Hello.
Try allocate devotions to grab Ghoul active, it helps sustain 6 sec between health pot and overguard cd. Also try Barbaros pants and Colossal gloves, they are amazing. And you can add Prismatic Diamond to your helm, it receive nice buff also.
Good luck.
p.s. time your cd’s wisely 
Tried ghoul in many combos, weapon needs changing for markovian to a Vampiric bonschythe/boncleaver or of Voracity, or both affixes, which is what i’m using. Haunted stell can’t be used on markovian because damage plummets and ghoul is not enough for crucible
I never run crucible, Ghoul only for 4% life steal and active for MQ/Sharzul. And i speak abou full Warborn ofc, not Markovian.
Sure, it works there. It’s fine for vanilla be it Warborn or Markovian:)
Superfluff,
Thanks for a great build. I just finished up ultimate with the Markovian version of it tonight. Zero deaths, only the third character that I’ve been able to do that with. What an amazing tank - I didn’t even have the whole Markovian set (missing the amulet) and I can only think of a couple times that my health bar even dropped below a half (Loxmere and couple Nemesis encounters). It helped that I was still playing in v1.0.0.6, but I wanted to try out this build the way it was designed before updating to the current version.
Thanks for the guide. Just finished Ultimate and started Crucible/Gladiator today using this build ( slightly different ) My first full playthrough… with crappy gear, mostly factional, no any sets etc. Btw 0 deaths ( soft ).
Everything was easy… ofc, a bit slow because of my low equipment.
I crafted my first Oleron’s Wrath…+1 Rending Force and Laceration.
fail 
Take it easy in crucible then:p Stop at wave 100 and grab your loot. Penalty for death is very high with loot. You can complete your sets in challenger.
Still waiting on hotfix for update
@Buster62- Glad you liked it:)
@Phosphonothioic Don’t worry it will serve other builds like 2h bleed warder
Superfluff - I’m searching for an MI to replace my Warborn Gavel. In the meantime, do you have a suggestion on what I could swap Haunted Steel for? I was thinking either Hallowed Fang or Oleron’s Blood.
Thanks!
Hollowed fang also has conversion like Haunted steel.
So no.
For Markovian a good replacement for Warborn gavel is Vampiric Bonescythe of Alacrity/Voracity
I have the simple version, bonecleaver, with the above affixes.
I’ve even used a yellow, Vampiric boneclaver of alacrity, with decent results. Go Secret shop:P
Is there a way to reset that vendor aside from having to recreate the game?
Go to Benvald than place a personal rift, take it to Devils Crossing. Than i talk to the two vendors there and take the rift back to Benvald.
I just did that and Benevald’s gear didn’t refresh… 
I’ll be more deliberate…see if that helps.
Try 3 vendors:) and do it with the 3 in homestead, it’s closer
So I know this is a beggar being a chooser, but I love this build, and it’s my first success at playing through with 0 deaths on Hardcore…Would it be possible to get an update for the new update 1.0.0.8?
I am just trying to figure out why my base DPS (without buffing effects) is in the 37k range (roughly 60k when all the sparkly buffing effects happen), when I have followed this build almost to a “T.” The only item I don’t have is the Cronley Ring that OP has, but I use another good DPS ring, and can’t see the difference possibly being that much.
Is this perhaps the result of the update nerfing any effects of this build as originally posted?
I really really appreciate this build and post. If an update can happen, great, if not, I’ll be tweaking by my lonesome, but I appreciate the work of the original expert!
Many thanks.
Hey, glad you enjoyed it:)
Your DPS is normal.
If you look at the patch notes you’ll notice heavy nerfs in all aspects of the build damage wise. Skills( bulwark, deadly momentum reduced, Phys damage on shield training removed), devotions(Targo hammer %weapon damage heavily reduced…has some extra flat phys damage but it’s almost inconsequential, Oleron proc %weapon damage reduced and flat phys damage reduced on left node, Assassins mark resistance reducetion reduced to -28% from -33%), Markovian set flat damage reduced and proc nerfed from 2 seconds cooldown do 1 second making it bearly noticeable, especially since CD on Overguard was increased all in all a 20% reduction in sheet dps.
And perhaps the biggest hit was Haunted steel which now converts 10% of your damage to vitality so another 10% reduction in total damage. This is why i changed weapon for markovian as posted above. Warborn is forced to wear this in crucible.
If you don’t play crucible then ghoul is fine for Warborn (markovian needs the weapon posted above regardless).
The devotion i’ll post in the update after the hotfix will be for crucible aslo.
i killed the mad queen with the help of stoneheart oil
i wonder if increase the blocking chance helps the fight easier
Yes, it may help block her revenge skill, those red spikes that can kill you very fast when she has her red aura on.
Instead of that bonecleaver…have you considered a mace? since you have those in the devotion tree. Killrian can drop a very nice Officers - Of verocity. But you also need a high end roll of it. You’d lose only 500-800 dps, but gain more crit damage%, 35% all damage and all the life steal you’d ever want along with a nice attack speed%. I went from doing 73k crits to 86k crits with it. Seeing how you do such numbers regularly enough to make it worth while…
Well Warborn setup using Warborn Mace seems fine to me, it’s the Markovian setup that has become all but useless due to it not serving the purpose of being a defensive set anymore
But seriously Gibly, you got Killrian’s mace with double rare :mad:. I’ve spent hours and the fucker refuses to drop the mace, let alone double rare
