Hi guys,
i'm pretty new in the build, and Templar class too.

I wanna try this style of playing, but in my head (maybe just for standard mode) i want to try to make RF viable in it.

So, what ascendancy u suggest me to pick? Inquisitor or Guardian?

Thanks!!

Yeah, I'm really surprised Aegis didn't get nerfed considering how powerful and popular it is.

If the shield does go up in price we could temporarily replace it with a shaper shield with 5% es gained on block. Nowhere near as good, but might be the best alternative while saving for the shield.

Chris in the interview said that the "powerful ones" would be restricted to Maven only. He did not list those but we don't use any of the common powerful ones

Which ones are the "powerful" ones? We use elemental focus, and my scorching ray can also burning damage, controlled destruction, swift affliction. I think ignite stuff though will be expensive, a lot of noise about elementalist explosive arrow totem out there, although DD ignite might be less popular with the lower of mob life.

Hey guys, what are your thoughts on using asenath gentle touch to help clear when mapping? we can still switch to rare when fighting bosses like sirus/conquerors. HoA gives 15% phys as extra fire dmg, fire mastery gives 40% phys to fire conversion and avatar of fire gives 50% conversion. Not sure if we need all of those for consistent chain explosion.

the explosion caused by asenath gentle touch is physical damage:

+(20-30) to Intelligence
+(60-80) to maximum Life
+(60-80) to maximum Mana
Curse Enemies with Temporal Chains on Hit, with 40% increased Effect
Non-Aura Curses you inflict are not removed from Dying Enemies
Enemies near corpses affected by your Curses are Blinded
Enemies Killed near corpses affected by your Curses explode, dealing
3% of their Life as Physical Damage

Since we scale fire damage my concern is that the physical damage is not significant enough to cause consistent chain explosion so we need to convert it to fire.

if you can make it work, please let us know. It is a very interesting idea.

I am not sure it will work for our crit version since we need rare gloves to help balance our strength and int but you may be able to do it with out needing them.

Made some changes in your inquisitor tree to slot in asenath's gentle touch, The chain explosion should greatly improve mapping/clearing:

We can easily switch to a pair of damage rare gloves for big boss fights, just need to make sure the gloves have the exact same intelligence number.

With the damage conversion, we can also switch to different channeling skills like storm burst (100% convert to fire) for some fun variation and possibly even better map clearing.

Can't wait to try this out in 3.17!!

I think in 3.17 this build will be better off using lightning tendrils. After being buffed to useful levels, the damage of the 2 skills are very similar to each other. That means when you aren't losing massive amounts of damage you can use tendrils to have better aoe clear. Which was the biggest weakness this build has.

Incinerate has higher radius when you have the stages stacked to max but tendrils has a higher BASE radius. That means for enemies which die with a couple of hits you end up killing packs faster because you don't have to wait for the aoe to grow.

If you're looking at level 21 gems. Tendrils has a constant 30 radius while incinerate starts at 20 radius and grows to 40. Plus tendrils has higher dps than incinerate does before max stacks. While that's minor, it might save a couple ticks worth of cast time on trash.

The build also requires almost 0 change. Swap the main skill gem and respec fire nodes for lightning nodes. Replace combustion support with a different utility gem or replace an unset ring. Orb of Storms would be a great addition but you don't have enough sockets for it.

I would definitely be running this build with tendrils instead of incinerate.

I agree with you that tendrils probably clears better thanks to the better aoe, but with our gear/tree bossing will be slower.
