Dual Totem EE Templar - Need Feedback

Hello everybody,

today i want to show you an interesting Build that i come with. Since i dont have any proper experience with Templar, i want to ask you how viable this build is.

Passive Skill Tree

Basically i will use 2 Totems (Chest & Bow) with LA and IS. With EE every hit will deal 25% more Damage. To archive that goal, i can only wear Armour with no Elemental Damage, only physical (i will use Ar/Es or full Ar Armour). To increase the Damage output i will run the Anger Aura which will add fire damage to all of the Arrows, that will decrease the resistance to the next following elemental attack to -50%. As a gem setup, i will use this:

LA/IC + Range Attack Totem + LMP/GMP + Weapon Elemental Damage + Chain/Fork + Cold/Lightning Penetration or Faster Attack

in this order of importance.

For single attacks i use Elemental Hit.

EH + Range Attack Totem + Weapon Elemental Damage + Faster Attack

without the Anger Aura. Possible combinations of Fire/Ice/Lightning shows us that 2/3 of attacks will always with diffrent elements (-25%) and 1/3 of them with similar elements (+25%).

To support all this i choose 2 curses (Conductivity/Frostbite) for AoE and Elemental Weakness for Single Target. With uniques we could increase the number of curses to 3 or 4 (with 4 we can take the Skillpoints from the Curse Branch back). The build has a lot of HP nodes for survivabilty and Zombies with (or without) Minion instability to support me. Can run some defensive Auras.


At last, i want to tell you why i choose Range Attack Totems. First they will alter on a much higher speed so we dont have penaltys from slower human clicking. They will deal 40% less damage and attack 30% slower but since we have 2 of them they will theoretically attack 20% faster and deal 40% more damage. Dont have mana issues, since we need to cast them only once, so we need a higher Manapool but not a high Manaregeneration rate. I have time to curse them while the totems attack.

On paper, this build should deal significantly more damage then the LA Build. I hope for constructive feedbacks.
