Path of Exile

[MonTy]

I had thought about trying to make an elemental Bow Templar, but that's going to take some serious gear I think.

I don't think it's that bad to gear if you go Elemental Rain of Arrows, which is perfect for the Templar. He has the Amplify/+AoE and Catalyse passives right there, and quick access to Static Blows and Inner Force. Most of your damage will come from Elemental Sources, so Inner Force will boost damage from Wrath, Anger, and Hatred. Here's a passive tree I just drew up. You'll need Dex badly with this char, which is why I like to zoom over to the Ranger side ASAP (before Innfer Force/Static Blows).
