Jaamon's Notes

>>> Prepared by Jaamon (Don't forget to join my discord.That's where i chat with people / https://discord.gg/GaVvd7znTH) <<< ********** This is a Templar-Guardian build.You can easily level with this at a new league with Zero Budget.Build is overall cheap compared to other minion builds ********** ********** Check the equipment and talent trees depending on the progress you are at. ********** !!!! NOTE:You cannot start leveling as dominating blow because it is a level 28 gem.Follow the steps below until you have it. !!!! > Detailed gem links are in "Skills" section < Early game info: Do not link herald of purities with support gems or do not use Pride aura until you buy Circle of guilt rings or Herald of purity reserve reduction helmet enchant.Otherwise you can't reserve all buffs&auras. 3.15 Update: Impale got nerfed hard so i'm using Predator support instead.You have to press the button on your skillbar and mark the bosses for more dps. Weapon choice while leveling -> Use 1-handeds that has good physical damage and also attack speed.Use a shield on off-hand. If you can't find any gems, you can buy those at Act 3-Library or Act 6 Town. Alternative leveling method for Act1 and 2 suggested by Patrik Jajcay <3 Holy Flame Totem + Infused Channeling + Summon Phantasm & Flame Wall --- ACT 1 --- Kill Hillock.Take Smite and start leveling with that.You have to use a one-handed melee weapon. Read the gem's details for suited weapons.You can dual-wield or use a shield. Get Raise Zombie if you need some friends :( Get Ancestral Call , Ancestral Protector,Molten Shell ,Summon Holy Relic(You can get this later) and Dash at lvl 4. Get Added Lightning Damage,Minion Damage and Added Fire Damage at lvl 8.You can also get Melee Splash for future use.(For dominating blow at lvl 28.) Swap Ancestral Call with Added Fire Damage at unique bosses if you want more single target dps(Brutus,Bandits etc.) Get Shield Charge at lvl 10.(You can skip this if you like playing with Dash,but you'll need this eventually.) --- ACT 2 --- Get Herald of Purity at lvl 16.Don't try to link it with support gems while leveling. Get Melee Physical Damage and Predator at lvl 18. --- ACT 3 --- Get Dread Banner and Pride at lvl 24.(You need these at lvl 28 when you start playing as Dominating blow) Get Dominating Blow at lvl 28.You don't need Ancestral Protector and Smite anymore. Get Fortify,Feeding Frenzy,Convocation at lvl 31.(Act 3 Library NPC sells all gems) --- ACT 4 --- Get Summon Carrion Golem at lvl 34. Get Brutality & Multistrike at lvl 38. --- ACT 5-10 --- Nothing special. Good luck!
