Energy Orb and Templars

Illurian · June 2017

Hey all,

Is Energy Orb still a must have for Templars, even with the changes to they synergies of the orb and shards sharing the same cooldown?

I would imagine that it's unnecessary for 4 man content, but what about Trials?

Well it procs spc and mending sets, and you unlike shards can drop many of them at once, so they still have their uses.

True, but is it still considered BiS for Templars now, though?

It is the only heal that ticks every half second, makes keeping up SPC much easier, in fact I replaced repentance with the skill after changing the morph since the other morph of orbs just increases the damage done and not the resources returned.

On orbs vs shards, running both is fine, they both have there uses, just make sure you have luminous shards as a healer though, they give half the opposite stat, so luminous shards are better for healers.
