such a squishy templar

Kholty22

I'm a breton templar..and i'm asking for advice on what to do..lol Maybe armor advice, what enchantments, attributes and skills over-all. i'm at lvl 43 and i've focused a lot on destruction staff. i almost have radiant destruction unlocked and i just now unlocked sun shield. just fyi. I like the healing aspect but i'd like to get in on the action of course too. I have lately been running dungeons as a person that does dmg but if we fail to find a healer and we proceed i die pretty quick when others are maintaining so much better. If i have to start working on another weapon skill i'm willing so any advice will suffice. thanks

Light armor is pretty squishy, how much have you put into health. Use health and magicka food are just health food if you don't have any of the dual stat food.

If you watch guides they tell you to put all these points into magicka but you cant do that leveling up, you need some health especially for dungeons. Once you get your max gear at V14 maybe you can do that, but leveling put some points into health. I found a general rule of thumb is put one point in health for every two points into your primary damage attribute.

would say 1/3 of my points are in to health. In fact that's what I recently did. Seemed to help quite a bit.

To start running dungeons you are going to want around 12k health base plus health food. That generally allows you to take a big hit if you don't dodge it and stay alive. Maybe some other people would know a bit more than me, but that is what I found to be generally acceptable. I did the same thing with my Templar, put everything into magicka and went in a vet dungeon and got absolutely murdered, one shots all over the place. I then moved some points around and got some more health.

Craft Seducer Set heavy armor, (keep 2 light pieces) enchant it with health, and apply Rune Focus, will make a big difference. Your DPS will be lower due to less spell pen and spell crit, but you don't do any DPS if you're dead. Don't forget to cast Healing Ward if your health is low, it is a very big damage shield.

Thanks for the input everyone.
