I ended up linking heavy strike with blood magic, added melee damage and life on hit that I could switch out for faster attacks later and then eventually managed to add splash on top of that with a 5L chest. At that point, the clear speed was very good, but it took me 60 lvls to get there :P


Sounds like you are overdue to switch out the blood magic gem for a damage support gem and get a mana leech item. :) HS + melee phys + added fire dmg + splash is decent if you can't get a multistrike. Might run into trouble with mana adding life gain on hit though. Maybe with enough mana regen from gear. Leech is queued to 12.5% of your max mana per second but with enough regen you can push the envelope a bit.
Is this getting nerfed come release? It is a really simple build?? I got a 60 templar on it.. pls dont say they are going to nerf it all now..??

Nope, no real nerf that I am aware of. Might have to get a little more elemental resists on gear, but it remains to be seen.
What I really wanna ask too guys is Is the weaver fight normally pretty hard? and some Elite mobs in the cross road (packs of blue mobs) like the brown bull's for instance! They hit very hard? Is this normal? I was a level 60 templar, 2k HP 2700 Armor.. everything done properly? the mobs are level 58 though..?

RESISTS : 35 FIRE % 77 COLD % 77 ELECTRIC %

49% BLOCK CHANCE.

The Weaver was buffed quite a lot recently.

I apologize if I am telling you things you already know, but your block chance and fire resist are too low. Especially the block chance as that's the main thrust of this build. If you are following the guide, you will notice in the level 60 build I have posted that you should have 37% block chance from the tree. You need either a decent crafted/found 'rare' shield with 38% chance to block (base item would be a corrugated buckler, or wait for a vaal buckler), or Crest of Perandus to complete the standard build at your level.

Weaver fight is insane hard unless you prepare for it.
Did almost die against her using reave, when i noticed that i could only hit the first mobs and there did just spawn more and more spiders...

so did go grab a level 1 dominating blow to have as kill hit. Then i did start to level a second attack gem :-P
TLDR for patch notes:

"
Characters now receive 8 life per level rather than 6.
Soul Taker: Increased Physical Damage has been reduced.
Rainbowstride: All Elemental Resistances has been reduced.
Weapon Elemental Damage: Mana cost reduced. Damage reduced by 21%.

Auras
For all Auras: Base area of effect has been increased. The area of effect bonus from quality has been doubled.
The mana cost for all auras except Clarity has been changed to 60% reservation.
Anger: Damage has been increased.
Wrath: Damage has been increased.
Hatred: Damage increase has been increased.
Purity: Maximum resistances provided have been reduced.
Haste: Attack Speed, Cast Speed and Movement speed increases have been increased. Haste now follows the same progression of area of effect changes as other auras.
Vitality: Life Regeneration has been increased.
Discipline: Energy Shield granted has been increased.
Grace: Evasion granted has been increased.
Clarity: The mana regeneration has been increased by around 15% at all levels.


Well there go the auras. I was hoping we could run three, but it ends up we can only run two auras. I'll probably go with Determination and either Grace or Hatred. Oh, and consider rerolling your Soul Taker to high % phys damage or Rainbowstrides to max block before the patch, it's your last chance.

Edit: At least we'll have a lot more gem slots now!

Yes I understand my fire is too low! But this is unbuffed? when I got all 3 auras on I am with 77% all around? so 37% is too low? hmm.. that sucks :( how can I increase really?

Check my lvl 65's gear and tell me what I should do? :)

Thanks for posting the summary of pertinent patch notes, seiferoth!

So, on the auras, it's about what we expected. Determination and Grace will be fine. Every build will need more resists on gear after this patch -- but we will still have the advantage of the 20% resists from the tree that others do not.

The only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not the new aura cost reduction nodes will be worth sacrificing other necessary nodes for or not.

I forgot to mention -- this one will make a nice difference for us -- several hundred life -- perhaps 500 at high level.
