Templar Wishlist

notyuu

This wish list of changes to Templar isn't going to cover all of the skills/passives, just the ones that need some love.

is the list perfect? no, I'm no game desinger, and odds are the changes would most likely be on the strong side, but templar needs a bit of a kick in the pants

Fixed burning light to be almost half as good as it was pre-U35 rather than the lumpy mess it is atm.
Gave Sunfire an actual use outside of "minor sorc proc"
Brought back the good backlash version that was usful.
Toned down the beam, cuz, well, gawd DAMN it's way too strong
Made Restoring Aura functional as a support tool
Made RoR into a tool that helps tankplar.
Changed rune focus from a kinda sustain kinda healy kinda...eh tool, into an actual foundation of the templar's "house"
Updated Master Ritualist to be not outdated to the extreme.

Id be thrilled with any and all of these skill changes, except sun shield. But thats only because I have no idea what sun shield does anymore, because its been a dead skill outshined by even the light armor shield since I started playing ESO.

Good news is that you do not touch Blazing Spear.

Bad news is the range nerf to Beam. It's perfect as is for PvE. If PvPers don't like it, that's what battle spirit is supposed to be for, right?

Jabs remains dead without a serious damage boost, leaving the above two skills as the only templar damage skills worth slotting on my PvE OakenMagPlar.

I'd be happy if jabs just regained their original animation.
