So I just recently made my first char, currently at level 32, but as most noobs, I didnt do too much research into builds prior to starting to play and more or less free styled it. My problem now is that Iv done a bunch of research it seems that the best templar 1h/shield tank is an LS build, bujt my currently build looks more or less nothing like any of the guides.

Here is my build .. More or less just built what I thought was tanky, but I think the problem will be little or no damage.. Is this salvageable or is it worth just starting over?

Thanks.

any character is salvagable, except bandits quests. Did you take the +life? If not, then you need to restart (unless you're some funky es temp). if you did, then you're good to go

but yeah, your build is junk, so you can either blow 300fg on regrets, or just start over

Haha, thanks for the input guys. Looks like Ill be starting over.

I don't see it as that bad. It's leaning toward a physical build but there's nothing wrong with that. Taking some shield block % and def nodes along with % accuracy isn't terrible if you're not going resolute technique.
