in path of exile, players can try all kinds of builds as long as they want. when you get information about the skills that you are interested in from the official site, after thinking over the details, you can get a set of new build. this is also why the price for gears and skill gems never go too high or too low in this game. no matter what a smart vendor you are in this game, you can not control the price. the price in poe currency store is relatively stable as well.
marauder has about ten kinds of builds for now, and most of them are proper to play as tank. today, we are going to introduce a set of elemental marauder build for you.
we use two main skills to cause attacks. they are righteous fire and ice nova. the reason to choose these two skills is simple. as in most cases, the monsters have only resist one kind of damages, except the boss. so, choosing these two skills, you can output damages more conveniently. we would also choose elemental equilibrium and life leech. in certain path of exile maps, there is fire resist, then we need to change the skills to other skills, such as the ek.
for the gears, you should have a piece of very important gear. it is rise of the phoenix. with legendary shield, righteous fire won't let you lose blood faster than you are able to regenerate it. you may lose 8% life every second, but you can use talent to get 8.9% life back per second, so you can use more inner force. you can take 1% maximum resistance. your life regeneration would be lower as you have to take 30% more damages. don't worry as vitality can improve the regenerate speed a lit. then, you can get 0.4% life regeneration per second at last. even through we think it not worth 5 coins of talent, it is a different choice anyway.
use ice nova can trigger elemental equilibrium which can improve the damage from righteous fire by large degree, especially when you are facing monsters who have high resistance. with elemental equilibrium and elemental weakness, the monsters can be taken down in very short time. but it is not a good idea to use the above combination of skills while you are in the team as the ice damage will be decreased.
