I really want a Templar God build like this but one that uses mana instead of blood magic that runs a lot of aura's.

If you can get a crap ton of aura's couldn't you make a better build then going blood magic?

If you can get in eldrich battery into a build like this it would be great. I am pretty sure there are items that make you stun proof later on so its no big deal worrying about unwavering stance.

I was looking for a nice lightning strike templar guide. But, as a newbie player, i have 2 questions.

1 - Can i use this build in default league? Because I searched a lot and did not find any other guide like this.

2 - Which stat should I give priority in the gear? +HP? +Armor? +ES?

Thank You, and sorry for my bad English ;P

How does this build doe endgame?
Solo that is.

I can understand small groups/bosses are not gonna be a problem, but since LS hits 3 targets max (without chain or quality (piercing effect)), isn't the clearing speed very slow?

Or am i missing something here?

Yea, not really questioning survivability (well i do wonder if the lifeleech from gem alone will suffice)

I just can't see how you kill groups fast with Lightning strike. (not perse damagewise, but more the fact you hit 3 mobs max)

Update to how the build is holding up.

Cruel act 3 @ lvl 49.

Can face tank most creeps but cannot get swarmed by blue elites (will still die) or if alot of chaos snake shooters.
Chaos dmg is the most painful right now cause of lack of chaos resist.
Can face tank most uniques/bosses except Vaal's 1 hit smash.

@ 1.5k HP right now.

This is my 88 points version.

You can see that my gear really is medicore yet i am holding good.

Main Skills I am using:

- Heavy strike + life leech
- LS + Life Hit on Gain + Wpn Elem Dmg.
- Warlord's Mark (help alot)
- Rejuv Totem (help alot too)
- Leap Slam as escape mechanism.
- Tempest Shield + reduced mana + iron will (optional, tempest shield i find dont really help in dps as our intel is low but it could be just me not realizing *helps abit with archer tho*)
- Low level wrath as this build dont cater for intel.
- Go for all life flasks and 1 granite.

- I am thinking of going Molten shield for the extra armor. havent really test yet.


Once you have blood magic, Wrath is not an issue maintaining it. Also casting spells is really pansy, you have no worries of lack of mana.

I switch between Heavy strike & LS depending on single or multi dps.
if you get swamped, leap out and put a rejuv totem behind you and FACETANK AGAIN.

If the room is full of multi-proj elemental skeletons, you have to kill 1-2 before you can facetank the rest with LS (have to be LS since you can regen with Life Gain On Hit as projectiles counts too)

Dmg is decent altho not as high as I would like.

Heavy strike is at 420++ DPS
LS is at 450++ DPS, but if i socket Add Melee Phys it will go up to 550+ however I do not have any good linked armor yet...

Go for HP/ high value Armors.
Go for Physical DPS value.
All resists.
Block chance is good also, but secondary.

P.S: Flesh, is unwavering stance really necessary or good? i dont find myself getting stunned alot. altho we dont focus on evasion, having 10% evasion still help? what is you guys take on this?
