Chaos damage and why it hurts the game in it's current form.

And currently you can spec fully into HP and defense and just roll through the entire game like you are playing in candyland. And that is any different how?

Have you made a fully defensive character and done this? Can you show me where you've done this? Or are you going off the word of someone else?

So,your flaw was that till level 30+ you got no glass-cannon type of defence.
Have you considered playing with a decoy totem,skeletos,zombies, or something like that?
Also the critical chance could help you by frozing the enemies and as a result no damage on you.

There must be some reason why I am getting cheap deals on +30 chaos resist items.

This is a bit of a derail, but I'd love to see someone who has successfully stacked enough chaos resistance through gear to make the damage trivial at end-game without also having stacked tons of health points.

Kripp's HC Templar builds. You can see them all on youtube. He specs every node into HP, takes 1 or 2 wand circles and 1 hit kills merciless mobs with a wand.

Chaos damage originally was the non-resist-able element, now its just out of place... Probably should segregate it from poison damage too. Get rid of chaos completely? and just have posion?

although i love the added chaos dmg gem

Invalesco did that as he told us and showed us in his video.

I've never seen Kripp NOT playing in a group, I watch him pretty religiously also. He's even stated on his stream how much he has to be careful on that build because he needs someone soaking up the damage. He also is a big fan of decoy totems, and I'm almost positive when he was testing that build in CB he was using some variation of summon skeletons for tight walkways.

His build is also VERY gear dependent. Why? Because he gets his damage from his gear. Instead of thinking that the passive tree is the only way to spec damage, he understands that there's many avenues.

Chaos damage is a issue, because most people are a) to stupid to change resi gear and b) to fine, to switch there yellow gold ring of greed to a blue coral ring with chaos resi and hp.

Erm, if thats a reply to me you are kind of missing the entire point of playing a cold specced Templar. I wouldnt want to run that build because its boring to me.
