Returning to ESO after a long break, I had a lot of re-learning and stuff to get used to myself. Honestly, I'd suggest watching youtube videos of people playing y our class, and succeeding. And then getting ideas from it. If someone is playing the same class I am, and they utterly obliterate me, I will often also send them a tell and chat with them for a bit and pick their brain for ideas. I've found most players are more than willing to share their success with you, and help you get better. I can say this 100%, if you are trying to play a stamina character... get ready to roll dodge a lot. Go for + stam recovery gear, because as soon as you're out of stamina, you are dead as well. Magika seems to be less bursty, but far more forgiving generally. When I returned, I burned about 300k gold on a full set of pure + weapon power and dps gear in general.. and quickly found I sucked, since I'd run out of stamina almost immediately and die. Don't make that mistake. Take your time, plan out a build, and then go from there.

A) you are a templar. Was always a hard class to play with and 1.6 has not been kind to the class
B ) you are vr5. Some vr5's are deffinetely well hard. Most are free ap.

Are you a magicka build or stamina build? I can tell you this much: dont perma block if you are not built to do so. Only block incoming stun attacks. If you are constabtly getting stunned: set of the arena is always nice if you can get someone to craft it for you.

But to give real advice we are going to need more info on your build/playstyle. Stam or magicka? Full light/medium/heavy armor? Or a mix?

What do you want to do? Dps? Heal? Tank? Solo or group play?

Edit for future trolls: the guy wants help. Dont troll him like Ive seen so many times on the forums lately :P

Thanks for the reply.

I did have attributes mixed between health, stam and magika but re-did them because I wasnt putting out enough damage. But the change to magika/health only 33/12 didnt seem to make much difference.

I am a templer currently using 5 light and 2 heavy, I am resto/desto at the moment but switched recently from sword and board which I was using because I was getting one shot a lot.

To each his own.

Skills are:
Vampires bane (switch from other morph to try and up single person dps)
Dark flare (as it seems to be the hardest hitting templar magic skill that isnt an execute)
Destructive read (added to try and keep people away from me)
Structured entropy (for the health and dps buff)
Sub shield (for obvious reasons and it is cheaper than spamming breath of life)
Ultimate: Solar disturbance (seems pointless as people can get out of it but dont have mages guild up to 10 yet)

Second bar:
Radiant opression (execute)
Cleansing ritual (to try and get debuffs off and cleanse)
Weakness to elements (trying it for debuffs)
Structured entropy (same reason as above)
Breath of life (self heals)
Remembrance (group heals)

You are using two destro then? You have destro skills on both bars. Vampires bane is a nice dot. Same with destr reach. But people are spamming purge like crazy so using dot attacks isnt always best. Id put crushing shock on there instead of one of those. Sun shield is... Sometimes useful but you dont have many cp in bastion and u have low health. Id guess ure shield is about 5k. Thats 1 hit or less to break it. Either add another shield to the mix or increase health. Id suggest ibcreasing health to 25k at least.

Second bar: get resto staff. Drop weakness. Get healing ward and maybe rapid regen. But deffinetly healing ward.

Gear:
2 peice Torugs pact for spell damage
4 peice Magnus
2 peice seducer

Health glyphs on head/chest/belt and legs magika on everything else.

Stats
Magika/Health adn Stam (19316/25199/8726) in Cryodil with Nix hound food (+ health and Magiika)
Recovery Mag/Health/Stam (857/321/534) <- seems very low
Spell dam/crit/res (1261/26%/9081)
Weapon dam/crit/res (1003/17.5/6553)

I am trying to build a dps magika build wth templar at the moment.

Ure stats are low. For magicka dps ure minimum should be 1500 spell damage unbuffed. Minimum! Ure regen should be 1500-2000. If you can get yoir hands on vr1 warlock it might be nice. For sustain warlock and seducer are great. And you can get that combo at vr1. Dont know good sets combos at low level other then that.

Basically you are trying to de everything it seems. Get some resist with armor but you have low health. Get some dps which is low and sacrifice survivability. A jack of all trades is a master of none. Easiest thing to do with temp is

A) full stam burst dps
B ) get high health andnhigh magicka regen. Use blaxing shield and breath of life to tank a bit. Id suggest full light or 5 light 2 heavy. Invest in magicka reduction enchants on your jewelry.
C) full on healer for support

Easiest to play with is b or c. Id advice maybe switching destro out for s&b. U get another piece of clothing for more sets bonusses. U can get some reduced blocking cost. Works well for on a tanking bar.
Ps: vampires are still nice in pvp. Especially since u can purge really cheap (fire siege). The extra regen plus mist to escape are good. The bat ulti is also nice. Just saying... Most temps are using bats again for magicka builds.

These are just some ideas. Main point: dont be everything at once. Either be a tank a healer or a dps.

if you want more mobility to get away as a templar you will need to become a Vampire and get mist form, the templar i have in my group has it and can just about keep up with us sorcs bolting around. though be ready for the side effect of having vampire if you want the mobility because camaflague hunter may kick your ass every once in a while, or a lot .

oh and jesus beam your ass off on low health targets, and watch everyone melt around you, especially as a magicka build.

You might want to read the Templar theorycrafting forums over at Tamriel foundry. Also look through these forums for builds, rotations and strategies. The builds themselves aren't really important, you just want to understand why people are using what they use to get a better understanding of game mechanics, what works and what doesn't.
