Best Marauder Build in Path of Exile

The Marauder is Path of Exile's pure force class, capable of dealing massive damage while taking it.

When leveled and equipped correctly, the Marauder can be an absolute monster on the battlefield, wiping out any enemies or bosses in its path. This is where this construction comes into play:

The Molten Strike Juggernaut build is based on stacking damage in order to slaughter enemies in your path. Molten Strike itself is a melee attack that uses both physical damage and fire damage, while causing balls of molten magma to be launched at enemies you strike, which will deal area damage. effect during explosion. This is the core of this build and is combined with a 90% reduction in physical damage, maximum resistances, and significant health regeneration.

The playstyle of this build is to rush into the middle of a group of enemies and take them down with just a few moves. It uses defensive buffs and mitigation measures to be able to deal a lot of damage. By the end of the game the build will be able to handle any damage that comes your way and with the addition of Life Leech the damage can easily be negated.

You should use any excess points you earn to fill the large cluster gems in each of the three Large Jewel sockets, and be sure to research:

Suzerain – Support Fortify permanent
Devastating - clearly improves
Feed the fury - leech of life and damage
Fuel the fightt - Mana Leech and Attack Speed

Also try to get Iron Grip and Point Blank as they are very important for this build.

Each cluster jewelry should have two sockets in which the standard jewelry will be placed. Try to get one of each notable talent for its perks, then stack the weight perk for damage from the remaining notable ones.

Mobility / utility link

Leap Slam is a valuable AoE attack that can deal a lot of damage to many enemies at once, and Enduring Cry will help you regenerate stamina and give you a defensive boost when you need it. Make sure Blood Cry is not linked to Blood Magic Support; make it a 3-Link with an empty socket.

Flammability will help you deal Fire damage to enemies around you and increase their chances of igniting.

Vaal Molten Shell 3-Link

Vaal Molten Shell will give your character good defense, but it will need to be activated manually. Blood Rage's binding will increase the speed of your attacks and generate frenzied charges, so make it constantly active.

Regular jewelry

Use jewels to provide elemental resistances in the early stages of the game until you can find the rare pieces of equipment. At the end of the game, make sure you have a gem with “Corrupted Blood Cannot Be Inflicted On You”.

Powers of the Pantheon

Major gods

Soul of Solaris is the best choice for his defense, which is unstoppable when you fully level him up.

Minor gods

Soul of Gruthkul will help you work and search, while giving you additional physical damage reduction.

Soul of Ralakesh will reduce physical damage over time, which is good for maze farming, while also providing blind immunity when buffed.

Equipment

These articles combine profitability and power. The build uses jewelry to reduce its damage so you want to have the right gear for it.

Equipment

Helmet

A Royal Burgonet or an Eternal Burgonet obtained with an immaculate fossil and a burnt fossil. Affixes should be prioritized as such:

1. (Uncapped) Elemental resistances
2. + # at maximum life
3. Nearby enemies have - #% fire resistance
4. + # to armor

We recommend that you enchant the helmet with Molten Strike firing two more projectiles as soon as possible. You can buy a white base and then craft it.

Body armor

We recommend the Loreweave, then get 78% max resistance and a high percentage of increased elemental damage. You can also use a Belly of the Beast until you can acquire the Loreweave as it is very easy to obtain.

The affixes must be as follows:

1. (Uncapped) Elemental resistances
2. + # at maximum life
3. % Of increased maximum life (elder / hunter)
4. % Increased armor

Gloves

Use a rare pair of Seized Gloves for their defensive stats and damage. You can use an Awakening Orb to get both a Hunter and Warlord mod, but it's quite expensive.

Affixes:

1. (Uncapped) Elemental Resistance
2. + # at maximum life
3. % increased Attack Speed
4. Skill attack targets 1 additional nearby enemy (hunter)
5. Slaughter Strike (Warlord)
6. % Increased damage when leeching (crafted)

Kaom Roots are the way to go as they are very cheap and you can also invest in a corrupt pair once you have enough cash.

Arms

The construction is based on dual-handling nebulochs. This weapon will give a ton of damage and also grant you elemental damage reduction, chaos reduction, and armor. Even with its degenerating effect, its regeneration and leech will compensate for it.

If you can't handle the degenerating effect of two weapons at first, you can use Brutus' Lead Sprinkler or Grelwood's Rod until you find two Kaom's Way Rings to help you.

Accessories

Amulet

Xoph's Blood will save you skill points while giving you big damage. It also provides a powerful “ash covered” effect.

Here is the list of affix priorities:

Flat band rings

It's a fantastic late-game pickup, especially with Vitality mods. This will make your character invincible, especially with his on-hit life gain. This is very powerful with the high attack speed and the number of projectiles. Even with a single target, you can heal any damage dealt to you.
