Bow Templar Build Route discussion

Hello,

I want to start a bow templar but I have problems deciding which way to go, namely:
There are two popular routes:

Blood Magic route


Eldritch Battery route


Which one would be better?

Go Blood Magic route and at a later level (eg 80 or so) unspec BM and use the mana for reserve auras and go LA+Blood Magic gem?

Go EB - no IR and no US as such lower armor. But have tons of support through auras(also Determination) and Inner Force.

Note: both builds have huge life >200% and good Elemental passives(Catalyse).

bump for opinions.

I am currently lv 53 doing the EB route and its going well. I started off using a staff until around 40 but the transition to bow has made farming much easier. I use blood magic with my lightning arrow and mana for my elemental hit.

What about the 2 builds I posted?

Your EB build is alright, idk about going for the attack speed seems like 5 wasted points, the shock bonus is good. The main problem that I am having on my character is keeping up with the cost of dex for bows and dex skills. Sitting on 74 dex is going to be very hard to make up with equipment. My quiver alone give me around 55 and other i have to make up the rest through other pieces of gear.

you can finetune it how you like it.
like extra AoE in the senter, gaining some usefull int
like extra ias in the sentre, gaining usefull dex
like 60%increased burn damage, if you like to ignite things.!

goodluck!

This's my build, pure element bow with EB, IR , RT
