Templar - [1.3 VIDEO GUIDE]The Ultimate Beginners Build: The Double Searing Bro Totem[HC/SC Viable] - Forum

" Kezz123 wrote: I have several issues with your build now that I have been trying it up to level 50 on the new league. 1-A very important CON to be added should be that most masters missions will be very difficult to do with this build. Any timed mission will be a pain. Any keep a guard up type mission will be a pain. 2-For the Torment league, another con is that you will never kill a ghost with this build. 3-You advertise this build as a great beginner build however you seem to expect people will come in with most of the gems they need. Your build progression does not scale with the gem acquired in many places. For instance, you make people pick the 2nd totem skill wayyyy before searing is available which for a beginner will be a nightmare. There are other instances later on too. The build works ok but not without a share of very frustrating moments. im sort of sticking with it now to see what it ends up looking like later but I feel like I will be switching sooner than later to a tornado shot build which is much simpler and efficient than this one or a marauder groundslam build which in my opinion, having used that build twice before is the ultimate beginner friendly build. I still want to say thanks for posting the build and I appreciate trying it. Please dont take my feedback as a bash but more as honest feedback to help you improve your build to help beginners more. 1. I have had no problems with the bulk of master missions, there are some that can be hard, but that goes for every build imo. 2. As far as I know the most important part is to lead the ghost into a pack and then get the loot, killing the ghost is a secondary priority? I don't play in torment. Additionally this is just an updated build. It wasn't designed for this league. 3. The build progression scales perfectly with when you can get your searing bond totem. At level 24 you will be able use SB and you will get it from the first quest in Act 3 on normal, Lost on Love. At that point in time lots of players will be level 24. Additionally I say numerous times in the video that you should of course NOT pick up the Ancestral Bond keystone unless you already have your totems. I honestly think you should switch to another build mate, if you are frustrated at this point it is probably not going to feel better. A build is a personal preference and if you don't find it to be funny then you probably wont later as well.

I would like to do something w/ cheaper build and kinda tanky, so I saw ur build, i do have some items in my stash that would fix in the Templar, [ Your helmet, and gloves, and a necklace w/ almost all of yours adds], but I don't have all the gems, and i don't have much chaos... Can I just create and keep leveling w/out all of the stuffs? like... Somewhere in the game i'll get the searing bound gem right ? Notice me if i can do it or I'll have to farm/up a little bit longer in my archer so than I can do it... Thx xD ( Sorry 'bout the bad english, Im learning yet :> ) Hey man! You can definitely do that man. The gem is normally available from the Lost in love quest on both normal and cruel difficulty. Another way is to simply go to the trade chat and say: WTB Searing Bond for 1 Alchemy orb. Then after that I would suggest you do the same for the increased burning damage gem.

Just finished Cruel with Lvl52 complete selffound & solo in Bloodlines (got really lucky on vaal oversoul who dropped a belly of the beast for me). THX for the great guide & video. Maybe u can help me out once more?^^ I can't decide if i should run Grace + Vitality or Grace + Determination. By now I'm going with 1H Sceptre & Shield but i will switch to searing touch as soon as i can get my hands on one.

What was the life roll? :) For auras I would go with Grace and Purity of Elements. That combination will not only make you very tanky, it will also greatly increase the defences of the totems :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Dec 16, 2014, 8:10:23 PM Quote this Post
You take Ancestral Bond for Searing Bond, but do several beams stack when overlapped?	Posted by E_Sek#7884 on Dec 17, 2014, 2:30:14 PM Quote this Post
Thx mate, has been a very pleasing 37% life roll. Yeah I'll use Purity until i get the resistance capped out. Would u then switch to vitality or determination. I'm planning to use alphas helmet to push the auras a little bit more and i LOVE the "can't be frozen" part^^	Posted by Raizinho#6874 on Dec 17, 2014, 3:50:06 PM Quote this Post

They do not, however anyone who has played SB will in most cases agree that being able to have 2 totems up makes a huge difference in terms of how it feels to play :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Dec 17, 2014, 6:34:38 PM Quote this Post
