[3.25] Templar Full Screen Bladefall CwC - Wave 15 facetank

Introduction
While I was satisfied with my Volatile Dead Build for a long time,
it got nerfed by many patches so I tried something new: Bladefall.
As I like one-button builds I just evolved my Volatile Dead build into Bladefall CwC via Cyclone.

The Build has an incredible high area of effect which helps clearing maps very fast.

In its final form the Build is extremely tanky with decent amount of damage to facetank i.e. Wave 15 Simulacrum and clear it within reasonable time.

The Idea
Cyclone - CwC - Bladefall of Volleys

We achieve very high AoE and Damage via:
* Awakened Spell Cascade (5x Bladefall)
* Physical to Fire conversion (later chaos instead)
* High Crit Chance via Inquisitor Ascendancy
* Low Life mechanics
* Dual Curse
* Level 32 (39) Bladefall in the upper end

Also we have a lot of defensive things like:
* High Block chances
* Moderate armour
* Coruscating Elixir (Chaos damage does not bypass ES + a good amount of ES regen)
* ES and Life on hit via Watcher's Eye
* Immunity to: Bleed, Poison, Silence, Corrupted Blood, Burning Ground, all Ailments
* Crit & Curse immunity

Last but not least Stampede and CwC gives a lot of flexibility to avoid Boss mechanics.

Playstyle
Just Cyclone your way through Mob Packs or around bosses.

My maybe final Version in 3.25:

And if you have 10-15 mirrors at hand, use a +8 Amulet ...

The Uniques are basically BiS and mostly mandatory (Implicit corruptions are optional)
Mana Cost on Ring is very much needed for the blue mana ring monsters.

Budget
This build works with a low investment but has an extremely high scaling potential. It scales especially from skill levels and has a ceiling of multiple mirrors (i.e. +8 Amulet for 10+ mirrors).

nice looking build!! Thank you for sharing it.

Some quick comments:

You mentioned "exalts" as a cost in the gear details section. That should be changed to Divines these days :)

The bandit reward is only 1 passive point now, no longer 2

Your POB for Inquisitor has large negative mana usage as it looks like too many auras are active

Oh, dang, fixed.
Some parts of the build text were copied from my old one.
Also PoB I missed to remove Skitterbots from the Inquisitor one.

I added a very high budget version including Mageblood which can facetank Wave 15 Simulacrum:

(sadly dmg is pretty "low", so it takes some time, especially with Fire Resist Mod)

Added Wave 15 Simulacrum VIdeo with newest PoB:

Featuring now inclusion of RF as DMG buff.

Hello my dude! Loved the build, trying to put it together on my inquisitor. Got a couple of questions

Do we convert 100% to fire? I saw we have avatar of fire and the fire convert mastery. But I think it doesnt add to 100%, is that so? Im kinda clueless

Also, since we use BF of volleys, do we really need bladeblast on gloves? I dont understand the bladeblast purpose since BF of volleys doesnt leave blades on the ground.

Thanks for the build!!

Hey, great to hear someone enjoys it :-)

Actually the Bladeblast was a false thought, just use Ball Lightning instead.

Conversion is maybe not 100% in the basis version but in the Hierophant I squeezed in Herald of Ash so it adds up I think.
Generally I did not focus to much on the conversion but experimented within PoB to maximize evrything.

Edit: PoBs fixed

I managed to find a way to increase DMG further:


It's ~ 40% more dmg overall giving up slight amount of defense.

Also it enables us to reuse the 6L of the Chest for Dual Curse.
