Did you forget templar change???

Cast_El · January 29

Hi @ZOS_GinaBruno,
Did you forget templar changes in the description ? Or this class will stay dead as it is since U35?

Leia98 · January 29

lol thought the same, seems like zos has given up on the templar class, such a shame

Icy_Waffles · January 29

That was incredibly surprising I will say.

Leia98 · January 29

@ZOS_GinaBruno literally, what about the tweaks that templar class needs? Im hoping you forgot to include the templar changes for some reason

Synozeer · January 29

Guess I won't be renewing my sub again.

LukosCreyden · January 29

pretty crazy that templar was completely omitted from the patch notes.
That dubious honor goes to the necromancers! Instead, Templar has vanished and necro got an... "interesting" change to blastbones.

These particular patch notes are very weird lol.

KlauthWarthog · January 29

It is funny, I opened the patch notes with extremely low expectations, and they still managed to disappoint me.

mmtaniac · January 29

Classic patch notes. Templar ignored.

Leia98 · January 29

a pretty good jab at your templar players i must say, good game zos

Tyrant_Tim · January 29

Okay, so this is the second patch in a row where we’ve had weeks without even a line of changes for Templar.

There has to be something massive Week 2 or 3 because there are so many skills and morphs that desperately need a rework.

I also didn’t see anywhere that Sun Shield and the Crusader set had their animations fixed.

ssewallb14_ESO · January 29

They deleted the one good option Templar tanks had for control from the game, along with the entire Tormentor playstyle.

That's your Templar change.

I suppose I'll just have to buy the new chapter so I can craft a control spell. And play my Warden tank instead for 6 months because I can't be bothered to deal with group finder pugs running around the room without any control.

Seriously ZoS I'm getting tired... It's been 10 years and this patch is just generally worse than the last one. I wish they'd just leave the combat alone.

Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO · January 29

There's a templar class in this game?

VinnyGambini · January 29

Was Just going to post the same thing. Did Templar really get left out in the cold? With no Improvements?? This cannot be...

Cast_El · January 29

And NB got buffed,like always. What a joke. And they fixed master dual wield but not the other cancer sets

jcasini222ub17_ESO · January 29

Since release to this year I’ve been nearly exclusively Templar(WW no less). Save for some dk for the first few months.

Made a sorc and nb this year, ZoS finally broke this templars will.

Beavisaur13 · January 29

Overcharged buff, is a direct buff for templars. How much remains to be seen/tested.

VaxtinTheWolf · January 29

R.I.P Templar Tormentors. Instead, ZOS Torments you.

If talking about CW, all the damage boost will only buff the skill itself nerfing overall DPS

virtus753 · January 29

@ZOS_Kevin Please add a Templar section, if only to include the currently missing patch note that Radiant Nightlight got its shield back.

Still also missing further bugfixes:

-Corpses that are unusable still glow when Repentance/Radiant Aura is slotted, even though the skill is greyed out because it can't be used. This has been going on for multiple updates in a row and is at least the third time this bug will need to be fixed after having been fixed in previous years only to keep recurring.

-Cruel Flurry doesn't work properly with Radiant Destruction. Radiant Destruction's tooltip is wholly buffed by Cruel Flurry but only the last of its three ticks is actually increased in damage, resulting in only 1/3 the power budget of the set being applied.

I'm sure there are others, but those were quick to test.

James-Wayne · January 29

No class changes directly but they did massively nerfs the toppling charge ability by changing Tormentor set, my entire tank build wiped in one foul swift, sad day.

I guess we have AOE taunt coming with scribing so makes sense but could have waited to chapter update.

Oh and my Inner Beast got nerfed....

xDeusEJRx · January 29

Don't worry, Templar is getting it's well needed Radiant destruction buff in the next patch notes. Rejoice Templar mains

virtus753 · January 29

Also: the heal on Radiant Glory has been raised from 17% to 18%. Neither the change from 20% --> 17% nor the change from 17% to 18% was in the relevant notes.

Spearblade · January 29

Yeah, I wasn't expecting much, but...woof. At least fix the NON EXISTENT ANIMATION ON RADIANT WARD/SUN SHIELD.

sneakymitchell · January 30

Templar seems good on the spot. A lot of different buffs for itself easily. Some decent heals. Yes no good self burst heal but we got vigor and sets to help out. There is always one thing a class misses but it can be adjusted by using a different skill. Don’t forget this year will bring more new skills to the table. Reason why they wanted status effects to be more different cause how some can be the same while others can take effect already by another skill.

I’m interested to see how the new skills will be and play on my Templar.

At least you get a heal on the impact of the damage. Like having dragon star S&S set, but more better heal

Tyrant_Tim · January 30

So, after hopping on the PTS today I can confirm that they fixed the animation to Sun Shield, but insisted that the word “Templar” not be used in Week 1, not even to reference a bug fix.

That being said, the whole skill needs a rework so if they took the time to put the animation back on it, they are more than likely leaving it useless.

That was done. What they didn't do was note it.

RedBranch · January 30

Indirect impact to templars, but still odd to be left out of the notes… I kept scrolling up and down.

WAT?

Minno · January 30

I guess it depends on secondary buffs to templar. I need to download and play ESO again (wow classic has me busy lol).
Reading the patch notes quickly I noticed:
- overcharged (assuming templar dmg includes this). buffed by 106% and gives 65 mag on activate now. But necro uses this too.
- major defile now includes shields. Though this only applies if you are crazy enough to use dark flare and if you consider gaining 12% dmg shield reduction a decent buff while taking 6% less healing debuff

Most of the classes could use a really hard audit against a class identity template, IMHO. Access to things is a little TOO high to create a colorful landscape of game mechanics. Or if they had the data, just put out ESO classic using the 2014 designs and let us just play DAoC 2.0 all over again :P.
