[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
" It's been tried but not a standout as the recommended skills will clear an area much faster and with all of our defenses we don't really need freeze. I suppose you could add a freeze mine or cold snap/trap/proliferate 3-link to your setup if freezing trash mobs is really your bag. :D Me, I just like to mow them down quicker since white/blue/yellow* mobs are no threat. (In case you were not aware, there is no practical way to freeze unique bosses.) *minus the consideration for corrupting blood and volatile nemesis mods | |

What's the reason for all the crit and accuracy nodes while also having Resolute Technique?
| |
" They would be for the % to damage and attack speed | |
" As above. These were the most efficient damage nodes available. The math was done. Not sure why folks keep getting hung up on this. | |
" The reason is quite simple. There are some better and pure attack + damage nodes around, but what Sovyn has done in his suggested tree, is focusing on one handed dps+attack without being restricted to any specific weapon. His tree is flexible whether u choose sword, dagger, claw, axe etc. But if anyone wants to emphasize on any particular weapon he can take better nodes as alternative. For example, if u are focusing on sword only, there are some juicy nodes near Resolute Technique that provides dps+ 12% life + Strength :D It's all up to u really. Sovyn just laid out a neat template for everyone to build on. Cheers all. Last edited by archzin on Aug 25, 2014, 11:49:25 PM

Thank you for elaborating, archzin. :)

" I can't speak for others, but I'm just trying to learn the game. Was trying to understand. Thought maybe I understood Resolute Technique incorrectly. " Good explanation. Thanks. Last edited by Lenox2288 on Aug 26, 2014, 9:34:44 AM

" Great! Welcome to PoE. :) If you have any further questions, just let us know. | |

wow, thanks for this amazing build and your feedback to all those question. This is outstanding!
I used to play this guide 1 year ago. I haven't played in a while but I guess I will give it another try. I was looking for suitable Items and I'm still unsure which shield to use. found a Saffell's Frame in my stash with 107% block chance to spells. So there would be no need for rathpith, stone of lazwar, rainbowstride since they dont give other usefull nodes. Is it worth taking it? I would lose the ability to block attacks. Therefore I am concerned that my HP-bar will be too small, saffells doesn't have life nodes. Lioneyes Remorse or a high evasioin shield could maybe be better. Yes, no? Have you already tried Atziri with this build? | |
" Hi Dooobs! Welcome back! The build is better than ever! Saffell's can't be used full-time, you have to use the weapon switch and have two decent weapons of the same type. X key to switch when you see a strong pure spellcaster boss or rogue. I don't think this approach is as good as the one I have chosen, that is, capping block at 78% and spell block at 76% full time. This way I'm able to do mixed content with ease. It's not that expensive either. See my current gear section. I spent less than 5 ex total now at a time when most people spend that or (much) more on one item for their high level character. I have not had time to try Atziri. Sitting down for a couple hours straight to make a serious first attempt is not in the cards atm. The build is very strong though and should have as good a chance as any melee build out there. |
