Mag Templar non-CP builds

Dudis · June 2017

So i was just curious about what kind of sets people are running in non-CP, both BGs and Cyrodiil.

I have a ton of ideas but got a real hard time deciding

First of Monster sets... I will probably switch between these three as i see fit
- Valkyn Skoria (obviously)
- Pirate Skeleton (mainly when running duo/trio with friends)
- Malubeth (solo, is this still any good?)

As for actual gear sets, i feel i want to run 5/0/2 or 5/1/1 H/M/L with 1h/shield main and a staff backbar for emergency regen.

Here are a few sets i've gathered, in no particular order. I don't really feel like dumping money into getting impregnable just yet.

Shacklebreaker + Transmutation / Wizards Riposte (Witchmother food)
- made for sustain and survivability

Rattlecage + Amberplasm / Desert rose / Lich (Tri-stat food)
- Mainly for solo and duo, Rattlecage for a decent damage boost and to free another ability slot instead of using a worthless dot or allows me to use tri-pots.

How do people feel about Bloodthorn these days? It sort of feels like a poor-mans Amberplasm, where you trade some crit and a bit of stam regen for a tiny bit of extra mana regen, assuming you keep dealing damage.

Have i missed anything obvious?

Bloodthorn doesn't proc enough on a Templar because almost everything is DOT instead of direct damage. Lich is nice because you don't have to have it on both bars.

Lich got stealth nerfed, now you gotta be at 33% and activate an ability

I've had success in BG's with skoria, seducer, and desert rose 1h&s resto in 5h/2l. Also with kags instead of seducer, and lich instead of desert rose, but the seducer/desert rose is my favorite. Remember in BG's purifying light and radiant get you a lot of kills regardless of your spell damage.

For a Support tank, I've had a ton of luck with 5 lich (jewelry/SnB), 5 Reactive, 2 Pirate Skeleton.

This set up is beastly for domination/CTF or more coordinates groups.

For Deathmatch I swap out Reactive for Soulshine and swap Pirate Skeleton for Skoria since most will just ignore you if they can't kill you.

I want to try Wizards Riposte so bad, but lich is pretty much mandatory for non-cp.

Skoria
BSW (use your dot skill to hit 3 people to activate)
Trans or lich (jewellery + s&b back bar)
2x Willpower swords

2x regen, 1x cost reduction.

Its what jules is running and it hits quite hard in bgs.

Go nearly full damage in BGs too... just test it and you will see its fine..

I want to play with my friend who just picked the game up and dont have morrowind yet, so it'll be mainly non-CP Cyrodiil.

I've been thinking about reactive too, probably with Desert Rose instead of Lich but havn't really decided. Shackle+Amberplasm with tri-stat food seems pretty well-rounded though.

I'm also not yet quite sure if i want to go 1h+1h or 1h+resto or possibly dw/destro+1h.

5 impreg 5 overwhelming surge 2 skoria
5 heavy 2 light (as many sturdy pieces as possible)
Dual wield/sword and board

Sustain isn't easy, but for experienced players it's possible. I got sick of the viper selenes cancer and decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.
