[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block

Is a Lioneye's remorse pinnacle tower shield (don't know how to link the item) something that would work to have as a shield at higher lvl on this build? Just got one would be cool to use it or should i go for some others stats or so?

Sorry for a noobie question new to the game etc ;P

I think that's great for the build! gives you tons of armor and nice life. you just have to make up for the lower block chance if you still want to keep it at max 75%. if you have leather&steel the 5% move speed reduction shouldn't be a big deal :)

nice find!

@tommigee -- yep 1k as a melee, even this one, in maps would take some guts (and great gear), not for me either. :) But you know what kind of roulette those Russians like to play. :D (Borislav, I'm kidding.) :)

on the other hand I have barely any magic find at the moment, which isn't ideal either. did you say you swapped out some life gear for higher magic find? I should think about that too, cause survival is not a problem with currently 3.8k life (3.3 with auras).

despite low MF I did get super lucky last week and found another bringer of rain, this time almost max roll. excitiiing :) got it 4-linked with 1 jeweller and 7 fusings!

Thanks Xiaoyen - for that SHIFT-clicking for using orbs - I was doing one at a time till now!

I used a few chromo and got the 5L GGGGG to 5L GGGRB now :)

My end game plan is to run with one Andvarius ring and use talents to fill in any deficiency in resists. I think that offers the best bang-for-the-buck in terms of taking up one slot for IIR. Atm I'm still using Aurseize gloves and a normal ring because I haven't found suitable alternatives yet.

hi Intrilo - to link items from your character or stash, click reply then - click on the picture of your character on top (use switch character to switch to other chars if you got them).

It will open a window with the character's inventory, and also the stash. Just click ONCE on each item you want to link, then close that new window.

The links will appear in your post.


Edit:

A question: I have my resists maxxed (except Chaos which is at -30% still) at merciless (I am in beginning of act 3 merciless now - level 69). I am thinking of replacing my necklace (or a ring or two) as all of them have 2 resists or so (which are overcap).

If I buy a stone of lazhwar Lapis Amulet (50% of block chance applied to spells), will the 50% block chance apply to spells without taking anything away from my regular melee block? I-e, I am now at 72% Block chance for melee attacks. If I get that amulet, would I have 72% block chance for melee attacks AND 36% block chance for spells on top of that? thanks

Hello, i'm really enjoying this build at the moment,
I've got a ton of char ... the highest one beeing (only) lvl 53 ...
and this one is by far the tankiest and strongest one
- thanks to the fact that i could use most of the uniques and "nice" leveling stuff in my stash -

I'm lvl 47, beginning act 3 cruel, and my dsp has been skyrocket since i could change my Brightbeak to a nice(?) tomahawk.
Being all resist capped i think i'll be able to finish cruel difficulty without any trouble.
I also recently dropped my first exalted orb and i'm now thinking to the next steps :

Here is what i'm using, what could be the best improvement?

What would be my next priority for merciless difficulty ?
The axe increase my dps up to 3.1k, it really suprised me, and there is only 4 mods on it,
is there anything worth i can do on it or should i wait for higher level item ?

Another question, I've seen not so much intelligence node in the build,
I still can level my blue gems but i'm stucked with some equipped uniques.
I was thinking to take a temporary node like "Wisdom of the Glade" ?
How did you do ?
Maybe i misunderstood something and not all blue gems must be fully leveled ?
or leveled up at higher level with an high end gear ?

Thanks for you advices, nice interesting thread with a lot of helpful people !

I found a 5 Green Socket white chest piece earlier last week, which had 5G and blew all the hoarded chromes and fusings (30 to 40 each). I ended up with 5L and all green (best I got was 2 red sockets I think). It sits in the stash after having eaten up my "life savings" lol.

Yep, that's the PoE crafting system in my experience as well. Only in my case, I would not have even gotten the 5L. :D But, the system has given me a couple useful pieces over time.

It's a nice shield but should be paired with Bringer of Rain (preferred) or The Anvil as these items offer extra block chance so you won't have to vary too much from the recommended build.

If you go with The Anvil you would need to make up evasion somewhere else, like on your chest, OR boots and gloves or some combo of two items (I suggest having at least 30% chance to avoid with Grace running).

Yes, I am experimenting with a unique I found:



The loss of life is significant as I don't have much to begin with, but workable (I have not died with them equipped -- knock on wood).

So far, no good finds with them. :)
