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

Hello! Thanks for the build & your support. Just start playing POE first time & leveled 88 with this build. Have had some issues here and there, but for first char it's ok this far. Think this already discussed, but serching the thread for pantheon info give nothing. What's prefered gods minor/major for overall T10-T15 map runs or at least what's really good for this build? Reading them over and over agian still can't chose the best. Last edited by rnkot#1444 on Aug 28, 2017, 9:27:37 AM	Posted by rnkot#1444 on Aug 28, 2017, 3:45:16 AM Quote this Post

I would say that the soul of solaris is slightly better for us in most situations than the other major gods. Minor ones, upgraded Soul of Gruthkul unless you use ice crash, then you want the Soul of Yugul and don't upgrade it.	Posted by Sovyn#2637 on Aug 28, 2017, 8:32:12 PM Quote this Post
Thanks! Was looking primary for same choices. Used Soul of Tukohama as minor one, but considering how mobile you are with Whirling Blades & ranged damage from Blade Flurry, think it wasn't effective one. Why not updating Soul of Yugul with "5% reduced Cold Damage taken if you've been Hit Recently" what's the point? Reread the guide & found that missed Enfeeble completly!

Assuming you get both effects after upgrading rather than replacing the effect, it's fine to upgrade.

Hi Sovyn. Been following your build and enjoying it so far. What masters would you recommend levelling first?	Posted by Zeeshka#4340 on Aug 30, 2017, 7:09:49 AM Quote this Post

Might be actually a little better to just use RT for him. The build is pretty much the same other than that. Most of the new supports don't appear to be better than the old standard options. Ruthless does look good, but damage wouldn't be consistent. Try instead of added fire or faster attacks, which are usually the weaker supports. You can build him with crit - but I would build him pure physical beause of missing elemental piercing. BF - increased melee - increased melee on full life if using aegis - brutality - maim - ruthless give all strong physical damage multiplier. Ruthless gives stuns for a bit of crowd control. With a sword as a good crit weapon due to the easy reachable sword cluster you can build the gladiator variant of the lazy paladin. Auras can be choosen as blasphemie auras or grace for defense, since we don't specialize in elemental damage.	Posted by Llyrain#5646 on Aug 30, 2017, 9:01:25 AM Quote this Post

Could you comment on why you'd think the duelist would be better for solo self-found? Also, any thoughts on the new supports? For example, Ruthless, which the marauder gets in the Twilight Strand now. Sure. The duelist gladiator gets the spell block ascendancy node, so you don't have to try and find or craft spell block gear. Tradeoff, he won't get the strong elemental crits.

Thanks for the reply - I finally found what you'd written about a gladiator build back on page 634. (I wish this forum had search-in-thread.) Just so I can find it again, here's what Sovyn wrote earlier: " Sovyn wrote: " Mephos wrote: may I ask if the build would also work out if I use duelist gladiator for 100% block to spellblock conversion. it would save me some items but I´m not sure if I will get the same dmg numbers as in your guide. You can, yes. The build ends up being a bit different, mostly because you may end up leaning toward resolute technique since just getting the crit nodes without Inquisitor is not as juicy. Obviously you can use non-spellblock amulet and boot options which is a minor difference too. The end result will be about the same, maybe a little less gear dependent for solo self-found (SSF). For non-SSF / regular game, the spell block items are common and inexpensive so that would be a very minor thing. Overall clear speed may be a little bit slower than the build with Inquisitor/crits, but it will still be good. The skill tree would be quite similar. Something like this.

So, I've just started playing PoE and thought this build would fit how I play well. I'm level 40 right now and following the build, loving it so far and doing great during normal play but found I can't get through Izaro's 3rd fight in the Labyrinth. Admittedly it was my first try, and I started the Labyrinth at level 36. Did well through the initial rooms, had a few issues with the first 2 Izaro fights but got through them by kiting and doing a nice Benny Hill impression when needed. What would be the consensus on a good level to try the Labyrinth/Izaro again? I know I should just "git gud", but it will take some time. :-) Any advice would be great.
