Hello guys, i just love this build, It is one of my favorite.
I would like the opinion of you on my gear and I could change to improve my build. This is the q currently use:

I trade Inc AoE for Conc Effect in boss fights and the Minion Life gem, It is on staff just to lvl up, i dont have sockets to put Ice Golem.

and my passive skill tree:

I caught a char that was already high lvl to make this build enjoying the tree of reset in the update, and how that char is one of the first that I created in the game, at the time got skill points in all quests of the bandits, think it can harm me in some way in the future?

Any sugestions in gear or link gems, please feel free to speak :)

Hi,
Is there a problem playing this build as a Dualist or Templar? If yes, which starting path should I take for Dualist and Templar.

Thank you in advance!

You could do it as Duelist if you rly want to, not as a Templar though.

Just take the phys dmg and life nodes at duelist start and connect to the current version of the tree that way.

You could do the same exact thing with the Templar... your're right next to the Templar starting area.. in fact, Templar has better access to the staff crit nodes at the north end of the tree if you wanted to use the remaining points (since you only use about half the points).. not exactly the same thing but certainly doable. If you want to go that route though, there are Templar staff crit builds under the Templar forum, which may be Serge's point... his build isn't that build.. 8).

You could, but you really shouldn't, is what I'm saying. Also, I think you've been looking at the leveling tree instead of the final tree which is designed for lvl 92 or even higher. Unless you meant something else by "you use only half the points".

Anyway, I'm talking about these nodes:

Whichever of the 5 you take are significantly worse than the starting 5 at marauder or at duelist. That's why going as templar is a bad idea - it's a waste of skill points.
