    I would take off bow as by the looks of it you're magicka based.

    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Using magic morphs but you have more points in Stamina? Does not compute. Are you trying to hybridize your Templar?

    Bow, Dual Weild, 2-Hand, and S&B all cost stamina. Destro and Resto staves use Magika.

    We are confused because you spec'd the Magika morphs for some of your Class abilities (like Puncturing Sweep), but alsouse Bow skills. Using S&B skills is fine for a magika build b/c...well that simply the only way. However, the bow skills are utterly useless if you are focusing on Magika.

    In ESO, hybrid build are niche, and mostly useless.

    Let's back up...do you want to be Magic or Stamina focused?

    what do you plan on doing with this build? PvE Solo, Group, Trials? PvP Solo, Group? That will help people understand your concept cause right now it is kinda all over the place.

    The plan is to be a tank so I guess stamina. so far haven't had that much of problem but I guess that is because haven't done much veteran content yet.
    but how good is magic based tanks ?

    well that is the problem I do most of pve and pvp solo because dont know anyone who plays this game and in my friends zone ppl play mostly fps games.

    but I have tried some of the group content and that is why I went with tank.

    so what should I change for what I have understood is magic is for dps mostly

    Since you went Imperial and you seem like you want to use the bow, I would go Stamina instead of Magicka. So 5 medium, and 2 heavy until you get the Undaunted Mettle passive then go 1 light, and 1 heavy instead of 2 heavy.

    Being a Vamp and wanting to Tank is gonna be rough especially in PvP as there is a ton of fire damage, and people running with Vamp hate. In PvP, I would invest in improving your survivability. The best thing about Vamp is the Undeath passive. Bats is nice but it makes you a target and isn't always up.

    Puncturing Sweeps < Biting Jabs. You have 2 single target abilities on your S&B bar. You only need one. Decide whether you like Biting Jabs or Puncture, no reason to have both. Slot in Reverberating Bash or Accelerating Drain for PvP as that is your CC as your using Shielded Assault and not Invasion. Bash has the all important Heal Debuff while Drain gives you mobility. For PvE tanking, slot Heroic Slash.

    In you go with Drain, drop bats from this bar and put in Flawless Dawnbreaker for the 8% extra melee damage for it being slotted. You can put bats on the other bar so you don't lose the recovery since a Vamp ability has to be slotted.

    Blazing Spear's Stamina Recovery doesn't work for you. It is also Magicka so it's a DPS loss. Use Binding Javelin is you go with Puncture over Jabs so you get the Aedric Spear passives. ***FORGET THIS ORIGINALLY***

    As a PvE tank, I would double bar S&B. Your never gonna need a bow as a Tank. As a DPS, it will be nice if you get the Maelstrom one. Then you will want Scorched Earth. For PvP, Draining Shot is ok but Bombard is better.

    Skills you want: Purifying Ritual (every Templar should have this slotted), Resolving Vigor (this will be your heal), and Harness Magicka (Sorcerers are a big deal in PvP and in some PvE zones this is a much needed DS). If you need magicka to cover the cost, you may need to make adjustments to your build (Gear, CP). Rune Focus is also nice, maybe find some way to slot that.

    This is how I would run my bars as a suggestion:

    Biting Jabs (Puncture for PvE tank[taunt] until you have Inner Beast)
    Shielded Assault (Heroic Slash cause of Ultimate)
    Defensive Stance
    Accelerating Drain (Repentance)
    Reverberating Bash

    Ultimate: Flawless Dawnbreaker

    Binding Javelin (Rune Focus S&B tanking)
    Bombard (Shuffle for S&B tanking)
    Purifying Ritual
    Harness Magicka
    Resolving Vigor

    Ultimate: Bats

    But try things out and see what you like... GL

    Yes Stamina, although if you want to tank I would go for the suggested Health total for what content your doing. Some dungeons require more health than others and Trials you definitely need a good bit. Suggest ALL Stamina and use gear to switch to more health if you can.

    Don't be afraid to make changes, it is all about playstyle and what fits you. Concepts are the same but I think you will like the Bombard + Bats combo. Alot of people just don't know how to react. You'll get some lolz

    I'd recommend doing a Templar magic tank build. You could put most attributes in to magic and some in health and make up anything missing with gear and enchants. If you go heavily in magic you'll do more damage and heal for more. If you put more in health you can do some cool tank things with blazing shield and bone shield and be more survivable. For damage use puncturing sweeps, dark flare, blazing spear. Level resto and destro if you want. Templar class skills are good for magic builds on their own. Level one hand and shield. You could do this:
    1pierce armor/inner fire, puncturing sweeps, absorb magic, repentance, Purifying light, bat swarm/empowering sweep
    2 channeled focus, blazing shield/spear, harness magicka, radiant oppression, breath of life, solar prison

    what about gear should stick with the 5 medium or change it up

    Radiant oppression, breath of life, and puncturing sweeps makes you out to be a magicka character, as they all scale.
    I would suggest you to just go with a magicka tank build. Templar doesn't have much in the way of useful abilities for a stamina tank.

    The thing that determines whether your magicka or stamina based is what skills you are using. This is probably the best way to show this:

    Biting Jabs [STAMINA MELEE DPS ABILITY]
    Shielded Assault [STAMINA GAP CLOSER]
    Defensive Stance [STAMINA BUFF AND REFLECT SINGLE TARGET SPELLS AGAINST YOU]
    Accelerating Drain [MAGICKA BUFF FOR MOBILITY]
    Reverberating Bash[STAMINA MELEE RANGE CC AND HEALING DEBUFF]

    Binding Javelin [STAMINA SINGLE TARGET RANGED]
    Bombard [STAMINA MASS CC]
    Purifying Ritual [MAGICKA ABILITY TO REMOVE DEBUFFS]
    Harness Magicka [ANTI-MAGICKA DAMAGE SHIELD]
    Resolving Vigor [STAMINA BURST HEAL]

    So all the abilities that you'll use for DPS or to Heal yourself are stamina based. The only magicka based skills here are Utility so you don't need an investment in Magicka as a Stamina class to use them. Drain is a cheap ability for mobility with some extra icing on top but you only need to use every 20 seconds for Major Expedition. Ritual is a cheap magicka ability that provides you an important cleanse. Harness Magicka gives you protection against spell burst against you and returns a good portion of the magicka you used to cast it back to you.

    If you wanted to go Magicka instead of Stamina, you would switch Biting Jabs for it's magicka counterpart: Puncturing Sweeps. Shielded Assault for Toppling Charge and so on.

    This allows you to spec all your efforts into building up your Stamina to get the most of your abilities. Light Armor for Magicka, Medium Armor for Stamina. So if you wanted to be Magicka you would run 5 light instead of 5 medium armor. The amount of damage and healing a ability does is based off of which attribute is used to cast it.
