Now before you go crazy note that these are just tests. Not finalized. So don't go crazy.

Anyways lets read test 1.
Test 1 – Shared global AOE cooldown - 3 second timer. This test adds a global 3 second shared cooldown to any AOE ability. This means that when you cast an AOE, you will not be able to cast another for 3 seconds. For example, as a Templar, if I cast Ritual of Retribution, I wouldn’t be able to cast Puncturing Sweep for 3 seconds.
I have played templar as a main for a while. Yesterday I had my last straw and logged out of the game after losing to my bro. All I had was jabs. No defense, no useful CC, no useful DoT, no useful heals. Nothing I did was ever going to beat his build. Usually, I know when I have a chance. This time, I knew I did not. So I logged off and told him "the game is done bro"
I felt good because now I knew no matter what I did, stamplar would never be good. It can always be beat because it has nothing unique to it. It crutches on jabs and once you get around jabs, it has nothing.
Every build I make on that stamplar turns to magic on another class. It was then when I was using those other classes I had the ability to use many of their skills rather than 1 skill for stamplar....
At that point, why the hell am I playing a stamplar? The passives don't change anything, you ruined stamplar by changing the sweep to the weaker one and putting a stupid 40% light attack buff on it. PoTL is arguably the most worthless skill known to man. I don't have ANY real heals for stamplar.
Now back to the test, Rich, it doesn't really affect me anymore...simply because I don't play templar....its a stupid class and everyone should quit it...
it was watered down making necro and warden. It lost it's identity a long time ago...There was a time when I slotted Dizzy Swing over jabs...Now? I have slotted flurry over jabs and put jabs on my defensive back bar for just crit.
I use turn evil over any templar cc because it's just better.
I use vigor over any templar heals because I HAVE TO ...
lets be honest as a templar all you can do is push crit out the window and use two skills jabs and vigor mainly...
People cry about dying to jabs...but they fail to realize ZoS made Templar a Jab stick...
Any templar you see replace their avatar with a jab stick....
Just like in gintama where they replaced shinpachi with glasses.
I'd delete my templar if it didn't have everything unlocked on it...
freaking jabs...jab jab jabitty jab....and it gets nerfed by major evasion.. so stupid... flurry doesnt tho...
