Korgoth, can you please take a quick glimpse at this thread and especially the last 2 posts and confirm that the shield nodes work like the User Mannoth says ? thank you

I really like to play with this build, but since the recent update, my entire passive tree is gone, and i haven't seen any updtes right now, so i made my own.
Could you take a look at it please?



Would you change something, or is it good to go for my marauder at 83?

My goal at 100 is to put the following build together:

What i say is true because it is how the modifiers work.

If you have:
200% increased damage
700% more unarmed damage
50% more melee phys damage

And lets say 50-100 flat phys damage from gear

Your total hit will be:

(50-100) * (1.0 + 2.0 [increased modifier]) * 1.5 [melee phys] * 8 [facebreaker modifier]

For a total of:
(50-100) * 36 = 1800-3600 damage

I didn't say that %increased multiplies by itself (they are additive), it however does work in a multiplicative way with facebreakers bonus because the facebreaker bonus is in itself multiplicative.

More modifiers are multiplicative with other more multipliers and the on the end they are multiplied with the sum of all increased modifiers for the final damage factor.

So if I wanted to make a build using solely Dominating Blow, is there any reason to spec for minions or should I just be going for physical damage?

Am i doin it raight?





Life reduced, shield improved
passively one shotting trashmobs

Block Chance 63/16, could go back to 67/50 with my 4% Block SoL, its 61k DPS then.
3% LL from the Tree

102% increased life mate?

Here, i fixed it for you:


+35% life
-2% block chance
+20 dexterity
+30 strength (+6% melee damage, 15 life from it)
+18% melee damage
+50 life
+4% attack speed
-20% armor
-1.3% regen

Same amount of passives.
