So, hear me out. Was it Gutted Kinda but not totally. As a Templar which has some form of an Arcanist Channel touch this Amulet Rocks! I am one of those Parse Light Attacks type Players. I even LA Weave when i am tanking. Some of you may have seen me do that. It is just built into my Game Play so i was kind of hesitant at first.... BUT Radiant Destruction aka The Jesus Beam Is my Closer and Many times i would go without LAW for the last 25% of a fight as i am Channeling Beam watching out for AOE's last second mechanics etc etc.. Now I can Throw a Lightweight Beast Trap instead of Barbed if i want and can position myself at the end of a fight much better and still get a Spectral Cloak boost hitting. The DPS is easily better or Spot on to what i was doing and combined with my Buffs is Well worth the sacrifice of my LA damage. I also still light attack when I can to build Ultimate. I do not mind the Minor Force and Love the 15% Against Monsters. Maybe another 1k Pen on top of the 1600'ish but seriously it does not matter. I am excited to actually run this with Alkosh as a DPS in Dungeon or Trials. 6k Pen + Major and Minor Breach + Velothi + CP Pen and You are literally at the cap if you want to be. PLUS, IT IS FUN AS HECK and If you want to mess around you can run a Monster Set or 2 Arena Sets etc etc. Good Luck everyone i am not on PTS and wanted to leave these comments since i finally got to run Velothi on my Templar. I do not know much about other classes, so this is really a Templar Review LOL...

    To be fair, Templar's main kit was gutted to the point that most of its damage comes from the beam. It's no wonder the necklace works on Templar. If ZoS reverted Jabs and Backlash, the necklace probably wouldn't be much worth it. But as Templar currently is, I can see it. It's definitely an item more tailored to Arcanist, but if Templar stays the way it is, it can be used there as well.
