[VIDEO] Indestructible - Blazing Shield Templar Tank

Synozeer

More blazing bombastic video footage I recorded over the past couple of weeks. This should be my last video before the Dark Brotherhood DLC launches. Hope you like it!

Impressive! It's nice to see that templars can be played effectively in different ways.

You can't dps/heals and I'd imagine even in trials as a tank it's hard.

But I've tanked pledges. Just grab all the mobs and let the shield hit things.

/yawn slow pace combat with nothing happening and a fast annoying beat in the background. You can do better

I just use it for pledges. I mainly PvP so never tried it in trials and it's not really optimized for that.

Wanted to try something different for this video, but now I've learned my lesson in that respect

Good stuff, Azoi!!

Can you post the build? What enchants are you using?

Might be slower paced than the usual builds that stack a lot of damage, but there is still a lot happening. There is a lot of good resource management, something that a lot of builds these days don't need much of, and still managing to get kills / healing despite having lower than average spell power. It's really hard to stack that much health and still have a functional build.

I'm running 5/1/1 heavy/med/light, 5 Seducer, 2 Bloodspawn, 3 Endurance (all enchanted with magicka regen), 2 Twilight Embrace (any set with health at 2 trait). Health enchants on all, all points into health. Vampire, Atronoch mundus.

CP distribution is:
The Tower/Magician:46
The Lover/Arcanist:76
The Lover/Mooncalf:20
The Shadow/Tumbling:25
The Apprentice/Elemental Expert:73
The Apprentice/Spell Erosion:19
The Ritual/Thaumaturge:75
The Steed/Block Expertise:27
The Steed/Resistant:10
The Lady/Hardy:10
The Lady/Thick Skinned:10
The Lady/Elemental Defender:10
The Lord/Bastion:100

Of course much of this will change in a week.

Fantastic stuff as always!

I assume you're using regen drink? I use tristat food as I like having the stamina so I'm not half out resources after one CC break.

Now that Malubeth is fixed in PvP, it's one of the sets I'm going to start testing out again, especially with Invigorating Drain.

Max Health / Regen, I don't need to block that much so I find it easy to manage with that much health and only 10k stamina.

Great video, as always.

Your build is obviously extremely strong, but why 100 into bastion? I understand that the entire build is based around having a large blazing shield, but how much actual shield size would you lose if you dropped, for example, 12 points out of bastion and put 4 points each into hardy/thick skinned/ele defender? I know for sorcs that its best not to use 100 bastion since the mitigation from other CP applies to shields, since I've never played this style of templar I have no clue if the same is true for this build.

I used to have only 20% into Bastion, but increased it to 25% when I was experimenting with various builds that had lower health, so I wanted to make sure I kept my shield strength up there. I haven't really changed my CP in a long time, but overall it would probably make a minimal difference either way I spent 12ish points. Going to be revisiting my CP with Dark Brotherhood launch though.

Bastion gives bigger size shield which means your shield absorbs more hits. More hits=more dmg dealt back to enemies. More enemies = bigger shield which also means more dmg.

It's a very fun build because you are trying to find zergs instead of running away. And against poor players, you can almost solo defend a keep.

Tbh, if you aren't healing you need to be shield trolling. :P

Toast_STS

I like your build. I've been trolling with a blazing shield tank lately too. Had a decent fight the other day you might enjoyhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gy_Oob6m4HU

Magicka cost reduction and sell resistance work very well with this build.

i would think Argonian might be best in slot for this type of build

Max health
9% Healing Returned
The potion passive

For a max health race, imperial is better due to increased stam pool. But it's neck-neck at first glance. I wouldn't rule out argonian

I agree me too, what I usually do is when I stream I listen to music, so when I put videos out there we hear ingame sounds+ my music on the spot

I'd think the 12% stamina wouldn't be as important simply cause you're going to have low stamina with this build anyway....9% healing might let ya live longer and the potion passive might be slightly useful with it.
