Question about Templar Jabs

siddique

Probably one of the most annoying skills in the game. But what I'm interested in knowing is that what's the best counter to someone jabbing you for life?

Jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab.

You're forgetting that the jabber is sacrificing something every time he's jabbing at you. He'll quickly strain his arm muscles, and then he'll be unable to complete other tasks. It's always about prioritizing for them, do I want to jab now, or do I want to jab later.

Drain and kill them while circling around.

And if all they do is jabbing, they are bad.

Dodge roll through them is pretty effective, a lot of times they get confused since you're suddenly not in front of them. If it's a good player you're facing, it won't work since those know how to turn around.

I'm bad. terrible. on a good day, at my best. Mediocre. On my spamplar, I love jabs. Interestingly enough, I always circle around, moving, roll back topple in mix in LA with others. Some how the players I have faced (mainly 1v1) they are standing still just letting me jab away, rolling/moving away after a channel or two has been finished. When ever I am against a templar, Pyrite knows I am rolling and running, trying to keep my distance away.

Stun and rolling through. Rolling back or on sides won't work and you will get even in worse situation. You want to get on the fecker's back.

Shadow Image. Streak. Dodge roll. Tank it. Shield it. Heal it. Mitigate AOE: Shuffle, Phantasmal Escape, Quick Cloak. Root them: Crippling Grasp, Bombard, Talons. CC them when you can (Fossilize, Fear, Magnum Shot, ...). Depends on your build.

Agree, except when you're high speed and wearing Eternal Hunt, hehehehe.

The counter is having speed, major evasion, major protection (BRP DW does all this), CC at the right moment, immobolize, and rolling properly. I would show you what I mean but my connection sucks to upload videos.

I dueled a stamplar the other day with 6k weapon damage and his jabs weren't that big a deal as long as I was mobile.

https://eso-sets.com/set/thews-of-the-harbinger on a max health build necromancer. Max health in cyro is 143k in bone goliath mode, damage dealt back to the attacker per direct attack was a little over 9k (to a fully geared player) with every attack that they do. With the aoe from https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/ravenous-goliath doing upwards to 12k per hit. - in other words this will melt any templar for just being in proximity with jabs.


RIP templars.
