What would be best?

SunBroDesion

So ive been playing around with my Sorcerer and Templar to find out what id prefer to play. Now after all of the play time im still stuck on some things. I want to use heavy armor, but cant decide on a weapon, and i think i want to use magicka. In short i want to be a heavy armored mage but cant decide weapon/class, i havent played DK yet so im not sure if id want to use that either i know i dont want to use NB or the warden. any help would be appreciated.

Pvp or pve?
As mag sorc you are some kind of forced to use staves since they have no class spam. Some use dual wield on rhem for the spell dmg boost but then you cant weave and you miss out on resource return through heavy attacks. MS also doesnt synergize to well with heavy armor. Hardened ward (class shield) doesnt take armor mitigation into account.

With templar you have a bit more freedom of Choice with your weapons bc they have a class spam. However, you will still miss out the resource return when you use anything but staves.

In pve i wouldnt recommend heavy armor on both. Missing out the la passives is counter productive and you gain survivability trough your teammates. In pvp magplar goes well with heavy armor. Add sword n shield and you have high mitigation. But anyway, I have a light armor magplar with higher mitigation than my heavy armor stamsorc (if I leave hurricane out of the equation).
