Puncturing Sweeps on Templar does proc the shield on you. So yes, can be used quite reliably, as you get 4 chances to proc it every 1.1s. Unless having a shield happen while you are dealing damage is a bad thing? Works very well when pairs with Iceheart.
So head+shoulder: Iceheart (Light/Medium)
Jewelry+Belt/Glove: Combat Physician (Light)
Chest: Heavy
mix and match rest to your preferences, since you'll be doing a 5/2/4 setup with those sets. But your critical damage/heals from sweeps will have 20% chance for Iceheart shield/dot aura+chance for shield from combat physician.
Makes a pretty decent combination. Throw in Julianos for the hell of it.
Sweeps doesn't Proc the Damage Shield...
I wish it did, but it doesnt...
It does indeed self-proc it. I've utilized it many times, with it being the only shield on my bar at all (1x iceheart, 5x combat, 5x seducers).
Critical hits/heals and has to actually heal -- if you are at full hp it won't do anything. I use it a lot for giggles when solo-farming a vet dungeon or when I want a lazy skyreach farm.
All of the "ally" sets can actually self-proc, which is one of the thing that makes the damage/heal proc sets so good on a magplar -- because Puncturing sweeps does both.
