Templar - [1.0.5] Lightning Strike Staff Crit Templar Build - 17k+ DPS - Dual Curse - Forum

" AlmightyPatman wrote: Pretty good guide I'd say and gives a good rundown for aspiring LS templars. After playing LS since day one of OB it took me until now to think about proj weakness as a curse - gonna try that one out today! But what's your main point of going 2h? I can see a massive benefit if you'd be wearing kaoms but right now all you're really gaining is a few extra gem slots for backup curses. Also being a crit based LS templar myself I have yet to find a situation where added fire dmg beats increased critical dmg as the last support - especially a quality one. If you havent run the numbers or tried it out yet you really should. I plan to get a Kaom's as soon as I can. Also a 2H lets me get the 2H crit nodes by Templar as well as the Staff crit nodes on the top of the tree. Increased crit dmg is a good idea, I'll check it out, thanks! EDIT: I forgot that I need to use Added Fire because it is a red gem. On half regen maps I replace it with Reduced Mana, and on no regen maps I replace it with Blood Magic.

Heavy Strike (for ele reflect mobs)	Posted by agitosic676 on May 21, 2013, 6:08:10 PM Quote this Post

I just take small breaks in striking every now and then so that the regent can catch up.

Not really - you will be overlvl'ing pretty much any area you play eventually and therefore have a much higher chance to hit than the tooltip will indicate. You probably want a bit of accuracy on some of your jewelry and your helm. I have about 800 or so added accuracy which I think give me a 76% chance to hit - but that's a lvl 82 mob and when I play I never ever think that "damn I missed that hit".

Yeah, I agree this lightning strike build seems more interesting than some others out there, mainly cuz its a crit build. But how do you sustain mana? (is clarity enough?) And also, are we only limited to a ES/Armor chest cuz of eldritch battery?

The only reason for EB is to get your mana up high enough to run all of those auras. I can run all of the auras right now without an ES/armor chest.

Naa - I have 1.9k mana and my only ES piece is my helm so I can pretty much almost sustain using regent - but have management leech on amu as well (picked up the management leech node before).

Would "% physical damage leeched back as mana" work with this build? Mephixara // Lvl 91 Phys Tornado Ranger Tynux // Lvl 86 DW Ground Slam Marauder Ripheuxa // Lvl 90 KB Wander	Posted by jtrand on May 26, 2013, 6:03:17 PM Quote this Post
" jtrand wrote: Would "% physical damage leeched back as mana" work with this build? Yes it does but you need quite good management regent aswell to go with it - this is the way I'm able to sustain...
