THE MENSTRUATOR (puncture templar)
|
Hi, this is the Puncture Templar I ran in the two week charity race. I hadn't much time those days unfortunately, and a mix of things led to a careless death at the premature age of 68.
Build is fun, good for solo, but damage is a little lackluster in groups (particularly because you need mobs to chase you, and you can't hit and run when party members facetank) Achieved Mediocre gear. Could probably push to be a lot better. Had I gone further with the build (fixing my resists) I'd save up for a carcass jack. Passive Tree aim for level 83: Gem Setup

Puncture - Melee Splash - Inc. Melee phys - Increased AOE - Conce. Effect
Viper Strikes - Added Chaos - Faster Attacks - Added Chaos - Ignite Chance - Inc. Burn Vulnerability - Blood Magic - Faster Casting - Empower/Aoe/Duration Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Blood Magic - Life Gain on Hit Reduced Mana - Grace - Determination in order of preference REEEP Gear: Video Footage!

I had 4k life and over 50% physical mitigation (pre-granite) at the time of death, but swapped stuff around my gear in softcore so I could wear carcass jack during the video, which explains the lousy 3.3k life. Most of the gear remains the same, and the damage output seen is product of a 4-link (cute)

I'm thinking of doing a puncture build, except with stacking lots of crit and phys dmg.

" Here's Kikoyou's Run Baby, Run thread for reference about crit puncture with daggers. I respecced a char I had floating in standard to a similar build to muck around with. I took EB and MoM with grace (and was hoping on determination in a future) but was not very happy with it. All the accuracy/crit checks were annoying. If it crit, the degen was amazing on bosses, but as far as pack clearing goes, the degen might as well not even be there. Crits hit for so much that it seems wiser to stack up on fast attacks to get the most out of the irregularities on RNG rolls. It felt as though I had to swing way too many times (for my likes) and the crits would just kill the mobs immediately, rendering the degeneration/bleed aspect of the build useless. That's the only reason I decided to go 2H, it made the combat feel more fluid: curse, swing, leap. Repeat. Whirling blades is fun though. That's my 2 cents on that topic. Best of luck!~ |
