Im Currently on 1750

I had this same thing happen the other day, it was pretty funny actually. Me and another templar got in a fight upstairs of some building in IC, went on for about 10-15 minutes. Neither one of us could close the deal, we eventually just bowed to each other and went on our way.

To that DC templar, good game man, good game.

Hi, the problem of healer vs. healer has been there much longer, not just since the patch!

The main reason is that the Templar class has no class burst damage and "real" healer's don't spec for stamina (Wb, etc.).
A templar with 2 swords, resto, or destro staff, has no access to skills as Crystal Frag or Grim Focus, so magicka Templars rely on a combination of so-so damage-abilities´, none of them "really kicks b..ts."

Blazing shield has been stampeded into the ground by ZOS policy of the "downturning of absorb shields + pvp dmg nurf, INSTEAD of simply balancing absorb shields as hardened ward"... that's another looong story, NOT in favor of the magicka Templar!
Important CCs as root or AE-CCs are not relly there, exept nova, sun fire, blazing spear, but only Explosive Charge, Piercing Javelin, or Punturing Sweep offer "serious CC", so use them.

I left out Jesus Beam, as nearly every class has it's own finisher. Unfortunately, only Templars have one, which puts them into great danger.. beeing interrutable. Also Dark Flare can be interrupted but if you're a good templar, you will know, which skill you can interrupt to your favor and, most important, when to do it!

Maybe, this is the only solution to win templar vs. templar: to interrupt/cc at the right moment, in order to use Dark Flare and your ultimate (Nova, Ice Comet), combined with weapon attacks with disease damage on it, so you put up some anti-heal (~45%) for your following finisher or skills. (Interrupt with charge + bash-attack, or with poison arrow/crushing shock).

The other way is to fight for resources, so if the other templar is poor and can't afford "good pots", or he has only 1000sth magicka regeneration, he'll loose.
I'd say Templar vs. Templar is one of the best fights you can get in PvP, as you'll easily see, who is a skilled player and who not, and a lot of skills aren't only instants (as sorc), so you can really use all game mechanics!

Well, if you take 2 magicka builds with reasonable survivability in their set up(healy templar for example), they where never able to kill each other 1v1 in ESO. No one dies until one guys fails his stamina management, pretty much.

In 1.5 those "duels" also took forever, resto heavy spamming and stacking shields for half an hour, everyone running max crit def on top.

In 1.6 was equally pointless due to nirnstack giving everyone 50% spell res(even in light armor) and of course shield stack. People talked about crazy burst in 1.6, but I could still tank other magicka users to infinity.

So no real difference now. We still cant kill each other. Major thing that prolongs the fight is Harness Magicka/Dampen Magic I think. Cant break each others shields down, cant out dps each others healing. The blanket nerf to dmg surely didn't help.
