-slow" melee builds where you are attack at like 0.8 attack speed made me really frustrated when trying them.

You got some really nice items there. 1H + Shield variant is definitely viable, in fact the more I looked at how many defensive stats the Shield gives the more I realised it may actually be more viable than 2H haha. But there's something about fulfiling the fantasy of playing like a 2H barbarian that I really enjoy.

The new fire pen ring and Infamous mods sound insane for the build (hope the "Warcries cover enemies in ash" mod won't be solely helmet only though).
