i work hard and finally farm my class to reach level80. what make me proud is high dps for heavy strike. look at the follow picture. yes, believe your eye and the dps of heavy strike 14308.8. it is just heavy strike that defeats bosses easily.
as a strength class, high life is very important. during the initial period when i create my character the first thing i have to consider is to add his life. so i choose a lot of passives increase maximum life in the passive skill tree. what’s more, i output physical damage and adding physical damage is one of the significance. as you can see from the following picture:
what i want to talk about is the some keystone passives in the tree.
resolute technique has monsters can’t evade my hit and deal my critical strikes.
unwavering stance makes my character not be stunned.
iron reflexes coverts all evasion rating to armour.
as to my poe items, those which can add life and resistance are my first choice, the equipment to add damage followed. remember that melee classes have to high life or shield.
my important weapon is reaper's pursuit.shadow axe, adding physical damage for my marauder.
my life is over 3500 and i just need to bring a life flask and a hallowed hybrid flask. in addition, there is a mana flask, a granite flask ( 3000 armour) and an amethyst flask ( 35% chaos resistance).
my main attack skills: heavy strike fast attack mult-strike added physical damage
passive trigger skills: vulnerability immortal call rejuvenation totem
aura: anger/haste/purity of ice
as for aura, i always use anger haste or haste purity of ice. haster is a useful aura to increase the attack and movement speed.
