Im running a templar dual totem build.
I hit 50 and went into cruel and hit a brick wall. At the moment Im running a 4 link (Spell totem, ice spear, reduced mana, and lesser multiple projectiles. And Im running zombies with minion life. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAnEEswVbDH0QfxRNGjgpTyynMtE62ENjRUdG103YWPVZ81orXcZgbWKsZp5xTXyDgW-LjIx2j0aQVZrPm6GdxJ48oW2iAKPypwinhLUEtzG4k8Aaxp7N-tDQ1p3d8-Fz5CLsOO0g8B_31w== This is my spec at lvl50 Faster Casting is nowhere in sights and I feel this is needed at the moment, I kill stuff so slow at the moment at the point where it's getting extremely risky even though I have okey survivability. Any advice, i know this is as a templar but its the same concept? Ingame @Hammarturken

hi,
because of patch, it makes no sense no connect GMP lvl 1 @ charlvl31 with spell totem+ice spear right? because it would do -90% dmg. instead, i start with LMP+spell totem+ice spear and just lvling GMP until it gets more +xx% dmg? |

" Agreed. Plus all you have to do is throw traps in front of your totems and between the freezing that'll happen due to curses and the traps, nothing should be getting close to them. Also baiting mobs into your totems is a good idea to increase their effectiveness. |
|
" Faster Casting is a quest reward for Witches around level 40. If you have any friends ask them to pick you up another, as you get more in A3. Otherwise you're going to have to go to trade. I leveled a ranger to 10 to get lesser projectile and save myself orbs/currency |

Does anyone have a video of this clearing high level maps? I'd like to see it in all it's glorious actions :D
I've been seeing a ton of EK shadows lately and wanted to see if this can compete in terms of speed of clearing and safety |

" It's multiplicative chain + gmp = .5 *.5 = .25 effectiveness (-75%). chain + lmp = .7 * .5 = .35 effectiveness (-65%). If you are in a group, you want as much ice on the screen as possible for CC. If you are solo for some reason then yes, figure out how much damage works for you. |

just to tell i am 51 act 1 merc now. well boss may give ab it hard time, but party up and it would fix.
would think the biggest problem is to get the core gems and linked armor etc for multi your ice spear shoot and down the mana cost, but since you have clarity and let say not enough socket for reduce mana to spear. use it on those aura instead. higher level increase your mana pool and so clarity. i don't have reduce mana on my spear totem. but still i can cast 2 and curse like normally. gears only need linked. doesn't really matter if it's rare uniqure or something. aim for mana regeneration spell damage and shield. easily as that :) for me increasing spear speed and multi shoot is importan for faster kill. try not overlevel your spear if you don't have enough regen mana to use it. should i get third curse? i can curse 2. one normaly and 1 thanks to my ring. what are your opinion? and thanks hypershatter for this build ;) learned some stuff so i can make my own build later and have the ability to farm for other class items :) tip: play in party. if you have a hard time. do everything to get your core gem. trade currency do whatever. higher level + items + core gems = faster level and farm. it may be overpriced a bit but. you rather spend the double and get quadro later? not to say you can also use the gems again on other build if you want ;) hyper what more can i improve ? my gear haven't changed since i posted it. so any tip? i just got my bear trap, but doesn't damage that much. i can solo pretty much but seeing chaos and boss i may need more time to kill them. should i go IC ? got around 400 hp and 900 shield. just because this build is easy to get strong doesn't mean you can expect trash gear to make you strong. still need work anyway. must say the biggest cons is vs boss then since you got nothing to worth mention to tank.

People that follow my build thoroughly benefit much more than those that don't.
I advise carrying bear and fire traps. People that followed my advice now got high lvl traps that can easily destroy bosses (merciless oak). Look in the thread. I advise conversion trap. Few people that followed my advise can clear the impossible packs by converting strongest mobs. People that have minions instead cannot defend well in merciless. I advise people to not use gmp and ci until good gear and near end game. IGN: hyperculler (torment)

" 3 curses is great for party play, otherwise I find it unimportant. I suggest you don't go IC till you have all the extra shadow and templar talents that grant bonus to ES. That should be done around level 65 or higher edit: If you don't have the ring that allows extra curses or the boots that were mentioned earlier, you can use your frostbite and temporal at merciless, otherwise at the lower difficulties you can use ele weakness and frostbite. If you have the boots or the ring, do all 3 edit2: I can't stress enough what Hypershatter has said, follow the build to the letter. It works - greatly infact. If you're finding that you're struggling from 1-40 that's fine, as soon as you hit your stride in 40-50's everything is smooth sailing. You should not be dying that often, and chaos damage isn't really an issue till merciless anyways. Last edited by grimwald#5897 on Jan 28, 2013, 2:31:53 PM
