Hey, I’ve been playing an Altmer Templar Tank since the closed beta and have been thinking about/weaving my way into this build for awhile. I think this is one of the best builds for templar tank modality, but there are certainly other good builds out there! Please critique and inquire–I am always looking for ways to make this build better.
This is a PvE focused build! Although, the healing taken may have it’s benefits with PvP… i haven’t explored any PvP alterations of this build.
This is a Templar tanking build I’ve been working on for a few weeks. For lack of a better name I’m calling it The DinoDefense.
The DinoDefense build is oriented around easing the Healer’s job, Damage Mitigation, and Magicka regeneration.
Where has/is this build been/applicable?
-All Veteran Dungeons
-HRC (&HRC HM)
-AA (&AA HM)
-SO
-Normal DSA

Absorb Magicka
Restoring Focus
Blazing Shield (Silver Leash if Chains are needed)
Radiant Aura
ULT = Empowering Sweep
Bar 2

Blinding Flashes
Order: Taunt; Light Attack; Restoring Focus; Light attack; Radiant Aura; Light attack; Blazing Spears; light attack; Ring of Preservation; Light attack; *Blinding Flashes; Repeat as needed.
The key is to not go too quickly with your rotation otherwise you will burn through your Magicka pool. taking time to ensure taunts are re-applied should be adequate time to restore magicka–unless you are using inner beast. If that is the case, CUT OUT ALL DPS SPELLS, focus on keeping Resto Focus, Radiant Aura, & ring of Pres up.
*— use only in tight situations or as needed. Does not affect large mobs.
Alternate Heavy mitigation Bar 2
Inner Beast
Ring of Preservation
Breath of Life
Unstoppable
Bone Shield
