Templar or DK?

PartTimePinsent
I'm looking to make a new character to level when my friend is busy. I've narrowed it down to either a DK or Templar but Im wondering if anyone is able to tell me which is better in the long run :) Also, I plan to get a wearwolf bite so Im wondering if that plays a part in to what I should make because I heard that its stamina based. If I was to make a DK what attributes should I focus on (Health, Magicka, Stamina) and the same for Templar? Really hope someone can help me with this :)

    If you are going to want to pvp a lot I would go sorc or nightblade they are better than dk and templar atm but between the two DK is better imo.

    But comes down to what you find enjoyable my main is a templar and I have tired the other classes but I find my templar more fun to play despite being on the bottom pvp wise.

    Just remember its all about play style I have a v14 sorc that can dominate in pvp but I don't find him enjoyable like I do with my templar.

    Same. Lvling a dk atm though. Nb and sorc playstyle are not my cup of tea. Dk and templar are. To bad they suck now but what are you going to do...

    I have a v4 Sorc and I actually find it hard to kill Templars. Then again Im a Restoration/DPS build which doesnt do the best DPS. So I've decided to make a Templar. Are you able to tell me what I should focus on? Like Magicka, Health, and Stamina? I plan to get a werewolf bite when possible and I heard that it's attacks are stamina based.

    If you're a PvE'er I would roll templar. With a magicka build you can dps, tank, support and heal, only switching some gear around. You can also play stamina for insane dps. So much flexibility in PvE templars and easy to find groups.

    DK is great if you want to tank or do top fire based magicka dps in PvE. But DK's still cant keep an entire group of mongrels alive in PvE, while both tanking the boss, explaining mechanics, raging and healing everyone lol. They also cant heal the group, while using a dps build.

    For PvP I would roll DK. Templars are lacking a bit in PvP right now. Not enough survivability, cc and burst to pull of high end dmg builds. But if you go for survival, you cant kill anything and still die. You can join a raid and heal/beam and stuff, but gets boring fast. DK's are slightly more robust or capable in PvP, but also out-shined by sorc or NB.

    Such a tough decision haha! Damn. I plan on doing both PvE and PvP but mostly PvE. If I do decide to make a DK should I focus on Magicka over Stam/Health?

    Whatever you choose, don't judge templar with their boring jabs and dawn's wrath skills. You can do better than than. :wink:

    and boo PvE :D They are top notch in pve tho

    DK sucks? What game you playing? They are the second strongest pvp class right now.
