The Lightning Templar [Community Builds]
" What level are you? What is your gear like Mana Regen & Int Wise? What support gems are you running on LS? | |
" I had this problem at level 30, but now at 40+ with Eldritch Battery and some better regen rings i can spam LS without any problems now. Only suport i have so far is Weapon elementar damage for LS, just waiting for the others to drop, Lesser Projectile and Mana Leech or maby u have any better sugestions? The build so far and now i think its time to focus on defencive nods. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAnEEBwSzBVsaOB0UHwIjTS0fMok2xUA2Q2NEckyzTdhRYFfiWPVZ82aebRlxTXKpd-V82YFvgh6ExIx2j0aQVZrPncSePKIApwinhKmVrKq0-bcxwBrB89gk2wvsOPAf-tI= Do u think it would work to go for Iron Grip and pick up life and other defencive nods on the way to it. Or aint Iron Grip worth the extra damage to projectiles? I would love to have some really good AoE with LS. |

" Cant really speak for Iron Grip. I am in my early 50's atm and had some mana issues similar to you before. Once I was able to get mana leech on my LS it all essentially went away and I didn't need to run clarity or anything. Im not sure what the impact of getting Eldritch Battery will have endgame with this build but I assume it will have a subsansial impact on your tankiness.

My lightning strike variant, with one-hand sword/shield:
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/75285 " Grab Iron Grip if you're going to end up with a build that stacks lots of STR - I'd say at least 250+ base, but the more the merrier. As said before, it only adds damage to the projectile portions of LS; it's easy to mistakenly assume that Iron Grip "brings back" the power of the projectiles to the same as the melee portion of the attack. xeroslash - One-Hand/Shield Lightning Strike Templar

Because elemental weakness is more useful. It reduces a mobs resistance to all elements and with your passives you already have a high chance to shock. Also most weapons or the ones I use have more than one elemental dmg on them which is multiplied with my %elemental dmg so I receive a bigger dps increase with EW over conductivity and in some cases can even cause a mob to become "vulnerable" to certain elemental dmg's. Also if in a party with other casters it ups their dmg as well.

first of all, how can you know which one of them gave you a "bigger dps increase"? do you have some indication of how much you actually hit the mob for?
second of all, its a build\gear related question, my wrath is lvl 15 and my clarity is lvl 13, tempest shield is something like that as well (dont remember :X), my mana pool was about 435~ish, and i could not for the sake of me keep all 3 auras + LS\totem\curse. My LS is LS+Phys dmg+Ele dmg+Faster attacks\LMP (i switch between them), it's about 36mana with FA and about 46 with LMP, casting time 0.46~\0.6~. Totem is Shock Nova + Totem + Ele Prof + reduced mana (93 mana, no knockback yet). Im lvl 64 btw, I had to respec about 9 points from different %blocks to get the templar mana route, up to 2nd 8% mana (8% ele dmg+ 8% ele dmg + 5% ele dmg, Celestial Walker, 10 int, 8% increased mana, 8% increased mana, prestidigitation). Mana pool is now about 516 if i'm not wrong. Tempest shield + Iron will + reduced mana + Elemental prof. Both clarity and Wrath are connected to the same support gem - Reduced Mana 16. Before that i had about 20~ mana per sec regeneration from gear only (no clarity) and i was ALWAYS starved and could not hold tempest shield + wrath + clarity (not even low lvl one). Now once i took these 9 points i can hold clarity 13, wrath 15 and my tempest shield (had to take elemental prof down from tempest shield to make it possible :(, and also Increased AOE from both auras), but now i got about 100 free mana with 70~ mana\sec regeneration... Did i make a horrible mistake? im not low lvl anymore and mana is still a HUGE problem for me... Also my DPS is fairly low (for my opinion...), its about 1250 solo and 1950 FULL part buffs... (not calculating shock stacks). I'd love some help, and i'd be more than happy to upload my build (it's like OP but with mana route instaed of a few %blocks), and even my gear (if someone will tell me how :X). Thanks alot in advance for the help. Last edited by Gaiosan#7757 on Feb 25, 2013, 4:58:39 AM

" first thing first....why lv 13 clarity? you should not at any point leveled clarity more than lv 3 without high pool of mana or you could try LS+faster attack+LMP+ mana leech + ele damage (5L chest) [you can swap mana leech with reduced mana but i think mana leech is better] , tempest+clarity+determination/wrath+reduced mana (4L glove/boots/shield) determination can also be used by using reduced mana in another gear like helmet ranged attack totem or another good totem link with increase area of effect and increased duration + another good support gem (4L gear) ele damage + added fire damage + MPD/ faster attack + heavy strike (Q20 for increase in attack speed) for one target is good boost you have to get decent gear for this build imo, that's the real downside IGN: Deorama Last edited by glenntmm#4324 on Feb 25, 2013, 6:48:12 AM

Hey!
First of all, props for this guide (as opposed to just a link to a passive build and two lines bragging), out of all the LS guides, this one is my favourite (probably because this is the only one that takes Inner Force. IF is awesome. :)) This is not why I post. I actually have a question: For Lightning Strike, the original guide recommends LMP besides the obvious support gem choices (Melee physical, Weapon elemental, ASpd, Mana leech), but AFAIK, that was written before Fork or Chain were a thing. Can some more experienced player answer this for me: Which of the following would be the best gem today for that slot? - Lesser Multiple Projectiles - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Fork - Chain - Pierce Also, is there a reason why there is no lightning penetration linked? Do the ASpd or the ele damage gems give more DPS (when Conductivity is factored in as well)? Real men play HC with Chaos Inoculation and Eldritch Battery.
