A quick google search brings up a CI variant as well I wonder if Spectral Throw marauder is a good idea or not ^_^ I feel like it would be since you want a 2H for spectral throw. | ||

If you are doing a marauder Mace/Axe throw without any real access to Dex/accuracy, yes. I mean there are a few accuraccy nodes in the marauder tree but they aren't worth the bother IMO. Iron grip is kinda a must though. Its really really good if you are near it I think. | ||

base WED build 6 Endurance because endurance charges are badass (took iron grip because I am assuming Spectral Throw at this point). The question becomes if I want to go frenzy single target and pick up all those charges as well or if I want to do something else I guess. Alternately, I could use some other form of weapon damage. Right now I'm playing Frenzy/Cleave, but I don't expect to cleave late game so I haven't picked up any weapon specific nodes. I don't think Frenzy is gonna be possible. Also probably need some form of mana management but I really don't want to take BM  maybe | ||

If you have 200 strength, it'll be 40% increased physical damage. Plus it puts you near the life leech keystone and the two adjacent amazing life nodes. Ran into my first guaranteed-unique mob in Nemesis. Gave me Doedre's Tenure...at least I got a Perandus Blazon and the trap boots off of random mobs. | ||

My Templar Spectral shock build this leaves me the option to go for iron grip, without iron grip i would do this more life, 10% more wed, +1 more endurance charge trying to do this atm spectral throw templar with shock Wed, i try to get eldrich since i want to go for clarity+ 2 auras(purity+ wrath) build ,or fuck eldrich and go for 16%reduced mana reservation node? dont know if i should get iron grip since i try to do dual ele weapon also is 2 curse useful? shall i get unwavering stance? do i have enough mana regen in endgame that i dont need shaper node? shall i get another endurace charge instead of shaper or double curse? | ||

Mostly the Bloodrain stage was crazy, so many adds and there didn't always seem to be that glyph for invulnerability to Bloodrain so I died a few times searching it. >_< Also those leaping frogs are fucking annoying and strong, specially with Auras. | ||

I am playing a marauder on hardcore and am planning on using 1 hand + shield, would getting unwavering stance make perfect sense for me then since i plan to reduce most damage as opposed to dodge it? Also nodes such as "heart of the gladiator" which give +30 to maximum life, are they bad? + 30 max life seems pretty bad for scaling or does it work differently? | ||

Unwavering Stance is perfect and closeby. It'll make you unstunnable and sometimes when you block you get stunned. 30 max Life node is crazy good, it scales with other Life nodes. After this patch you usually get like 200% Life or more in builds, specially for Melee builds. So that'll make close to 100 Life or more. | ||

How did you guys level so fast? I play templar right now and want to be a caster, so grabbing marauder life nodes is not viable.. which means low hp for me.. T_T | ||

Thank you for the answer, would you mind explaining if possible what it means for the life nodes to scale? If it says +30 max life do I actually get more than that? Do I get x more max life depending on what level I am? Or am I just not knowing enough about how much end game max life is and 100 is actually a lot, highest I got was lvl 30 a year ago like I said. | ||

Well you pick up other Life nodes which give for example 10% increased Life. The 30 maximum Life go to the base Life which gets increased by all the % Life nodes. So say you have 10% increased Life from nodes, then the 30 max Life note will actually give 33 Life. And yes, 100 Life is a lot, max I've seen on the forum was a Facebreaker with Legacy items and only Life nodes, he made a char with 10000 Life. Usually you'll probably have around 4-5k Life as Melee with decent equip. @Others: I've killed Dominus on Normal and got one Unique, and on Cruel two Uniques, is that normal?! | ||

All he dropped in Normal for me was a bunch of blues and some mediocre rare that I vendored. I think the unique drop rates in general are a lot higher without MF than they were before (in the new leagues, anyway). | ||

GGG said they were buffing the rarity of end game bosses so they were better for farming. Sounds above average at least, but how lucky you are is hard to say.

Optimized play can be kinda anti-fun though in a lot of respects. | ||

I did a couple runthroughs on Normal and Merciless with a lvl 70 char, got a decent number of rares but no uniques. | ||
