I love paladin game play and love Templar game play, but all know, isn't viable to end game PvE, unfortunately.
Are there plain to change this?
Thank you

The issues with the current state of Templar, including tank role, are covered here:

To answer your question, it appears that it will be up to a year before we might see significant reworking of Templar class skills. ZoS is currently conducting a review of everything to do with combat to set a new standard going forward. Active abilities are 'standardized with Update 22; it looks like Passives will be addressed with Update 23 or 24.

Templar is my favorite class. I am sure that it will be improved after the audit and new standards are applied to the base game.

Thank you @therift !!

I wouldn't go as far as saying that Templar tanks are "not viable" for endgame. I'm playing templar tank and it's going great. Sure, there are things that bother me, like having no pull other than leash, but that's not stopping me from using leash and being good with it.

This is a fun Templar build. You can adjust it to fit your style of course, like swapping Imperium for something that boosts damage, or dropping the frost staff if the crusher enchant isn't as important for some reason (perhaps because a DPS or healer runs it instead).

The most important part of being a tank is knowing how to actually do your job. As long as you have resistances, taunts, enough resources and a pull, you'll be good to go. Leaderboard runs require a bit more admittedly.

I really enjoy playing my Templar tank also. But I can't deny it struggles on the more difficult content. It can be done - but damn if I don't earn it.

I"m not sure what kind of Templar tank you play, but it sounds similar to mine actually if you are going for a paladin-style tank which I"m going to assume means a tank who focuses on healing himself. What would really help me is if they made our heals scale with health instead of Magicka. If they did that, I think it would make tanking the really hard stuff a lot more comfortable.

I have been enjoying my templar tank recently. Swapping to back Bar Ice Staff helped a lot.

I am easily completing Veteran HM Dungeons.

Trials... well I have only done normal ones so I am not sure.

With the next update they will make templar tank a lot less viable by - for no reason and NO ONE asked for this - destroying empowering sweep (Which was also a great way to utilize automated defense)

A ) Bethesda has nothing to do with this game
B ) I have Templar tank, and believe me is better than my DK Tank by country miles. Because has better resource management, better utilities and is more fun to play. And yes I play him S&B x 2. The argument for Ice Staff and crushing glyph is completely crap argument. It only saves off 1 second on vet trial boss fights when all the DDs are dishing out over 40K DPS, and all the planets are aligned in the solar system behind a blue moon. (I hope you take my meaning).

99% of the time in PUGs, including vet trials, go S&B.

While Empowering Sweep Major Protection will be greatly missed, there is also Deliberation from Psijic Order when casting Introspection or Deep Thought.
Also if Templar kept Major Protection, there are going to be more cries from NB Tanks for losing their burst heal.

If you do not feel is powerful enough, you are doing something wrong
I do not want any more buffing on my Stamplar because might get a heavy hand nerf afterwards.

Templar tank is OK in end game contents .

Tank the bosses at the right place , orb and shard will be provided , healers will take care the tank health .

Wear the debuff sets correctly and do the same tank jobs
