Currently I have:

What else should I go after in these skill lines? And if any what passive abilities from those lines?


My other two attacks I have equip are Ransack and Deep Slash

I have found this site very helpful in mapping out my characters. Hope it helps.

Thanks for posting that but I'm on my phone and the pages doesn't seem to be posting properly for me for some reason




So far I have distributed my Attribute points as followed


Magicka: 3

Health: 5

Stamina: 7


I'm an Imperial, should I keep rolling with my scale I have them at?

For leveling, keep Puncturing Sweep in slot one, then put whatever else you you want to level in slot 2-5. Puncturing Sweep alone will let you handle just about anything.

You will have plenty of skill points to spread around the higher level you get, so don't worry about "wasting" them. Get all the passives too, as soon as they come up as is possible.

If you are going magicka based build, stop putting points into stamina and focus on a split between health and magicka. Find yourself a destruction staff (fire usually preferred) and level that set of skills also. Don't forget about Mages Guild line also. Very good stuff in there.

I wasn't going for a full Magicka base build I like to use one handed and a shield, is it a waste if I basically mix all my stuff? The only magicka stuff I want it something from those lines and maybe a heal on self thing lol

In my short experience thus far I have found that templars are magic and stamina heavy. I would say, since your an imperial, you should stick with that scaling. With just a bit more in magic. I have my templar set up to six points in magic, four in health, and five in stamina. I have an orc, however, so I can get away with less investment in health due to passives. Hope this helps.

So far I've been playing as a Templar with sword and shield also. I wish I put more points into Magicka. I'll use Aedric Spear's Piercing Javelin and Dawn's Wrath's Reflective Light abilities from a distance then close in with Shield Charge from the Sword and Shield line before using Puncture or some morph of it.

You can play how you want, but for effective leveling put all your points and enchants into magicka, and use puncturing sweep from lvl 1-50 it's great single target, aoe and it heals you based on how much damage you do. For Passives, the aim is to get all of them in each of your three class trees, but the strongest Passives for Templars are in the aedric spear tree. Burning light gives you a chance for extra damage on every aedric spear hit, and biting jabs/puncturing sweep hit everyone in range 4 times, so you have 4 chances on every mob to proc burning light. Also you get extra damage on your crits and extra damage to blocking targets. One if the other really good Passives is in dawn wrath it's called illuminate and it gives a % increase to your spell damage and everyone else who is near you.

So I can always just redistribution my Abaility and Skill points in the future for coin correct? If I do mess up and realize I wanna play a different way haha

Sort of. Remember, if you have an undeveloped Skill Line you won't actually be able to put Skill Points in until you progress a bit. Each active and passive ability beyond the introductory tiers will require a certain Skill Rank to unlock access.

I'm currently V3 Magika based with sword & board and it works fine

All my points have gone into health, get a set of warlock gear (normally quite cheap starting at lvl 10 i think) and you won't have any magika issues.

Only really use stamina for gap closing and never run out

Add 2 pieces of heavy armour for a great solo build

OakRaiders228

So using heavy armor isn't a good choice for me? I have already put some skill points into that line

Imdrefan

Nothing wrong with heavy armor, it adds to your survivability, but while leveling it's almost all about how much damage you do. 5 light armor with the Passives will add good damage.

kyrowski

That's okay, personally I put points into all the heavy armour passives that don't require 5 pieces.

You just need to find a way that suits you.

There are plenty of strategies but using 5 warlock pieces (head, shoulder, neck, ring, ring) 2 Heavy (chest & legs) and the rest light (seducer inc weapon) helps with magicka regen suits the way I play. It's probably not optimal but I like magicka and didn't want to go destruction staff as I already have a sorc playing that way.

TigOldBitties

this has been helpful thank you guys. playin an orc templar lvl 13 now. all pts in magicka, playing aurora javelin, puncturing sweep, and healing with honor the dead and ritual of rebirth. radial sweep as an ultimate. i think i may switch frm 2h to destruction staff by what you guys said...would rather focus on dps than heals at this point

TigOldBitties

also will try some warlock pieces as well

OakRaiders228

So my Attribute Skill points have gone like this since this thread


Magicka: 7

Health: 5

Stamina: 7


My Abaility bar is still about the same

Puncturing Sweep

Deep Slash

Ransack

Solar Flare

Sun Fire

Ultimate is Radial Sweep



Would you guys recommend morphing Sun Fire to Vampires Bane or Reflective Light?


And should I replace any of those items on that bar for a different move from either the Aedric Spear or Dawns Wrath skill line?



Thanks a lot guys for all this info lol

OakRaiders228

Orrrrr do I finally go after something in my Restoring Light line haha

kyrowski

I'd put a gap closer in there too. Personally I use the sword & board version rather than the Templar one to save on Magicka use (plus Templar skill was a bit buggy when I was leveling).

I went with reflective light for attacking multiple targets - it has quite a good range and you can often get 3 or 4 hits in before they reach you
