[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
" I would not count on molten shell for damage. It's really just an armour boost on the trigger gem. You won't even be getting the trigger gem until late merciless unless you trade for it. You would be getting catalyse for your glacial hammer. | |
" Glad you are having fun. 1) You want enduring cry to cast before immortal call so that immortal call has endurance charges to use. By using two trigger gems, you can ensure immortal call is cast later, and pack more on your first trigger gem. I'm enjoying having cry + enfeeble + molten on mine, don't know that I'd want to give any of those up. 2) Use what you like, but enfeeble is the best curse vs. end game bosses, by far. If you are using the right low-mana-cost skill and have enough physical damage, and around 60 mana left after the two auras, you will leech enough to chain the skill. If you are having trouble with melee splash, you may need a single target skill without the splash as it uses a lot of mana if you are only hitting one mob. 3) Neat idea. I knew there would be a lot of variations possible with the new trigger gems. :) Last edited by Sovyn on Nov 6, 2013, 1:32:17 PM

" Use more than one skill on the Lazy Pally!? I was under the impression that cast on damage taken skills cast in the order they are socketed. Left to right; top to bottom. So for immortal call to cast after endurance charge you just need it socketed in a later socket. Also another reason why I'm finding Warlord's Mark useful at the moment is the highest Phys Dps weapon I've found so far is a dagger (playing mostly self-found at the moment - purchased some of the gems I needed though). Since Leap Slam requires an axe, mace, or sword that means I can't use it for mobility so I have to rely on flasks and Warlord's Mark fills them up faster. |

" Aha! I understand Sovyn wel but I like my armour build But I use my 5l and gain 9.4k DPS with heavystrike in town and 12k single target and 8.8k splash which for me isnt efficient anymore as I use a howl and as it costs 46 mana, because I run determination and hatred I dont get enough regen to use splash but single target still works and is probably how some Lazy Pallys play? Anyway here is a imgur link to 4 picks I have shown about my build just while standing in town. I reach 16k Armour with auras up aswell. And obviously the 4% All resist and Dmg reduction from the charges ( I know it wont go more then 75% resist but im just saying :D LINK : http://imgur.com/NVBeXrj&ny1DOm9&AlP22VC&UTB1r9h#0 Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to slide through the 4 images (To anyone who want to see the stats and never used Imgur before! Also there are buttons at the top left ;) ) Last edited by siontheman on Nov 6, 2013, 4:28:38 PM

The guide build has a little more max mana as well, which is helpful. Yours has a little more flat life bonus but only 238% life, whereas the guide build has far superior 284%. No comparison there. Yours has 12% more resists, but that is easily made up on gear. Yours has 20% more increased Defences from equipped Shield, which is never a bad thing. The guide build also has +8% to Chaos Resistance, not that it matters. Overall, the guide build is superior as stated previously. | |
" Hi Gabba. :) Looks good for your level. I'd try to get block to 75% soon, and max out your elemental resists. Double strike is nice if you don't like the knockback on heavy strike. Infernal Blow can have a better AOE but harder to manage the mana draw. | |
" For your first cast on damage taken, you want to leave it at level 1 so it will go off a lot. Don't put Immortal Call on it, although you can level that up separately. Enduring cry and molten shell and perhaps enfeeble are my choices for the level 1 cast on damage taken. | |
" A trade thread would be taken advantage of. It might be better for now to just periodically offer items (if so inclined) to regulars in this thread if they are clearly not scamming. Grats on the BoR! That's a good question as both of those shields would work well with BoR. I'd say it would depend if you are over, say, 40% physical mitigation or chance to avoid (with auras), or not. Go with whatever is lower -- also, don't forget that molten shell on your trigger gem will buff you to 65% physical mitigation quite often, even with only 40%. | |
" Use shield charge! :) It seems to be true that cast on damage taken will activate skills in order. However, I view Immortal Call is a safety net, in the rare case where I would take enough damage to trigger the higher level cast on damage taken. And, by then, the first cast on damage taken may have gone off a couple of times, ensuring there is more than one endurance charge for Immortal Call to use. Just a thought. Also, I would not want to remove any of the three things I have on my level 1 cast on damage taken to replace it with Immortal Call anyway. For those reasons, I think a second cast on damage taken, at a higher level (to be determined by the individual player) is the ideal choice. What are we going to use our 4-link items for anyway, now that auras are so limited. :) | |
" OK my friend, but there is no way I would trade my 42% physical damage reduction and 40% chance to evade and 80% chance to evade projectiles for a bit more armour. I know a lot of users of the build have a lot more armour than I do and still maintain their evade too. Besides, even I reach 65%+ damage reduction a lot of the time in areas where there is any risk (molten shell on level one trigger gem). Also, 59% block and 7% spell block at level 81? I'm sorry to say it, but you are gimping yourself there. :) Even if you disregard the armour vs. evade argument, you need to fix the blocking IMHO. |
