so, although there's been people claiming in this thread that 700dps can be reached with a templar, nobody has actually posted video proof

wtb class buffs plox

I can sustain aoe dps for about 1.30 minutes at 1.385k dps
I can sustain single target dps at 700+ for about the same time, maybe more with clipping. I used to be able to do more.

nice read! finally somebody knows the class well. thanks for sharing!

My opinion, 700 DPS, on single target, sustained for more than 5 minutes is not possible on a Templar... and it shouldn't be.

DK and Sorcs can just about touch that number, I pull about 650 on my Sorc and just over 700 on my melee DK.

The templar is a jack of all trades class. By class abilities alone he can range DPS, melee DPS and heal team-mates. In comparison Sorcs can only do ranged DPS and DKs can only do melee DPS.

What would the point of those other classes be if your Templar could do what they do as well as them, on top of your other abilities?

You've confused play as you want with being the best at everything whichever build/class you play. That's an unrealistic expectation and I'm happy it's not that way.

PS: I do play a templar too but with a healer/tank build, so I know the class a fair bit. I don't competitively DPS with him obviously.

Well said! getting a bit tired of the waaa my class is broke posts. If you're not happy with your character make another one, at least until they change it. Don't see how number crunching in a mmo somehow feeds peoples egos but hey whatever floats your boat ...

Hey Poxx, Drexill here... Hit me up in game, but...

I don't have a Templar that I can test it on right now, but here's a build I'm kicking around:

http://www.esohead.com/calculator/skills#mokzev9k8rHyA8hMj48hmKX8rFTl8A4hI8LxRn8rFTd8hesI8TsCH8A4fp8A4hI8b0pS8N7bLDm8L7JcdoQr6MdoQC6MdoQF6MdoQJ6MdoQK8j7DLU06rUM6LUR6MrJO16MrJPr6MrJPh6MrJPu8e7GLaqq6raqT8v7CranS8O7srdeC6rdeF6zAZqS6MA3FN6MA3FA6MA3FL6MA4Cb8P7ardYw6cLncp6cLncn8U7oLrWe847pzxLCe6MxLDm6MxLDo6MxLDs8zf7zzNbo8zu7zzHfYE6zHfZd8zG7zzHQ3F8zI7zzJIoX6zJIkL8zN7zzJZcY8zA7zzKpUN8zL7zzK4EX

The intent would be full light armor, go with 5 piece twilight's, 3 piece willow's, staffs with precise, thief stone... should hit ~57% spell crit.

Keep Force Siphon up, keep Caltrops down, use Spell Sym to keep mana up every time you switch to that bar to refresh. On the destro side, keep backlash up, and keep elemental drain up... Light attack -> Crushing shock animation canceling is your bread and butter... keeping vampires bane up as well.

It's alot to manage, it's alot of mana usage. You'd need a healer to sustain that Sym usage, but so does a sorcerer.

Anyway, that was my stab at it.

The_Drexill · June 2014

Oh also to add to that, you should use weapon damage enchants on rings to push crushing shock damage higher, NOT spell damage.

And make sure you're light attack animation canceling everything.

Noone was able to claim the prize. Highest Templar DPS recorded is 420 DPS, done by a VR12 full legendary geared, in light armor, with destro staff.

The contest is over guys, thanks for trying. I hope this raised the attention of the developers, and my hope is that this thread, somehow, contributes to a review and eventual boost of our beloved Templar class.

I hear that ER templar with the ESO devs on speed dial can do 700+ dps, but he never posted

SwampRaider · June 2014

I can do 700+ DPS as a templar...It last about 7 seconds before it goes down to 300-400

Shaun98ca2 · June 2014

Cant wait for patch 1.2

Then it will be a contest of who's worse Templars or NightBlades as they are getting their resource management Nerfed almost as bad as ours.

xMovingTarget · June 2014

so many ppl say they can do it. record a video and show us how you can do it. That way you get 50grand goold!

Neither of you saw my screenshot, I take it.

Fuxo · June 2014

That class versatility and counter ability goes south when it comes to finding a group. Especially one for trials.

Thanks for coming up with this idea. It is sad that it took this long for the devs to notice, but it looks like we are finally getting some love in the next patch. And I get to keep my 25k ;-)

Was the best I could manage, it's completely worthless, uses all magicka and ultimate, no heals except from entropy, could not do it with a two hand and shield because of the passive 10% damage from restoration staff, and I would not recommend for a real build. LOL It's not a video because I cannot buy a video recorder software, and I am not sure if trial version of FRAPs is HD enough to read the small numbers in the top left corner of the first screenshot.

As I can admit, OP is just scum and will not give his gold to this cat-templar, right?

You get a solid LOL. Not as good as the other photoshopped screenshot, but yeah I can get my dps over 700 and take a screenshot of it too. Unfortunately, 700 dps sustained is still impossible on templars.

I don't know about sustained dps in PvE content but dueling on the PTS my templar was able to dish out enough burst damage, utility and self-sustain through heals to wipe the floor with most DK, sorcs and nightblades. Of course that was PvP and it seems like most people are trying to balance the classes based on PvE - where one might argue that it is actually more a matter of tweaking the PvE content rather than the class.

Though the class could use a few tweaks in the sustain department:

1. Radiant aura - make a morph than restores magicka and stamina and one which restores health and stamina.

2. Increase the values of restoring spirit or it restore it to a less powerful version of its original incarnation.

Yeah good Templars can be a lot of fun in PvP. That is all I do with my V12 templar now. Resource management remains an issue though, because you are dead once you run out. Dueling other classes is fun as hell, but 2v1 or group fights, templar's lack of resource management becomes much more obvious, whereas DKs can persist against 2v1s, 3v1s, and sorcs still have enough mobility to avoid any matchup that doesn't favor them.
