Resolute Technique

Hi everyone! My question is basically how useful resolute technique is. Are there any skills that benefit greatly from it (such as a powerful attack with lowered accuracy)? What's best to focus on beside this skill? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Its main advatage is that you do not need to care for dex (accuracy) - e.g. a character build purely on str will do huge damage (thanks partly to the str damage bonus) but it won't help him if he does not hit his enemies - so he either has to get +accuracy gear AND take some dex + accuracy nods (of course loosing on str and other stuff for that) OR he takes RT, which cost only 1 skill point and you are not dependant on +accuracy items anymore (but of course the downside for that is that you can never strike a critical hit)

EDIT: a short summary: you save a lot of passive points which you can put elsewhere for the price of loosing crits.

EDIT2: about your question on what to focus, the most obvious answer is a str based character (since a dex heavy build does not need RT, a int heavy build will probably(of cours there are a lot of ways to build a char so i won't say always ;)) use mostly spells for dealing damage - spells always hit, so RT doesn't give any benefits to them, it only takes away your possiblity to crit)

Depends greatly on the build of course. RT is great for melee, especially if you rely on life leech or life on hit as you can't leech if you don't hit. If you intend to get Blood Magic, RT is recommended. You can completely ignore any accuracy and crit passives, freeing up points for other things if your build is headed towards the mara area anyway. RT will generally result in higher average DPS and more consistent damage, unless you spec heavily into crit (which still needs accuracy).

The real downside of RT is no crits. This also negates spell crits, so it's not recommended for builds relying on spells- they always hit anyway. Crits proc elemental effects like freeze or burning, so If your build relies on this you'll only be able to use other sources to get those effects- i.e ignite support gem, passives, and curses like flammability.

Weapon choice should also be considered prior to taking RT.

Many melee weapon types have a Dex requirement in order to be able to wield them so you may be chasing Dex passives in the skill tree anyway. The exception being maces and staffs which makes them a good choice if going RT.

Let me give you another perspective:

I prefer using Dexterity weapons like daggers and swords mainly because of their higher attack speed. These weapons have +accuracy/crit chance/crit multiplier properties by default. And since I pick dexterity nodes anyway in order to wield those weapons I do not go for RT. It would waste a lost of my stats.

Resolute technique is too good to pass for melee.

my mara light strike mara has 250 dex yet has only 74% accuracy in end game, which is sad, so yeah, resolute technique definitely worth it for mara or templar unless ur build is crit heavy

Do you have some of the +% accuracy nodes and accuracy gear? My Templar (lvl 64) has far less dex (189) and has a 83% chance to hit...

EDIT: what lvl are you? Because your chance to hit written in the stats screen is calculated against an average enemy of your own lvl (so if you outlevel some content you will do better than written in the stats)

Im planning to take RT for my templar because im not into dex and crit doesnt benefits me that much, this thread will help me decide, thanks.

The description is kinda vague does this also apply to spell critical?

Edit: it was mentioned above as yes
