Next points will go into the 12% live nodes, lava lash and blood drinker. Does anyone see any glaring errors with this build so far?	Posted by Velr#4858 on Feb 17, 2013, 3:02:16 PM Quote this Post

Hi guys! Sorry for being MIA. I'm a tax accountant so right now is ridiculously busy for us. I'm going to be uploading a video tomorrow with my updated thoughts on the LS templar. Overall pretty good tanky build, simple to play, but alas very low in DPS and can be rather boring.	Posted by Thehealthygamer#1756 on Feb 17, 2013, 9:29:57 PM Quote this Post

I'm about to watch your video now, is Iron Grip worth using for LS? If not I don't mind respeccing those 8 points into the marauder tree. edit: not much in the video. Last edited by Gorgatron#2975 on Feb 18, 2013, 11:49:06 PM	Posted by Gorgatron#2975 on Feb 18, 2013, 8:14:12 PM Quote this Post

The first video talks about the build more in-depth. Second one is just a brief overview for those interested in trying the build. I didn't see a need to spend 8 minutes rehashing stuff that would be easier to read as a person needed it.	Posted by Thehealthygamer#1756 on Feb 19, 2013, 11:20:55 AM Quote this Post
Wondering how this build compares to this blood magic build for survivability? http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/82518 The fairest flowers bloom in the foulest places.	Posted by Losse#5419 on Feb 19, 2013, 4:01:29 PM Quote this Post

I, and most other people in this thread, only do about 1.5k dps, maybe 2 the max. When in a group, I'm embarrassed to attack a monster by myself, because of how little life is taken from the monsters. #2.) Low survivability. Even with max resist, this build is not too great for surviving. With the decoy totem, you can solo, but it is very tedious. A lot of kiting, totem casting, and coupled with the low dps, it makes for an extremely unpleasant solo experience. Not to mention, it's almost impossible to solo named monsters. agree with this. im lvl62 atm and got the same problem. in solo its ok, you can do some stuff, but if you see what other guys do, in party play, its just soooo meeeh. i think my equip is quiet decent (for a newbie) but i dont know if ill keep investing in the ls-templar any longer. i feel like ias is very low, hp is low too. archers and casters give you hard time. itembuild:	Posted by hunTShoo#6713 on Feb 20, 2013, 5:59:50 AM Quote this Post
I agree with you guys, IMO this is a good learning build for getting your feet wet in the game as it is super simple to gear/play, but for end-game viability it seems to be pretty lackluster in most areas. Great input from everyone.	Posted by Thehealthygamer#1756 on Feb 20, 2013, 8:12:16 AM Quote this Post
