I'd like to point out that if you have the mana to upkeep a 5-6 linked power siphon then elemental hit is superior in every possible way than another power siphon for your 4 link single target attack. The damage is light years higher, the quality bonus is better, it interacts better with things like weapon elemental damage and all your elemental damage boosts, and if you want the power charge just use your aoe linked power siphon for the culling strike last hit.

I've also wondered if Frenzy would be a decent single target stand-in.

thats exactly what im running, i tested the difference between power siphon and elemental hit for single target attacks (very crudely) and it pretty much doubled the dps which is insane, but it does have it's drawback which are reflect mobs.

I don't understand why the build has the node "Slaughter" (+12% Two Handed Physical Damage) instead of the 1 Handed One right below (Swashbuckler) since it uses a One Handed weapon.. Could someone give me a heads up here?
Sorry for the dumb question, 1st templar and kinda new to the game itself.

Check out the completed build or one of the later on sections(wands finally). The one you're looking at is for leveling. It says you can use 2h or 1h+shield for leveling, the skill tree he shows is for 2h leveling.

Once you get to the right level, there's a section where he respecs 4 points and goes wander.

As an additional side note for those who did not fully read Kripps wand templar explanation, i'll reiterate - this build is extremely gear dependent. When i first transitioned into wands around lvl 50+ i was dealing horrible damage even with decent ele rings and a decent ele wand. Try not to overlook +accuracy in your gear or the additional accuracy gem - they will help boost overall dps with you hitting targets more often!



Even with this sort of gear i'm still not doing the overall damage potential of this build.

Can this have 1 more affix? cause my previous wand had +1 more stat

I got he wand for 2 chaos ( with 3 affix - crit multi / mana/light ) and i exalted it 3 times , cause im a real RETARD .

the last physical preffix saves it , but i wanted to be another ele roll , meh.

U guys think its good or bad for 3 exalted? using it atm ,this was my previous wand im selling:

I beat Cruel with like 350 DPS...lol
...My level 16 Unarmed build beats that...


....Now I'm Act 3 Merciless and Doing 1200 DPS with my LMP Power Siphon and 0 Charges.
-I really need a 5/6 link for Chain and Additional accuracy!

I found with having poorish gear around level 66 and just a 5 link chest... I seem to have a faster kill speed with just ps, wed, faster attacks, lmp/gmp, and I use lifesteal/itemrarity(lootwhore) and I use that with projectile weakness.... It's a much better dps set of skills than chain+lmp/gmp and it's less mana taxing than chain+lmp/gmp... I might go chain once I reach around 1.5k dps with it... But right now... I just don't think chain is worth the damage loss .

Tl;dr faster attacks + lmp/gmp + projectile weakness > lmp/gmp + chain with lesser gear. :P

Hi fellow wanders!

I am currently sitting at level 70 and struggling in act 3 merciless with deaths and relatively low DPS. I have tried a couple of maps however, due to number of deaths it really isn't worth it. Was wondering if you could have a look at my gear and make some suggesstions on how I can increase my DPS and survivability?

Current Gear


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

get 5link chest and use your 5th socket as + life leech

life leech on 1 x +4000 armor bottles .

get some AS or crit . ( start looking at rings with X type of elemental dmg / + increase that type of elemental dmg.

Im sitting at 3.3 k hp / 1.6 k dps aoe / 6k dps single target and i can farm anythyin in A3 merciless w/o dying once , thats cause i have loads of leeches .

And the most important get vitality on pieces 3k vitality is the starting point to not die .


When im in trouble i use armor potion (wich i have life leech to it) and i cannot die .

You can use curses aswell like warlord mark for extra life leech and mana leech .
