✭what sets u use?
is wearing shield so much more worth than resto staff for the ult?
why not frost staff instead? same blocking value, but u can slot ele drain on it or restore magicka
using 2h for 6% damage isn't weaker than shock staff for 8% aoe (sweeps and crescent) and also weaving?
how do you have 28k hp and 35k mag? is that CP i suppose, but still, how do you heal half your hp in a single heal?-PC EU- / battlegrounds on my youtube0 -

Its all in the build my friend. 2H is strong on mag builds. Templar gets a AOE ele drain now. So we dont NEED a staff. Im wearing spinners so i dont need the pen either

far from aoe ele drain, maybe aoe magicka steal which is enough on 1 target to get its bonus. Spinners helps only you and not your team, and you can benefit something else at the expense of one ability slot.
i played 2h for a while, light attacks play a role in your damage output, and 2h is weak at that, i remain at staff. 6% all damage against 8% of one type, i think it's worth for ranged, resource restore, and light attack integration.-PC EU- / battlegrounds on my youtube0 -

I don't see how using a 2H can be strong. Your light attacks alone are going to be doing probably half or less damage with a 2H compaired to a staff. On top of that are the staff passives that are helpful for magicka characters. None of the 2H passives are helpful for magicka characters.
Additionally, elemental drain is vastly superior to the templar aoe magicka steal because it also debuffs their resist by 5280.
So my opinion is yes a magicka character does need a staff on at least the offensive bar and the only option on the defensive bar would be sword and shield.Edited by Sheuib on June 3, 2019 8:47AM0 -

2 handed swords have much higher raw damage output then staves do, 1806 damage on nirnhoned 2H with 6% from HW passive results in higher tooltips then the 1535 damage on a nirnhoned staff with the 8% aoe bonus, and can still kill without having to light attack, though you should light attack weave with a 2 hander or any other weapon. All of the 2 handed weapon passives are good for magicka, especially magplar, with the exception of the Balanced Blade passive.
Forceful helps your light attack weaves when fighting multiple opponents.
Heavy Weapons increases your overall damage(and heals) by 6%.
Follow Up can be good if use a direct damage ult, like Berserker Strike or Crescent Sweep right after you heavy attack.
Battle Rush is probably the best passive next to Heavy Weapons, who doesn't want more 30% more stam regen?
Dual wield has more damage then 2H or staves if you run nirnhoned mainhand and sharpened offhand, but the reason, at least my reason for using 2H on magplar is for the damage and the passives.
Also the dual wield passives don't work for magicka builds in most cases, except for twin blade and blunt.

This is the reason to run 2h. Also in a major evaison meta, it's kinda nice to have access to a single target ultimate that isn't soul assault, especially one that gives you 9 seconds of snare immunity, cc immunity and adds to your resistance.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire
