Oh I agree im replace it because without the 2 heals I don't know if I wna use it after the patch hits live. ijs but hey who knows if they buff the amount it heals it may be worth it but if not then nah
After this patch hits, this Templar healer is off to another mmo, I can't believe the thinking, or lack of, behind this.
tis a blow to a healers bread and butter but idk it will be ok in the end
Its clear to me they are trying to make it so every class can be at least a nearly equally competent healer. There are a few things I am not sure about though. Backlash isn't clear to me. Solar Barrage still could use some love. Blazing Spear is getting a 'nerf' if you could call it that. I never noticed a red circle, but I've never had a problem getting out from a spear unless I've run out of stamina. Templars still have no aoe cc despite the removal of Blinding Flashes. Sun Shield is still in a bad state in pvp. I will say though they did make some improvements. The mending buff will at least make my vigor/rally comparable to what a DK can do, so its clear they gave the Stamplar a little thought. Likewise the snare tacked on the end of jabby jabs makes me happy although I"m not decided if I want to use the skill in pvp or not. I'll definitely give it the old college try though.
So Templars have a dedicated healing tree, to be worse at healing than other classes, or what?
Its pretty clear that Earthen Heart is becoming the 'healing tree' for DK's. I don't think there is a right or wrong in it, it all comes down to implementation. I'm also explaining what I believe they are attempting to do here. Don't mistake the messenger with the message.
Given the drastic changes that the game has undergone though, I do believe Templar and DK could both use something, be it a +Movement Buff, or better #'s on their mitigation skills.
Good, they can buff other classes. That's cool. But why nerf Templar healers over and over? Enough is enough...
In some ways the Major Mending buff is bringing Templars back a little more to what they were. Some of the other changes though do hurt, I agree.
I don't get it, even in my usual runs we don't stay in same place too long but move through the dungeons speedily, am I supposed to spam that circle every few seconds
as well as have to spam BoL even more now, to make up for its shettyness.

✭✭✭✭✭Just got home and got a better look at these patch notes
...
ZOS, was the BoL nerf rlly necessary? And what are these "buffs" of 1m/1% extra to certain Templar skills?
May I plz ask you guys to reconsider the nerf to Breath of Life, and provide better improvements to Templar Skills in general?"Stand strong, stay true and shelter all."

Pretty much yes. For some reason they've balanced the numbers of Templar against other classes, but then said "Templar you stand in that one spot there and don't move". They didn't factor in the fact of the trouble that would cause and the costs involved. Templar is ponderous, expensive to cast, and has to fire its abilities more often to get the same effect as other classes. Example: Boundless + Hardened Ward vs. Rune + Sun Shield. As you can see in this obvious example the Sorcerer duration is vastly longer, cheaper, and easier to use. In other words it is significantly more reliable. Example: Templar stat regeneration is based upon a specific morph of Rune (stand in circle) and radiant aura (part of major/minor buffs). As you can see here, since our regeneration is based upon major/minor buffs we will never be able to attain the regen of other classes, despite sucking wind all the time. In a pitched battle against a hard target, Repentance is worthless, but even if you factor in the minor buff, this means it overwrites other minor benefits you could have gotten otherwise. Other classes do not have to deal with this, and actually all the Radiant Aura does is overcharge what those other players already have. The irony is that the class use to have a Replenishing Shadows type passive a long time ago, but it got complained away by people and now we've essentially been forced to slot a lot of things on our bars to get a weaker version of the same passive other players get. I'll not argue that the recovery from the Rune is nice, but again you have to factor in the reality of combat, be it trying to beat a time on a dungeon or the ultimate necessity of mobility in pvp. I think this is where your best argument would be, we need a buff based upon the necessity of these classes (DK and Templar) to stand their ground to use most of their skills.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

Not sure what to think about BoL change yet but personally I'd take Channeled Focus over Boundless Storm any day(it's not that Boundless is bad, I just do think Channeled is better for my playstyle). The armor buff lasts 8 seconds if you leave the Focus but the spell is insanely cheap(iirc, a LOT cheaper than Storm) so in a mobile fight you could easily just spam it as needed. You can still stand still in a lot of occasions though and the magicka return it gives you on top of the armor is crazy, it's what, over 400 magicka regeneration? I'd say that far overcomes what sorcs have for magicka management.
Hardened Ward is obviously superior to any other shield, Blazing shield could probably use some love, especially in PvP(though on 50k+ health templar builds...Idk how underpowered it is lol). Not saying templars>>>sorcs, but that doesn't necessarily mean all templar skills suck by default and other classes have them better.
As far as I understand it you'll gain same healing buff DKs get with their magic shield now if you stay in those skills of yours? It's what, 30...25%(?) healing increase? That's not so bad. You could stand in Purifying which is a pretty damn big circle, shouldn't be much of an issue on most fights(or did I read something wrong?).
That's just speculating though, we will have to see how it works. Wish I had PTS>.<1 -
CP5✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭A lot of real odd changes (will be on pts soon to see them) but to those mentioning the BOL nerf, how many used the other morph at all? Seems ZOS wanted the option to be either a single off heal or some resource management (and to those saying its roughly a 30% cut to the heals, wasn't BOL's extra heals only 30% of the base heals strength making it a 20% loss?). Still, seems ZOS did a lot of interesting things, but missed a lot as well.0 -

NB changes seem pretty good overall with exception of Funnel Health nerf and possible Siphoning Attacks nerf to proccing on DoTs (does this mean Caltrops will no longer proc it?). Catalyst passive still crappily underpowered.

Nerfs to BoL, purify (I'm interpreting this as you can no longer purify a meteor, but NB can still cloak one, and now NO ONE can reflect it, so NB or GTFO?), meh.
Besides the puncturing sweep buff, everything else in the aedric spear line is pointless, and far from the fixes/buffs those skills needed. I also am unconvinced that toppling charge is fixed until weeks of testing proves otherwise, this has shown up in the patch notes multiple times already, I've been burned before baby...
Not sure how I feel about the passive changes to purify/channeled focus giving major mending instead of buffing BoL. I think overall it will be beneficial as major mending was a difficult buff to get, and it will make resto heals stronger now. I think Combat Prayer/Blessing will be the new go to heal?
Overall I think I'll maybe use eclipse now, and healing might end up being easier with resto staff, but in general Wrobel missed the mark for filling the potholes that the class has and bringing them up to par.

Why don't they just delete the skill?
I can't believe they are listening to people who think it's OP. It's a healer, it heals! Omg nerf it, when they heal it takes more than 2 seconds for me to kill so it must be nerfed...
Oh I agree im replace it because without the 2 heals I don't know if I wna use it after the patch hits live. ijs but hey who knows if they buff the amount it heals it may be worth it but if not then nah
After this patch hits, this Templar healer is off to another mmo, I can't believe the thinking, or lack of, behind this.
tis a blow to a healers bread and butter but idk it will be ok in the end
Its clear to me they are trying to make it so every class can be at least a nearly equally competent healer. There are a few things I am not sure about though. Backlash isn't clear to me. Solar Barrage still could use some love. Blazing Spear is getting a 'nerf' if you could call it that. I never noticed a red circle, but I've never had a problem getting out from a spear unless I've run out of stamina. Templars still have no aoe cc despite the removal of Blinding Flashes. Sun Shield is still in a bad state in pvp. I will say though they did make some improvements. The mending buff will at least make my vigor/rally comparable to what a DK can do, so its clear they gave the Stamplar a little thought. Likewise the snare tacked on the end of jabby jabs makes me happy although I"m not decided if I want to use the skill in pvp or not. I'll definitely give it the old college try though.
So Templars have a dedicated healing tree, to be worse at healing than other classes, or what?
Its pretty clear that Earthen Heart is becoming the 'healing tree' for DK's. I don't think there is a right or wrong in it, it all comes down to implementation. I'm also explaining what I believe they are attempting to do here. Don't mistake the messenger with the message.
Given the drastic changes that the game has undergone though, I do believe Templar and DK could both use something, be it a +Movement Buff, or better #'s on their mitigation skills.
Good, they can buff other classes. That's cool. But why nerf Templar healers over and over? Enough is enough...
In some ways the Major Mending buff is bringing Templars back a little more to what they were. Some of the other changes though do hurt, I agree.
I don't get it, even in my usual runs we don't stay in same place too long but move through the dungeons speedily, am I supposed to spam that circle every few seconds as well as have to spam BoL even more now, to make up for its shettyness.
Pretty much yes. For some reason they've balanced the numbers of Templar against other classes, but then said "Templar you stand in that one spot there and don't move". They didn't factor in the fact of the trouble that would cause and the costs involved. Templar is ponderous, expensive to cast, and has to fire its abilities more often to get the same effect as other classes. Example: Boundless + Hardened Ward vs. Rune + Sun Shield. As you can see in this obvious example the Sorcerer duration is vastly longer, cheaper, and easier to use. In other words it is significantly more reliable. Example: Templar stat regeneration is based upon a specific morph of Rune (stand in circle) and radiant aura (part of major/minor buffs). As you can see here, since our regeneration is based upon major/minor buffs we will never be able to attain the regen of other classes, despite sucking wind all the time. In a pitched battle against a hard target, Repentance is worthless, but even if you factor in the minor buff, this means it overwrites other minor benefits you could have gotten otherwise. Other classes do not have to deal with this, and actually all the Radiant Aura does is overcharge what those other players already have. The irony is that the class use to have a Replenishing Shadows type passive a long time ago, but it got complained away by people and now we've essentially been forced to slot a lot of things on our bars to get a weaker version of the same passive other players get. I'll not argue that the recovery from the Rune is nice, but again you have to factor in the reality of combat, be it trying to beat a time on a dungeon or the ultimate necessity of mobility in pvp. I think this is where your best argument would be, we need a buff based upon the necessity of these classes (DK and Templar) to stand their ground to use most of their skills.
I am no Templar so don't shoot me down as I am trying to understand.
You have mainly channelled skills.
You can reflect ranged attacks.
Your problem is you have to stand and suck it up vs melee.
DKs have chains and talons to pull and root (static).
NBs have evasion and gap closers to jump to and miss (fast).
So shouldn't Templars as a healing class (I say that as a maybe) be given push an snare to keep players off you and reduce there ability to get back to you ?
This gives you time to channel your abilities and counter the other classes mobility skills.
I am thinking along the lines of the bow skills for gap making.

munkt0r✭✭✭I guess now with puncturing strikes in PVP it will slow the enemy enough to be able to land multiple hits?
Anyone play-tested that yet? I'm not plus so I can't use the PTS.0 -

Why don't they just delete the skill?
I can't believe they are listening to people who think it's OP. It's a healer, it heals! Omg nerf it, when they heal it takes more than 2 seconds for me to kill so it must be nerfed...
or people could use the class aoe that's still stronger than any resto or other class aoe heal in the game lol0
