Searching for ideas - Scorching ray Templar 3.0

Hi everyone,

I started Poe a few weeks ago and love it so far. I only played HC (personnal choice) and recently died 71 with an earthquake juggernaut. So i'm searching for a new build to start again !

Watching videos about builds, searching for a nice build that could be budget, not necessary in the top 5 beta but viable and fun to play, i saw Mathil's scorching ray - firestorm build (with marauder) and kinda liked it a lot (in theory). I'm now trying to figure how it could work the best, and wonder how it could work with templar.

So i'm trying to figure out :

- A scorching ray build for templar, with cast while channeling firestorm if possible
- That could be budget friendly (at least without mandatory items or cheap ones)
- That could be viable in HC mode (means a bit tanky, and not rely only on life leech :D)
- That would not rely on Righteous Fire

I found some builds but they all kinda involve Righteous Fire, that i hesitate to use. It doesnt seem HC nor noob friendly, and as far as i understand the % spell damage won't affect the ignite or the burn damage from Scorching ray with 3.0.

I could figure out something, mixing common marauder scorching builds, templar scorching or RF builds, other classes scorching or other fire builds, but so far i'm not satisfied with my ideas.

If anyone plan on doing something similar or close, or if anyone have great ideas or a build that seem consistant, i'll be glad to hear it and discuss about it !

Sorry for the long post, and for the bad english (not my native language)

Yellost

Ok, here is my try on the passive tree :

That would be to maximise ignite, burn and fire damage (for scorching ray and firestorm). Trying to grab the max life possible to survive HC.

Suggestion anyone?

I would strongly advise against using cast when channeling with SR in 3.0 as you got pretty good new supports for scorching ray and your damage without cast while channeling should be equal or even greater than otherwise.

This skill tree is for a MoM Inqui with plenty of life and mana regen. Enough for probably the whole content of the game. Does not need any uniques (can be done with scepter/shield) but a Searing Touch would increase your dps by a lot. It should not be expensive to get one though, and a 5-Link Searing Touch should be enough to get you to T16. Other than that Cloak of difiance should help any mom build in 3.0 but it will be expensive as hell.

Links would be
Main Dmg -- SR - Ele Focus - Controlled Dest - Burning Damage - Efficiacy - Rapid Decay
Support 1 -- Orb of Storms - Curse on Hit - Flammability - Elemental Weakness
Support 2 -- Decoy Totem - Summon Stone golem
Movement either shield charge or leap slam (with Searing Touch)

If you use Path of building (which i would advise) you can use this link to import the build and look at the detailed DPS and EHP
