@Aett_Thorn sorry about that, I'm an imperial templar, PVE and PVP, I want to throw in a few fighters guild skills too, as I'm a Vigilant of Stendarr type character.

The first skill in the tree, Ransack, is a great taunt and armor debuff. Shield Bash is probably a decent skill. The passives that reduce ability/block cost are a must. 1h/Shield is a good option survivability-wise for tanking, but if you're looking to DPS, I'd honestly recommend you look elsewhere. To DW or 2h, perhaps.
You will definitely never be a DPS machine with at 1H+Shield build. I have a level 40 templar that is the most survivable character I have but takes the absolute longest to kill anything. I actually switched it to a more DPS type of role using aedriatic spear to help with DPS and some healing.
