Any chance you could put up a skill tree for a Templar for this same build? Thanks!

There's nothing to it, just connect the 5 templar starting nodes of your choice to the original tree.

Nice gem indeed... the 25% mana reservation.... the only thing that comes to my mind is running it with warlords mark for mana issues...
But now we have to work that in with the other aura's....

Yes, GGG encourages us even more to choose auras carefully, which is good IMO. The number of auras that are useful is higher than the number of auras you can actually use, which means choosing the ones that you actually DO use will require a certain amount of planning and thinking: do I want more dps or more tankiness? do I want more utility (leech) or dps? etc.

right now I run hatred/hoa for dps vs grace/purity for tank situations

debating if elemental weakness is better than hatred considering i use added fire in support gems and hoa.
if i remove hatred it would give me the chance to run warlords mark+elemental weakness+ hoa


since curses get converted to aura's do you actually need dual curse items for this kind of setup? for multiple curse->aura effects?

Dual curse would be an overkill imo, for this build ofc. Some other builds would proly love it.

true.

Then afaik elemental weakness > hoa with 25% mana reservation.

Offensive

Hatred | generosity+blasphemy+ elemental weakness

Defensive
Grace/Determination |generosity+blasphemy+ Warlords Mark/Enfeeble

Serge what are your dps stats?

Playing fallout 4 atm.

I dun goofed ... had spare regrets and respec axe nodes to all mace nodes and used a doriyani..
36k dps to 24kdps *boom* with hatred/hoa....
should have just stuck with using
408 pdps axe.
looks like
I just wanted to get 40k dps blood magic type spammable with life leech without conc effect.... on a 1h with the tankiness of this build...

Which used to be possible via bloodrage before the fked it up and made it affect ES....
cant sustain es regen with blood rage...

been debating a lot on just going with blood magic on the 6L and going blood rage for increased dps and leech + warlords mark

then id have to get rid of the aegis 4% ... rule out the aegis mechanic and go for a lioneyes remorse for an armor boost
making the effective auras grace+warlords mark+elemental weakness....

its been so long and i seem to have forgotten the greatness of ES replenish mechanic of aegis...
is it really That Great? you have about 600 ES - which might as well be 600 more hp... it gets replenished when you block... most of the higher level mobs and rares hit for higher than 600 making the ES take the first hit

because es comes before armor damage mitigation right? all the crit shots hit you for a lot more than 600...

would it really be that bad to ditch the aegis aurora mechanic? we are going to block what ever we we can with the existing shield block and spell block...

is there a way to break 40k dps on 1hander+ Aegis with inc AOE and make it Spammable ?
the skill has 0.48 sec cast time and 51 mana cost and with left over mana of 56 after reserving 3... grace ( for aegis aurora high armor value) +Elemental weakness+WarlordsMark..

would you be able to get back mana quickly with leech? of warlords mark? Even by running clarity on blood you would be breaking 51 mana regen per sec but you need about 125-150 mana regen per sec to have it safely spammable...

Oh boy, the changes in 2.1 are LOVELY! Melee splash buffed, lowered mana cost of melee skills, more mana leech in the tree... These are HUGE for this build!

Gonna post an updated passive tree soon.

Updated for 2.1.! Here's the skill tree:
