    Fully agree, in 1v1 scenario, zaan is broken, not templar.

    In staged duels, it doesn't matter that Plar is lacking in immediate damage or mobility, and you won't need to worry about your entire kit being bricked by enemy LoS tactics, so they're pretty underrated for this scenario. You can even land jabs in duels where players actually stand in it and game performance is more cooperative. Against ranged Plars it's not the meteor that kills you, it's being desynced and stun locked by the jav for their followup beam finisher.

    So really it's the stupid beam that's the issue with Plar as usual. Nerf the beam and spread its power across the rest of Plar's offensive kit, and a lot of problems are solved including the dueling cheese jav combos.

    dueling provides AP, Tel var? May be it provides more than a few achievements? Some dueling builds are unplayable in Open World, since you don't need speed buff, or evasion, or high sustain. Basically, you will get focused first in your squishy dueling build, go to respawn first.

    So I don't understand, why dueling is even considered, when comparing classes?

    But the templar probably has immovable pots always available as he builds exactly for this combo while the other player does not. Even if he has immovable pots on quickslotwheel if he has tripots on quickslot he has to choose immovable slots first before using them which takes to long to do in time before meteor/javelin hits.

    I just gave arguments that for me you can counter this combo as I was fighting against players who were doing what I said. I don't buy your argument that templar propobly has immo pots and their enemies does not, sorry. I understand that often someone can be not prepared for this but still it not means that it is unconterable.

    For me also this combo is much worse in bgs, cyro and ic because often I was targeting wrong player or his summons with javelin or ice comet and there is bigger possibility that someone will interupt your combo in bigger fights.
    I found that I got more benefits using crescent sweep instead of ice comet (lower cost, instant dmg).

    This is my point of view as a average templar

    I agree with the Templar Statement, as I too am struggeling to reach the same damage I can deal with my Stamsorc, or Nightblade even though the later is a full glass canon so maybe not the right comparison. Still I tried a few different setups on Templar and it just feels weak compared to my other Damage builds, it is also slower but can survive great.

    ESO is in a shambolic state at the moment. You just need to take a look at any random high MMR BG (whatever that means) and you will see a clear view of the current class comparison: a feast of cloaks and a constant bombardment of frags followed by shield spamming.

    Huh? They put Sorc first and it's otherwise similar to most other tier lists.

    Sorc/NB > Ward/DK > Plar/Arc > Cro

    The two biggest class skill outliers, Hardened Ward and Cloak, are both being nerfed in u44.

    Now if they could gut the gross Plar beam but buff the rest of its offensive kit, we'd be in business.

    Equally skilled Sorc vs NB, NB will win 5/10 maybe even 6 or 7 out of 10. If you don’t think so, you don’t know a good nb who can play 1v1 out of stealth

    NBs? MagSorcs? same FOTMs material. Just take a look at the typical BG and you will see what numbers you have in there. Generally 6/8 between NBs and MagSorcs

    Haven't played for a couple weeks but I was frustrated as I just randomly jumped on my NB I hadn't played for months and had a way easier time than my plar I've mained since launch.

    To be fair, I prefer stat builds so sorc and NB can do that. Might be better to run more procs on plar while maintaining all the HOTs

    There are immo pots, but even then both of you can use them.

    So you're only stunning them when they're ulting you right?

    Good PvPers stun off cooldown to put pressure on your stam sustain. That's why classes like DK use Fossilize every 7s. If you're only stunning them when they use Meteor Javelin, then you're not pressing their stam sustain, which means they have all of that stam to block and roll your attacks.

    So now you have a problem that's difficult to solve. Not stunning them off cooldown means they have more stam to play defensive. Stunning them regularly means they can just use Meteor Javelin while under CC immunity. That is what I meant by baiting the stun.

    Btw, I haven't even gone into the fact that a good Templar can "hide" the Meteor by roll dodge canceling it. Roll canceling the Meteor throws people off guard because they don't expect a Templar to do that. After they exit roll dodge there is still a few hundred milliseconds of I-frame too, meaning they can still dodge most stuns (except for undodgable ones of course).

    If you're able to reliably dodge that combo, then the Plar you're fighting isn't really using the combo correctly. A good Plar will never let you stun them while executing that combo.

    All this Plar talk and Beam still doesn't get enough hate. It's an absolutely cracked skill that flies under the radar because most Plar players can't even get you down to 50% in the first place. But once you get there (usually thanks to some invisible ranged Tarnished goober somewhere else), counterplay is extremely limited. Max range, can't be dodged, drains stam unusually quickly against block, deletes you if you get stunned (or don't have sweatlord tier reaction time).

    Cyro lately has been a rash of braindead Beam spammers who sit inside zergs at max range spamming it on full hp targets, waiting for someone else to do damage and stun so they can get free kills. Meteor Jav is only unfair because of the followup broken op Beam that deletes you from range while you're desynced by the Jav stun. Beam needs to be nerfed underground yesterday, with the rest of Plar's offensive kit buffed to restore its rightful place as a melee brawler.

    As a diehard Templar player for all of ESO's existence, I agree strongly with you...

    ... with the caveat we see the damage return to Jabs, Burning Light, and PotL first, because at this point, I have zero faith it wouldn't just be a massive Nerf to Beam with no real improvement elsewhere, leaving us completely defanged.

    Especially not while some other classes are so massively strong in multiple aspects. I'm tired of being the only "balanced" class on a spreadsheet, other than very-deceased Necro. The fact Necromancer just got an overhaul and is still in such a sorry state is why I want to see improvements FIRST and then a nerf to Beam.
