So is it any use in PvP:

"ability is active you gain Empower, increasing the damage of your Heavy Attacks against monsters by 80%. "

    You're still pulsing damage around you.

    It's much less useful than it used to be. Especially with the nerf to the dps of DoTs. However, it still has some uses in very specific builds. It can't be discounted completely, as a magplar you're going to want the minor sorc. While theres some other very decent abilities in dawn's wrath, sometimes a passive dot is what fits best into the current build. Or maybe you are stacking aoe dot ticks with deadly and a lightning staff. It's a pretty trash ability for pvp now but just don't think its completely useless.

    Abilities on Templar that are underperforming in PvP on a standard, solo*, non-support build…

    Aedric Spear
    -Spear Shards*
    -Sun Shield

    Dawn’s Wrath
    -Nova*
    -Sun Fire
    -Solar Flare
    -Backlash

    Restoring Light
    -Healing Ritual*
    -Restoring Aura

    Hopefully this list helps you to avoid some pitfalls, as each of the abilities listed are all better off avoided in their current state as they have been nerfed into the ground or havent been in a decent spot in years.

    Havnt PVPed on my Templar since the jab nerf. Jabs are feeling more manageable now? Noticed they weren’t in your list.

    For Magicka Templars, it’s still necessary if you’re not running a ranged build, it’s less effective, but it’s not entirely gutted.

    @phaneub17_ESO I was hoping the Heavy Attacks worked for Bow and Staff in PvP...that 80% would be nice.

    I guess opponent PvP are not considered 'monsters' right?
