Would this kind of build work for group PvP?

Auber · November 2014

Here is the general outline of the build I'm going for. The main idea would be to provide suppressive damage by laying down AoEs, while also picking off any vulnerable targets I see. The second bar is mainly for when I find myself being targeted. I'm rather new to the game, so any advice would be appreciated.

I think you would do alright. Decent survivability and can do some nice range damage. One thing I might do as you seem ranged focused is put the knock backs on the up close bar to aid in keeping your distance. Also might consider using group heals the Templar has to help the group survivability more.

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely give those things a try once I actualize the build.

1) Weapon swap is clumsy at best, at worst not possible at all, so putting all attacks on one bar and all life-saving skills on another is not to be recommended.
2) Total of 5 attack skills is imo overkill, besides you can not optimize for both magicka and stamina skill cost/recovery (you also can not recover magicka through heavy attacks without staff). You could easily throw out one of Blazing Spear/Scorched Earth and Venom Arrow/Binding Javelin.
3) Definitely put on either Purge or Purifying Ritual to remove debuffs.
4) Ulties kinda overlap, you could use either to buff a group, but you can not use both. So there I would instead slot some attack, e.g. Soul Assault.

Some skills seem to me dubious, but I don't know, may work.

As for heals, with current healing debuff stacking, one is better off with damage shields. For a group you might consider Undaunted Bone Shield.
