Help / Flame totem build

Hi

Im currently a lvl 83 Templar and need some advice on my build.

Im running this passive tree right now and have 2 unspent points, think they will go towards dex so i can max out projectile speed.

Now my question is the following, Im running herald of thunder currently for a little added spell damage but it seems so minimal.

Would i be better of dropping herald of thunder all together and taking more spell nodes from the passive tree, or jewel slots?

And my 2nd question is, if i do drop herald of thunder, i would be sitting at around 5111 life, (instead of 4190 that i have right now. If i do that and i can replace my helm with three dragons, would the ignite chance of my fire spells act as shock chance? Would three dragons be viable DPS increase? This would free up further passives that i currently have for resistances since three dragons helm add +all resist.

Maybe somehting like this then?

In the jewels slots i then run 2x jewles for
+totemlife
fire damage
projecile speed

and +1 to curses so i can do flammability + ele weakness
Hi

You can look at my guide for comparison. It's a witch character but most of whats there can be applied to Templar.

The main issue I see is the use of BM node.

It's ok if you plan to stay in lvl 75ish maps, but if you want to do endgame and Atziri, you need to stack crits.
