I am trying to min max this build.

I think that innerforce and Shaper would be a much better investment than getting the Template 40% regen and few elemental damage nodes right at the base of the tree?

Also looking at removing the Flask nodes (alchamist) and nimbelness (cast speed) to reach the Sovereignty nodes which would mean greater buffs (clarity, dicipline and purity of Ice) BUT more importantly, it could lead to another Aura being run due to decreased mana reserves.

Auras X (Aura buff + Self Buff) - meaning all those aura and self buff nodes would stack much more when added.

I dont see the flask nodes being that important, your aim it to crit and freeze along with MOM + AA your defence would be good enough and you can kite for days.

let me know what you think about these changes.

-Thanks

IMO the reduced reservation are not the "thing" in the current meta. If you don't get ALL of them from the upper part of the tree(54% aura effects and 34% reduced reservation) it's not worth bothering.

Sovereignty is like 14% mana reservation and 10% aura effects - not much in IMO. So instead of trying to buff purity of Ice, you could get Flask effects' nodes and buff resistance flasks. For 3 passive points you get an easy 3% max res.

Also getting Inner force cluster(21% buff effects) with drastically increase the mana drain of AA. So unless you have about 300+ mana regen, I would skip them.

On the other side if you DO manage to get that much regen, it could be good because if you use Herald of Ice it will buff it noticeably thus increasing the base cold damage - which is very powerful.

@SlightRedeye - How does Pyre help with reflect? It only converts cold to fire. I also never had problems with reflect. Consider that FP best scales with cast speed, not damage.

Started to test freezing pulse after patch.

Using clarity, discpline and herald of ice in alpha's howl. I was using haste instead of herald but even my herald is low level, its superior to haste.

I ended up with around 3.6k hp, 6.1k unreserved mana with discpline and 980~ after reserves.
Have around 450~ mana per second.

Dps is good enough even i am 87 level. Only the issue is i am missing IR. I have no armour at all and sometimes cwd immortall call doesnt enough for leap slammers.

About the build, i ve tested similar build for my templar aswell. I think templar area is a bit messy. +1 powercharge is awesome ofcourse but maybe i will turn left after i get some level. Somehow having less crit chance on my build. Maybe would better to switch a crit chance wand instead of spell damage boost. I will tweak it a bit more and i ll give some exact numbers when i get to home.


Edit: I have left so much mana unreserved right now, i am not using MoM yet and its overkill with even high lvl AA and auras. Maybe can aciheve to get another aura with reserved mana nodes and have haste or purity.

Also the other hard thing is the dex. You need a lot dex stats on gear.

great point about AA scaling. I actually missed that one as I didnt factor it in. Also if cast speeed > damage nodes... Do you think its really wise to go so deep into the Templar tree? I mean surely removing those ele damage nodes in favour of say nimbleness and some other cast speed and projectiles toward shadow side is better?

Could you post your variation of this freeze pulse build. I would love to see what you are doing.

-Thanks
