Dream Mastery - Psionic Touch

A little blue flash will appear whenever it hits. 3 hits to charge up, 1 hit to release the effect.

Plus I'm not even sure DOT effects scale with int...

Yeah...damn...that does suck. Another reason to cry over poison, actually.

ToW is good, but the other Trances are too. I don't use ToW with my Templar atm for example.

I maxxed out both wrath and convalescence with my harbinger, but only used wrath for boss fights on epic, and used it for just about every tough part on legendary. Made a HUGE difference on legendary. I'm surprised you're not using it, but I've never played defense.

I got a Sapros to lower resists, so I don't really need it except for Nate in SP.

I am almost done with Legendary and I use Trance of Convalescence.
Maxed out it's hard to beat 15% of all damage being absorbed.

I just loaded up my harbinger and went to egypt on legendary, and I was doing noticible electrical burn damage. I can't speak to any other kind of DoT damage in legendary, but the electrical burn sticks. Switch to ToW and cast a 1 pt distort with 12 pt temporal rift, and watch the electrical burn do its thing. Trance of Wrath ftw!

Actually all trances are nice -> damage reflection and Damage to health are not to be sneered at either

I use Trance of Empathy exclusivly throughout. it seems to be working great for me.

My level 60 Templar pretty much uses Empathy exclusively. I've built him to be a damage sponge/tank so the 85% damage reflection is great when you wade into mobs. Also, the 3-10% damage into health is surprisingly effective at keeping your HP up, especially when you have Phantom Strike maxxed. Convalescence's +12 health regen just isn't enough to be useful for very long in my opinion, and I'd have plenty of damage reduction abilities as a Templar, so the 15% dmg absorb is kinda useless.
