Ill pass the whole introduction story about why i made this suggestion. If you don't have a clue, type "Templar" in the search and see the long list of complaint topics.
This suggestion is meant to create a new design for the Templar class (or at least a lot of suggestions).
The design is based around the basic concept of a Magic Knight style character. A simple concept with lot of potential and options.
The three skill Trees "Aedric Spear", "Dawn's Wrath" and "Restoring Light" will each serve their own unique purpose. There will be a Combat skill tree, a Utility skill tree and a Support skill tree. For the skill trees i'll stick to the current names, although new names could be optional.
Ill keep the basic layout of 5 skills and 1 ultimate per skill tree, but will often name them "______" as my sense of naming is on par with the current state of the Templars. Some skills will keep their original name, as they function decently or have a decent concept (but could use some changes).
