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

It's very expensive to get a sword better than a Scaeva because of the 60% crit when in main hand and probably some crit multiplier from green sockets, which makes it better than its 280 pdps.

Wait... So Scaeva socket bonus counts all green sockets you have on your equipment, or only sword sockets?

By the way, this guy is using Belly of the Beast and bonus evasion in his helmet, should I go same way and forget about ES?

And what does Enlighten actually do?

Only the green sockets on the sword count. I have two greens on my scaeva so that's 20% multiplier.

With The Surrender there is no need for energy shield. High armour or ev/ar hybrid. It's debatable if it's better than Aegis or not.

For years there was a support gem called reduced mana that worked on auras it it was required by every build in the game. Basically it made the auras reserve less mana so you could use more of them at the same time. It was very powerful. They took that away and replaced it with a much more difficult gem to obtain and level, and called that Enlighten. It's also not as god as the old reduced mana, but it helps you squeeze in another small mana reserving skill like arctic armour or another herald.

Ehh, that's why I'd love to see an update of the build... You seem to walk other way then the build origin. I have all red sockets on Scaeva same as your Bino's had in Premium setup.

By the way, the first thing that actually got me here was Ice Crash, I really love that skill, can I use it? I mean jackal917 with Surrender/Belly of the Beast, he's using Earthquake, can I use Ice Crash with the same gear setup?

If yes, what would be the 6L gem setup for Ice Crash?

Also if I choose to go with Surrender would I have to change anything on passive skill tree?

Awesome build! Hard to die, having real fun in SSF league! Thx m8!

One of the nice things about the build is that you can use almost any skill. Ice crash clears fast, but puts you at additional risk due to melee range and elemental reflect.

The 6 link gems should be mentioned in the guide.

My recommended Ice Crash support combination for Bringer of Rain is: Increased Area of Effect - Physical to Lightning - Weapon Elemental Damage. For 6-link chest or Tabula, simply add Melee Physical Damage and Faster Attacks.

No changes for surrender.

Damn, so I've tried those guys setup with Arctic Armour, but I have like 61 mana left (even with lvl 3 Enlighten) I can barely attack... How do theee guys play like that...

Well, he did have mana leech on his gloves as well, which might help. 61 should be enough as 6L blade flurry only costs 12 mana, but you would have to make sure to not attack when a monster is not actually there, or you won't leech and might not have mana for the next attack. So it would require more player precision than the default build to add the third aura. Also, putting the movement skill on blood magic support may help. This wouldn't work well with aegis (melee damage on full life), but with surrender it might be the solution.

Here is my current gear:



I switched Blind Support for Mana Leech and it's fine now. That Blind Support I don't know maybe it is good, but that 10% chance is really low I barely blind a mob they all die before, even on my last uber izaro fight I couldn't manage to blind him before he was down... And jackal was right, the character is really tanky now... Sometimes I can't even summon my golem -.- Even when I go afk mobs getting killed by Surrender, that Reckoning skill is really something...



And I finally got this bastard easy with 6 chests full of crap...

And here are my stats:


I still miss some damage and also can't figure out how to get 75% spell block. Also how the hell that guy with legacy Aegis got maxed out 75% block and spell block chances without tempest shield?

Also Im thinking about sword like this isn't this better then Scaeva?


One thing you're deffinaetly right is that Main Hand Crit Chance, when I switch scaeva to other hand my total global crit chance goes down from 30 to 20... That's a huge loss.

Damn I just spend my 45 points, after not playing for 2 years, on the LVL 100 Breach SC - CI PURE ELE BLADEFLURRY INQUISITOR and I regret it now considering the gear I already have...bah.
I should have just done this build.

Well, it would only take a few hours to level up another templar into the 40s and compare the two. Pretty sure this build would win. Best of luck, whatever you decide.

OK, I just have to get the proper gear then as my previous build was tankish thus I have more strength based gear currently.

You can get spell block on jewels (easy) or corrupted shield (super expensive if you are not lucky).

Most likely he has block on gloves as a master craft. You'd have to give up something for that, usually. There's also 1% more block near marauder for 1 skill point.

That sword should be an upgrade from sacaeva. Your crit chance will go down but your dps will go up quite a bit so it may be better depending on how much you value the elemental resist penetration from ascendancy (which incidentally, would be the argument for Bino's).

Edit, by the way, I would change melee damage on full life for something else since you switched from aegis. There is not enough es protecting your life pool so overall even rthough at rest tooltip will go down, something like faster attacks, concentrated / increased AOE (most of the time) would be better.
