My Cleave/bow [Polyvalent build][HC viable]

Hello,
First, there are already some builds on cleave mechanic, but i just want propose some variance of my build.
This build can be use with a cleave dual wielding or with a Bow. So range or melee gameplay.
For the both you need elemental damage and speed attack. For bow you can use split arrow or rain of arrow.

And sorry please for my bad english.



First we need a strong start :

The templar is very strong at start



HP, HP regen, node elem rez/damage, and catalyse (strong 30% ele damage with weapon)

You can play in dual at start, i use alteration orb in order to have 2 one hand weapon with some elemental damage.

use cleave with "Weapon Elemental Damage" (http://en.pathofexilewiki.com/wiki/Weapon_Elemental_Damage)

Use 2 auras "Wrath" and "Anger" no need quality, try to buy wrath first, you will have anger act1 as a reward.

Don't level the cleave gem after level 5. it's a elemental build and leveled cleave increase the physical damage and the mana cost!

At this moment you have some decent HP, damage, it's easy to have 2L for Cleave and elemental damage.

For protection i Use Molten shield, Decoy totem to cleave them all!! :)

Then we need a solution for the mana :

There is some solutions for the mana like "mana leech" BUT mana leech need level 31 and at this moment (you are around level 25)

For my 1st 3L (at lvl 31), i prefere (cleave + Weapon ele dmg + Life leech)

I play with Soul Siphon:



At this moment i use determination or purity (depending the situation) Wrath + Anger.
So Inner Force keystone up your dps, Soul siphon grant you 25 mana for a cleave cost around 10 mana.
Resolute technique for not missing.
At this moment you will see the effect of the strong start of the templar deacrease.

Go for more resist/HP:


you have more hp, in cruel i had 81% all resist if i use purity.

At this moment your stat are here:


My first 4L is (cleave + Weapon ele dmg + life leech + fast attack)
with a 5L you can use mana leech instead of soul siphon or Concentred effect

Now you need to renforce your survivability :



Lot of Hp (life leech more efficient since leech cap is 20% life max), +18% all resist and again 3x10% damage on weapon.

You have here the core build, try to have some attack speed on gear and add elemental dmg.

your stat here :


you can choose different things now:

1) Play the keystones reduced Mana for more aura.
2) going to the dex tree to have attack speed (you are strong and resist) you need the last stat, the attack speed



i like this way, because dex grant you more weapons like hight req dex sword. your dex gems will be more leveled.
You can use the aura Haste too.

3) You can be more tanky with "Steel skin" or sme increase armor node.

At this moment you can respect the diamond skin if you are cap or spend more point in marauder tree (+15% where you need)



Bandit reward are HP, Attack speed, Skill point

The curses use are Elemental weakness for damage or enfeeble for defensive.
You can use unique which grant you an additional curse in order to use conductivity + Elem Weekness or mix defensive and offensive, as you which.


Thanks for reading, i am ready to receive your criticals strikes :)
