[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block

I've bought a pure physical mace, 257 dps.


My former sword was higher on dps but had a mix on physical and elemental.


So my dps has been raised from 3391 to 4386.
Heavy Strike + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Multistrike + Melee Splash

Hurray !!!

Btw this vendor still have 3 decent weapons at 3-4 gcp.
If someone wants to bought any of them, he can look for him on my profile.
I'm going to bring back the sword I was using to a friend, I think he will try to sell it at 2-3 gcp.

Sorry for the ads, I'm trying to help. If anyone thinks I shouldn't had talked about vendors, just told me and I will delete this part of the post.

The poster above has good advice, but I'd say I prefer mostly armour gear combined with a high evasion shield and maybe one hybrid armour/evasion piece. This way we get some mitigation and some avoidance. I know most people go for all of one and none of the other, but I think a balance somewhere in between is best for this build.

My chest, boots, head and gloves are mixed armour/evasion.
My shield is pure evasion. I have some armour from belt and one of my actual rings has evasion.

Grats! Over 4k with melee splash is very good. :)

He didn't take that Stamina node, not even in the progression builds, mate or I am progressing in the skill tree way too wrong.

I was pretty sure I saw that node lit up bright, then again this was after a session of playing I might of been a little tired so no worries. :p

Anyways I was going to post some of my gear to show you how my character is coming along Sovyn.



He's currently level 38 and my damage is starting to lack a little bit. I find myself taking on way too many mobs because the tankyness goes to my head too much and I get myself into a big pickle. The other night in cruel, heading to Merveil, I encounterd Ian Darkshroud grouped aroind a pair of gold mobs. Let's say that was a couple deaths.

Thanks for the progress update. :)

When you are level 46 or so you can pick up a corrugated buckler that will give you a nice boost in blocking if you craft or buy one with a good block mod on it (should be at least 35% block, which is nice for quite a while).

As far as damage we are very weapon dependent so we have to upgrade often as we level up I'd be looking to get a good Tomahawk next level.

So, managed to desync hard (and die) with my HC EleCleave Templar yesterday.
Well... good chance to start a Lazy Pally in Hardcore :)
Already bought a
and ready to go...
I did play a Lazy Pally in Anarchy League until Level 40ish and had a lot of fun with it. Suits my (lazy, slow and sometimes very noobish) playstyle, so I'll give it a try in HC now.

I actually know someone that made it to level 67 on the ledge. It was painfully slow toward the end (about 2-3% experience per run).

Definitely right. After turning 59, it started to get slow, so I continued on through Act 1. Neither Brutus nor Merveil gave me much trouble. I also changed some of the MF gear to more adequate one. Doing 1800 DPS with Infernal Blow + Melee Splash now, HP are around 1900.

Let us know how you get on! Be sure to not get overconfident. :) That's got to be the biggest killer.

Update: Hit 72 today and found a 5 socket Astral Plate and decided to alch it, this came out:



I am trying to at least 4 link it -it was 3 linked when I found it- but after 10 fusings the result is dissapointing. Nonetheless I will 4 link it!

I have thought about alching every Siege Axe I find but instead of blowing loads of alch on that I have decided to search for one in the market.

Questwise; I have unlocked Barracks waypoint and will progress soon to kill Gravicius.

P.S. Pretty much everything is a faceroll except magic Undying Impalers in Marketplace, with their Puncture stacked I just melt, literally melt.

Update #2: 3 fusings and 1 chrom later:

Well done on 4-linking. I rolled a 5 socket on my Astral and 4-linked it. That's the most economical thing we can do within reason. Jeweler's orbs are plentiful from selling all the 6-socket weapons I find and buy from the npc vendors. So getting enough to 5 socket an item is no problem even for the self found like me. :)

The odds of 4-linking seem to be much better on a 5 socket item vs. a 4 socket item.

So as mentioned, 5 socket chest and 4 linking it seems to be the affordable route. :)

PS Enough puncture monsters will kill most any build outright. However, I don't seem to be as vulnerable to them as I used to be, with life leech and if I don't move and keep swinging, I'm fine. Maybe pop one of my instant flasks.
