EA Templar, or how to deal up to 350k dps.

is it possible to play this spec without Elemental Equillibrium?

died on my 42 EA templar :(

really sad I was having so much fun on it too, melted 98% of packs in 2 shots

and after all that I die because I opened the passive window in front of haste archers :(

Possible, but why you should? Its a free -50% res.

earlier i read your post which said the explosion adds your lightning damage and i am confused. if your explosion does fire damage and adds lightning cause of wrath/ALD what happens with EE? which elemental resist do they get and weak to after explosion?
1. EA you stack 5 fuse = monster gets +res fire (does it get lightning res too from wrath/ald?)
2. split arrow with wrath/ald = +res lightning
3. EA explodes = +res fire (does it get + res lightning from wrath/ALD?)
4. split arrow with wrath/ald
does this make sense^ ? i dont know what happens when you use two elementals with the node EE
also i agree with pastromy. if you one shot whites with EA why do you need to try and shock? is isn't it better to put the skill nodes somewhere else like health?

No, why all people think Explosiv arrow makes firedmg when it hits? It adds fire dmg ONLY when it explodes, NOT before! (I very very often get telled this question, and in my opinion, its a very stupid question)
So when the arrow hit, i only deal lighningdmg, cold and phys dmg to the enemy. So he gets +25% coldresist, +25%lighningresist, -50% fireresist.

and -50% fireres and +25cold res, cause i also deal colddmg. BTw i do not have added lighningdmg in the split arrow.

Wrath does not get added to the explosion, casue its ldmg on atack, the explosion isnt a attack. The added lighningdmg get added, because it adds ligningdmg to the hit, and the explosion is a hit, and thats the sense behind linking added lighning dmg in it. The arrow explodes, hit all monsters with significant ligning and fire dmg, the most monsters get set on fire, ALL monsters get 0-3 shockstacks because shock gets also spread by elemtal proliferation.

Only with wrath, and wrath i do not turn on, i have lighningdmg on equip.

What monsters you enconter the most time in mercyless?

A rare, surrounded by white monsters.

Lets see what happen: 5 stack of ea, explodes, all whites die, spreading burndgm AND SHOCK, the rare gets heavylie burned AND 3 STACKS OF SHOCK, and also falls very fast.
Just look my shock demonstration video, it obivios show how i add 3 shockstacks to an mapboss.

EE triggers when you deal elemtantal dmg with a hit (elemts are fire, cold and lighning).
The monster that get hits gets +25% to all elementals YOU DEAL with the hit, and -50% to all elements you DO NOT deal with the hit. Lasts around 5 seconds or when it gets retriggert.

NO you not get -100% resistenz, if you deal 2 elemtents and 1 not.
NO you do not get -75% to all resistenz if you deal all 3 elements.
YES you heard right, the monster gets 25% to all resistenz, if you deal all elementals on hit, and YES this is bad.

But better had choosen life/skill/skill.

You should add this under F.A.Q., and possibly explain why.
Your build is to say the least awkard, but it is not deniable that it works.
Since I'm pretty new to the game I find hard to understand exactly how the EE should work in this complicated situation, though you did your best to explain it, and I'll just do a jump of faith trusting you.

Can you also add the full build that you would do having ALL the skill points?
Since I've never played the game at the 2 higher difficulty level I'm not able to plan that build because I don't know what to expect.
I've heard that there are a lot of stuns.
I yet can't quite understand why everybody (but CI witches), relies so heavily in stacking HP and %hp increase.

Thanks for replying I understand everything now :)

The good thing at explosiv arrow is, that its very comfortable to use with Elemetal equilibrium.

But if you do not whant to deal 100% more dmg for one single point...youre choice, this character still will make more dmg than any common builds.

Your build rocks dude! I got Quill Rain and Cloak of Flames super cheap. I just don't see how to get a 6L. Hope it works with 2 EA arrows in 2 4L items aswell (single and aoe).
I don't understand why people don't like EE, its so easy and simple ^^

thumbs up, really nice build

(ps: going to use the new increased burning dmg support on the single EA :=)
