** DISCHARGE is OP (Video Included 65k dps, 4 min Lunaris 3 + Piety) . DPS SPREADSHEET Added.

In case anybody wants to still roll as Templar -

Here is a templar build. Don't think I missed any node from before and it's a tiny bit more efficient than before, I think.

The difference between Scion and Templar are small. Scion has 40% increased total mana (almost counteracting Voll's armour) but misses out on 8% AoE damage, 12% AoE range as well as ~10% elemental damage. She gains 40% mana regen and should have a higher ES pool as she grabs more int nodes overall.

I don't know how that affects auras. Will edit that in when I respec my Standard templar to the above tree.

Edit: This build has 2 more endurance charges and a slightly lower crit chance than before (see the 3 missing crit chance nodes from witch tree). Last 3 nodes can be grabbed when you're level 88. Likewise, Elemental Adaptation could be grabbed to sort-of counteract the nerf to purity.

Edit2: Okay, I can safely run 2 auras (purity + discipline). Clarity level 10 is not viable anymore, however I could run a level 3 one.

Edit3: 7 endurance, 7 power charges with my templar. 73k dps, 33% damage reduced, 4.9k ES, a slight buff of 200 ES total.

In summary, this build was slightly buffed with the 1.0 patch! :)

can we still use Voidbringer? Ive heard they increased the cost of discharge and u cant even cast 2 discharge in a row now...

Voidbringer increase 80% the spell cost I believe.

That's was ok, I should be really hard now.

MyTeacherTouchesMe : I dont understand how u get so much DPS ! :o

Before the patch my templar get 7 power charges, 3 Endurance & 3 Frenzy. I was lvl 78 with almost unique stuff and 25k DPS

high level char+mirrored shield is the answer

A question, how viable would a HP based tanky discharger be on nemesis in your opinion?
not looking for a extreme dps build, want a decent amount of dps with high survivability.

thanks in advance

You would lose out on the lowlife bonus of Pain Attunement. As long as you grab US it shouldn't make much of a difference if you go high ES or high life -- but be aware that running 2 auras will be tough for you, unless you grab lots of nodes for that which results in less crit nodes and.. well you get the idea, less overall dps. Please be aware that crit chance is everything when it comes to discharge due to Voll's armour. Not critting is deadly.

Not really, in fact the extra spell damage is not needed. Any ES shield with high crit chance will do, can get that much cheaper. Lets assume my shield without 67% spell damage would result in 6k less overall dps, what's the difference between 67k and 73k? Especially when you cast crit weakness it should be negligible.

If anything, the biggest difference could be my 20/20 gems and other people's gems that are level 20 or lower.

For the record again, my character.

Can anyone confirm if its still possible to use Voidbringer (with deep thoughts + possibly Dream Fragments)? Or do I have to dump another 15 ex which I dont have for a pair of rare gloves?

Is it even feasible to have a discharge build without Voll's Protector? Considering the new leagues with no abundance of uniques yet.. I'm guessing it will be somewhat hard to get.

Give me a couple of weeks and I'll answer that. You could run a 5L with PCoC, discharge, increased AoE, increased crit and life leech, I guess. The issue, as always, is critting enough.

The good thing is that this build no longer can run the IIQ gem in the new leagues. So a 5L setup is sufficient and getting a 5L item should be affordable after some time. They increased chances of getting 4L so getting the 4L setup from my gloves and helmet should be easy as well.

Ah, yea - hadn't thought of PCoC. Thanks!

I guess I'll give it a go anyway.. Maybe throw in Blood Rage as well and see how it goes.
