[Any strong solo Temple Guardian builds around ?.]

 

I made a TG base on a build that was using Deathly Spears and apparently (and according to forum) that build is lame because DS is not strong enough to rely on .   Problem is that I've always wanted to play the TG because he's unlike any of the other classes due to shielding and his 3 arm-ability .   I would greatly appreciate any help to find a strong solo TG build .

Unfortunately I don't know much about the Enhanced Edition.  So there's no option to choose jab?

That's why I'm asking on these forums,  I have no idea why my TG is performing so bad, why his shields drops instantly to elite enemies (which means they're obviously useless against bosses) and why my Deathly Spears are seriously underperforming .  I was told these forums was the place to go for answers and help.

Did you say on deadly spears that you didn't take jab?  That eliminates a lot of hits.

The Enhanced Edition update removed Jab and made the deathly spears increase in hits by default,  which is strange because I don't see multiple hits.  I was hoping that someone could tell me why, or if I simply have to stop using the EE because ... maybe it broke multi-shots on deathly spears ?.

I'm currently using CM+EE updates and I've always wanted to make a guardian because who doesn't want to play a cyber-dog

and kill lots of enemies . So I did some googling and found this build Clicky on these forums, and after getting to L67 in silver,

I see nothing but failiures ..  there's absolutely no damage at all from the spears, and my shield drops almost instantly

when I fight anything stronger than normal enemies - and once the shield pops, im down to spamming healthpotions to stay alive.

 

Another issue I find is that my Deathly Spears doesn't have multiple attacks, despite going for  Gore, Singe, Impale .

"Deathly Spears: Can now strike multiple times by default. Number of jabs per cast scales more quickly. Gold
mod “Jab” (extra strikes) changed to “Impale” (chance for deep wounds)" .  CM+EE changes to JAB .

So in fights , despite having 20+ runes read in Deathly  Spears, it takes forever to kill a single "elite" unit, and even the skeletal liches

and mages will nuke my shields very fast.  So I am starting to wonder if Deathly spears is broken (no extra dmg)  or this build simply doesn't work

after the changes to, and removal of Jab .

 

My Shadow Warrior has no issues dealing with armies of elites and normal mobs.   This TG can't even properly handle a single elite

without having to start chugging healthpotions.
