Templar - [Official] Kripp Wand Templar - Forum

Level 51 now, dealing some damage but still struggling. Characters my level do a lot more DPS than me... I wonder when comes the day that I actually deal as much damage as Krip... :p	Posted by Zoxjib#5083 on Feb 10, 2013, 12:45:57 AM Quote this Post
Loving this build so far. It is my first char and I play almost entirely solo so yeah, I knew it would be a challenge not only getting the necessary gems and gear but also levelling. Good news is it really starts to shine once you get some decent wands. I switched over to dual wands from GS and LS around mid 50s and am lvl 59 now in Merciless having a blast (no pun intended). Doing 3k single target dmg/2.1k AoE and my gear is average at best, hardly optimal so lots of room for improvement still. I love running multiple Auras and playing with a sliver of unreserved mana lol (97.5 regen last time I checked). Great spec, lots of fun and challenging. Thanks to the OP for the build.

Why not Frenzy for your single target attack? The wiki says you can use Frenzy with every weapon type (and even with no weapon). edit: also, why no CI? Reasons I can think of: 1. harder without gear already acquired and this build is already gear dependent 2. you really need the mana from eldritch But in trade, you can use perma blood rage, become immune to chaos damage and have a lot more hitpoints, it also frees up flask slots. Beyond league. Last edited by SEXYSUPERSATAN#0988 on Feb 10, 2013, 4:53:48 AM	Posted by SEXYSUPERSATAN#0988 on Feb 10, 2013, 4:51:30 AM Quote this Post
Level 72 with a lot of success. Solo for the most part and I found leveling and farming a breeze. This is also my first character in PoE so I was fresh coming in. Nearly 7k single target with 7 charges up and 1.5k AoE and my gear isn't great, although I do have a very nice ele wand which helps a lot.

Taken from the Path of Exile Wiki: Spoiler Shock Shock causes affected targets to take increased damage. This can be stacked up to three times on one target. In this state, monsters or players take 40% more damage per instance of Shock from all sources. Under the effects of 3 stacks of Shock, an enemy would take 220% of the damage that would normally be done without any Shock effects, no matter the type or source of the damage. Now with shock applying on crit and Power Siphon generating Power Charges, which increases your crit chance, you will be shocking targets a lot and that doesn't take into account that the Static Blows node gives you 20% chance to shock on hit. Power Siphon also has Culling Strike built into it.
