No one should have a spammable ability that can STUN, HEAL and do a lot of DAMAGE at the same time in one ability. DK, Sorc or NB doesn't have it - neither should the templar.

    They need to tone down the ability, it's too powerfull. I'm running with a 5 heavy, 1 light and medium setup. Fully buffed I got 36k spell resistance and the only thing I can do against such a templar is to play defensive 100% of the time. I have to constantly switch bars to keep myself up while the templar can just sit there like a *** and spam one ability and do 3 things at the same time with the press of one button.

    Yeah this guy just got prison <sniped> by the only viable skill Templars have left..

    Yes by all means nerf that sucker immediately!!/shifteleventythousand...


    Sad thing is I bet he kept running straight at the player using it on him and never tried to range him at all.
    Players like this are exactly why nerfs happen.

    You're right, you definitely should have just auto won that fight since you're a DK and he wasn't.

    You could try not calling people "***".

    As for PvP combat, roll forward into the Templar as soon as the animation starts for that ability (no collision so you can pass right through other players) then hit the opponent immediately with a knockdown or some other strong form of crowd control, since the Templar will be stuck defenseless in that animation and have to then turn around 360 to target you again.

    If you lost to a Templar on your DK you are doing it wrong..

    And to see a DK say Anything about any class needing a nerf is fantastic!

    Also, it seems one or more abilities of the templar are bugged, because i've witnessed many times how you can magically get your move speed increased by 1000%, and take fall damage.

    Yeah, the templar needs a nerf and the bug that causes us Dragon Knights to fall to our death because our movement speed is increased.

    I would LOVE to see the CC removed from puncturing sweep, because it lasts for a second and pretty much means your opponent gets a free and easy CC immunity afterwards. As for the attack itself, it's very easy for people to miss all or most of the jabs by moving to the side, through the templar, or back away out of melee range. In fact, usually the only time I get off all of the hits is if I use the skill after a stun.

    As an aside, this guy clearly has not been hit by biting jabs yet from a stamplar. My puncturing sweep hits like a wet noodle compared to that :)

    He's doing 7k from puncturing sweep alone, not to mention the bug.

    Make every templars day and get the CC removed from that ability. It would be a buff not a nerf.

    Let me guess, you play a skyrim nord dk with a big 2 hander sword and a bad build?

    Maybe you should realise when everyone's making fun of you that you're simply wrong and this time actually just need to learn from your mistakes, such as don't just stand and constantly take a frontal cone attack to the face.

    As i've said before, i tried circling around him but it did work. Learn to read.

    I use a similar build like this one:

    No one should have a spammable ability that can STUN, HEAL and do a fuckton of DAMAGE at the same time in one ability. DK, Sorc or NB doesn't have it - neither should the templar.

    I will take a nerf to puncturing sweep if we can also nerf wrecking blow, crystal frag, surprise attack, flame lash, focused aim, and a number of other things.

    Put on some nirnhoned and win.
