I recently started playing PoE, I've enjoyed it very much. I've choosen Marauder as my class and started playing. I've played D2 and some other action-rpg games so it was not hard for me to adapt but the passive skill tree and skill gems was hard to plan for as I'm new to the game.



Everything till now was good and enjoyable but I'm kinda stuck now, I need some advice/help from you guys. I've hit level 60 farming ledge and I can't progress even further. Maybe my passive skill tree sucks or my gems were horrible choice, I don't know.



Passive tree

So, what should I do? What should I change/upgrade in my gear? What about my passive skill tree?



I really want to progress to the End-Game and enjoy the game even more. I hope you guys can help me out. Cheers ^^



EDIT: Thanks for everyone's helpful advices! Everyone said to re-roll basically and only one said to respec some and go for more +HP and +Resist. I'll try to do that first and if I cannot achieve anything I'm going to re-roll another character.



I'm really glad you guys helped me out! Cheers ^^



EDIT 2 : Hey guys! It's me again! I've managed to get to Brutus ^^ I couldn't kill him myself but some fellas helped me out and I've managed to get pass him!



EDIT 3 : I've reached Fellshrine Ruins!! Now I'm just gonna farm here to level up and get some proper gear. I will continue to play untill I'm stuck again. Thanks again guys.

I would say your skill gems are fine, but you need way more life. I am surprised you even made it to lvl 60 to be honest. And I'm not saying you need a ton like most of my hardcore characters with around 200% in the tree but you have minimal in the tree and only 10 on gear. Getting tankier even a little should help immensely. Most builds focus quite a lot on defenses, especially early to mid game. focusing damage late game is fine but you have to survive to do so.

Oh, well I didn't have any trouble until level 60, and I had no idea that +HP was this hard to obtain so I went balls to the walls with +damage skills. Oh god, it will cost me a fortune to respec all these skills now. Is there any other way to do it?

Reroll you character. Every first character hits a wall at some point. Unfortunately, your spec is nearly unrepairable, in the time it would take you to get the number of respec points you need, you could level a new character to the same level while keeping all the currency you would have spent. Trust me, reroll. Posted by

Your first character made it to 60? Damn, that's a good start.



My first failed at 30, second failed at 35, and finally third character failed at 60.



But yea moral of the story is - reroll. Your next character will ALWAYS be better than your last character. You may also find a lot of the fun in this game is in planning new characters, experimentation, and the leveling process - not necessarily in the end game. Good luck.

I would focus on the templar area of the tree, getting resolute technique > life > the really close elemental damage nodes.



EDIT: I just had a quick look at your gear. I would focus on replacing the helmet + shoes first, because they really suck and you could probably replace those really easily while farming merciless ledge (just go for +life and at least one resistance mod, and it will be better than your current piece). Reduced mana > anger will get you more life too



You should only consider restarting if you used all your respec points from quests already, if not then I think its just a waste of time & you could easily fix your character + gain 10 levels at the same time. I remember the first time I ever needed to respec a character, I had over 40 regret orbs in my stash anyway... (Use them if you have them, dont hoard them =P) Your build isnt that bad, but you might need to farm a bit if you dont have decent resists on gear though. This build is based on your current one, it will take you about 28 respec points which isnt actually that many. You get about 13 or so respec points from quests, and you can make up the difference from regret orbs / additional levels.I would focus on the templar area of the tree, getting resolute technique > life > the really close elemental damage nodes.EDIT: I just had a quick look at your gear.

eh the usual first build fail :D , ah i miss my first build.



He was a shield mace templar with lighting strike , it was pretty stupid by me to make my first char in hc :P he ripped at lvl 42 or so but it was cool till that point





The moral of the story is , u can fail pretty hard in this game if u are a newbie.All of us pretty much failed with our first char.The best thing is to say goodbye to your mara (for now , soon enough in release we will hopefully have a full respec so nothing is really lost :P) and just start another char with the knowledge u have acquired.



Note that the passive tree is mostly for defenses , in softcore leagues u can go for a lot of damage but u can never forget defenses. Base health on items is really important too , always try to find some gear with hp.
