I have a level 50 marauder who uses a 2h maul/axe.

My skill tree was really messy as he was the first character i created and now that my skill tree got reset i am trying to optimise it to the best i can.

I invested heavily in lifesteal in my support gems, items and skills. The main skills i invested in were the one which applies lifesteal instantly when over 40% effectiveness and no mana pool using health instead.

The main gems i use are: molten shell, heavy strike and leap slam. I would cast molten shell then leap on everyone causing huge aoe and crazy lifesteal. Heavy strike was used to pick off people or boss fights.

Links to possible builds on a site with a skill tree template or just general suggestions in the comments here would be greatly appreciated. Also feel free to throw general tips at me for my class or how i could adapt it and what gems you would suggest, thanks.

I am a poe rookie so try refrain from using terms i might not understand.
