Templar - Lightning War God

[Arkatar]

Figured I'd record a video of my Templar. The original idea of this build isn't mine, but I might have tweaked it a bit, can't remember, been a while since I created her.

So yeah, Anomaly 700+ with only 400 Mastery. Level parity would make it feel like a hot knife through butter.

I'll let the video speak for itself, but feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear.

Excellent usage of the synergy skill :)

Heads up: on my list of planned changes, stuff like magnetic orbs will receive a max stack!

[Gunnzi]

This is the reason there are so few guides.. :D

[Dreadmoon "Nescera"]

its a early acsess title, we wrote guides, post our builds, post bugs/glitch/op mechanics cause we want that someone fix that. you want build diversity ;)

Probably a good idea, seeing as, with 90% CDR, I can summon ridiculous amounts of orbs, and laugh as everything dies by the might of my lightning donut while my FPS drops to 30.

Heh yeah, I will be looking at many ways to keep things good but reduce the visual clutter and the FPS drops..

You are 'losing' lots of damage by not having Condemnation.

Im playing a variation of this build. I just stack Magnetic and charge around quickly.

You're right. I just tried it and it does take care of packs considerably quicker, at the expense of taking 2.25x more damage (55% resist vs. capped 80%). But it turns out as long as you don't stand in a pack too long, the additional damage taken doesn't really cause issues, so thanks for remininding me about the fact that a big part of War God's damage comes from Condemnation.

I'll make a new video with my revised build, which I bet looks a whole lot like yours.

[Arkatar]

Turns out the fact that I take 2.25x the damage becomes an issue with monsters that charge me (stags). Not so much a problem once I get multiple stacks of Magnetic Orbs and of the Kill Damage buff, as they'll generally die before they reach me; but otherwise, RIP.

I wouldn't say it happens often enough to feel like switching back, though.

Edit: I spoke too soon... even with plenty of stacks they still manage to one-shot me, when there are multple stags charging at the same time.

Edit #2: I replaced +20% hit points with +20% physical resist, from gems, and it looks like all is good now.

Something similar to the reworked Blade Vortex[pathofexile.gamepedia.com] from Path of Exile might be a good way to handle multiple stacks of skills like Magnetic Orbs, where additional stacks proportionally increase damage and decrease damage interval for a single skill instance rather than creating separate skill instances.

Exactly what I had in mind!
