✭F shields on solo templar, fine 1v1 but i can't use the skills / sets i want to use and have a large enough pool to fight a couple ppl. I'll try it again in small group, bet its gonna be enough they're with teammate support. I hit hard so im digging that. Love ice vs magicka, it's almost just to force a roll on medium, and FM hard counters it so bad.Edited by Brutusmax1mus on August 18, 2018 1:36PM1 -

What's the connection between Jesus Beam buff and Soul Assault ? Imo you should run at most one of them anyway, certainly not both.
As for that Jesus Beam buff: I tested it the other day with a turret build ( Axiom light, War Maiden, Slime Craw ) spamming from the back of a zerg mostly. So pretty ideal circumstances for it to shine, but the difference to before that patch is frankly quite minor. That's not much of a surprise of course, in PvP the modifier for very low health wasn't really that much of an issue to start with. Dunno if it intentional or not, the change is much more of a PvE fix for the ability.
Other classes seem to think so as well or the forums would already be flooded with whine threads about it ( again ).
This seems to be correct I tried it after the buff but still dropped it off my bar pretty quickly. Against any decent person your stuck in a channel while they block and heal to full

There isint a connection between the two. Just figured I would go full on beamplar with purify>jav>sa>rad as my burst.

Torug's, Spinner's, Skoria, with Spinner's Inferno and either Willpower/VMA Resto back bar, both weapons infused of course. I've run it with 5-1-1 light, good but kinda squishy in no cp and can be amazing with cp.
Edit: Also I didn't use it with wall of elements, made a range build and basically light attack weaved with crushing shock. Also purifying light, reflective light, radiant. Could run Ele drain, total dark an option too.Edited by Kartalin on August 19, 2018 5:17PM- PC/NA

Ok, so I'm running a vampire Breton Magplar wearing 2 Skoria, 5 Shacklebreaker, 5 Lich, 2 Willpower swords (5 heavy, 1 light, 1 medium).
What jewelry traits would you guys recommend?0 -
BohnT✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I was considering both of those XD
Would Bloodthirsty be a bad choice?
if you are zergsurfing and you specialise on spamming beams from behind the zerg it's good.
But outside of zerging bloodthirsty is often not worth it imo as most of the time the additional 10% damage per trait will be only useful in pvp in a handful of situations when your enemy is below 25% health but still has so much health that you can't kill him with the skills you'd normally use.0 -

✭@BohnT Ah, gotcha. I prefer duo/small group myself, so it looks like that's out of the question. Hmm...Triune looks good, but more mobility couldn't hurt, especially with Elusive Mist.
Swift is really nice on immobile classes. I haven't tried it myself, as I enjoy Triune too much.
The extra stamina lets me run Witchmother/Golden version, and the extra HP is really helpful. Especially since I'm an argonian as well.
Templar is basically an all-round class that isn't good at anything, but doesn't suck super bad at anything either. Although their group-utility is somewhat nice if you play in small-scale. But there are better options to group with, than magplars anyway. So the triune fits nicely, as Triune is also an all-round trait that works okay with most - but doesn't excel at anything.
It's just the "I exist. Therefore I am"(reference, any1?)-trait that fits with the current shape of magplar as well. We exist.

With triune, you really wanna utilize things that complement larger pools. Set combinations like shackle/ amber in heavy with tripots and youll put yourself in a position where using stamina is never going to put you in a situation where you can't cc break, when played properly. Absorb magicka (could pair with asylum snb for a huge way to sustain magicka), reverb bash, blade cloak(mobility/dot for skoria/ procs weapon enchant/ damage reduction vs a million things) forward momentum... you get the point. That flexibility on a magicka class is great when you use it.
Heavy for the regen and higher health pool youll have from triune/tristat.
Ask that'll at you up for great utility. I drop amber for spc in small group, solo ill use shackle with witch mothers.
All together, triune and tristat on big is about 3k stamina. So long as you typically invest in some health, it's a no brainer to rearrange stat points or however you add hp too your build, and make room for those.0 -

✭What do you guys prefer using in place of riposte in this patch?
I ended up using overwheling, shackle and skoria(or pirate) and the result is wonderful. But i sometimes come into situations where i think i need more tank that pairing riposte and pirate offered before it was nerfed. So i'd like to hear your opinions on this. ^^Welkynd [Templar/AD/EU]0 -

Unstable core vs total dark. Ive been experiencing a ton of people who don't cc break core, making me want total dark. But i like the dependable additional burst of core since you can apply it to cc immune targets for the damage still. In a skilled fight where cc breaking happens as it should, whats your input on total dark.
I've played this game for a little over a year and just learned recently that you could break total dark. The struggle is real.2 -

Try Impreg with 7/8 Sturdy. You lose some damage from and sustain from Shackle but you’ll have higher crit resist and lower block cost0 -

I'm lazy so I'm still using lich/riposte/skelly, and I honestly can't really tell the difference. Obviously riposte isn't as good as it was last patch, but I'm surprised everyone is ditching it. Of course, you can't backbar it like you used too, but if you're using master's destro or resto it doesn't really matter that much anyway...2 -

Escapist gives CC immunity, not just snare or roots
Then combine with immovabile pots to anger all opponents1 -

Datolite✭✭✭✭✭Haven't had a ton of time to PvP since patch but I have experimented with a few combinations. Couple things I noticed...
War Maiden, Axiom and Pirate Skeleton in light armor is VASTLY better than any combination of damage sets plus heavy armor.
The only comparable build I found (but more for survivability and disruption) is Troll King with War Maiden and Axiom.1 -

Riposte is still a very viable set, just not as un-balanced as it used to be. One of those changes where people overreacted immensely on how big impact the nerf would have on the set.2
