Well then, that happened.

i like this build

Lukeh Shadyvale · January 2015

I tried the build when I saw it on YT couple weeks back... I love seeing it in action but you need to be a decent player to play it. I suck at PvP so I'm screwed without my Blazing Spear and Blazing Shield spamming magicka pool!

Major props for an epic build though

I'd probably sub the repentance on the bow bar out for breath of life. Just something about having the same skill on bars seems wasteful, otherwise a very classy build.

I believe the main reason it is there is so the +15% passive bonus to health and stamina regeneration remains active while using the bow. Think of it as analogous to having Inner Light on both bars.

Breath of Life is also very expensive and not all that effective without a magicka build. Blazing Shield is a far, far better use for your magicka.

CRAP now people are gonna think that I copied this guy's build

Mettaricana · January 2015

if they didnt want you to copy it they wouldnt share it

where is this blood magic of which is spoken of... ._.

Probably the best build I've read about on here. Solid option for non-healing, non-blazing shield-spamming, templar PVP.

This isn't a blood knight. This dude just thought to himself "I think I will name this build blood knight."

Never mind the class in question is all fire and light magic. And the skills used have nothing to do with blood. This could be named Poison Knight and have more legitimacy than blood knight.

Naming your build after a item set is a bit ridiculous.

I think the blood portion comes from the thought of repentance. Once you have corpses on the ground, you suck their death essence to replenish your health and stam. Blood may not be the best word but the ability is awesome nonetheless.

Workerdroid7 · January 2015

Well, no matter what the naming of the build, I actually enjoyed reading this one. The whole point of a build is the skills and play style to make it work... not the name?

"Shadow Walker (four pieces, obtained from V12 blue accessory boxes from the Cyrodiil accessory vendor) is the ideal accessory set, providing a good boost to weapon damage and stamina recovery. "

I would like to see where this vendor is. I just used 24800 Alliance points in useless blue plain shadowhide gear. This "ideal armor" you refer to does not exist anywhere in internet and I have not found any Shadow walker vendor. I challenge you to point exactly where this vendor is, what is his name and what exact item must be bought to get this *** armor!!??!!

Thanks to you I just lost 25 0000 APs.

Waiting for reply that I doubt will never appear.

^I dont think you can blame the poster for your loss. Sounds like you should have done more research BEFORE spending 25k AP on blind chance vendor trash.

That being said, I think this is a good build but it is definitely not a prime example of a Templar class build. This is a weapon build demonstrating 2Hand and Bow strengths. Im sure any class can substitute in 3 of their abilities to accomplish much the same thing. It does, however, go to show that even a DPS challenged class like Templars can use the system to find good burst capability with just a bit of creativity.

Thanks for sharing Kristofer.

I saw this build on YT a month or so ago. Though I was already 2Hander spec'd, I decided to give the bow a shot to accompany my 2Handed sword. The gear options is where I actually started to truly learn about the crafting in this game.

I have fought against Kristofer a couple times on the battlefield and he most certainly has a grip on things. He's quite deadly! My first real battle with him came a few nights ago. It didn't help that it was 2am and I was already a zombie... but I did enjoy watching him destroy small numbers.

I have created a similar build only with me being a DK. I think this build works quite well as a DK with Green Dragon Blood as our heal and stam regen built in.

I hope to meet up again and fight sometime only I hope the next time I am more awake and ready!

I am looking forward to when 1.6 hits and Kristofer puts out some updated video footage displaying the greatly increased damage output of Stam builds.

Perhaps the battlefield won't be littered with a bunch of pajama wearing AoE spammers... instead, their corpses will litter the battlefield. haha
