Just wondering what the best way to gear your templar is. Currently I am using a Bul-Katho's ring plus unity for grifts, along with an 80% Ess of Johan. I am using shield of deflection+Azurewrath to get a small chance to freeze, but I don't think I freeze the RG all that often. So I am wondering if there are other choices I could make to make things easier.
Well, the first error I found was that you are wearing a RoRG with all set pieces, but thats not for a templar... But from what I've heard/seen you'll need to give your templar the weapon Eun-Jang-something, but I don't exactly know why. #Helpful

Thanks, I was running T6 bounties, so I didn't really care about anything, other than 6ww+2bk for that. Forgot to swap back to my normal setup - will update to my normal grift setup when I get home from work.
I've got an Eun-jang-do and will try that too, thanks. Will try and roll IAS+CRD on all pieces too.
When I don't use double unity, I use a Justice Lantern to get extra block to proc the shield, but good idea with the Wyrdward, I will try that too - I guess I can just try and reroll damage to lightning on a fast main hand.
Yeah wyrdward + eunjangdo rolled to lightning and ias everywhere possible is great for followers to lock down rg's. IMO use BKWB+wyrdward whenever you want to drop unity because BKWB's dmg aura does proc eunjangdo 100% so it freezes entire packs once they are low and freeze of deflection procs seem incredibly rare (there just isn't any better options for shields) so boosting block chance isn't very effective.
If you need Unity, then go with Unity/Occulus Ring (Occulus can roll double AS). Otherwise I usually prefer Occulus/Wyrmward on my Barb (Wyrmward and BK's Wedding Band on my DH to proc Intimidate). As others have said, stat concerns should be IAS and Cooldown Reduction. 80% Ess of Johan for the neck, can't die for the relic (with block chance) and I like the shield called Freeze of Deflection to give my Templar yet one more way to potentially freeze an enemy above 20%. Weapon should be a Eun-Jang-Do with the cold damage rerolled to Lightning Damage to proc the Wyrmward. Iddeally the Eun-Jang-Do will naturally roll AS but as long as you get AS on both rings and the neck you should be attacking more than fast enough to keep anything locked down sub 20%.
While we're at it. Is the templar even the best follower for 6WW/4IK? I saw DutchFreak using the enchantress, presumably to reach a higher breakpoint? What about the scoundrel and his skills that increase crit chance or dps? I guess if not for the crowd control, then the only benefits for the Templar are the heals and increased resource regen. Both of which are not amazing.
Ok, so which combinations of rings will be BiS with Eun Jang Do? (May reroll to LIGHTNING damage)
Bul Kathos Wedding - will have aura that will freeze at 20% health, so a bit of CC
Wyrdard: Reroll EJD to Lightning, this will have a chance of STUN
Oculus Ring: Can reroll to 16% Increase Attack Speed
Justice Lantern: Rolls 16% block for Freeze of Deflection shield, can also have a Increase Attack Speed roll
I would seriously recommend that setup that I put into there. It's similar to what MHM posted on his channel, but I use the Dovu Energy Trap for the neck. I can pretty much stun-/freeze-lock the RG once they hit 17% life with my Eu-Jang roll.

Hi
I am trying to push my max Grift at the moment with a 6WW/4IK build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/andersx-2898/hero/13721178

what? i have perma wotb with bk weapons.
get a lightning damage eun dagger with ias. wyrdwyrd ring. ess of johan ammy. shield does not matter. other ring is variable.

Weapon = Eu-jang-do rereolled to lightning
Shield = Freeze of Deflection with IAS or block
Neck = Dovu Energy Trap for additional CC or Ess of Johan for the pull
Rings = Wydward + Oculus with double IAS
Relic = No die relic
Maximize your attack speed on rings and neck to ensure your templar is attacking as often as possible.
Also, roll +Block on your templar's relic to increase his chance to freeze with his shield.

If a templar benefits from cdr, why doesn't it show up as a stat in his "details?"
Thanks for the suggestions! Managed to clear 48 with this setup: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/andersx-2898/hero/13721178

I swear I heard the damage from Bul Kathos ring was nerfed.
How the hell do I delete my comment??? Don't want to edit! lol

It was. Now it is something like 2000% Weapon Damage. No more % of the mob's/RG's HP points.
