Neep Help, I keep dying

So as lv 51 templar, I keep on dying once i get crowded by bunch of mobs or when i'm against any rare or unique bosses. Did i mess up my build somewhere or is my gear bad? Right now i'm using lightning strike as a primary skill

Well, having little to no resistances on gear combined with no defensive skill setup sure isn't helping. Better gear would certainly help. Example of defensive setup would be something like CWDT+Immortal call+enfeeble or temp chains. Keep the level of CWDT around 8 or 9 and the rest of the gems the proper level so that it procs often enough. Self casting Enduring cry can really help also. Fortify is really great too.

Edit: Shoot me a friend invite and when I can I'll see if I can hook you up with some better gear. I'm not very good when it comes to melee builds so I can't help much with the build but I can help with the gear. :) IGN is Shovelcut

1. Get better gear. Max up your resistances and get some life.

Just click "Show search form" and change Item type rom helmet to boots/goves etc. http://poe.trade/search/anarenagonamgo

2. Get this combo:

cast when damage taken (lvl 1) + immortal call (3) + enfeeble (5) +increased duration (lvl max)
3.
Get enduring cry gem and cast it near mob packs
4.
Get Decoy totem. It is great defensive skill. Whan you cast it monster will almost always target it. https://youtu.be/nnaciHGWjVY?t=38s
5. Link faster attacks to Leap slam.
6. Link fortify to leap slam or your main skill
7. You need more life from passive tree. Go to marauder part or to Scion life wheel. Get 5% life nodes in templar and witch part thet you are close to.
8. If you scale your lightning damage it might be good idea to use physical to lightning support gem for lightning strike.

Your resists from gear:

fire: 64 + 17 (passives)-20(cruel) = 61
cold: 118 +17 (passives)-20(cruel) = 75(capped)
lightning: 24 +17 (passives)-20(cruel) = 21
chaos: 20 (passives)-20 (cruel) =

Total armour, since there are no armour passives:710

No wonder you die. Your resists are to low and you have almost no physical mitigation (bleeder and phys-hard hitter will rip you apart).

So it would not be a bad idea to replace some smaller damage nodes with armour inc nodes and get more resists on your gear supported by passives (by replacing or crafting).

Thanks for the advice, so basically i'm running around naked since my defense is low. Also, should I try to aim for iron reflex for more defense?
