PoE Templar builds with custom stat filters

DPS is wildly innacurate but to get an idea of dps it should be about 7.5 triggers of ice spear and the other skill per second. Or you can just set the Ice Spear and other skill count to about 9-10 to see how much damage a single attack with shards would deal but that happens over more than a second. Two hander version change the item set to Two hander, tree to Two Hander, Skills enable two hander and disable the default LS CoC, disable tempest shield and precision and enable Grace

DPS is calculated this way: 2 guaranteed brands attached to the enemy = 334k DPS x 2 = 669k DPS 5 additional brands shotgunning if there are other valid targets around 786k DPS (a little more if you manage to hit with explosion instead of shockwave) Total of 1455k DPS, almost 1.5 mil Up to double that much depending on how many brands are in last 25% of duration Vaal Breach helps shotgunning bosses

DISCLAIMER: This isn't meant to be a guide but a proof of concept. While I did play this character straight from day 1 of the league, I don't really recommend it early because it's a bit clunky before Divergent Berserk and Lethal Pride appeared on trade which was around day 3, and also the playstyle is really active. Thought I'd share the idea behind the build I used to get 38 Challenges this league. Buffs to self-cast this league made me once again reconsider the viability of Fanaticism, a buff intended to be used for self-casters provided by Instruments of Zeal from the Inquisitor ascendan

So I got some helpful feedback and decided to change to Hexblast Hierophant, and would love some more opinions and thoughts. thanks guys!

Used this build to beat every available pinnacle boss pretty easily other than Feared which I can't access yet (fucked up witnessing Cortex, very painful) and have been mapping smoothly with it. Wanted a few pointers as to what I can do next. On my list is filling out my Chaos Resists, trying to fish for more QOL reservation efficiency and getting more ES/Life. Damage wise im pretty happy already. Do you think that going for Pious Path was worth it defensively for me, or should I spend those points better?
