Templar Soloing Build (magicka-based).

I'm currently running:
Puncturing Sweep
Dark Flare
Piercing Javelin (just picked it up, thus un-morphed)
Inner Light (dem spell critz)
Breath of Life
A few thoughts:
1) I just picked up Piercing Javelin, and love it. I'm considering using it to replace Dark Flare completely as my new ranged attack. Good/bad idea?
2) Is Inner Light worth it, solo? I'd never take it out of my healing build, but I'm questioning whether it is worth just to augment Dark Flare and Piercing Javelin. I've read it doesn't affect Puncturing Sweep.
3) I really like Repentance, but running two healing abilities solo seems overkill, and Repentance is useless without corpses.
4) I don't have Sun Shield yet, but heard it's a must-have.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Lord Xanhorn✭✭✭✭If you are leveling, you don't really need breath of life. Like you said repentance is good enough. Especially if you get puncturing sweeps. These are my top 5 skills if I have only 1 bar to use
2H
Dark Flare
Reflective Light
Critical Charge
Puncturing Sweep
RepentanceI'm kind of a small deal!0 -

✭✭When you get radiant destruction you won't be using any other skills anymore anyway :P1 -
templesus✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭You do realize vampires bane gives you that same spell crit, so if you start off fights with it and keep the dot up you have no need for inner light...0 -
templesus✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭For max dps i use
Radiant Destruction
Dark Flare
Vampires Bane
Entropy
Weakness to Elements (destro staff)
Always start with weakness to eles, then always vamps vane,for spell crit, then entropy for increased spell damage and,spam dark flare, once they are at half health (itll be fast as dark flares empower stacks with major sorcery) use RD and finish em1 -
Drasn✭✭✭✭If you are leveling nothing matters except Puncturing Sweeps.
In fact you should have the other 4 spots on your hot bar used to level other skills and weapon lines.
Seriously, you can go all the way to V14 using nothing but sweeps.0 -

How about fun? Does fun matter? How about utility? How about the satisfaction and enjoyment of not spamming one skill? How about skill synergy?
You can probably get away with spamming a single skill with -most- classes while leveling up. It's still a terrible idea.
To the rest of you, thanks. I learned some things.

✭Here's what I run on my Templar for while I'm out farming or doing quests. These work really well together. Bar one is for multiple mobs as #3 & #4 hit multiple targets. The stun from Shards has saved me quite a bit as well. I usually start off with 4 then 3 and then 1 until they are dead. Any single targets left get hit with 2 and die really quickly. I always run with a Resto staff as well.
Bar 1(Mobs)
1- Puncturing Sweep
2- Radiant Destruction
3- Spear Shards
4- Reflective Light
5- Breath of Life(rarely needed)
U- Radial Sweep
Bar 2 (Boss)
1- Reflective Light or Puncturing Sweep depending on if ranged or not
2- Radiant Destruction
3- Mutagen
4- Blazing Shield
5- Breath of Life
U- Solar Disturbance

For me it's about thinking ahead.
By the time you hit level 50 all three armor types should be level 50, 3 weapon lines at level 50, all class skills maxed at tier 2-level 4.
By VR 5 you have rounded out all weapon lines to level 50 and most of the skills in those weapon lines to tier 2-level 4. Undaunted, Mage guild, and fighters guild skills should all be nearing tier 2-level 4 as well.
By VR10 all ability's and lines you have access to should be maxed.
That leaves V10-V14 to play around with all the setups you have access to, which is everything with the exception of a few PVP skills you may not have acquired yet.
It's not a terrible idea at all. Now you have a character that can switch between tank, healer, stam dps, or magicka dps with ease, instead of having to grind skill levels to switch.0 -

I get your point, but there's just no way I'd put fun over robotic efficiency during the leveling-up process. xD

I wouldn't say it is robotic as such, I did the same thing you just keep puncturing sweep on the tool bar as a back up that way you get to see what every other skill does and how it effects other skills. It is a very good way to level and a lot of fun seeing what works well with other skills and what doesn't. You never know what will happen in the future what will get a buff and if they are already levelled you will be one step ahead of the curve.

For Questing/Grinding, someone already said it but all you need is Puncturing Sweep.
For Soloing World & Public Dungeon Bosses:
1) Puncturing Sweeps
2) Purifying Light
3) Mutagen
4) Spirit Siphon (EARLY LEVELS : Restoring Aura [Not to cast, for the passive]with Magicka & Stamina Regen Drink and Magicka Pots)
5) Channeled Focus (EARLY LEVELS : Immovable)
U) Empowering Sweep
The sequence is simple. Before pull... 3 5 and then 4. On incoming, 2, then Ultimate if you got, and spam 1 until Purifying Light explodes then reapply. Back to spamming 1 until Ultimate is back up. Always pop Ultimate with Purifying and make sure 3, 4, and 5 are always running. Unless the boss can kill you with a 1 shot, you will return to 100% health before they can hit you again.
Depending on the type of fight, I will switch out Empowering for Solar Prison and/or Purifying for Total Dark.
Only ability I use off the 2 bar is Shuffle until I get Radiant Destruction and then the whole bar becomes dedicated to it although I don't use it for this gameplay.
As far as gear: 5 Piece Whitestrakes and 3 Piece Torugs and Magicka jewelry with reduced spell cost (Until you get Spirit Siphon, I recommend Magicka Regen enchantments). 5 Light/2 Heavy. Reinforced on the Heavy pieces. Standard enchantments on the rest. Soulshine is an underrated set but very good until you get some of the end-game gear like Cyrodil's Light. Warlock is also very good and definitely recommend it at low levels since Soulshine is V6. Seducer as well if you were using low level 5 piece Warlock and need something to hold you off until you get Soulshine.My solution to Champion Point System here0 -

While I am doing it in a far less optimal way to Grampa here, because I suck, I really have to agree! It is not just about getting skills to max to give you a lot of options but it also gives you so many more experiences. I had not touched some weapons because they sounded 'dull' but then going through making those ranked up I found they were actually a whole lot of fun.
Two birds with one stone!
