The Final Templar Funeral

Kr3do

Ladies, Gentlemen, AD players.

With the absence of our beloved leader, idol and theory crafting mastermind Deltia's Gaming, I felt responsible for holding this funeral service for Templars.



We often say that the hour of the big nerf cannot be forecast. When we say this we imagine this hour would be in a distant future. We never thought we would be thinking about Templars as a memory.

It's only natural that we should be sad today, because in a practical sense Templars will no longer a part of our lives. But we should not grieve, to be one of the strongest specs in PvP for several patches and then to get crushed by the nerfhammer quickly and painless, is truly something to be thankful for.

All classes are subject to death: it is the basis of growth. Through evolution, in the course of millions upon millions of nerfs, balance has evolved. With the death of Templar another class will rise to the top and conquer Cyrodiil and the hearts of its players.

So do not cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.

Till we meet again my beloved class,

Rest in Peace.

Funny, but premature.

So pretty much like Deltia's original Templar funeral.

1 day before the tests begin i encourage every Templar to show up in cyrodiil, hold block on your sword and board bar and spam honor the dead until the server goes down and every Templar turns to dust.

But this is only the beginning of a new glorious time for Templars after 6 years everyone will now be able to easily LA weave between jabs, every single skill will now be buffed by soul shine and even extended toilet sessions between jabs casts are possible

Templars never recovered since and now this is final nail in the coffin.

So do not cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.

This actually makes me think of DLC challenger achievements and vet DSA runs on my beautiful stamplar in the past
Even when we did 1 tank-3dd runs, we always had "off-healer" in our group Remember when Resolving Vigor also healed allies?.. Combine it with Extended Ritual, Repentance on trash mobs and Luminous Shards... My stamplar was my favourite character for any group content.
And people were often confused to see my Luminous shards - but they liked to have extra resources from it, and I liked AoE Burning Light procs

I absolutely love that you included Maelstrom staff in this picture as well. Maelstrom weapons received lot of changes over the eyears... But I hope people never forget what was done to our hard-earned vetMaelstrom weapons in Greymoor

The only reason templars need a funeral is the upcoming tests that put their spammable on a 3 second cooldown in a game without cooldowns.

3 secs is a bit too much, 2 secs however would be the sweet spot. Thats in line with Dizzy swing that some of us have been forced to use the last 6 years.

And this right here^

3 seconds is not the new cooldown for aoe skills, its a test parameter.
Nothing is set in stone, its not a balance patch its a test phase.

Heh. Imagine players casting their spammables more often than they cast other abilities.

West93

Jabs is a spammable which procs burning light and use it with light attack weave, executioner, radiant, purify, dark flare ,power of the light, javelin etc its never only just jabs.

If I cant jab than remake burning light, remake minor protection proc, give different passive and I will spam dizzy instead like every other class.

As funny as this image is we know that Zos can already improve performance without these steps (see MYM). They just dont want to.

As a Templar main I welcome any change that encourages something other than Jabs.

We know literally nothing about how they did it, it's possible that solution they used can be only temporary. Most likely they somehow redistributed resources and stuff was just lagging somewhere else

But whatever they undid, it's lagging everywhere now.

Maybe just maybe, if we are really lucky, the AOE changes will happen, and then they will have to fix our beloved class, and if that happens maybe we can actually get some fun new abilities and reworks.... and then we can rise from the ashes like very stabby phoenix's ready to jab jab jab jab jab jab jab

....or not because ZOS seems to hate us.....

I don't really get this? is this what this is all about?

Puncturing Strikes: Reduced the tick frequency of this ability and its morphs to 333ms, down from 300ms, to better sync its damage with its animation.

Puncturing Sweeps (morph): Fixed an issue where the heal from this ability was based on the damage of the initial hit, rather than the amount of damage done to each individual target, resulting in a significant reduction to healing when hitting multiple targets. With this fix, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the Templar’s ability to stay in the thick of the fight.
Radial Sweep: This ultimate and its morphs now have a minor cast time to help better sync their damage and animation, as well as adding more time for counter play to react.

and

Ritual of Retribution (morph): This morph now sacrifices its healing potential for the damage, rather than adding damage on top of the healing. The damage now increases by 5% each tick for the duration of the ability, up to a max of 35%.

---

It doesn't seem like a "buff" alright, but can someone please explain why this is "RIP TEMPLARZZZ!!". Not questioning it, I just can't really see.
