[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block
|
Yes I got a free reset :)
My Chance to evade has been increased from 29% to 40%, hurray !!! I haven't gone into the intelligence nodes, no Weight Lifting (maybe I'll pull it in future), no Bulwark... To complete my 75% block, I pulled a couple of block nodes in close to the duelist area to (+30% increased defenses from shield and +2% shield block) and Weapon Artistry, on the ranger area. As I had some blue gems leveled, I had to pull a +30 intelligence node between the duelist and ranger area. To replace the life lost by not taking Weight Lifting, I pulled three life nodes on the ranger area, close to the block nodes. Now I have 2 unused points. I have to decide what to do with them: a) Going offensive leading to Aspect of the Panther b) More life leading to Weight Life. c) More endurance leading to the Marauder starting area: Heart of the Gladiator and two 15% reduced extra damage from criticals Actually I have 2878 life. Probably it's low for a level 73. I have a couple of items without life: Stone of Lazhwar and Aurseize My dps is good, 6760 dps buffed myself, using Heavy Strike + Multistrike + Faster Attacks + Melee Physical Damage + Melee Splash. I run Grace, Hatred and Tempest Shield. I'm so lazy I run no aura on life. :S Tempest Shield + Reduced Mana + Iron Will + Culling Strike makes life hilarious. I use Shield Charge widely to reach those caster behind melees. I use Enfeeblement with some heavy bosses. I tank without any problem level 66 and 67 maps. I still haven't gone further.

" If you're fine with life and mana, there's no need to use BM on your main attack. Probably you don't need to use Grace at your level, but I suggest you keep on leveling it. If you replace your Stun gem for Melee Physical Damage, you'll boost your dps. But you will consume more mana. :S If you change it and have problems with mana, a mana leech item could help you. Try to buy Slitherpich, I think they are pretty cheap. IGN: Pintxo (Harbinger)

Hi Sovyn, The new ranger area did wonders for my character. I did a complete respec and gain 2000 dps with Heavy Strike and boosted my evasion to 46%. Evasion is working so well now that I'm able to drop Acrobat. Here's my new build.

" Looks good! Thanks for the update. I have not had much time to play the last few days but should be able to take a closer look at the 11.2 changes and come up with at least the final 120 point "official" build. :) |
|
" Hard to give up the spell block as we can't really get it elsewhere, but that is a very nice amulet. I'd imagine a variation with a different shield might be possible for those lucky enough to find such an amulet. But I still recommend getting a good chunk of evasion somewhere. So if one were to go with lioneyes for example, one would need a couple of good hybrid armour pieces or one godly pure evasion piece to compensate. |

" You want melee physical damage for your heavy strike. It's your biggest bang for the buck. :) Grace will go with your blood magic support gem. You will want a mana leech item (maybe 2% until your gems are leveled and you are doing the big damage). Until then you can use mana potions. Up to you though. I'm just not a big fan of BM for the attack skills. |

" Thanks for your update! :) That's an excellent chance to evade for this build. Excellent DPS too. My life is actually lower than yours and I get by. I doubt many other melee builds could get by with so little. As you know, I'm self found. I only have found / crafted one or two upgrades since I last updated my gear section and that was ages ago. :) Yes, 66 and 67 maps are a little bit hard to get past due to the way the map system is set up. I've only found a few 68's. The "official" 11.2 120 point build is in the works. :) Obviously it won't be too much different but I might come up with something creative, never know. After that I'll plan the progression builds over the next few days. Last edited by Sovyn#2637 on Jul 17, 2013, 1:10:45 AM

" Thanks for sharing that., Interesting. You might actually gain more evasion from getting the shield defenses on the other side, like this, if you have a high evasion shield:

I guess you must be pretty set for resists on your gear. Lucky! :) |
