What will happen to Templars with the patch? Place your bets!

Zinaroth

There has been a lot of complaints about Templars lately with how they are not up to par with other classes when it comes to DPSing or Tanking in PvE, or dueling (1v1) and open world (1vX) when it comes to PvP. People playing Templars are tired of relying on being in groups to perform well. Especially Stamina Templars are currently shafted due to them not having many of the inherent advantages that comes with being a Templar. Their passives have also been criticized a lot as not measuring up to the other classes. Alongside all this comes the countless bugs with both active skills and class passives.

The questions now remain; what will ZOS do about it, and what do you think will happen?

Place your bets and cast your opinion below!

ZOS will not aknowledge any of the Templar issue, they will nerf Breath of Life to appease the QQ crowd and call it a day!

how about ZOS will aknowledge Templars have issues ... try to fix them ... totally fail ... and accidently delete the class from the game?

ZOS will aknowledge some of the Templar issues, they will try to fix the bugs but fail, nothing will be buffed!

Try to fix toppling charge and call it a day

Tbh i kinda expect big changes to be moved to the Q2 patch
however, once changed i suspect that we'll get a new OP ability and TONS of trash otherwise.
The OP ability will be subject to QQ, many bugs, exploits and eventually be fixed - leaving the templar pretty week.

I guess the magicka templar playstyle will not change too much (maybe get stronger combos) and mostly rely on spamming certain skilsl for certain situations. Stamina may be VERY interesting though. Sadly, my high rank char is a breton and thus I'll probably stick to my sorc or nb until there's race change + stamplar buffs.

That said, maybe the magicka tempalr will actually be strong, but I have a hard time seeing how it should become a class for fast paced combat with a high skill dependence. As-is, there is so little to time/combo/dodge/blink, that I became kinda frustrated. The most skill-based thing seems to be playing in a group (of 2 or 20) and having good positioning / kiting around rocks while spamming BoL and weaving in some other ability like purifying ritual or focus ever now and then
Everything else is choosing a good build with nice defence and still very high utility.

Meanwhile sorcs and (especially magicka) NBs can port around the battlefiel, keep any many buffs and time several hard hitting ability to hit at the same time

Hmm, I sound somewhat bitter about mag templars...

Good luck brother templars, fingers crossed!

Yep could be the last few days I even bother taking my Templar in PvP

I'll be optimistic here.

Hopefully this. They have read the Templar issues thread, at least done that.

My prediction: breath of life nerf, purifying ritual nerf, jabs still don't do proper dmg to shields, toppling charge still bugged. But they will fix radiant destruction applying proper damage and dawns wrath enduring rays passive no longer reduces DPS of certain skills. Anything better than this will be a pleasant surprise.

ESO will try to fix a bug, which nobody except an intern at ESO (who comes in on Wednesdays) even knew existed, that caused Solar Barrage to do slightly more damage than intended.

Instead sorcs' hardened ward will be broken such that sorcs will not be able to cast hardened ward when trying to stack more than six shields.

The fix will be reverted within three hours via a hotfix.

The hotfix will cause focus charge targets to bug out instead of the charging templar to bug out.

Templars will rejoice.

Within four days all current nightblades will have reached V16 on their new templar mains.

I fear, they nerf templar healing so we are equally good bad in everything

tengri

This poll is missing the most likely option: Z will break two more templar skills and leave it at that for at least another year.

#KeepYourHopesUp

Oh, wait...

• Casting jabs now have a chance to lock all your abilities (as Toppling charge does currently)
• Breath of Life, in an attempt to add line of sight check, will often fail to heal someone next to you, even if only 2 meters away
• Backslash will now heal your opponent (in an attempt to buff the ability) if you invest in the increased duration passive

Templars are pretty op in bwb with blaze shield or jab spams.

olsborg

ZOS will fully aknowledge the Templar issues, the bugs will be fixed, certain skills will be buffed, but they won't help Stamina Templars!

Honestly tho, ive fought some stamplars, and they rly dont need a buff.

dsalter

ZOS will fully aknowledge the Templar issues, the bugs will be fixed, certain skills will be buffed, and the Stamina Templars will get a much needed lift!

i say over fixed.

Zos will Change all of Templars Morphs into Health morph so every time you use a Templar ability you lose health.Just because ZOS hate Templars.

"The delay on taking an action after toppling charge has now been increased to 5 seconds, we heard some of you guys saying you weren't noticing it . Also added "50% chance to be stunned yourself and unable to use any skills till you die" to the skills tooltip as this is now an intended feature".

Did you spend the last year in cryostasis or something ? That already happened

NewBlacksmurf

If youre suggesting the base game patch with the next DLC.....I believe we will all see on the next eso lives....speculations.

Class balancing so good stuff for Templars is my speculations

If you haven't noticed, for the history of the Elder Scrolls Online, ZOS has taken several *** on the Templar. I have no doubt that they will take another.

I just hope to see magicka Templars get some more interesting skills to make it more fun to play. I hate the whole concept of channeling, and the Templar is king of that. They channel and they are SLOW. Unfortunately the Templar was my first to hit VR16, what a waste.

I now LOVE my magicka sorc and magicka NB.

My prediction;

There will be complaining.
