Race choice for Magicka Templar

I already got several Altmers (Mag Warden, Mag Sorc) and Bretons (Mag Sorc and Mag Blade)

Thinking of leveling a Mag Templar.

Are there any other races which are good choice for Mag Templar ?.

This toon will be a soloer mostly and occasionaly healer in both PVP/PVE

Really sad that there are no race choices apart from Breton and Altmer for Magicka classes :(

    Argonians... for healing and resource management.

    Dunmer are also good with fire damage there is some fire damage in the templars kit.

    What about handbag argonian? More healing, little bit max magicka, more health and passive that literally turns every potion into tri-stat, also they have passive that makes them swim really fast. :D

    This one recommends Khajiit - cats rule, others drool (and you get to clean it up) so this is a no-brainer. Kitty Power!
    Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with catsup.
    You're all just a bunch of pixels. Turn off the power and you cease to exist.

    Nord or Argonian. My Templar is Nord but depends what role you want to play. Mine won't ever be a healer so I chose Nord because I love Vikings but they work well for a melee/stam/tanky Templar (for me anyway).

    Argonians make good healers and another race I like. In the end I say choose the race you want to play, don't worry about min/maxing IMO. The game gets boring that way I think. My stam/melee DK is Argonian, stam Warden and Templar (I've gone mag and stam with him depending on mood) are both Nords, stam NB is Khajiit and mag Sorc is Dark Elf.

    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    He left the same time a lot of people got banned for using cheat engine. I don't know why. Maybe they were his gaming pals?

    Anyway.

    Argonian for healer or tank or both. Dunmer, Imperial or Breton for Magicka tank that can still do decent damage. Altmer for glassier, caster type build. They all work.

    My magplar healer is a Bosmer. Why? Because she's small. And she's cute. ;)

    And, honestly, she does great.

    Since Magplar can't reach minimun trial dps ( 35k self buffed without lightning wall solo), you are asking for healer or tank. Any race can do that job. A friend of mine has a bosmer healer and the falling damage passive actually saved our run in vICP.

    The correct answer is wood elf.

    They are BiS in cuteness. DPS? Not so much but you are choosing to play a magplar, obviously mid max DPS is not your chief concern. Which I can respect.

    Answer: Argonian

    What guild requires 35k solo WITHOUT WoE?, thats the top dps skill in any magicka build. Never seen it

    Imperials never had a Magicka bonus. That said, if you're wanting a beefier Templar, even on a pure Magicka build, they're not a bad option.

    For healing purposes I have enjoyed Templar as Breton (Vamp). You have Magicka resist, reduced Magick cost, and Max Magicka passive.

    Altmer is usually the go-to race for Magplar regardless of roles but Breton, Dunmer and Argonian are all good substitutes and have good niche choices for different class roles.
