Those first 2 updates were very needed, lol I couldn't stand loading up the vendors item by item.

Could someone help me out with a marauder build? I solo most of the time, and was wondering if 1hand/1shield is better or 2 handed for soloing? How do you guys usually spec in passive tree for a marauder? IE. Pure damage, health/damage, or pure defense?

I can recommend a three keystone marauder: Avatar of Fire, Resolute Technique and Blood Magic. Your main skill will be cleave with added elemental damage, added fire damage and added melee damage supports. Also take the increased weapon elemental damage passives near the templar starting location. Take other damage enhancing or defensive passives as you see fit (definitely take the very juicy life passives at your starting point in the skilltree). Obviously take no passives that increase critchance or critdamage.

I don't really understand why people go Blood Magic. AoF Marauders are generally a very slowly attacking class, which means the mana cost isn't all THAT high, and you have to invest a good ten points in +10 nodes just to get there in the first place. Instead, you could be bringing 1-2 mana flasks along with a diamond or granite flask and two health potions to keep you topped off at all times.

Just a personal preference, blood magic is not a necessity for this build.

Oh and uh, Cleave's bugged if you're wielding two weapons, confirmed by dev it shows AVERAGE instead of total.
