One reason we like three dragons is because it boosts our dps tremendously allowing us to go even longer without having to take any physical damage nodes. I am about to hit 70, running maps upwards of 74 since 64...cant find any higher level ones any my dps is more then enough. The only nodes I have are the templar WED and the templar 2h dmg. TT with my set up pushes 10K+ with my all my buffs.

<be switching to 1h+shield come Doryani's Catalyst>

I am lvl 78 and also wanting to switch to a 1h+shield combo when i can afford a doryani, so what would u suggest as a skill tree when u switch.

Does the AoF compensate it's disadvantage (no leech from gear)? Giving up two support gems in a 5L seems a serious letdown in DPS. Maybe one can try to run with mana regen gear and clarity to save one slot, but then you won't be able to run no regen maps (and 50% regen maps are likely to be missed also) .

I'm trying to build on physical leech (in gear and blood rage), but the 60% fire conversion doesn't make it easy. I'm using supports that buff the physical DPS part of the projectiles:
MS + multistrike + faster attack + conc effect + physical projectile attack damage

Auras are grace + hatred.

What do you guys think of this setup? The higher physical part of the damage also means that fire resistant mobs don't bother me that much. I know that WED is the best support for this skill in terms of DPS, but it does nothing for my leech.
ATM I'm doing early maps (68-69) quite easily with 2% mana leech on gear + blood rage, also using warlord's mark for tight situations.

My desired tree for L88 (started as duelist, but no big difference from mara):

I don't know if I get the wrong passive or anything.
Just an average funded player here (don't have that good items).

Basically what I have are just mediocre items that maintain a 75% resistance.
I put too many points in 2h physical damage so I will stick with it, besides I love 2handed sword.

My problem now is armour and my physical damage reduction.

lvl 66+ maps that deals physical damage hits a lot. (Jumping goatman, giant skeletons, skeleton archers, map brutus and any other mob that deals physical damage) The only thing that keeps me alive is my attackspeed and/or LGOH gem.

I'm lvl 67 molten strike templar and have about 1.9k armor here with 26% physical reduction and 2400~ hp and I get 1 shot by the map brutus(dungeon map).


1. Should i get hp+armour nodes ? or increase armour nodes?
2. Should I run aura ? I am currently using BM Passive so if I run determination, I'll have to remove that skill.
3. Is increase armour nodes common among templar/marauder players or do everybody skip them?

Tool tip dps: 5.6k
If I remove my +40% IAS skill gem , it drops to about 4.3k

General plan is to maybe..replace faster attack gem with a BM gem and switch to using determination for more armour. I have a quality LL but am using LGOH I might test out which is better for me.
