Its pretty ridiculous the amount of hatred you can get coming into a templar thread.

I dont know anybody who is playing the class now that is not hammering BOL. Theres some dark flare spammers here and there, and that one EP guy who only beams from stealth. This is a result of it being so damn good and everything else paleing in comparison though.

People calling out facts is not "hate". And it's just about the same response that you would get if you would go on any other class' thread and talk about stuff you don't know as well as your own class.
Don't get so defensive.
As for your comment on ppl hammering BoL - you should look to your own faction to see there are a couple of really good Templars who aren't just hammering Dark Deal BoL.

Calling out the facts is not hate? Youre replying to something I said to someone else where he literally said nothing in this thread but I was a hypocrite.
Youre calling me a hypocrite as well for complaining about bad players using reactive. But you said they were zerglings though - even though, they were actually players, using reactive, that werent really any good until the game balance allowed them to throw that on and still have a CP and equip system that allowed them to perform with even more sustain.
I guess this kind of attitude is what you should expect from AD players you beat up on.

1. BoL cost 3k magicka on a build with significant cost reduction. Again, heavy armor and certain sets (desert rose, lich, black rose) are your issue, not the skill. I'd be happy to make BoL a self heal that gives me 6-8k magic back upon cast like dark deal.
2. Meteor is terrible without an unblockable cc (please bring up luminous so I can point out how worthless a disorient is for the 300th time), so I'm stuck running dawnbreaker of smiting unless I want to use the destro ulti cheese.
3. I countered a point that you have harped on for a very long time. Not all templars are BoL spammers just like not all stam users abuse the hell out of proc sets. If that makes me a smartass, then so be it. That's better than being ignorant.

Im not saying every single templar is a BOL spammer. Im saying why they are driven to it and how simplified it is. Ultimately, I dont like healing, and as you said in your first point, its not really a BoL problem - its a problem with equipment + CP. In no CP for example, those heal debuffs actually matter a lot. Without the heavy, sustain will take a hit. Even on non-CP, you can spam BOL hard without running out as well though. Ive advocated for more variety in healing, not what it is. Its really a seperate issue, but Ive become the forefront of healer hatred. When you fight groups larger then yours, the above issues compound into a ridiculous state.
I agree with the shards change being dumb. I use shards too, I also use vamp drain, but you shouldnt have to be a vamp for it. It just so happens vamp works very well with them though!
Ive seen templars 1vX, Im not saying they cant, it is more difficult for them though than other alternatives. Blab had done it plenty, Ive played with others who have. If youre in a small group though on templar, and go offensive with some mix of beam/jabs/jav you will have BOL around and can fill in as a healer. In that case, you have good damage, and well timed BOLs should have high impact. The issue I have is templars that dont invest in that damage really and heal very well without running out of sustain in heavy armor. This is an armor + CP issue. This shines brightest in non-CP campaigns. Reverb actually does something. Its nothing more than a disable on CP campaign.
You stopped making sense.Calling out the facts is not hate? Youre replying to something I said to someone else where he literally said nothing in this thread but I was a hypocrite.

Anyone complaining about nerfed Templars should slot volcanic rune instead and pop those b****** up into the air for your Stamblade mate to ambush Incap while they're mid air it looks delightful.
I love my Magplar, may have been nerfed in places but other buffs such as the disgusting sustain from Radiant Auras new Minor Magicka Steal leaves Templars in a great place still just some minor play style adjustments.
If you're complaining about not being able to 1vsX you need to wake up because 1vsX on Magplar hasnt been viable since they nerfed Proxy Det (God I miss those days of Bat Swarm proxy flare toppling so much)
In fact 1vsX on any Magicka Character is virtually unheard of now Cyrodiil is all about numbers since the introduction of Proc Sets. It can be done but only by the very best and with a need to constantly utilise line of sight immovable potions and careful resource management.
The Blazing Spear nerf is a pain yes but it brings the skill in line with other aoe based class attacks removing the CC and as I mentioned if its the CC you want Volcanic Rune could be your friend.
Long Live Magplars but please nerf Blazing ShieldPlars they are dull as dishwater.
Alright, so magicka templars have never been in the top of the food chain to begin with, which is why it baffles me that you decided to nerf them.
Two of the good abilities that magicka templar had was radiant oppression and blazing spear.
Radiant you decided to nerf for the fifth time. Or was it for the sixth time now? It was in a very good state before and one of the only reliable counter to all the dodge-rolling (which there is way, way too much of nowadays). It wasn't too powerful before, so the damage decrease was completely unwarranted. Why did you change it @ZoS?
Blazing spear was one of the few anti-zerg mechanics in the game, but with the removal of its stun, it is now utter garbage in that regard. And luminous shards doesn't fill the gap properly, so that's not really an excuse. Why change something that was working well, @ZoS?
Basicly you've taken two of the only a handful of good templar abilities and screwed them over - without giving them anything properly good in return. Why @ZoS?
Curious minds want to know - thanks.

There u go! The solution for your problems!
I don't agree with the shard changes but sometimes adapting is the way to go

This is an important point and why some people don't bother with PvP.
I personally respec morphs and CP every time I go from PvE to PvP or vice versa.

A dual spec feature would be nice. Maybe a suscriber perk?

I've rand a nord using it, as well as restoring aura. It's great when you hit a lot of targets but you really have to throw yourself tight into a pretty nasty situation to get there and its gone in a few seconds. Fine pulling trash mobs, but I find in PvP you are just going to have it wear off and be in trouble before you really have done anything.
I'd almost say they could increase the cost and then increase the duration and radius.

I used it as a secondary ult, it goes well with the "stand your ground " playstyle lol shines in tight spots
I feel you should run a offensive ult and defensive one & it's not a bad ult in sticky situations but I do feel they could raise the time

Yeah that's my most recent setup, it all depends on what build I'm running. Just was saying its a good ult & cost little, sometimes you don't have enough time to get an ult that's 150 or 200, for 75 ult it's good for what it does.
As has been said many times radiant needed a range nerf. Even with 21% dmg reduction it is still a death sentence if you are at 20-30% health. People are stil spamming it at full health from 40m away.
Luminous shards still stuns through block.
Templars are still good.

Either jabs and beam or BOL and beam.
