[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
" Thanks for sharing that., Interesting. You might actually gain more evasion from getting the shield defenses on the other side, like this, if you have a high evasion shield:

I guess you must be pretty set for resists on your gear. Lucky! :) |

" I left out that node for now so I can get all the life/evasion nodes sooner. I'll come back to it and then take Aspect of the Panther. Good eyes :) |

" Thanks for the tips, both from Sovyn and kahoraho. Starting to run into mana issues -- I'm running these gloves: They're weak for my level (40), but I really like the double-leech. I also think I might have too many gems linked on my primary attack: I think I may have to play around with the balance between mana cost of the attack and the amount of mana that attack leeches until they level more. And I'll definitely have to see about grabbing Slitherpinch. The extra dex would give me enough so I can finally get a real hammered buckler instead of having to settle for this: Thanks again for a great, fun build.

I like your double leech gloves. They are a basic version of those I suggest you.
Drop this shield and take a Crest of Perandus, you'll block more. Unfortunately it's normal you have mana problems once you start using Melee Physical Damage. :( This build doesn't improve your mana pool, nor mana regeneration, nor a big boost on intelligence... You can't take everything. If you have reached to the duelist area, perhaps you can take Mana Flows, it will help you a bit. I doubt it will solve all your problems anyway... Or you can buy a 2% mana leech ring or amulet, maybe 4% total mana leech will support your mana needs. My way to solve mana problems on end game is having a good physical weapon and leech enough mana. The more physical damage you deal, the more mana you leech. IGN: Pintxo (Harbinger)

" Nice to see you improve with last patch. I'm not a fan of acrobatics on this build. You have a lot of block percentage and a decent evasion. Your armour lost would be better mitigation than the dodge. Those 5 points could be used in more life, another utility, or more dps (I see you like more dps, Aspect of the Panther would be your target). IGN: Pintxo (Harbinger)

Hey guys, I have been using this build for a day now(currently lvl 40 - and loving it) but my question concerns which of the bandits to kill in cruel difficulty or just get the skill point. I plan on getting a weapon with as high phys dmg as possible so the extra phys dmg from oak would be nice, but at the same time I dont know if the attack speed is just as good or maybe even better.
If any of you know what decition is best I would be glad to get a reply :) |

" I could never make mana leech work well with melee splash for some reason. Perhaps if you level it up, things will be different. I would try a different support gem instead of melee splash and see how that goes, mana wise. Keep leveling up melee splash in another socket though. The gloves are fine, we pretty much have to sacrifice a gear slot for mana leech, but the auras are worth it. |
|
" I'm glad you like it. :) I would choose the skill point as I like to be able to re-allocate the point when the skill tree is changed/re-set as in this last patch. The devs did mention that they may create a way to re-do the bandit quest in the future, but who knows when. You never know when you will need just one more point to reach a nice notable on the tree. |

I have four experimental builds for 11.2 - all are fairly close stat wise but with a few compromises.
The main issue is whether I want to drop RT or not. I'm thinking I could reach 90% chance to hit. Of course, base crit chance is a lousy 5%. These are really not ready for public consumption, but here they are - let me know what you think - build one +322 to Strength +204 to Dexterity +102 to Intelligence +487 to maximum Mana +877 to

I've been looking into this build for awhile now, but was previously leveling a Templar with MidnightGem's "How To Dunk Like Jordan" guide. It's a great CI melee guide, but I was finding it didn't fit how I want to play this game in practice. Too busy, and too gear-driven. I also picked up a Tempest Shield gem very early on and refused to part with it in favor of a slower two-handed weapon. I play casually...work, the wife and the kids occupy most of my free time, and rightfully so. So when I DO fire up PoE during the week I want simplicity and survivability. This build fits me to a T, and I started a fresh Templar with it last night.
Thanks for putting so much time and detail into this thread; it pays dividends to guys like me who don't have the time to experiment with the skill tree over and over and risk screwing their build up for end-game viability. I look forward to the updates for 11.2! "Accountability is the perfect counter-weight to ambition." -Dominus, High Templar
