ya, linked sockets are what you really want later on.

I use Ground Slam, my build is pretty much just a ground slammer.

Right now I have a 4 link chest piece, 3 red and 1 green sockets. so I put Ground slam in there than add attack speed (green support gem) and added fire damage and life on hit (red support gems). And that means only when I use ground slam, it has increased attack speed (30% currently) + 34% physical damage added as fire + 34 life on hit. So I just made Ground Slam super awesome!

also tiny little connections between sockets


what those connections(links) do is allow a support gem in one socket to effect a gem in another linked socket.

ex: Green skill gem Poison Arrow in one socket linked to Multiple Projectile support gem in another socket.

result: when you shoot a 3 Poison Arrows come out instead of 1


Multiple support gems can effect a single skill gem IF they are all connected with links.

ex: Poison Arrow + Multiple Project + Increase AOE + Increased Duration

Result: 3 Poison arrow with 30% increase cloud that last 30% longer


You can really make skills more effective by using support gems.

Aha. Thanks!

I can imagine.

just before the last wipe I crafted a set of holy chainmail for my templar. it had 5 connected sockets. I put in Ice Spear + spell totem + greater multiple projectiles + cold to fire conversion + elemental proliferation

the result was I could raise a totem that would shoot 5 ice spears every half second. the ice spears would chill/freeze enemies and set them on fire for a nice DoT. any enemies that got close to the frozen & burning foes would get chilled and burned also.

the mana cost was insane but the totems did all the work. it actually saves mana when you attach spell totem support gem because the totem will just keep on casting the spells repeatedly.

yea, i made an ice templar to i was sporting dual wands that gave me about 200-300% spell/elemental damage increase. I had 2 totem skill and had ice skills of my own as well.

brutal ... i could fling 12+ ice bolts at a time


I could destroy a room with ice in seconds

Now you tell me, my Templar is fudged.

How can I post it? Screenshot would make those skills little unrecognizable dots.

the easiest way to do it...

open your browser, minimize, then open the game. login to your character and open up your skill tree.

go back to your browser, go to this link http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUA and copy your characters skill tree onto the websites skill tree map. (do it in that order. the game may stall out if you open apps when the game is already running)

once you match up the skill trees, scroll to the bottom of the map on the website. there is a box with the heading; link to this build. copy that code and post it here with the insert link tool. then we can go to the website and make changes to the skill tree. we can show you what we would do to change the build by posting the link to the revised skill tree maps.

thats not a biggie. the easiest way to get them is to trade other orbs or items.

it looks like you're chasing down offensive bonuses too aggressively. its going to be tough to survive in melee. since you are level 27, you should have 2 respec points unless you have already used them.

to start, i would drop the 2 cold damage% nodes and pick up 2 life nodes that are close to the templar root. that will look like this. two point change

from there you want to get more life, armor and mana shield. I would go ahead and get the armor/shield nodes closest to your root. that will look like this. 6 more points

so if you can stick it out for 6 more levels of grinding, you can raise your health by 36% with 30 hp on top. you would also raise both your armor and mana shield by 44% and increase all your elemental resistances by 10%. you won't be a tank but you should notice the improved durability. you can always just barter for the orbs of regret.

I'll show you how I built my templar last time around

first 8 levels

level 18

level 24

level 32 resolute technique will help if you use sceptres. if you prefer wands, skip it. I like using totems to cast my spells, if you prefer to cast spells on your own skip that too.

this is an alternate build for level 32 if you want to skip totems and resolute technique. this will make you tougher vs. melee but you will be short on mana and light on melee damage.

level 40ish I'm getting in position to get more mana by branching my constellation to the witch section.

just shy of level 60 and then my character got wiped just when I was starting to dominate. I didn't die once between levels 30 and 59.

the most important thing is to get your ducks in a row and get clusters of defensive bonuses. pick up offensive bonuses where you can but they shouldn't be a priority. you should try to make your spells stronger through gem levels and gear.

I love the totems, I have just the one though right now. It's little more than a nuisance to the enemies at level 33 though.

Did you take Ancestral Bond? you can't deal damage with skills yourself? that seems like a tremendous curse.

yeah. the damage reduction is steep. I always used my most powerful spell in the totem. multiple projectiles will help a lot. or you can put frost nova in the totem so it will slow the enemies down while you blast away with spells.

i didn't do ancestral bond because it didn't exist before open beta. I think that was their way of nerfing totem spam. before the wipe it was just extra totem bonus.

[Mr. Laz]

btw 2 remote totems is no longer a great option because the passive that allows more totems also blocks your ability to use skill yourself.

2 totems is pretty much only feasible if you build a summoner


but imo a remote totem with a skelly skill gem attached to it is pretty functional for any character. Endless skelly summoning FTW!

Not sure how to have totems use skills, just put the totem in something linked to say skeleton summoning?
