Hi I want to level a discharge templar following this guide but i have a question: If u discharge on ele reflect mobs u die? thanks and sry for my english

Depends on your ES and DPS. I am level 88 and have never died to reflect. Just make sure you don't crit weakness reflect mobs.

this time i have a question by myself because i cant test it

how much dps difference between divi and void ? i know i would lose 20% crit which is ~1% bascrit but would gain 120% spelldmg since you own both its easy for you to tell

Haven't read everything but my dps increased by 26-31% passing from a better-than-divinarius wand to void battery

plz make a youtube gameplay video. twitch used too much bandwith to watch

Do not follow this guide. A lot of bad information.

Prove it. His videoes suggest that he's got the damage thing down. His passive tree looks practically identical to the others I've seen for discharge.


How well will this build/this sort of build work if you're trying to muddle your way through leveling it up and accumulating the gear all at the same time? Is this better as a "get to the top using some other build, then when you can afford it respec into this" or is it a viable thing to work towards start to finish?

If it's viable to start a char and start working towards it, which items should someone buy first, and which are the icing on the cake to be purchased last? What are some viable replacement items to look for (or which mods are best to hang onto) while you try to accumulate the higher end items?

For last two guys inquiring;
Read whole thread, most of questions are answered there already. On page 2 you'll find life tree you should work up to.

You should use other build(ie skills) up to lvl 55 or so, like cleave, I use infernal blow+splash skills. Then, I quote "Merc Fellshrine you can go for CI, Vaal Pact, Ghost Reaver, Unwavering stance."

About gear: you have it all in OP. Just follow advised gearing to the letter.

Anyway I've spoken to few more experienced dischargers and most of them claim that build could be potentially fragile. Medium ES, no armor whatsoever leaves very little room for mistakes (ok, molten shell can probably give you little room for mistake), nobody disputes "offensive" part. On the other hand several ppl testified that they never died using this build, especially not to reflect.

I'm gonna report mine experiences in few days, mine discharger is just leveling, gear is already bought.

In the description there is you cast blood rage and molten shell and proceed to cast ice spear with GMP and Chain and that instantly builds power charges...how? if the ice spear is not in Volls Protector what builds the charges? sry for noob question, I am new to this

Also is it possible level with Kripp endurance discharge build till I get CI and then just transition to this? Cos leveling with FP is just bad for me, I dont have any damage and have no idea about any of those melee splash/infernal blow/facebreaker builds.

thx in advance

Well that's simple, you're using combination of GMP + chain (+lvl1 ice spear, it's not for damage) meaning you'll fire several spears (5) which will split upon impact targeting closest enemies (if they hit 5 enemies they will hit 10 more providing they are in range). Meaning you'll hit multiple enemies with single volley, granting power charge for each critical strike, very fast reloading of power charges.

IDK if kripps endurance build is close /possible transforming to this, because this is what you aim /build your passives to:
Discharger Life build before switch

After CI taken you should look like this:
Discharger build after switch

You don't have to know anything about melee builds, all you need is 4 red linked (or RRRG) item with melee skills to pass thru most of normal/cruel content.
You could use heavy strike, melee splash weapon physical damage (or elemental, depending of weapn type you use and of your str /ele damage nodes) and faster attacks, or infernal blow as main, or cleave but then without melee splash, everything works.

Ye I get it now, I didnt realize at first that Volls build the charges through Ice Spear, I didnt realize that effect is applied globally and the spear doesnt have to be in Volls socket.
Well I am now lvl 35 so I can actually use Volls, I got carried through normal by my friend leveling Blender, maybe he can boost me up again through normal so I wont have to buy new melee weapons/gems and gear just for the next 20 levels...

One more question, I cant figure out how to use double Enduring charge on separate cooldown, can anyone advice me on this? I have 2 gems on my gear but whenever I use 1 EC the other goes instantly on cooldown with it (yes I am sure its not the same EC).

Is it better to run Perandus or Gifts from Above? This build has no MF at all I know you can run every map with this but with 0 IIQ and 0 IIR is it rly worth?
