Marauder

In the middle of the leaugue 3.15 Transendence was nerfed a little bit so we need now more phys covertion damage to stay alive, more endurance charges, we can also use phys reduction from watcher's eye or we just skip it and take blocks and Glancing blows.

🔥Guys this build is TOTALLY IMBALANCED, all nerfs in 3.15 patch did not affect it at all. It have from 65+ MLN DPS to 370+ MLN DPS. It'a almost virtually immortal because of using Transcendence passive keystone defence mechanics. Hope you like this build =)Build is true league starter, you may level up with Earthshatter skill or another skills, all starting gear setup will be described further in guide. Total budget of the build – from 50 to 60 exalts for transendece version. Russian version of the guide also available at the russian version of PoE official forum. We added links to the official PoE trade site to help you buy all required gear and stuff.

Build pros: + High DPS for clearing and solo targets- 65+mln,can be upgraded to 370+ mln dps. There are many ways to improve the build. + Nice survivability by using various defensive mechanics (including “Transcendence”). + Can be upgraded with “Headhunter” (btw youcan start with "Inspired Learning" in a passive tree). + Starter friendly. + 3.15 nerfs did not affect this build. + For a budget of 2-3 ex we get 10+ mln dps.

Build cons: - You have to hold two buttons simultaneously to start the build working. - There are some mechanics that many players do not understand and which need to be understood and implemented correctly (for example, a frequently asked question“what about incoming physical damage”).

Build mechanics: The "Cyclone" gem in conjunction with the "Desecrate" gem via "Cast while ChannelingSupport" gem allows you to create corpses around the character. The main skill"General’sCry" raises ghostly warriors from the created corpses,which use"Blade Flurry"skill to kill enemies.Damage varies from 40+ mln dps at the 1st stage to 70+ mln dps at the 6th stage, depending on how you assemble the character. Damage doesnot apply instantly, but with a couple of seconds delay until reaching the final stage.

Additionally we use: Inspired learning jewel, which grants ability to gain one random mod from a slain rare enemy for 20 seconds.

Second jewel - Kitava's Teachings, which adds keystone Disciple of Kitava to your skill tree. “Disciple of Kitava” grants ability to consume a nearby corpse, recovering 5% of character’s life and mana. However, if a corpse has not been consumed recently, 10% more damage is taken.

Third jewel ”Militant Faith” allows you to connect defensive mechanics through a keystone passive skill Transcendence. "Armour applies to Fire, Cold and Lightning Damage taken from Hits instead of Physical Damage. -5% to all maximum Elemental Resistances",thus we are not afraid of elemental damage. We also getphysical damage reduction from endurance charges, "Infused Channelling Support" gem, Fortify, pantheons "Soul of Solaris"and"Soul of Gruthkul",and also by converting incoming physical damage to any elemental damage or chaos damage.We get that via corrupted modifier on a shield, or a mod in an armor or helmet.

Anotherimportant keystone passive skill, which should be taken as quickly as possible - Call to Arms. Keystone gives: Using Warcries is Instant. Warcries share their Cooldown. This means that you just put the warcry "General’s Cry" on the Left Mouse Button and it applies instantly s when the character moves.
