Templar Casters not there yet

BugCollector

Sorcerers have Crystal Fragments, Overload as Ulti and Mages Fury to top it.

Templars Casters lack a good ultimate for PvP, their Sun Fire travels way too slow and Dark Flare travels too slow + has no proc chance like Crystal Fragments does.

Zenimax, when will you hear our plea? Waiting for a year now... Envisioned my Templar as a pure caster, but that didn't work out so well...

They will be increasing the travel speed of sun fire and dark flare (per this thread http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/161959/templar-skills-bugged-made-useless-ignored#latest and Gina's posts in it).

In addition, you are asking for a blatant copy of CF which makes for boring gameplay. As a templar myself why are you asking for CF? Dark flare has several of its own benefits that make it much better in ways different from CF, thus flavor to the game. The difference primarily being the heal debuff, not only is a heal debuff insanely strong on its own... its an aoe heal debuff....


I think once they make the travel times similar to other abilities (which they are doing very soon), you will be much happier/more successful. Your other complaints don't seem valid in my opinion.

P.S. Gravity crush morph of Nova is one of the best ultimates in the game.

Pffftttt... templar casters have other stuff that more makes up for it I'd think. Not to mention they actually have a decent selection of self-heals, while socrerors are a bit weak in that department...

I play both, and can say they both have strong skills and meh skills. Make a good selection, and you'll do well on either.

GDB is a self heal. Unstable Clannfear is a self heal. Templar skills are smart heals like the Restoration Staff. You're only healing yourself if you're the one with the lowest health. All smart heals are unreliable as self-heals in PvP.

I also play both and my sorcerers with a 65% health Ward and Bolt have a lot higher survivability in PvP right now, compared to the templar. Also better burst.

But I get what you mean if we're talking groups. Templars can heal the group and do moderate dps at the same time, since no weap restrictions on heals. So can NB's I guess and they also have bad magicka dps in 1.6.5. Not sure if that's the deal now. If your caster can slot a class skill that heals other, you will be penalized with 2-3k less dps for all eternity? Probably hard to balance.
