Magicka Templars still suck in PvP

AshTal

I always find topics like this hard. My experience of a magic Templar on my PvP Campign Is he can take an insane amount of damage, kicks off AOE's all the time and basically if the AD get him into a Keep there is almost no chance we can take it because he just stands in the breech kicking out AOE and taking all the damage we can kick out. However I suspect he is one of the uber 1% who have 1000+ champion points, best gear and lay out and able to take damage from 20 DPS while kicking out AOE attacks and out lasting them/taking 20 guys down.

However I suspect that the average new Vet 16 Templar has a very different experience.

Funny how people are throwing in big Templar numbers that are only able to be done with a lot of champion points or vampire abilities.

everyone knows that the pvp templar must be vampire, you have no movement speed if it's not for mistform

Templar have next to no DPS, but we make up for it with the following:

-a range health debuff that adds an empower buff (possible mag burst opener with right combo)
- a cheap instant purge that buffs your breath of life (also removes meteor!!)
- spell/armor buff (at 900 mag cost!!!!)

So for pvp, you'd want to soak up hits, debuff your enemy to your lvl of dmg output and eventually extend the fight to the point of enemy resource depletion.

If you want super burst, stamina jabs is the way to go.

You won't be fast tracking around the map, but theres 2 classes for that already, templars are natural tanks and healers with possible burst if geared right.
