Does this build work with a templar too?

My marauder is meele lvl 55 dont wana play the same class twice. And the templar seems to start right next to all that sweet + damage nodes and can reach all the important nods at least as fast as a marauder.

overall templar is similar to marauder, as you want to rush RT, BM, static blow
but true, you waste certain pts at the starting of the templar tree

Well i think i will survives with one skill point wasted ;)

And i dont want to see that big, strong, titan like bear type man wearing a lil bow and throwing sticks ;) Thats the job of an old, slim type of man... like a templar.

Thank you very much. Guess i will give it a try next weekend.

Btw how do you guys deal with Oak?
i find bower very difficult to fight him...

Decoy totem is ur friend , + i can tank oak with my hp / armor . so just face tank him :)

I just beat him on cruel. It wasn't particularly hard, but it took a while. I used a lot of decoy totem and a lot of kiting around one of the tents in his camp while I regained health. Just put an obstacle between you and him to stop him from leaping at you.

bro i just beat him on cruel too, using similar method
but the problem is that it takes too long, as sometimes he will ignore the decoy to leap on you.

For AoE you can pick between: Lightning Arrow, Split Shot, Ice Shot (even Frenzy or Elemental Hit)

So whatever you like; pursue it. One guy a few posts back said he doesn't like Split Arrow because of the aiming mechanism, so he's not using it.

If you want to min/max with definite favourites than yes, LA and EH win.

yup, that was me.

also, i did the math:

LA = 50% of physical dmg converted to lightning. splash dmg up to 3 monsters @ 70% of that.
50% x 70% = 35% of physical dmg. 3 monsters x 35% = 105%

so LA's splash dmg = 105% + 100% for the actual arrow = 205%
Fork it, and you have 410% dmg!


Split arrow = 80% of phys dmg. at 3 arrows, thats 240% dmg.
now you might say Fork that and you have 480%.
my problem is that most of these forked arrows dont hit anything.

plus as Ven said, i dont like the aiming system of Split arrows to get a tighter arc

I have a silly question but i didnt see this anywhere on the guide, maybe its here but didnt see it

What type of gear do you use as a bow marauder, armor? armor/evasion? or evasion?
