Hardcore League: Templar GOD Build

So err, i'm quite newbie in this game, and have a lil' question.

What exactly are the recommended support gems for this build? I took a +xx% Weapon Elemental Dmg, and now see in a quest reward a Added Fire Dmg. So which one is the good one?

Thanks!



Note: for now (playing in normal as the noob I am), i didn't have any trouble going with this build on early lvs. Just grabbed some Ground Slam (pretty good for lv 1-10) and Molten Shield/Shield Charge (Molten is just overpowered lv 11-20 to clean big bunches of mobs).

Love this guide so far!

What level are you then?

What level are you then Freshbrewed?

What would be the best curse to use with this build? Considering you're quite a tanky guy that can take lots of punishment then I guess the Punishment or Vulnerability curse would be okay? Even Elemental Weakness would be neat with the elemental damage this build does.

Can't wait to get to higher levels to really work out this build.

I can't really say right now as I haven't tested those out yet. I just made a raw build for everyone to use. Ofcourse I pointed out the important skills to use with the designed build but after that, it's a matter of imagination: players can do whatever they want, however they want :)

Thanks for the support!

Elemental Damage is the better choice. Ofcourse you can use Added fire damage, too to buff your damage output. Good to hear! Atleast this build shouldn't be hard on Normal League, haha. Yep Shield Charge is good skill to use with this build, good job! I'm using Molten Shield also for faster map clearing.

Thank you ^^

I'm at this moment 30. I switched to Marauder for some time, now I'm back to Templar. I will level slowly cause I have matriculation examinations coming up and I have to read on them :/.. I'm keen on seeing your progress, and this applies to everyone else! ^^

my templar is 40 now using the slight modified build of this. I am surviving in cruel act 2 soloing.

will update again once i reach a major milestone which is the bloodstone. but at the moment i am having major mana issue with wrath + tempest and lightning strike on going.

need to go blood to see how it work out.

Is There any Reason Why to start as templar? I can see that probably similar Results can be achieved With marauder, am i wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance for any answer... I dont Know which one i should choose.

Yep, almost identical build can be achieved by Marauder. I toyed with my build to make Marauder GOD build, will post it shortly on Marauder section :) Marauder is nice for it's brutish look but Templar is more build diversity-oriented.

I am following your build and i'm liking it, but I have issues with accuracy. I have around 25% miss rate, is there anything I should do about it?

p.s. What should we do with the bandits in the different difficulty levels?

cloudscraper: just take it easy, soon you will get Resolute Technique and will no longer miss :P.

Hi! I've played following this build on hardcore (managed to get to 37 so far) and I'm loving it! But one question I had in mind: Which defensive stats/armor type should I go for? At first I thought it was armour/energy shield but now with nearly all the intelligence nodes gone, should I just focus on armour?

Thanks! :)
