[3.10] Sovyn's Lazy Pally - Tanky Templar with Max Block

He should be fairly easy. Are you using blade flurry and attacking from range? If not, please try watching for a smash animation and use your movement skill such as whirling blades or shield charge to get out of the way, then back to finish him. This mechanic is common to a lot of bosses in PoE.

OK, I have to admit I'm somewhat embarassed.... I was using Infernal Blow still... My only defense is I had only just gained access to Siosa so I had only recently had access to Blade Flurry. I swapped out and readjusted my skills and you are right, it was a cakewalk.

It's amazing how much more smoothly it's playing with that change and actually setting up a movement skill, it's like a whole other game now.

Thank you!

Can the helmet be changed to Devoto's in this build and the chest to carcas coat? or would that be sacrificing to much defence?

Or this: Incandescent Heart? but that might lower the restances

I'd like to work Crimson Dance, Bloodletting and Dirty Techniques into the build. Just need to come up with another 15 skill points.

Any thoughts/suggestions on what in the current tree could be delayed/skipped for this?

You can always check out the level 70 or 80 skill tree as I tried to get the most important stuff first.

However, generally speaking, you would be better off grabbing damage nodes along the path already taken as I did. Tangents for a damage node are generally worse overall.

We do need more life than 65 total from helm and chest. Unless you get a 6-link carcass jack, bringer of rain is better and far cheaper.

No problem...

A lot of the melee skills date back to a different game really. I'm sure they will be modernized eventually, but that's why I have certain recommendations.

Unless your chaos resist is good, I wouldn't go that way.

"25% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage"

If you somehow get good chaos resist gear in every other slot, and a 6-link version of this chest, it would be good with aegis.

Im going to try and make this build work with Glacial hammer! with a massive chance to freeze as an extra layer of defense at a 50% chance standing at 23 hopefully it works! thanks for the awesome guide

Yep, it'll work as well as glacial hammer can, at least. Best of luck!

I mean glacial hammer got a huge buff. It now culls at 1/3 health and can convert 100% into cold damage. Im just hoping it has enough damage end game to do something

Inquisitor can't hurt for sure. Also, try doryani's catalyst for your weapon.

If the damage feels bad, try getting the damage nodes first from my tree than the block nodes later. You would of course be trading block for freeze for your defenses, so I wouldn't say the build would be tankier, maybe worse on bosses because you have to facetank them.
