Are you guys NOT leveling up certain gems to reduce the mana cost? or do you just lvl up everything.

A lot of the DPS from spells come from leveling them up. Unless the mana cost starts to become ridiculous, it's best to level it. It's a matter of what to sacrifice. Do you sacrifice DPS by not leveling it? Run less auras to have a larger mana pool available? Sacrifice DPS or survivability by taking more mana massives or Eldritch Battery? If you want your skills to be spammable something has to give.

Also I've seen a discussion about Inner Focus in this thread but it kinda just stopped without a final conclusion. I believe its pretty usefull for clarity and discipline. Or am I wrong?

Inner Force is very OP. Get it if you can. It also effects your flasks like quicksilver and granites.

And another thing I've been thinking about is just stacking HP and energy shield gear wise and passive nodes wise, And ofcourse drop CI and the blood rage idea from this build.

Take a look at the "Life non-EB" build I posted above. It does not take CI or EB relying instead on mana regen passives and Clarity. You won't be able to run many auras, but you'll have both life and ES. I haven't tested it so not sure if the mana regen will be high enough to get away with no mana flasks or not at high level.

Here you go, that is the build i made adding that shock thing in the purpose of stacking stuns:

Comment it and/or modify please. Question from me: What auras would be the best choice for it? Aside clarity obviously.

Hey thanks for the reply. I looked at your hp+es build and it looks solid. But then ofcourse I started thinking again :p , what if you picked up EB en run more auras. Was thinking on a build like this. Would it be viable? cheers



Oh yeah, and what about Ghost Reaver with CI ?

My first plan was to get EB but i was told it is not a good idea for HC. So i transformed it into more deffensive build.

What i think of the build you made:

Question: Does elemental dmg with weapons apply to spells? I dont think so. 3 pointsat the beggining.
I dont think 10%cast speed is worth 3 ponts, its just 3,3cast/point. another 3 points.

If not that everything is fine.
About CI, check out all the builds we posted from the beginning, there have been quite a few CI based. Again, i was told it is not viable for HC if you dont have some riddiculus amounts of currency.

Wops my bad, you are right, just think those 3 weapon elemental dmg nodes away :) ..

Maybe life on hit linked to freeze pulse is a good survivability upgrade. (if you go for EB)

Hello Vinzorama and thank you for inspiring me on a new build to use , after ruined the one on my previous characted ( lvl70 ranger ).

So few days ago I started ice cold templar ......this build on my opinion needs another name : iceT :D .....anyway , have few question about it.

At the moment im just lvl35 and doing quite well , pusle as main skill and use ice spear totem for long range and tank a bit , see below actual status of the build ( the HP nodes will be removed lately ....I just used at the start to stay more alive)

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUABVsQaRRNGmwfAjCXNsU5ikbXXcZmT31TgUmCm4M4i4yOZI9GnYCdrp6hogCnCK-bsji1BLaGtvrYJN0F3fPhc-Qi7SD3pg==

now questions :

I see on your final build that you wont have much mana pool and also the mana reg isn't bit low ? would be able to manage it ?

I'm planning now to grab some more nodes for more spell dmg and after start to get all the energy shield nodes before go CI.....what would you advice ?

I really would like to know at what lvl are you now and actual passive tree and maybe gear ....can you please post it ?

Thanks

You'd need Life Leech instead as Life on Hit doesn't work with spells:

"...hit by your ATTACKS" (spells are not attacks)
"% of damage" (works with everything)

I'm strongly considering adding Life Leech as my 5th support when I finally get a 5-link. As I'm using hybrid armour/ES gear so his armour isn't very high and he has no ES with EB, so some leech would make up for the survivability loss.

For auras I'm currently running: Discipline, Determination, Purity, and Tempest Shield (not an aura but it reserves mana). I'd like to add Grace but don't have a spare one atm and prolly need a bit more mana anyway.

As for the CI build, Ghost Reaver (GR) with the Life Leech Gem is an option with a crit build as you're going to the shadow area anyway. Its pretty close to the 2nd Nullification cluster too. GR pretty much makes a 5L chest mandatory though. I'd consider it an option for end game.



EDIT: changed the title of the "show" box
