Templar - St. ELMO's Fire (Dual Totem, Dual Curse, EE, Fire Trap Templar) NERFED :( RIP build - Forum

Is it possible to skip the fire traps and get something useful instead of them? I've started your build,lv35 atm but i think throwing traps n playing with mobs is just not for my taste. I would rather go 2 totem + curses and somehow afk mode,its possible? :) Sorry for being offtopic hardly Atm this is where i am: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUABLMFWxRNGjIaOB0UNuk62DwFRtdN2E99UWBdxmBtZp58u4BWgziLjI9GkFWYrZ2An9-iAKeEqZXAGsWKz2XQ0N3z42rpc-w473zwH_Nx-tI=	Posted by storm3 on Feb 23, 2013, 3:36:20 PM Quote this Post

I have a pair but with 4L and while I like them I have to say I miss the extra 15% movement speed from the boots I replaced them with. I don't really want to waste your time with "is my gear good" etc but if you have the time to quickly critique it that would be appreciated. Still trying to get a 5 or 6L chest! I have to say this entire thread is amazing. I initially started OB as a marauder and didn't enjoy it at all at higher levels but now I'm having a blast.

maybe im not in the right position to rate your gear setup, but for me it sounds good for end-game content. maybe +life on chest but rest is good (ES,mana,mana regen/int,hp, some res (mostly we run capped 80%all so its not a biggy)are for me main attributes - not in that particular order) -my 5cents	Posted by vladrak84 on Feb 24, 2013, 7:41:25 AM Quote this Post
" Thanks very much for the helpful answers, YeahPete. That makes total sense about the strategy for picking up increase crit chance gear and gems together. I'm planning on doing exactly that as well. The reason I asked about the Lightning and Fire penetration gems is because my understanding was that they DID bring monsters resistances into negative resistances. I thought that would make a lot of sense to stack with EE and elemental weakness. I read it here on the wiki about how the penetration supposedly works (http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Penetration). I could be missing a key element to this, but would you take a look at it for me? I'm just trying to help make your build continue to get better :) Well interesting news... Your right about the Fire Penetration. I am not sure where I got that info from. But I did some research and it appears you are correct in that it brings enemies into negative resists. Still no elemental weakness gem dropped =( Trade for it. It may never drop. Are these boots really good or are you just using them because they're the best you can get?I like them for a few reasons: The mana regen, and item quantity. They really help my lack of mana. I don't really want to waste your time with "is my gear good" etc but if you have the time to quickly critique it that would be appreciated. Still trying to get a 5 or 6L chest! Your gears pretty decent. Really sweet wand. Great thing about this build is you don't need godly gear. I would look for more HP on rings + belt. Your armor is lacking a bit too. Try and find nice armor with alot of hp.

Thanks for looking into that, YeahPete. Adding Lightning pen to Arc and Fire pen to Fire Traps instead of Iron Will will synergize well with EE and Elemental Weakness. These support gems will also help a lot against curse immune mobs. I'm going to run it that way when I get there. You think it's worth adding to you OP? Thanks again!

Added Lightning Penetration and Fire Penetration to skills in OP. Notes: I am still unsure of why I thought it worked differently. Did they ever change the way those gems worked? Maybe I saw it in a dream.. :P this is what I rememeber: Scrolling over lightning penetration gem. It showed as level 1: Penetrates 72% lightning resistance. And under that was a note saying does not go negative resistances.... Very strange I remember it that way, but when I looked at my gems they were different. Really weird.. Dreaming about PoE can be hazardous to your health. Does anyone else remember lightning penetration ever working differently?
