[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
|
So I took your advice to heart and made a new tree. It is extremely similar to your tree, except I start on Ranger and work my way left. Just curious what you might think of it. It's obviously a sword weapon user however (not free like yours is).

" I spied a small mistake in the pathing, here's the same build with one point saved: link And, here is the stats total so you can compare with the Templar build in the OP.

Both should work though. | |

Side note - pretty hard to get the needed colors on a pure evasion chest (RRGGB).
I wanted to change out my current chest.... for this one.... ...but I've used a bunch of stacks of chromatics and no luck yet. I did get three red once and three blue several times, so three off colors is certainly possible. (The first chest was easy, just lucky, evidently.) | |
" Is there a reason why you're going for a pure evasion chest? | |
" Yes there is! I'm self found and it's all I've found. :) I'm compensating by using high armour boots, gloves, helmet. As long as we get some of both from somewhere, all's well. | |

Heya all, managed to snag a few items from the trade market in the past week:
Shield: Weapon: by your calculations Reave was better so that's why I got myself a new sword (and dont ask me how much chromatics it needed to get RBR:/) - a fast hitting motherf*****g sword In general I wanted to ask this - most people claimed that my axe was a bad weapon (not only cause it's an axe and uses cleave) but that is has a low speed - is 1,5 really that bad for speed? | |
" Hi mysantrop. :) The axe is not bad, and 1.5 is adequate. The axe is 248 physical DPS. However, it would have to be better than your sword (257 pDPS) to compensate for the substantial DPS difference between cleave and reave, and it's not. In the guide, I mostly mention cleave just in case someone has *only* a good axe while leveling up. Dispite cleave being a little bit weak currently, it's still better than having to use melee splash with it's associated mana problems or a blood magic support gem which takes away a valuable DPS support, except perhaps on a 6-link as mentioned in the guide. | |

Today I first tried 5-linking this 6 socket Astral:
No luck, waste of materials. Next, I tried crafting a bunch of claws (all 70+ ilevel): Wow, just, wow. Baaaaad. :) A little in the hole for the day in self-found land. :) | |
" First of all: Thanks for this awesome build and all the additional information. Great stuff especially for a n00b like me! ;-) However, I am a bit confused about the level recommendations for Enduring Crry (lvl 5), Molten Shell (lvl 8) an so on. Enduring Cry costs 23 mana at Level 5 and (only) 25 mana at Level 15... I am sure there is an obvious explanation though. Sorry, I haven't really figured out all the different skill gems. Thanks! |

" If you check cast when damage taken you can see that by lvling it you get better dmg effectivness but also the amount of damage needed to be taken increased - by having a low lvl cast when damage taken you ensure that you cast it often. Then if you check cast when damage taken lvl 2 it say maximum level of supported gems is 33. Enduring cry 5 requires lvl 31 and Enduring cry 6 requires lvl 34 - that is why you must have enduring cry 5 if you want to trigger it with cast when damage taken 2. The same explanation is valid for Molten Shell 8 (requires lvl 32). Regarding the mana cost - its low because that's just the game mechanics, game designers knew that most people will leave it low lvl cause of the said combo so that's why they balanced the mana costs. Hope this helps! br, J |
