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

and you used 2H or 2 1H weapons?

Dual Wield Swords. Alced two vendor swords and got a small ele dmg roll which was sufficient to get from the start really nice dps. But I have to say, I used a 10 % cleave which gives 5 % more attack speed, but I don't think that was that big of an advantage.

On another matter. I really love my ele cleave Templar, but what stops me at the moment to really do maps with him is the annoying mechanic how endurance charges are generated. It takes time to get a full stack and often it runs just out when I get to the next mobs and the game starts again. I am a guy you likes to check his loot carefully to not miss anything, but I can't do it because my charges run out. Anyone feel the same?

I really hope they change the mechanic. Maybe after using enduring cry you have a chance per hit to generate more charges or something like that. Or make it like Bloodrage, each mob killed gives a charge and enduring cry just refreshes the timer. In comparison to the other charges, frenzy and power, enduring charges are a real pain.

hi. I'm using this build on my duelist, so i picked Leather and Steel. And now i have 5 skill points less, then Templar. I wonder how much dps will i loose if i'll skip Blast radius and/or Lightning Walker (i mean i could take Lightning walker and skip only Blast radius)? Or maybe i could skip life regen in center and 6 points in Body and soul (i have 2k hp and only 150 ES on 66 lvl, i have very low health gear right now, but the point is that i don't see the reason to increase ES, so maybe i could save 6 points and just take 2x +6 all res and Leather and Steel will compensate armor loss?).
So on your opinion what stats can i sacrifice first in your build?
My spec right now:

Thank you.

Thank you.

Blast Radius is better than lightning walker since it increases all of your Cleave damage instead of just lightning. If you're running low on skill points you don't really need to branch out there at all, since you're using a lot of skill points just to get those 2 damage nodes.

When's the best time to switch from 2H Sweep to dual wielding Elemental Cleave?

Whenever you have enough dexterity to use swords or axes.

What modifications would you recommend for this build on HC?

So I just got into Act 3 @ Lv. 27 and I'm having a blast with this. But I feel like I have no mana to keep up the constant spamming of Cleave. Should I just leave one of Wrath/Anger on and keep the other turned off, or is there another way I can go about this?

Sure, do whatever you can to spam cleave constantly. Whatever works. Mana Leech is available at lvl 31, so it should get easier very soon.

I ran clarity up to level ~40 because of the mana issue, once your mana leech reach 2% and your dps is correct, cleave should be self sufficient. Just keep a mana pot in case you want to use other spells like enduring cry, whirling blades, a curse etc.. especially against bosses.
