ReverendBizzarre: ele cleave templar [6k life, 45k+ dps]
" I got to merci with this sword: on me. Armor and stuff like that, i had a 4link for my cleave on my chest, thats it. The rest was just whatever upgrades i could find that had decent life and resistances. The damage scales very well while dual wielding elemental stuff and using cleave. Pretty sure some people here started new with this build and havent has any gearing complaints yet, because you can just find the stuff you need everywhere, the only specifics you need is all armors except pure ES and swords or axes with ele damage. And Im not saying you will have a breeze through the game with sub par gear, but you can do it.

" Almost every melee build starts to struggle near the middle of Cruel in my experience, some builds tend to struggle more than others. This one has been fairly easy to gear so far, just grabbing a couple of okay weapons gives you all the DPS you need with your passives. Being able to go full defensive jewelry without feeling like youre gimping your DPS helps quite a bit with the survivability. |

Just wanted to update on my progress and thank Victor very much for the build and insight :) The build gave me a great idea how to progress my character, and deciding what to get first etc.
Just killed merv on mercilies without going below 70% HP with 35% cold resistance and like 600 armor. 2k dps on my cleave. Piece of cake! (my gear is crap) So once again thanks Victor, awesome job and REALLY helpful guide! THanks! |

I want to echo the above thoughts. This was my second character but my first was only through act 2 normal so it was essentially starting from scratch gearwise. I started Act 2 cruel last night and haven't had any major problems yet. I do have to be careful around cold elemental damage but that's my own fault for not paying enough attention to resistance on my gear.
I have yet to farm for any gear and the only thing I have crafted is a 4l for cleave, which is really only a 3l since I only have mana leech and elemental weapon damage for it at the moment. I really like the build, I was looking for a dual wield templar when I stumbled across it. My question would be about weapons. Is there a "best" weapon to be looking for? I know elemental damage is good and clearly I want a sword or an axe but is there a more optimal choice between the two? Thanks Victor for a very fun build so far. ign: eksnerdion

" The best possible weapons would be a rapier that had 2.0+ attacks per second and max triple elemental mods. I carve and sell real animal skulls, check out my work here: https://www.instagram.com/victorseiche/

Hey everyone,
I'm glad I found your Build, I was thinking of a "similiar" one where I would use Cleave + Aoe Increase + Ele Dmg but with Critical Strike Chance. I made two builds for Shadow and Templar but I'm not really satisfied with them. Because of the fact that I have too spread pretty far to get decent Crit-chance and Multiplier. Do you think it would be worth going Crit? Also I took 2 Additional Frenzy Charges because I was thinking about running it with Blood rage. Any thoughts on this? But amazing build! Finally something nice for melee that does'nt rely on LS ;) Keep up the good work! |

" Its not really worth the spreading out, its very diffcult to get enough critical strike chance to make a difference, thats why i picked RT, way easier and leaves me a LOT of points to increase my damage/life anyway! You will need a lot of life regen with bloodrage, since this build doesnt benefit from the % physical damage life leech it offers. I wouldn't use bloodrage.

Just wondering, are you still playing this fella or have you moved on to anything else? If yes on the first, how's it going?
