honestly i think this matters very little (compared to enchantress) since his dps is pretty crap no matter what.

I just stacked a ton of vitality on him, dmg reduce shield with life %, and some crappy life on hit 500dps weapon. Put vit+res/armor blue rings on him and similarish amulet.

Basically anything i can do to keep him alive to heal me more. him doing 1k dmg instead of 500 is really no big difference so dont spend much on a weapon. his 470 dmg crits are pretty funny tho.

so with the upcoming nerf to ias in the next patch u guys think andy helm is still worth it? also flavor of time. Is it worth to invest in this 2 items now?

Actually I have a plan for my templar. I don't have much gold now but in future I want to stack LoH on him with cold damage weapon (damage doesn't matter), more increased block on relic, more block on shield and tonns of vita/resists. I believe with faster weapon and decent LoH and stacked block/vita/res he will be able not to die and tank elites.

i just stack mf on that bitch to get an extra 10-20% or so =P

There is one easy way for you to fight Rakanot without getting any dmg.
I did it yesterday with my wizz.

U need this:
Familiar - Ancient Guardian makes it so whenever you drop below 35% health it absorbs 1 attack every 6 seconds.
REMOVE ALL ur rege life per sec gear items, then bring ur hp below 35% of ur max ( u can do this just unequiping all ur items and then u put them on again).

u would go to the boss like this (example) 4721/30000 hp, ur hp is never gonna go up cause u have 0 life rege per sec ok ?

then go FULL dps spec, magic weapon with venom, teleport wormhole, storm armor with the thing that makes u run faster on hit (you can also take Force Armor if you dont feel confortable), familiar with ancient guardian ofc, arcane orb with obliteration and ofc VENOM HYDRA !!!
For passive u should go with glasscannon, evocation and critical mass ( in case the hydra or 1 arcane orb crits helps to have ur teleport back earlier)

now to the tactic:
assoon the fight starts he will ofc teleports to u, the hit WONT KILL U cause the familiar will absorb the full hit cause ur all the time below 35% of ur max life, before he hits u u can put hydra and u can just run 25% faster with storm armor or just blink away 1 arcane orb.
IMPORTANT is, NEVER stay close to him otherwise he will summon his minions, just go max range and he will teleport to u again but np, 6 secs after his first teleport ur ancient guardian will absorb ALL THE damage AGAIN !!! and thats how u kill him, if u do 1 mistake staying to close to him then he will summon his minions and then its over...

wizard sucks balls.. cant kite like dh, has lower dmg than dh..
the only thing hes better is he doesnt get 1 shotted- he gets 3shotted.

Consistent dps is nearly the same for both dh and wiz.

Wizards kite just as well.

The one thing I'm really missing playing as a dh right now is energy armor--I never realized how important it was until I tested dh's fragile bones against even the weakest of inferno mobs.

25% Move speed does not compare to spiders

is crit chance + crit dmg useful for this kinda build? sorry if its a dumb question..

How do you guys get past the spider lair, I'm fine until I reach the one elite group in there, then I'm absolutely screwed, I've tried running past them with fracture too and nothing works, I'll try wormhole for them I guess.
