Hey,
Im not quite sure but is it intentional that in the budget setup you use
Shield Charge in your weapon aswell as in the Shield.
Im just curious . :)
And thanks for this great build , I love playing with it so far .

Sorry im fairly new to the game,
you said in the levelling section to link Pierce (lvl 1),
Where am I suppose to get Pierce Support early on as a Templar?
Either you make a twink char to get it or buy it from another player.

Have a few questions now that I'm into maps with this build. First off, it's quite strong, but I think there may be some things missing. Energy leech is obviously pretty new and seemingly quite strong, could we potentially go eldritch battery (which is only 3 passive points away)? I'm seeing a lot of these in the top spark builds, some of them even use the ES leech in a 3 link.
What do you think about unleash support? I'm also seeing a lot of people running this instead of spell echo support, it more or less does the same thing but doesn't lock you in place, not sure how the damage works out.
What do you think about essence worm with clear mind jewel? This frees up a lot of additional mana to be more tanky and adds a decent chunk of damage from clear mind, obviously wouldn't do this if you go with the elder/shaper ring combo and you couldn't use heralds with this set up, but wrath alone may be worth the benefit.
One last thing, do you think it would be reasonable to drop the first ascendancy and go into sanctify/pious path instead. You can pretty much always been on conc ground at this point and it would pretty much guarantee eldritch battery uptime on energy shield if we went that route. Also, shield charge is quite awful for a lot of maps and especially seeing some of the synthesis stuff I am just shield charging into a wall and getting sucked out of the memories. I think flame dash would be better overall this league.
Thoughts?
Edit: Also, is there a reason we don't spec the one point into holy dominion on the left side of the tree? Thats 12% all res and 12% extra elemental damage for one point. I suppose its unecessary if your resistances are capped, but it would free up a lot of stats on rings and amulets.
Unleash seems to be interesting ... just try it out. I don't play a sparker this season so I can't.
sanctify/pious path first - yeah maybe.

You can try to make a 4-5 linked singled target setup with a vaal skill like blade vortex / Storm call. I would just farm as fast and much as possible and get better gear, higher level etc. This build scales very well with higher level and better gear.

Feel like I'm missing something important without realising it.. or is this build not made for end game? Thought with the spark buff this would be nuts?
The crit thing takes some time to scale.

bash any thoughts on pious + zealotry? every top ladder sparker is doing that
According to PoB wrath does more damage to zealotry. Pious seems to be a good option!

What would be the best 5 links setup for just starting out on maps. See quite a few variations.

You need to allow people to view your characters in your account settings somewhere, Can't really tell what might be wrong since I can't see your items/tree. In general you want to try and get the boss near a corner/box and pop your orb of storms or storm brand with pCoC and then use vaal spark and spam your regular spark that should kill most of the bosses you're dealing with.

Take the 6-link setup and remove faster projectiles for the most damage but you lose a fair bit of utility... I think this is still the best outcome for dps though. Probably want to try for a tabula unless your 5link is an inpulsa in which case your dps should be fine regardless.

Build still shows to take it. The real question is whether Pious path is better than instruments of virtue, and the answer is probably yes but I haven't tested it yet.

Why use Controlled Destruction support when we go for all the crit? Aren't we kinda screwing ourselves over? Never understood this

I think it's because the gem gives one of the most "more" multipliers available to us, the other being elemental focus but being able to freeze enemies is very significant for clear speed/safety. On my character I lose 5% crit chance with controlled effect on but gain 80-1200 added lightning damage essentially which turns into 15000 dps tooltip with no flasks/charges/other buffs. Kind of hard to replace that and 5% less chance to crit doesn't hurt too badly in the long run.
