ReverendBizzarre: ele cleave templar [6k life, 45k+ dps]

This build looks like fun but I have a question. Can templar like this farm/kill maps as fast as casters do? Because I just want to make a farmer char and I cant decide what should I make. This dual wielding templat, LA shadow or any witch cold? what do you think

You'll probably end up with noticeably more AoE dps with this build than a caster. You have to run to the mobs to loot them as a caster, so you can't really claim run time for melee as a hindrance to clear time. It's entirely possible that you can clear maps faster than a caster.
thank you for your response. But I have one more question. Casters can sacrifice some stats to get more quantity/quality because they stay back,behind other party members or minions. what about melee?Since they are the sword and shield can they afford that luxury and get more quality/quantity? Whats your opinion?

You can wear mf gear with it and kill stuff but you will need to do your mf runs in lower level areas since you will probably not be safe in maps.

Is this build viable for soloplay on hc merciless?

thx for help.

Do not level cleave, ever.
Do not level whirling blades or leap slam,depending on your preference of travel.
Level the rest to maximum level.



Why never level cleave if u are a cleave user?

Because leveling it increases the mana cost, and leveling it doesnt provide any bonus for me since im using elemental damage, same applies to whirling blades and leap slam.

You can level it to Level 5. Mana cost increases the first time at lvl 6.

First time take Oak's +40 life (i did not do this since i was unsure at the time if i will go CI or life, that was a mistake)


You recommend taking it? I'm near that decision and i doubt if the 40 hp is rly worth it.
