INTODUCTION
The reason behind this build is to make a viable physical mage that is fun to play. I have decided for a Templar because of physical resistance reduction on Guadians of Empyrion and on Olexra’s Flash Freeze. Build also uses Judgment and freezing enemies with OFF and then Judging them is quite a funny mechanic and clears trash immediately 
For more usable OFF I use Arcane Conduit for it. Although OFF doesn’t work on nemesis, build is very strong against them anyway and it is great against trash and non-nemesis boses. And as a main attack skill Obliteration from Tome of Arcane Wastes is used. Guardians of Empyrion are used as well. For conversions to physical damage Beronath Reforged is used and Gladiator’s Distinction (for devotions). Build does SR 80.
I have other builds using OFF here. I have other laser builds here. All my builds are here.
Here is a list comparing all my laser builds from best to worst. All are at least SR 65-66 capable.
-
Albrecht the Leech – great build, aether AAR, powerful both offensively and defensively (quite tanky)
-
Albrecht the Chaotic – great build, chaos AAR, offensively noticably weaker than Leech, defensively a little weaker than Leech (this one is very tanky but slower)
-
Albrecht the Mental – great build, elemental AAR, offensively a little better than Leech, defensively noticably weaker than Chaotic

SR, CRUCIBLE
I play SR with camera pointed away from enemies and I try my builds only in SR 65-66 and SR 80. I play around 10 SR runs per character.
This build does SR 65 very easily. It can even do SR 80 but it is tougher. Physical hitters are becoming dangerous. Run away from Benny’s crystals and Alex’s meteor. Some enemies are slower to kill. Often in SR you have a mutator that decreases enemy’s CC resistance and with it you can freeze even nemesis. But even without it, it is OK. I use as a movement skill in SR Amatok’s Breath for freezing enemies and applying nice internal trauma damage.
I don’t play Crucible so I don’t have a time number for it.
