Advice: PVP Templar Build

Baratan

Looking for suggestions for a PVP Templar build for an Imperial post One Tamriel. I'm looking for maximum survival.

Right now I'm running 2/3 Stamina, 1/3 Health wearing Whitestrakes crafted set enchanted with health and using mostly sword & shield skills and am below level 50.

In dungeons I'm pretty indestructible but I'm noticing in Cyrodiil that a bunch of other players are much more durable than me. What's their secret?

That way you can go all stamina and still have 25k health

So go all stamina, what about glyphs?

To be good at PVP you have to have a balance between survivability, resource management, and damage. My suggestions is figure out the minimum requirements to survive somewhat easily. That is usually above 2k crit resistance and probably at least 30k health. The health part is really dependant on how much mitigation you have. I tend to get away with 28k on my vamp magicka templar because of the damage reduction as I get lower health. Being a stam player you will probably be using shuffle so you can take that into account.

After you figure out the method for survivability you throw everything else into damage. After you through everything into damage then back off on the damage until you can get a resource management that fits your play style. This can usually be take care of by adjusting your food and maybe changing a jewelry enchant. Really, it is going to take a while to figure out what you like and what works for you.

You might even have different sets of armor for the same character just depending on what you are doing. I currently carry around three sets of armor and weapons for different situations.

I appreciate the input. Like I said, I'm pretty indestructible in most cases. I just ran Blessed Crucible and Blackheart Haven without needing to be healed by myself or the healer but in Cyrodiil I keep coming across players who can survive for 90+ seconds with 10 people attacking them at the same time. These people don't even look very tough, sometimes no heavy armour and no shield. I'm trying to figure out their secret because I can hold off 1 person forever, 2 forever in most cases and up to 5 for a good while, but not 10 or more for more than a minute and a half.

They're just experienced players.

First thing is that they're probably more experienced. Also, if you're playing in a champion campaign they have some small stat advantages over you if they're champion ranked. There is also the fact that you're not fully geared with optimal traits and enchantments.

This is:

1 a build that only survives, things like Malubeth, that health shield, things like black rose too, can be permablocking or permahealing - basically a paperweight till team mates show up

2 those 10 players are inexperienced and lower level. A properly timed hard CC plus burst dmg plus a few Eots should kill anything, those 10 players should have access to all of the above.

3 you cannot 1v10 561 skilled players, you really just can't (without CE...)

Check out @brrrofski regenator build. Im a sorc and I found his build to be full of juice ideas.
