This guide is for V/T builds between 65 - 70 strength.

Stats

Strength: Enough to wear your gear. (You can also use one 5+ strength large charm to reach 70 strength for gothic plate builds.)
Dexterity: Enough for Max Block on both swap sides, remember to calculate Holy shield.
Vitality: All remaining stat points.
Energy: None.

Build(s)

Vindicator Templar is a hybrid class that focuses on using Smite, Fist of Heavens and different auras. Mainly a support class.
V/T has two different types of builds that revolved around their main weapon. One is the Flail and the other one is the Scepter.
In most cases sol runes are socketed in the shield, helm, and armor. It is common for vt's to opt for 20% ed +stat jewels for more damage.

Swap Side 2


Skill distribution
Only one point may be skilled into Prayer and Cleanse.



Keys

Here are the keys I use, to some this may not work and to others it may be a start. To each their own.



Inventory

You're inventory will consist mostly of 15 life 12 mana small charms (30x) or any thing close to that and a few 15 life +resistance small charms (10x mix) for vs conviction and cold sorceress.
You want to end up with around 1.1k hp and around 600 mana. As a vt , you depend alot on mobility from charge so having a decent mana pool helps tremendously.

Gear

For gear there are many different combinations of upgrades you can choose from. Pick from what you can afford and upgrade when possible.

You should point out a 2/3/3 foh scepter can spawn replenish life as a suffix and deals most possible foh damage. This to me seems better than honor.

I also didnt see a mention in specific scepters like a Hawk Branded War Scepter of Amp, 2os, where you will need 10 ias on gloves. This is the most possible smite damage as well afaik.

Also, pcrown isnt a bad choice when you don't need the Sol'd circlet. Mana, Life, frw, rep life, and skills. Can pskull this for tvt when there isnt a use for 14 DR.

E/

Overall, nice guide. Could definitely go into more details about gear/weapon choices.

Inb4 people troll.

i tend to hotkey all of my actions on one row (A, S, D, F) and their corresponding auras on the keys below (Z, X, C, V)

I believe I hate Charge/medi on A/Z, Zeal/Hshock on S/X, Foh/Conv on D/C, etc.

and i have char screen and skills on Q and E for c/t'ing, even tho i blow at it.

I like your gfx

But no listing for 103 strength/3/xx/15 sc options so you have a chance of killing a zon?

I'm glad you brought this up. Regarding 103 str build for lets say divine along with a good pair of 3/xx/15, imo would be for a c/t. Which btw I'll also be making a separate guide for.
