When character building. ..

HippoZoned

Ok I'm a little lost here I have a dual weilding imperial templar who uses heavy/medium armor. So when starting my character i was using dw swords for high dps. But mid way through i switched to sword/shield/tank bc that's what the imperial seems to specialize in,however i switched back to dual weild dps because that's what i wanted to use however i now feel underpowered without sword and shield and the mix of imperial and templar feels like it is natural for a tank build. I almost feel forced to play with sword and shield and be a tank which is maddening. And again me dual wielding and leveling feels like I'm under powered at lv 15. i have no ultimate and nothing that seems to help with leveling my dual weild on the character's stand point yea i can get high health and stamina but that makes me more suited to be a tank not a dps.

So my question is why would they allow us to use any armor any weapon set but force us into a play style or am i just doing this wrong.?

I realized this may be in wrong section
