Thank you. I had most of it except for the Doryani's Catalyst and 6l CoD (had a 5l) when the 2 week ended. After that I saved my currency to be able to buy either a 6l or Doryani's Catalyst, and because I already had 1% Fire Damage Leeched as Life on my amulet I decided to get the 6l.

Now that I've died and recorded some gameplay videos I'll go on and give it all away. I don't yet know how I will handle the giveaway but I'm leaning more towards it being random than expecting people to write essays on why they deserve it the most.

very nice concept for a solo build, in a party the guys with faster projectiles will steal you the show ;)

Changed the character GIF to a much shorter one because some people were experiencing problems loading the page. Replaced the gameplay GIF with a HTML5 Video link instead. I hope that this makes reading the guide a bit easier!

Unfortunately that's true. I did find the build to be weaker the more players you add to the party, especially if you're running with people who have amazing DPS builds. I ran some maps with a friend of mine who reaches 15k+ AOE DPS and I had no problems playing with him.

How does your build do against double reflect and general reflect maps?

I ran a lvl 78 reflect map yesterday and encountered double reflect once, I should have tested a full 10 stack Flameblast on it just to see if I would die but I just did a 5-6 stack instead and took no damage.

I found that even against the biggest packs, a 5-7 stack Flameblast did not get past my defenses, if you manage to roll a crit on a big pack with a 10 stack FB you will definitely take damage from it.

If you wish to be 100% safe you could reroll the colors of your shield (I can't since I corrupted mine) and run Purity of Fire.

Since you don't cast any Flameblasts at the edge of your screen and instead teleport right into the middle packs you shouldn't be surprised when elemental reflect appears and since single reflect isn't much of a problem you should only have to be cautious when doing maps with the reflect mod.

Edit: I looked through the video and found that I did a 8 stack FB on the double reflect spider and his 10~ spider buddies, all cursed but no crit and my life/mana literally did not move. I'll upload a video of it and post it here.

Been wasting chromes for ages now. It's impossible to get BBBRR in a 5l Cloak of Defiance (which are the colors for the links you set).

If it get's 2 Red sockets it has one in the bottom right socket which isn't linked in a 5l.. This sucks :L

Rolling the right colors can be bothersome, I went through quite a lot of Chromatic Orbs to get 3R 2B for my 5l because I thought I would need the Life Leech gem. 2R should be much easier.

If you only have a 5l and it's a 6s I would be happy with any color for the last gem slot that isn't part of the 5l. Green would probably be best because then you'd be able to put your AA there and get the option to move your Tempest Shield to one of the 3l and have a another 4l Cast When Stunned setup.

That is of course if you haven't already got a Doryani's Catalyst in which case Tempest Shield can't be moved there thanks to the mana multiplier on Elemental Proliferation.

Here's an example of double reflect at 8 stacks:

How optimal would this build be as a templar? can you post a tree for me?
