Level 98 Vaal Earthquake Templar^3.25

Notes

This is not a guide, this is my stream of consciousness

Fix dex idiot

Probably will want a Soul Ripper at some point to get the train rolling, until then just kill 1 pack and then enjoy almost free Vaal EQ (will cost 3 souls or something)

Using Frozen Legion 5/6L to supplement damage before gear and tree is set up, maybe even need to look at Shockwave too?

Glimpse of Chaos lowers ele res AND chaos res so kind of hard to gear for, probably have to take +3 vaal skills as last lab even though its only 12% more damage or something.
I think late-r endgame it is way better though, can push 12k life with it + Kaom's

Should get decent shocks on bosses, half the Aftershock average damage is lightning

Might want Legacy of Fury to make clear even better, it doesn't do a lot damage wise though. Fire mastery explode would be cool too but would have to shuffle points around for it

Before Sublime Vision using Hatred instead of HoP with more Mana investment on the tree(12% mastery for 3 points). Gives more damage+Freeze

Technically missing 10% conversion but also kind of irrelevant + means can use phys attack leech on jewels / rings (getting generic attack leech / elemental leech is awkward)
doryani's lesson, vitality watcher's, lethal pride, and tattoo kind of all that's available for elemental leech since using unique gloves( no eldritch implicit) and rare helmet(no corruption implicit)
Don't need Mana Leech because taking Impure Blood in Merc Lab, but will somehow need it later(jewel?) to sustain tincture

Get small amount of flat ES somewhere(rings, amulet) and then get 1 or 2 ES on hit jewels(just depends on max ES) to proc Everlasting Sacrifice for +5 max res

If Infernal Cry feels good then maybe worth investing 3 points in Deep Breaths

Can get fortify from tree and then later either overlord cluster or corrupted Marohi Erqi(best in slot corruption)

Can get intimidate from rage mastery before getting woke gems.

Maybe consider increased duration for phase run

Have Oriath's End / Kaom's Command option to make clear go through the roof. Should already be good with current aoe on Vaal EQ + Herald of Ash + low cooldown huge aoe Infernal Cry

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build cons: 

Getting Endurance Charges from Enduring Cry, kind of sad but what can you do. On kill somewhere would be so nice for mapping. Can get from lethal pride

Not a lot of physical mitigation, just a big pool.

Don't have instant leech because not near good leech nodes on the tree

Not stun immune because not that close to Unwavering Stance

No culling strike and can't link cull support to infernal cry because Vaal EQ can't exert and who wants to use normal EQ on a boss when you have 0.5 attacks per second
