Any ideas for a different unique but viable build

I am currently making the classes I want to play and bringing them to 50 and moving to another build, all while waiting till they remove the vet levels. I am not asking for builds that are completely useless or unworkable but builds that are unique in their playstyle or an interesting combination that are still viable. I am not asking to be top dps or anything but just something differentand fun.

Builds I am currently already working on
NB healer- Already in vets but working on all my crafting while I bring up the other characters.
DK healer/mage hybrid
DK tank/2hander hybrid
Sorc Stam - Wish bow with as well with daggers as a two hander does because I wanted her to be sort of my Sara character from Dragon Age Inquisition, she is fracking hilarious.

So I have never played a templar, and given they are on the down an outs maybe something that can combine templar and bow well if that is possible or something that is Templar. I know the struggles lol I use to play a Ret pally hardcore before BC and all the changes to make them viable. Having to work with 6 different stats str/crit/spellcrit/spelldam/accuracy etc. Hopefully a build can interest me and they will eventually bring this class up to par.

    viable is simply either stacking max magika or max weapon dmg...

    Maybe it's because I tried to do it myself, but I see a lot of threads popping up lately asking for Bow Templar builds.

    Basically, there are two three things that can make this work.
    - Piercing Spear passive giving +10% Crit Damage synergizes well with Accuracy passive giving +x Crit Chance with bows.
    - Changes in the Champion system coming with TG; Namely Thaumaturge improving all DoT abilities, which includes Poison Injection, Arrow Barrage, Acid Spray and Templar's Biting Jabs.
    - Repentance.

    Sadly, except for Biting Jabs, Repentance and potentially Blazing Spear there's nothing Templar has to offer for a bow build. So there's not really any "combination" with this build as Templars don't have a lot to combine with. You'll mostly use your weapon and potentially fighter guild skills (the beast trap for the Minor Force buff would be a good addition).

    For PvE groups, I use either Arrow Barrage or Blazing Spear (to proc Burning Light) followed by Bombard. Then either spam Bombard until everything's dead, or move in with Biting Jabs / Steel Tornado. Doesn't really matter, PvE everything's mostly easy. I haven't gotten it to the point where it works well in IC sewers, though.
    You could also use Reflective Light as a snare instead of the root you get with Bombard, but I don't see that working well.

    Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.

    I think people didn't understand when I mentioned bow and templar. I wasn't saying that is the build I want persay unless someone has tried it and had some interesting results that was merely something I mentioned that was an interestin g combination and if something that is interesting that includes the templar or any other class for that matter could be brought to light I would be interested in trying it
