[0.9.13] Kripparrian's Bow Templar Build

My LA templar is lv64 and gears are like this;





Totally poor gears but I'm really having fun now.

I took Iron Grip first before Eldrich Battery line, and cuz of it had some issue about mana. But, you know, Mana Leech rocks. My mana points are just 400ish, but no trouble in using Wrath+Hatred+Anger.

Then I have a question. Why do EB users use Discipline? Is there any profit? I heard that mana cost of discipline is higher than increased es points...

Depends on the % your ES points get multiplied with, which depends on your INT and nodes in talent tree. So the aura gives a number of lets say 30 es, then it depends, on every 5 int you get like 1% multiplication factor for the es increase, and gear gives you some aswell

Any improvements to this build? I see there are hardly any dex nodes enabled. So does gear rely on obtaining dexterity?

Level 66 using this build at the moment, it completely rocks.

I have a few questions tho:


[1] Single target I'm currently using Frenzy. Don't have Ele Hit yet. Is Ele Hit definitely better than Frenzy? If so, what support gems (besides weapon ele dmg, obviously) would you use with Ele Hit?


[2] Where does the build go past where Kripp shows it? He mentions double curse or life, but that's stll not extremely high level. Are there any other major passives that people shoot for?

Thx for answering, sir!

Now I see +_+)

Tried making my own update to this build. If I go through with this I'll save the 8 nodes to get to EB last.

* for Hardcore so both variants have 220-230% increased hp:

Will templar archer be nice on merciless with EB and plenty of damaging auras and main skill - Elemental Hit with supports with only flat damage, like added lighting damage and added cold damage - using this bow:



so base physical damage will be near 0, but look at this bow attack speed - like 3-4 attacks in second. With added elemental damage will be nice?


or its better to take some dex nodes and take bow with good damage and rely on Lighting Arrow, and to take Iron Grip to add Str bonus to projectiles?
like this variant -
ofc some dmg auras too, but dmg will be not only from auras, and i can add % support gems in LA.

Hey Guys,

I have two Questions for you:

#1 Is Eldritch Battery a must have in this Build or is it just for the extra Auras ?

#2 Why did nobody get the 3 extra Weapon Elemental Damage nodes in the middle of the Skill tree ?

Thx in advance !

[1] ele hit is way better cause it scales of you ele dmg even more, use it with faster attacks and weapon ele dmg gives you a 3 linked single target nuke.

[2] just use commen sense, need life, build life. If you need anything else, go for that.

#1 i would recommend the EB passive indeed, the auras give ele dmg which scales very well with your build. Also run auras like purity/determination for extra defensives. (Purity against refelct mobs is highly welcome as kripp said in his how to build a character vid @ youtube)


#2 probably not effective enough didnt check it though
