Some ideas for my V/T
So im building a V/T scince my experimental Dreamer/Vindicator was...well crap. The guide here on this forum is slightly outdated, and I have some new ideas that could use some feedback
. Its going to be a templar oriented V/T, using FoH as main attack to draw enemys close (or just kill them), then use smite as a finisher or main attack vs resist & absorb stackers. Skills would be something like: 20 FoH, 20 Holy Shock, 20 Holy Shield, 20 Fanatscism, and rest into Conviction (6 at lvl 90). Only 1 pt is Smite doesnt effect the damage too much scince its gonna be lvl 27 after BC & gear, and ill keep a Forti in stash if I need to buff smite vs sorbers.
The gear would be something like Shako w/ 15res +7 str jool, upped HoZ, eni AP 13xx, GreifZ 34/396, Bloodfists, sandstorm or tri resistance rare boots, maras, raven and Bk. Inv would be 9 pcs (cant afford more than clean), PalaT 15/15, anni 10/14 and a mix of ress/fhr scs and life scs. I need 55% ias to reach 6fps with the zerker with lvl 20 fana (35 ias), and Im gonna have 34 from Grief & 10 from Bf, where am i gonna get the last 11%? If i socket the HoZ with a 15ias jool ill be sacrificing resistance, i dought ill be able to afford a 15 ias 15 ress jool, is it worth sacrificing some ress for the last ias BP? Or is 7 fps just fine? Switching to 20ias craft or rare gloves would do the job (my fana gives 37% ias), but then i have to use a lot of FHR scs to reach 46%.
On switch the natural choice is 'Call to arms' Flail or Crystal Sword, with a pala spirit to boost BO. After browsing around on the Arreat Summit a while, i realized that CTA can be placed in any weapon. This opens up some new possibilitys for a V/T. So i was thinking, wouldnt the ultimate V/T switch be, instead of a CTA CS/Flail, a CTA in a 5s Scepter with +3 FoH and if possible +X to conviction paired with a HoZ with a light RBF? This boosts the FoH damage by +1k (more if the scepter has +conviction) without affecting the smite dmg ! This can be done by using other weapons on switch, but with 9pcs, you gotta skip CTA, which means about 1.5k or so less life. CTA gives +1 all skills, so a 3 FoH 3 Conv CTA would be one of the best FoH weapons in the game (dmg wise), the only one I know that is better is 5x5/5 Light RBFs in the same scepter. It could also be paied with a Spirit for better BO, but that would destroy much of the advantage of a FoH CTA. Any thoughts on this?
