Hello!
Just like in title. I want to try Sustain Dps build on templar and i need help. Most of the builds are for endgame(vet +10 builds) and non of them explain how to survive in early stages of the game(since i like to play solo and i dont want to be 2shoted by bosses(not the ones in group dungeons of course).
I have started as Redguard. Now i need advices what skills do i need. Since i want to do Dps do i need to wear medium or can i go for heavy armor? Also i am using Rushed Ceremony if my hp goes below 30-40%(tell me if this is a good idea to use it, how it will work later in game and if Honor the Dead morph will work on me.
I was thinking of going 1/3 attribute points(1 health/ 3 stamina). For weapons: i am using 1h and shield. As secondary i was thinking about 2h or bow(2h for finishing skill)
Sorry for any language mistakes.
Cheers!

    Hey man! Glad you are choosing the under-rated Stamina Templar B) We are extremely effective in leveling and end game content - both PvP and PvE. I have tried a lot of builds and would be happy to offer some advice.

    First off... I'd recommend that you use 2H as your main and Dual Wield/Bow as your secondary. Drop the 1h/S. I liked the look and was sad to let it go this last patch...

    I used 1H/S in the past and blocking was seriously nerfed this most recent update (no stam regen while blocking). Instead...we want to utilize our dmg reduction skills and heals rather than focus on our shields. You can still block with other weapon types but it takes more timing to block the big attacks. We just can't hold the block button down anymore. Think of blocking like bashing - SITUATIONAL. The only 1H/S skill I still use during some end game boss fights is Absorb Magic - (morph of defensive posture/stance)

    I said we need to focus on our dmg reduction and sustain/heals so here are some skills I like to use for leveling/PvE (some used in my PvP builds but that is for another post!):

    2H:
    Brawler (morph of cleave, amazing spam button against groups of mobs, gives dmg shield)
    Rally (morph of momentum, + dmg, + heals)
    Critical Rush (gap closer, big dmg)
    Wrecking Blow (upper cut morph, single target stun and massive dmg)
    Executioner (the execute one lol).

    DW:
    Quick Cloak (big speed boost and AoE dmg reduction)
    Steel Tornado (probs the best 360 degree AoE in the game, good dmg)
    Hidden blade (good range dmg if you don't use bow)

    Bow:
    Poison injection (dmg over time, put on mobs before fight and when they are low health)
    magnum shot (knockback)
    snipe (big dmg)

    Aedric spear:
    BITING JABS!!! (our bread and butter skill frontal aoe, so so good)
    Ultimate - Empowering Sweep (good dmg reduction, ok dmg output)

    Restoring Light:
    Honor the Dead ( spam heal for leveling builds, a lot of people will disagree but it got buffed and very useful for soloing!)
    Repentance: (most important skill for templars, use it)
    Purifying ritual (ok for leveling builds, heal over time area and removed negative effects, good for running through mobs that slow you down)
    Channeled focus (so important, gives you HUGE physical and magic resistance and HUGE magicka regen)
    Ultimate - Remembrance (gives you an extra life... heh, super heal!)

    Dawn's Wrath:
    Ultimate - Solar Prison (good dmg, but not very good in practice)
    I only have points in the passive that reduces global costs. This skill line is not really good for Stamplars.


    Play around with these skills and see what you like. I'd run something like this for leveling:
    2H bar: Brawler, Critical Rush, Rally, Biting Jabs, Executioner Ult: Empowering Sweep

    DW Bar: Repentance, Honor the Dead or purifying ritual, Channeled focus, Steel Tornado, Hidden blade or quick cloak Ult: Remembrence
    Bow Bar: Repentance, Honor the Dead or purifying ritual, channeled focus, poison injection, snipe/magnum shot


    Lots of info, but hope it helps! B)
