"Templar Summoner" build

[Prowler]

yooo... i'm new to this game, and i'm trying to do, what was impossible on Diablo 2, a Templar Summoner... :3 ... can someone pls give me tips on how to make this build(a link to a character planner or something), and of course, if this is even possible/viable in this game ?!

Summoner is very straight forward, pick every summon node is the tree, they're all in the templar-witch area so it's not that difficult to achieve with a templar (witches, scions and templars are the default summoner options, the others are a little far in the tree).

The important thing however is what summons do you want to use. As a templar you get easy access to totems and strength nodes, so a totem/raging spirit build is fairly easy to make (and for the most part it's cheap, unless you want to finish with a pledge of hands unique staff which costs a lot but not mandatory unless you're far in endgame).
The base gem combo of raging spirits is : raging spirits / multistrike / splash / echo. Then you add another raging spirit combo with spell totem support gem and you get you and your totems to spam spirits.

There are a lot of summoner templar builds on the offcial forum of the game, you should check them out.

okay, but, str or vit, in the "lower level tree" ??

what do you mean by vit ? str is the stat that gives life. That said you only gain enough str to get the req. of red gems. Then you go minion nodes and %life nodes.

sorry, is Mana, that i meant, how much do i need.... :P

For mana you usually do it with just int node you take while going to the minion clusters and pick eldritch battery to convert the ES you get from the armor and stats into mana. People using auras usually also pick reduced mana reserved to stack them. mana isn't that a issue usually.
