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

What about Glacial Hammer? Would that work?

Hmm... Suspicion confirmed.

So what do you think -- time to augment the Max Block Templar with poison skills and/or minions in 3.8? :-)

Since the game keeps crashing on PS4 and I want to play Hardcore I made a Baron Maxblock Gladiator with zombies. It still died in white maps lol

I had 60/60 block but no surrender/aegis as these items never appear on market (hc community too small)

Not as well because the AOE is not built in so you lose a support slot. Lower DPS, slower clear time.

There is a unique jewel Winter Burial

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Winter_Burial

(10-15)% increased Cold Damage
With at least 40 Strength in Radius, Glacial Hammer deals
Cold-only Splash Damage to surrounding targets
With at least 40 Strength in Radius, 25% of Glacial
Hammer Physical Damage Converted to Cold Damage

U can equip two of them and then you don't need melee splash.

Reckless Defense jewel seems to have been nerfed. It doesnt apply 20% of attack block to spells like it says in the guide.

You can try that but two jewel sockets are at least 4 skill points, that's not nothing. :)

It's still good enough with 4 spell block. I use two of 'em.

Just wanted to say thank you for making the guide, this was the first build I ever made. 5-6 years ago when I started playing PoE. I've come a long way since then and started making my own guides.
Just again stumbled across this guide again and it brought back memories :D
This was my first character and my first HC character, thank you.

Uber setup updated with foil based sword and associated dex nodes.

you dont use oils?
