What's your preferred role for Templar?

LegendaryOaks

Mine is a templar tank. Holy warrior is cool to me. Also repentance is an OP hidden gem no one talks about.

There's no other for hybridplar, but an effective hybridplar is already .75 stamina anyway tbh.

I always hear bad things about hybrid builds. Are they effective for late game vet dungeons/trials?

Mine pulled 23k self buffed. It'd be effective for vet dungeons and crag vtrials, which is as far as I was shooting for. I'd assume someone could unpotato my rotation and hit no less than 25k. The changes with Summerset look...interesting. I want to test but no pts, sadly.

Theyre salty because Repentance used to be even better then it got its balls clipped. Used to give everyone back stamina and heal.

Pull some decent damage as Magtemplar, plus a few self heals are always a plus when doing vet content.

I am currently trying to find a decent stamplar setup, I also have a magplar. Both Dark Elves.

One I am currently trying out is 5 Hundings, 4 nights silence (for max stam, stam rec, and wep. crit) with 3 agility jewelry with wep damage glyphs. Has 34K stam, 2693 wep damage, 73.3% wep cri, 1264 stam recovery. Still suffers though with overly high usage of stamina, and recovery is way too slow. It even struggles with public dungeon bosses.

I think a fair majority of people upset about repentance are that way because it is incredibly specific (read:limited) in its usefulness and makes it a nightmare to have more than one templar using it.

But I will admit that skill makes me salty for sure.

Try a heavy attack rotation. Use vigor while soloing.

It's false to say that Repentenance is OP or that no one talks about it. It's usefulness depends on having dead bodies around, so it doesn't help resource management at all in boss fights, where it really counts. And since it can only be used once per body, and only restores stam to the caster, you can never have more than one effective stamplar per group. No other class has such situational resource assists as an active skill, or has to compete with others for their resource management.

If it were a passive, these drawbacks would be more than acceptable. But as is, it further cripples what is the weakest class for sustained stam dps.

It's very rare I play with a stamplar, if I do I leave the repentance up to him.

Most bosses have adds that they spawn frequenty enough to still be useful.

Wat.

All templars talk about repentance. We fondly reminisce about when it was useful (for more than just one stamplar in the group).

'Twas glorious. Now I only get to run it after timidly asking if anyone else needs to make dem bodies repent.

I rarely play with stamplars so that's what makes it great. I don't feel the struggle of needing it to sustain though because I can heavy attack. It's just a convenience/group heal ability for me

templars really should be more healers than dps or tanks because their litterally a healing class

I only have a magden atm, but the tank looks really interesting. I love tanking with each class, each one is a bit different =D.

I recommend tankplar. They have access to major mending, minor protection, major vitality like dks except their skills are alot cheaper. You also have a decent burst heal (not as good as gdb but can be cast on others to put stress off healer). Also prepare to become a lamp because you'll become a large ball of light once your fully buffed combine this with almalexia's lantern for rp reasons and darkness will literally not stand in your way anymore.

Minor mending*
Minor vitality*

The latter also depends on you not taking the magicka management tool that is channeled focus. Both are entirely viable, however.

Channeled focus isn't necessary if your running 3 mag regen glyphs

Its amazing to me the results so far as most of the contributors to the forums seem to be damage magplars. I guess its because healers are generally effective and top of what they do (for now) that they would be top and not have to say much, then tank templars are pretty much dead on the PvP end of things, but you do not see a as much stamplar talk usually .

run magplar and stamplar.

I used to really like Templar tank, but for a long time now other classes have unfortunately just outshined Templars at tanking, so Templar Healer is my current favorite, as far as something powerful and useful.

I have a dragonknight tank but I really hate dragonknights for tanking for some reason. I know tankplar is the bottomfeeder for tanking but I like it mainly for the theme and rp reasons

I have a Nightblade tank for much of the same reason (and I like Templar tanks for thematic reasons as well). Just sad that the meta tends to disregard themes and do whatever the hell it wants lol.
