[Build Viable?] Templar Lightning Strike Blood Magic Tank build

Hey everyone!

I hope I am in the right forums, the Templar sub-forums seemed more for 'finished' builds ...

I am pretty new to PoE and have been playing around with a few builds since I started.

I am currrently leveling an Oro's Sacrifice/Frost Blade Shadow (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1363311), currently level 38, so nowhere near late game.

The build inspired me to look at the templar for a melee build, since I like the idea of a STR/INT hybrid charakter.

I came up with the following passive tree:

The General Idea:

I wanted a simple tanky melee build with an AoE attack.
Since Templar is very close to a lot of Elemental and especially lightning nodes I chose Lightning Strike as my main attack.
I tried to pick all the life nodes I could easily reach without making detours.
Due to the massive Health Pool I am trying to generate I though Blood Magic might be a great idea to fuel my attacks. (since Mana is an issue on the Frost Blades Build)
After I had Blood Magic and Unwavering Stance, as well as some life nodes to give me over +1k health I went for the Elemental Damage and Lightning Damage nodes.

Gear

Since I am a very new player the only item that I really know to be pretty good is Oro's Sacrifice. And since I only picked nodes to increase elemental or Lightning Damage I thought Oro's might be a very good weapon for this build too.


Lightning Strike

I find this skill a bit complicated. This is how I understood it from the wiki and some threads on this forums I read on the topic:

- You hit the primary target with a melee attack.
- 50% of that damage is physical, 50% Lightning
- of the primary target fork of 3 projectiles
- their damage is based on the actual damage you inflicted on the primary target
- their damage as well is half physical/lightning.
- all +elemental damage effects apply BEFORE all of that. so they are already calculated into the first swing on the primary target
- the projectiles are treated as physical projectiles, and hence benefit from projectile speed, can leech and are affected by Chain, LMP and so forth as any bow skill would (same as Frost Blades)

So from this understanding I thought Oro's would be a great weapon for this, eliminating any phys damage aspect, making me unable to leech but I will have easy access to the +life on hit node in the Marauder area.

Skills

I've only really thought about Lightning Strike so far:

Lightning Strike+ Multistrike + WeD + Chain + Lightning Pen [+ Faster Attacks] (taken from the Frost Blades build)


well, thats my basic thoughts from my noobish perspective. What do you think? will it be OK damage and defense wise? I've only spent 58 points so far so there is some space for improving either aspect of the build.

I hope I picked the right forums and am looking forward for your criticism and advise!!
