Lightning Templar 1H/Shield, Experimental Build - Help

Hello

I have decided I want a 1H/Shield with tempest shield and quick strike, I have decided to theorycraft my own build and would greatly appreciate input. I may have this completely wrong but hopefully this can give an idea to my aim, hurt them when they hit me, hurt them when I hit them.

Step 1: Gain some str, a little block and some elemental damage, I have left health increase out since in the first 15 levels its not exactly difficult, rather build on the stats I'll need from gear breaking into some shield block as well.



Step 2: Add some life, damage and resists.



Step 3: Havnt been taking much accuracy lets go for that resolute technique


Step 4: More Life More Damage


Step 5: More Damage, get some stun protection.

IMHO - big mistake is going to center, taking all that shitty +4% melee damage and +8% life nodes, while you can go instead to maradeur part of tree, taking super nodes, like:

+15% all rez, +10-13% life, +1.5% life regen, +18% dmg with one handed
etc


Other thing, you have too many +% dmg, and very few shield and armor nodes.

Why you take shield, if you have only 3 nodes for it?

Thanks for responding

I ended up digging around some more and this post is looking more like it for shields. Looking at working around it now.
