You have any idea if this build is viable for shadow? i heared its strong but found no build. Can u show me a tree

have this tree. Im using this build maybe i will make small changes on change order pick passives. But it works fine

Great Build! Reached level 66 on Nemesis with it but then i died on docks to a Nemesis-Dog (that one who breath blue fire or something). My lack of Resis was killing me. I was instantly dead...couldn't even alt+f4 :D

Solo was no problem but i felt useless in parties because of the low DPS. Sure, i was tanky as hell but i guess that's the price for it when you want to be tanky.

I've tried this God build, playing through Cruel in Act 3. Level 50 atm.

Some things I've learnt to far:
1) Get Elemental Resistance as Priority. Better to not die than a killing machine which dies in few hits. My resistance for each element right now is 80%, and have a few more resistance skills have yet to pick.
2) Get a good weapon and you will have decent DPS. I'm using a weapon I got 15 levels ago, but it has a 98% increase to physical damage modifier, giving my Lightning Strike around 900 dps.
3) Having so much +% damage to Maces or whatever weapon you're using is wasted if you don't up your strength. The multiplier works on what strength you have. Finding the right balance between strength and the % increase multiplier is important.

Changes from OP's build:
1) Didn't go for blood magic.
*This made me be able to run 2 auras:
a) Clarity + Blood Magic (reserves about 300+ of my health for good mana regen)
b) Purity (for additional elemental resistance)
2) I didn't go for some points at the start of the tree which gave 8% to maximum life. The extra skill point can be use further near the duelist tree for +12% maximum life and other powerful milestone abilities.

WTFLOL: I find my DPS to be fine when in a group. Group synergy is most important rather than being able to kill the most. I group with a ranger, witch and a marauder. I am playing the tank and doing a superb job with this build. The witch and ranger didn't put much skills into survivability and they get 1-hit many times a rogue monster goes after them, or if they get too close. I guess its not much fun to be dying often and losing hard earned XP.

The advantage of being tanky is you can solo without any problems. My teammates have to play to much hide-and-seek when soloing as they have no one to tank for them.

This build is pretty versatile in that aspect. Gonna go to Merciless soon and report my findings.

uhm this is actually quite a branch off,
because i won't be using lightning strike as my main DPS skill (but I still got it, too late to figure out i liked something better), i'm currently using Infernal blow + melee splash for my main DPS, it would be greatly appreciated if you would rate my build and give your own thoughts about it.

this is just a rough quick draft of how my almost end game would look like (tried getting everything important with close to 80p cause other people said 80 must've been enough):



currently at level 25 Templar (Dominion, almost 5 days since i started playing), figure we had the same starting build, not always face tanking though, i don't know what i am doing wrong, especially inside the Crypt where you get the golden hand in act 2, those elemental skeletons were a pain in the ass, especially when there's 20+ of them ganging up on you and you didn't see another mob resurrecting the ones you've just killed.

Was first a lightning strike Templar, until i got the melee splash support gem and was amazed by the exploding bodies. +1 for gore. :)

cheers mate, do hope you consider helping. :) sorry for the long post!

does passive skills like "increase physical dmg with mace" increase my lightning strike dmg?
and how do i get past that 75% resist?

currently in nemesis lvl 40 with this build
