Yes it does. When you are ready for the dot to stay, it's better than force pulse. Unless you want to use poisons or need the penetration.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

Ariades_swe✭✭✭✭✭So I geared up for using vamp bane as spammable and it hits very hard. 9k if you count in the dot refresh each hit plus it procs burning alot. I only use jabs situationally now.
Thanks Minno for the advice I never realised the dot will instantly hit on cast making it hit each second instead of every 2 seconds if you spam vamp bane.
Anyone knows if reflective light counts as an aoe and gets boosted by lightning staff passive?Edited by Ariades_swe on March 21, 2019 6:24PM1 -

Yes it does count as aoe, but also effected by master at arms on the initial hit1 -

Most if not alldots have the first hit instantly hit. Most are still every 2s, unless otherwise noted on the tooltips.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

Transmutation group supportDoes anyone know what the go to defensive set is at the min on pvp magplar.
Buffer of the swift. Reduce bleeds good for blocking temp
Cyrodiils lights. Makes mist and meditate tanks also works when u jab or soul Assault if u get interrupted next spell free.
Swift and trans with pirate skele 3 infused jewellery with spell damage and master staff is pretty cancer
Wouldn't that lack balance and dmg , as stats would be really low across the board, but yea tanky as f%$#
Just all about timing and burst. I kill people on my alt Templar and just stand in groups till they give up or kill me with negate spam
I’m addicted to Overwhelming I just gotta figure out the perfect defensive set

Well I’m thinking trans for group play and swift for solo but if I run swift I need to replace Overwhelming surge I kinda wish auroran thunder was better my dream build in theory was
2 valk/grothdar
5 swift/ Cyrodiils
Front bar offensive Aurorans
Back bar perfected asylum SNB/ice staff
But I can’t do it with surge because u need it both bats to be really effective for getting NBs out of stealth

Dark Flare is less situational than you think, I use DF in my dueling setup and it’s an excellent addition to the magplar toolkit.
Forcing out dodgerolls isn’t a bad thing since it’s not something their stamina can sustain. And if you’re fast you can block-cancel the DF cast you can start a sweeps or rebuff.
1v1 can be won through either sustained pressure or unexpected burst which DF provides both. Sustained pressure through high Major Defile and Burst due to the high damage backloaded to the end of a long cast (DF+Crescent+PL Proc can be a 17k burst on a reasonably Tanky target).
Its not the best skill ever and it doesn’t belong on every magplar setup, but it’s a strong option.
DF is great ranged. In melee, one bash, and you're DF is useless. So DF is situational. It's ridiculously easy to bash a DF. I've since switched to Solar Barrage for the 4 ticks of Empower. It's much more useful for melee range combat.
DF is pretty easy to dodge too. It may force down an opponents stamina, but it also chugs at my magicka.Edited by soniku4ikblis on March 25, 2019 7:06PM__._-*._._._.-*'"{Sonic Euphoric Bliss}"'*-._._._.*-_.__1 -

Plus CC immunity stops the bash from working in the first place
.
Solar barrage is good too. If you use a fire staff, the empowered light attack can replace dark flare entirely, since fire staff unempowered light attack is around 10k fully buffed on a normal 36k/3ksd templar build but you get 8 seconds of consistent light attacks. If two of those bad boys connect, you will have more dmg than 1 cast of Dark flare but can block/dodge/bar swap/react.

Yeah was dueling a magplar on my stamplar for what seemed like ages , until we just gave up. This was before I even knew bash was broken but I noticed I couldn’t interrupt them. Cc immunity makes it worse too.
Dark flare might be a little op if they make it instant cast, I’ve hit some crazy numbers in the past with it. Templar ganking would become a thing.0 -
soniku4ikblis✭✭✭Bash is unreliable this patch , so you can bash them and it won’t do anything.
True.
But I specifically stopped using DF because mine would easily get bashed in 1v1 or group. And I can easily bash other Templar's DF's.
However, I notice when I weave bash, that they miss sometimes. So yeah. I'm just really disappointed with my favorite class atm. And I do not want to switch to something else. So, I heal mostly until I get the bug to dps again and then I force myself to go through the torment in hopes I can find that wonderful enjoyment out of my dps MP again.

✭✭Just experienced this mist bug today. I've died through mist several times almost from full hp, every hit on the death recaps is between 2-4k and even saw light attack for 1.7k. Obviously it isn't working. I was wondering why the hell i was dying so much today, and there's the answer.Edited by MaxJrFTW on March 26, 2019 4:05AM"I don't know you, and I don't care to know you."

Transmutation group supportDoes anyone know what the go to defensive set is at the min on pvp magplar.
Buffer of the swift. Reduce bleeds good for blocking temp
Cyrodiils lights. Makes mist and meditate tanks also works when u jab or soul Assault if u get interrupted next spell free.
Swift and trans with pirate skele 3 infused jewellery with spell damage and master staff is pretty cancer
Wouldn't that lack balance and dmg , as stats would be really low across the board, but yea tanky as f%$#
Just all about timing and burst. I kill people on my alt Templar and just stand in groups till they give up or kill me with negate spam
I’m addicted to Overwhelming I just gotta figure out the perfect defensive set
You and me both, tried everything recently but can't settle on anything
I was thinking of pairing with buffer of the swift. Recent changes give 10% reduction in dmg from other players plus spell/physical resists. Anyone do any testing yet with it?0 -

both sides of the same coin. pirate is great, but subject to burst in between procs plus minor defile can be hard when combined with major defile. buffer is great, but wastes a valuable 5pc for 10% mitigation. If you use groth/kena/slime/valkyn with another 5pc offense set, it will be about the same as two 5pc offense sets with pirate.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire
