I think it's just a matter of being able to DPS your target down faster than they can hit you, Templars can do it pretty well but again it requires you to spec into being able to do that. Being in Heavy Armor not hitting as much as you'd like to you'll probably run out of resources in the end.your issues are going to be resolved if you gear right, you can't kill anything cause you're hitting less to nothing in heavy armor. It's not an issue of squeezing 5-10% dps increase it's more about a 60% increase using the proper sets and the proper gear.DanielWinterborn wrote: »I get that you get some more damage on light but not much, considering my item build i probably could squeeze a 5-10% dps increase in light but die way to fast and its not worth it. Also 10% dps increase is not THAT great, still can't kill a rodent.
Ohhh oh might i also mention that Dark Flare that thing you cast for 1.1 seconds can be dodged 100% if your timing is right so templar vs stam build using that skill = 0 dps
Of course heavy sucks for dps builds. But light armor dps templar just melts in PvP. Unlike light NB or sorc, you have no way of kiting or avoiding dmg. Unlike sorc you have no big shield.
You also have no defences against over tuned stamina dmg, besides healing. You cant use the class shield effectively any more, after the blanket nerf. You can use the charge ability to move around, because bugged.
So I get why people in pure panic go heavy. Yet it doesn't mitigate as much as you think, while you loose loads of dmg.
There's just not that many choices as far as build goes in PvP. Always play in groups, so you can get mobility or cross heals from others(while being called zergling), is the solution for both light and stamina templar. You can also go kill PvE'ers, casuals and low levels in IC or around quest hubs like 1vX players, than pretend you're super strong and all is fine
Note: Testing trolls does not work as their Physical and Spell Resistance differs far too much to make that judgement, but then again if you are making this judgement based on PvE take note that all of Templar abilities are Magic Damage and you don't get a benefit from a destruction staff at all. You gain a lot more with Dual Swords and to never DPS in heavy armor for PvE, ever.

You got Rekt. People are trying to tell you why you got Rekt. You have Zero sustain with that setup. You are arguing with them that they are wrong. Fine. Don't listen to us. We are wrong. Keep getting Rekt.
How can i get Rekt with zero sustain when i just mentioned i have no problem with mana management?
I don't like the answer because it is wrong captain obvious. You can spam the word Rekt all you like but you just troll this post with no real argument at all, if you have something smart to say say it and prove it not just blab about nothing. Thanks.

You can call me Captain Obvious, but you sound like Private Oblivious.
You are the one that said your templar gets murdered by everything. I and Nifty and others play a templar and we do not get Rekt. It's not the class that is busted, it's either your build or the way you play a templar.
As good players, do you not find yourself stalemate with other players you know for a fact you have rekt before on your NB or Sorc?
Honest question, don't mind just no as an answer.

I thought it is well-known fact of templar daily life. There is no way for LA templar to survive 6 enemies on him, and thats how Cyro looks nowdays.
And despite i on @DanielWinterborn side, i wanna see capability of your setup in duel, just /w me.

No. The only spec I feel disadvantaged with is a magicka DK. When I play a templar, the only time I feel I feel my best chance is a stalemate is against a player I know who is amongst the top 5% and if that player happens to play a high weapon damage DK or NB. It is in that scenario where I curse the ZoS developers for turning the templar shield into a waste of mana because I have no way to mitigate their damage aside from healing myself. Also shield stacking sorcerers are a pain, but they are for every class. In every other situation, I expect to win. Of course, I don;t always do that, but sometimes you got to tip your cap to your opponent or recognize that you made a mistake.
Your sig says that you are a "healer," and if that is true and you dedicate yourself to that spec, then you probably are going to be in trouble in just about any 1v1 scenario Vs. a halfway decent player. Running a support build intended for group play is really hard to beat another equally skilled player 1v1 who is specced for 1v1. I used to be a "healer' and then I got tired of dying whenever someone came after me so now I'm just a templar with breath of life.
I am of the belief that templars should prioritize sustain over DPS because they don't have instant burst DPS, good opponents will not allow you to burst them down and that means a drawn out fight. The OP is trying to combine things that are not really suited for magicka templar play: max spell power (we can't burst) max protection (this gives us something we don't really need since we can heal ourselves) and in the process deprives him/her of crit and spell penetration, which are essential to any magicka class, and the sustain templars need to win drawn out fights. I'm not saying spellpower and protection aren't important. I am saying each class has certain strengths and weaknesses that might require additional resources beyond the obvious (spellpower: offense, protection: defense).

Nothing, i can't tank nothing, i can't DPS, i can manage resources?)))) for freaking what? so i die harder? what am i cannon fodder? Really! i met with someone today to test some templar builds, templar vs templar he using light armors + max CP 500 and me using my heavy with 280 CP and he himself admit i was a solid Cyro build, yet i am NUKED by pretty much everything! I thought class skills would be powerfull than weapon skills yet i get 7-8k wrecking blow hits in 27k defence what in the name of God is wrong with these people?
I played Lineage 2 for ever, since the game was released and i was noticing the lack of balance there. Here i decided to change my mind and call lineage a very well balanced game.Say goodbye to member hello lineage

Okay now I'm certain you're just trolling .
You don't want to listen to advise, you don't want to try and review your build, you believe you are the best and that it's zos fault.
Go watch sypher videos of him 1vx and tell him it's broken and it can't be your fault.

No wonder you can't explain yourself if you copy someone else. I don't want to see PTS video randoms ok? 1 guy on PTS does not equal all templars, do the math. Again how can i be a troll when i bring facts you only bring random spam with no real meaning?? Eighter post something that can prove and show something or go away and shut up. Thank you.

I thought it is well-known fact of templar daily life. There is no way for LA templar to survive 6 enemies on him, and thats how Cyro looks nowdays.
And despite i on @DanielWinterborn side, i wanna see capability of your setup in duel, just /w me.
No one not a single person can survive against 6 good players.
Against 6 poor players? I can do that easy, and have before.
I've seen an emperor take on a zerg of 20 and demolish them, but me and 2 friends killed that same player, why? Because the zerg had poor players in it. The emperor wasn't even hugely skilled, he mostly just spammed steel tornado and vigor, but no one bothered to try and CC and root him.
1v1 some classes are better than others, but 2v1 of 3 equally skilled players then numbers will win.
Light armor doesn't leave you defence less, I have 16k armor buffed up, in full heavy I would have 20k unbuffed. So tell me why 4k is going to be so much better?

You get 30% from sword and board if you want to block loads.
But he's trying to DPS so should be dual wielding, and being offensive, blocking should be minimal imo, and dodge rolling is better.

Since pvp is not pve but somewhy you think pvp=pve. i dueled @DanielWinterborn and he has nice setup for Cyro. If you AD/DC EU, you can duel me to show if your is better than his.
