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

Could you explain the reasoning behind keeping cleave at lvl 1? Surely leveling it up will just increase your DPS with the spell? Do the mana costs become to high?

yes, after level 5 the mana cost increase while the dps stays almost the same, i dont level it past 1 because im not using hatred yet so im not using physical damage for anything at all, very minimal increase since i am using elemental damage.

Hey,

i play HC and i always wanted to have a char that uses 1Hand + Shield. Do you think it is possible to play this build with only one 1Hand-weapon or is the damage just too low?

Am I right in thinking all the elemental damage you do comes from the +elemental damage on your weapons? As cleave just does all physical as far as I can see.

Also how does the build fare end game, doing high level maps ? I am a bit worried about having to get in quite close quarters with everything, or are you tanky enough that this is fine?

Good to see you are still actively watching the thread, all your post are very informative <3

yup, just be sure to pick up shield block passives like bulwark.

yes, the skill cleave doesnt provide any elemental damage, all of the elemental damage comes from gear the skills that support cleave, auras and passives.

just be sure to use enduring cry and look closelt at what map you are going to do and get the skill setup you feel like using in it, you can use every skill in the game with this build so its quite flexible.

usually if i go in a very dangerous map and i dont feel like risking death i use LS so i can stay at a distance and conversion trap for rares so they help me out.

Hows lightning strike instead of cleave with this build?
Compared to Cleave.

Quite less dps because LS alternates hands where as cleave hits with both at the same time.

Nope, i didnt bother doing PvP with it, but i think it should do pretty good, just max out your chaos resistance before you go in pvp.

I am asking because its important for me, also i have already fked up my 2ng private build and now i want to try something that already exists, and i dont want to get disappointed
