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

Hi. I am at the stage where I am a little bit confused as to what parts of my gear I need to upgrade most in order to benefit most from this build. My current gear is


If anybody has time to make some recommendations, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

@GRgod

I'm not that high lvl yet so I may be wrong, but..
a) why use heavy strike and spectral throw? I get great results using cleave + dual strike

b) The firing has no flat elemental damage, so that can be upgraded

c) Elemental hit isn't bad, but I don't know if it works well with dualwielding


Gear looks great, but as I said before I haven't even reached that high lvl yet
kinda jelly now ^^



I have a question of my own:
Is it worth running wrath+anger to increase damage (in that case I do need to pick up reduced mana passives or just wait till the mana gem drops?)

I'm at Normal Dominus now with 800 dps on dual hit (300 on cleave) biggest issue is finding the right linked items and multiple gems (I want added lighting damage)

Thanks for the reply. Only use heavy strike to finish rares for the rarity. Always use cleave. Having spectral thrown seems to come in handy sometimes for ranged attacks.

Anyway, my question was about gear, so it is good to know it is looking good. But, for example, would it be well worth getting another +weapon elemental damage ring?

Thanks

I just did a respec into this build and am totally confused about my DPS. It's less than 2,000!

Below are my skill tree and items. No idea why my damage is so freaking low. Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

@Dongaldo

I asked a similar question above, didn't get any response, but asked around and this is what I have now (damage related only).



Are you using auras? With these, and wrath+anger I am getting 12k with dual strike and 9k with cleave. Try get flat elem dmg affixes in rings and ammy, and good fast tri-elem dmg rares will always be better than those uniques.

Hope this helps!

Aha! Thank you. I respec'd into this just because I got those two uniques. Dammit. I think I am going to spec out of this and burn the last of my regrets.

Thanks again.

Current Gear

Ele cleave is just a shell of its former self. sadly, your gear is "almost" as good as it gets for this build damage wise. it's just cleave isn't as good as it used to be. I have a 78 templar who used to have 16k cleave with mediocre weaps but the damage got drastically decreased after the changes to cleave. What I did in order to still make use of the char is that I got a tri ele bow and just converted from cleave to split arrow/lightning arrow. it is the way to save your char in my opinion. you have very good rings and belt damage wise, all you really need to do TONS of damage is a tri ele bow. and the passive tree is very similar to the cleave tree.

What links and stuff do you use with LA/SA?

Care to show us your bow-build, please?

Can you give me any tips on how to proceed?

I am running Rain of Arrows.

I'm doing about 6.3k DPS. I'd do a lot more if I get a 6l and add faster attacks. Here is my equipment.
