Summary of Wrobel's Comments on Templars from ESO live

--The Breath of Life nerf was so that each class can fulfill each role. So it was a good thing to do to promote diversity, says Eric.

That is it. He said nothing about fixing Templar bugs, nothing about the Global Cool Down on Toppling Charge, nothing on the Templar lack of mobility or CC or the double nerf to Templar skills in PvP. Nothing on how Templars are supposed to fulfill the other roles when their skills are slow, weak, channeled, and bugged.

RIP Templars. We hardly knew ye.

Note: I just listened to the part before questions. Not sure if any of the questions answered anything else.

Templars are 'just slower... by design'

    Edit: Someone asked him won't it suck if a Templar tries to heal and knocks people out of Rapid Maneuvers?

    He's 'happy with it', because that means that people will use Honor the Dead, since it will only knock one person rather than two out of Rapid Maneuvers!

    Awesome stuff!

    So, let me see if I understand you right. Templar healing has been reduced to be on par with every other class, but escapability, DPS, burst and sustain have not been increased to to be on par with the other classes?

    Yeah, happy my question was asked to him, but I'm furious at his response, though that's not a big surprise. Even if his ludicrous idea of using honor the dead was remotely viable, you STILL can't guarantee that it won't end up healing another player that ends up being lower on health than you, and thereby both removes your rapids and keeps you at low health because your heal just went some where else. I legit feel like we're being trolled by him.

    Wrobel mentioned the idea of adding an AP cap. Anything is possible in the mind of ZOS.

    Sigh.... it seems they hate templars while they love Sorcs/NB/DK.....

    Or more accurately they hate Templars powerful supportive/healing skills.

    They didnt even bother buffing the dmg on other skills to bring it on par with other classes, or bother to fix the bugs the Templar class has.

    Long story short:

    Zenimax Online Studios simply does not care about the Templar Class and they proved that over and over.
    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    I just want to know who the hell thought all of this was a good idea.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    It definitely was, in the context of damage shields. It seems Eric just doesn't like damage shields, because they interfere with spamming Wrecking Blow. Now that last part he didn't explicitly say, but he was asked a question about damage shields, and he specifically mentioned the idea of making them have timers so they are not that useful in combat; they would be more for out of combat casting.

    He definitely said that. Listen to the broadcast.

    Well, this entire community wants nerfs

    Ergo, instead of buffing the other classes' healing abilities, they're gonna nerf the healer class

    My sorc alt just hit VR 15 today.
    I would still appreciate a class change @Wrobel, for the sake of all achievements and quests and time I invested in my main character. Buffing other classes' healing while Templars have next to nothing besides that is a slap in the face of every player who still thought the class is ok as we at least had the healing niche that made us unique.

    Sorcs have mobility and awesome shields + the new BoL.
    Nightblades have cloak, some nice abilities for sustain and leeching health and awesome passives.
    Dragonknights have good defenses and now have proper shields and buffs for healing.


    So what is unique about the Templar class? Are we the only class that has to stand there and can be bashed while casting/channeling?

    Q: How about Toppling Charge? It is not 'completely fixed'... when will it be?

    A: Our patch note wasn't specific enough. We fixed the issue of unresponsiveness when you weapon swapped (it would take a long time if you weapon swapped). Now it is more useful if you want to charge and swap. There are still some issues-- some weird terrain issues. But we'll inform users more to let them know when they can't charge. And there is also server lag so it can't draw path data for any abilities. So there's definitely more complicated issues... and they are complicated. We'd like to get them in but we're doing a lot of things.

    Nothing about the Global Cool Down. He didn't even acknowledge it.
