Hi Folks,
So I decided to come back to ESO for a bit and see how things go. I've tried it out in the past but never stuck around for long. I created a templar, and my thinking was a plate-wearing magika class with a 1h & shield (DPS + Survivability). However, I'm starting to wonder how well that works. I'm only level 17 right now, and have put most of my skill points into Dawn's Wrath and Draedic Spear, with one in the Restoration tree for a self heal.
However, I'm starting to question whether this direction is viable. So, I'd like some basic advice around the following:
- Armor: Is heavy armor a good choice for Templar?
- Weapon: I've had some suggestions to change to a staff vs 1h+shield, and then I've also read to dual wield w/swords. What is optimal in this regard?
- Skill points: My hotbar has 3 ranged, 1 melee, and 1 heal. I've only put a few skill points into passives for the 1h + shield, but if a different weapon would be ideal, should I use more weapon abilities vs. class abilities?
- Attribute points - So far, most has been put in Magicka, with a few in health, and 1 or 2 in stamina. I've read some older guides that say put them all in Magicka. Am I screwed now?
Any basic help around these areas would be most appreciated. I'm not worried about min/maxing, but I want to be sufficient, especially when in dungeons with a party.
Thank you!
