TEMPLAR TANK/MAGE HELP?!

Hey I made this Templar build using the planner and I was going for a Templar that is a Tank/Mage. I was wandering if a couple of you could have a look and maybe improve it slightly? I have started playing it, got to level 18 so far and it seems fairly ok but you can't really tell at this level. (Using a wand.) I'm also going for things like crit strike/chance, elemental resist/damage, and then a bit into life/Armour/energy shield.

Good point, but it's a bit of a long link. I'll change it anyways.

Ok thanks :)

Not sure what I'm going to be using yet, probably Lightening Strike, Freeze Pulse primarily. Supporting them with things like crit multiplier and greater projectiles on Freeze Pulse. Not sure about any others, I would like to go with some Auras too.

going for crit chance with nodes may not be as efficient as just getting damage nodes. you need a good number of crit nodes to make it worthwhile and hit often enough, though with the same amount of nodes you can gain increased damage consistently every time.

getting lots of ES may not be as worth if you're going for a tanky upfront build but without the ES cooldown passives, since you'll get hit a lot if you dont have meatshields like minions or totems to absorb hits, so its much easier to just get HP increases.

here is a rough build for a lightning tanky templar with wand attacks



he'd be using power siphon as a main attack on the wand, and tempest shield since he'll have a high block rate. he'll also be using enduring cry to gain up to 6 endurance charges that'll give 30% ele resist on top of the 55% ele resist for all and an additional 15% resist for lightning. he can even use discharge since he can have up to 6 endurance charges and 5 power charges. all his spell skill gems would also be connected to the iron will support gem since he has high strength. he would also be casting totems that use either arc or spark.


here is another variant of the above build, only focusing on magic casting and not wand attacks.
