Could you add a skill tree for leveling please?

You clear T15 maps with this do you?

Sure I can do that! :)

And yes, I can also clear T15 maps with this :)
Avoid reflect maps tho!

Added leveling progression!

Uploading fully buffed Merciless Izaro video!

Video is up! :)

Hi there

Thanks for this build EQ is so mutch fun with low duration + aspd.

I had a avarage 6L mace so i tell to my self see if it works with mace and it is. Still lower dps than atziri but decent i'll gona save for it =)

Hey thanks and ur welcome! :)

Yeah, I never imagined going for high aps + lower duration would work that well with EQ, my helmed is the charry ontop of the cake tho <3

Ur gear looks solid and since ur playing in Std. getting a Quadboobs Disfavour shouldnt be too hard :P

You too! Cheers!

Hi, I'm trying to respec my shockwave templar into this build and wonder if you can explain more about the skill gems selection and how they work with each other? Do you run CWDT/IC/MS at all? What jewels do you recommend? Would you recommend arctic armour etc?

Also, does the weapon elemental damage support gem work better than other useful gems such as physical to lightning or concentrated effect in terms of DPS?

Many thanks for your time. I'm going to give it a crack.

I'm impressed you were able to keep damage so high using MS and reaching such an attack speed! I've been building around the Marohi and while I do hit harder, you can generate far more APS. I hit about 30% as fast as you. I did pick up Juggernaut over Beserker for the defensive boost (Unstoppable is the most OP facking node in the game right now).

I can crush Atziri easy but not at the speed you can. You also cut through the trio and the pair of vaal pylons like a knife through butter.

I'd give it the Axe being BIS for EQ, as so far from the builds I've seen. It's funny though, I've only seen one other rock the new Physical to Lightning gem, as it adds almost the same DPS as Concentrated Effect without the area radius detriment.

Since you have ludicrous attack speed already, I'd wager dumping MS for PL would put your damage on another level. MS won't trigger an earthquake anyway and adversely plants you for about twice as long. I'd value the mobility boost in and of itself.

Additionally, I think feel you have too much life. Pretty rare something will hit you for that much and since you can regen or pot a flask if you get low, having about 6-6.5k seems optimal (I guess for Standard anyway). You could save 5 nodes if you trimmed back life and put them into more interesting stuff. 3 could go into Indomitable, which will take a lot of the sting off crits and shock damage. Or take Bloodletting for some mayhem. Or take off RT and go head up and take Elemental Overlord. You could probably stack a bit of accuracy and crit chance. I'm running it on my Scion and she crits enough to keep it up with about 17% crit chance, which is dead easy to get. But I don't think the aftershock can miss, just the melee hit.

Anyway, nice build. I may switch up my mace build on Perandus to an axe.

Thoughts on Bloodlust?

Sorry about the question but why not immortal call? i think its bettter to have it than enfeeble :S but if u can explain ^_^

This build as templar mhmmm... screams going Hegemony's Era crit to me, convert alot of your phys.dmg. into elemental and pick Inquisitor. (Just a thought!)

The reason I do not run CWDT - IC - MS simply is I lack gem slots and had to make some decisions and since IS barely has any uptime anymore (unless you really spec for it) its not worth it compared to having enfeeble, its sooo good imo.

About AA, I'm indeed thinking about squeezing it in somehow, maybe even alter the tree a bit cuz it would help negating the 10% more dmg. I take and slower fire dmg. by alot.

I will add my jewels to the gear section so you and others can take a look!

It's not just about my attack speed, if you take a look at my helmed I have 30% reduced Earthquake duration on it which lets me proc the aftershock alot more often! (watch one of the vids again and you will see how often the aftershock procs!)

Tbh, I also was impressed when I used the Axe for the very first time in an Atziri run and never expected it to do as well as it did. Thing baout it is: It hits really, really hard (just as hard as most Erqi's) but its alot faster + bleed is a nice addition to have.
Disfavour being BiS I dont think so but getting an Axe in Perandus that will outclass is very unlikely to happen.

I think the reason most people dont use PtL is it cuts your overall dmg in way too much elemental. The tooltip might jump up a bit but the true dmg output would suffer.
I do see PtL being really good for a Hegemony's crit version tho! (was accually thinking about doing one just to see how much better it would be...)

Too much life? One can NEVER have too much Life% imo!
I also do have a very agressive playstyle so a high lifepool really helps but to each his/her own! :P

If going for non crit with Ele.Overload I think the mace "Kongors Undying Rage" would be reeeeally go for this! Might be worth a shot! :)

Also thanks for the detailed question and thoughts!
Really appreciate it! :)

It would NOT work cuz bloodlust would negate Disfavours bleed effect.
I would need a 2nd way to apply bleed and giving up on either my Leap setup, CWDT, End.Cry or even auras isnt worth it.

IC is only really worth it nowadays if you spec for it imo (duration notes and so on) and I also only have very limited gem slots so I had to decide what to pick and what not... and I love my enfeeble. :P

I also love keeping my end.charges up so there's that as well :)
7 charges + enfeeble with a nice life reg. is pretty strong defensive and the really big hits you want to avoid anyways!


Also thx for all the questions and thoughts!
Didn't expect to see that many question when I logged in. :D




Edit: Added my Jewels to the gear section!

Provided you want to lower total cost of build a little bit (down to ~10 ex for example), what would you suggest - 5L Atziri Disfavour / 6L Hezmana / 6L GG Rare / Some other options (Disfavour + 6L chest, etc) ? Will the difference be notable?
