Invasion is a hundred times worse than onslaught. Ideally you'll be in maps by the time Ambush starts so you can abuse cartographer chests; four day rush gogo ^_^

I'd disagree. Invasion bosses are pretty beatable with a few exceptions, and you can always run away or reset the instance. The 20% increased atk/cast/move was scary for Onslaught, especially in areas with bursty monsters or a rare with a nasty aura. So easy to get zerged before you van react or get wrecked by desync.

I forgot to tell you guys about this the other day, but it was unfortunate that they patched 1.1.5b in so fast. There was a bug with Matua Tupuna where every time you swapped it back on you would gain the +10% aura bonus, again. Basically meaning with 1 dps aura and discipline you became godmode because you would spam your weapon swap key and get 100000% aura effectiveness essentially becoming invincible and doing infinite damage. It was pretty fun while it lasted.

Hey TL, just started playing this game and I could use some advice with my build

Currently, I'm playing a templar w/ 1h mace/shield. Using searing bond, molten strike and molten shell, with flammability available for tanky mobs. I've specced into avatar of fire, as well as some other things (Mostly life/resist/block). Im doing well in cruel right now, but im kind of lost with where to go with my skills, if i should change anything, and what i should be linking my gems with. My idea was to be tanky with high amounts of AoE damage to farm quickly. Also what I should be prioritizing as far as my armor goes?

Any advice is much appreciated, and if you ever want to play with me, add me on Americas SC as Belfast.
Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't recommend taking Avatar of Fire its generally a dps loss in most scenarios. If you want to link your skill tree we could help you optimize it as well, with what you want to do. Generally Searing Bond is linked to Increased Burning Damage. Molten shell kinda depends what you're using it for, if you're just using it for the extra armor you may want to link it to increased duration, if you're using it with crits you may want to link Increased Crit Damage/Crit Chance or maybe Increased Burning Damage. With Molten Strike you'll want to link any of: Multistrike, Fire Penetration, Faster Attacks, Mana Leech, Life Leech, or Weapon Elemental Damage, depending on your available links your hp sustainability and if you can sustain the mana cost, you just kinda need to see what you have available to you and where your issues are at and play around with it a little bit.

As far as general tips for picking what gear to use, prioritize life and resists, then armor and dps. (Though with a fire caster there aren't a lot of dps mods that you're looking for, mostly just spell damage % or fire damage %, or maybe cast speed.) Molten Strike is generally a weapon based attack, so i'm not sure if you're looking to go more of a fire caster route or just an elemental melee build.

Message one of the guild officers to get an invite to the guild. My in game name is Varanice. There's probably some useful gear for you in the guild stash that you could use as well.
