Magicka Templars will be the most OP build in the game

Nope not a troll post. Here allow me to break it down for you. Jabs, and Radiant Destruction can double dip from the Champion system allowing you to increase the damage of your main attack abilities by around 44%, your rune not only gives you major defense buffs, but gives you minor protection (+8% damage mitigation) and increased healing (which the magicka templar still has the strongest heals in the game). Now with this in mind, your main DPS attacks are also channeling abilities, meaning with the Light of Cyrodiil item set will give you an additional 25% damage mitigation as long as you're attacking, and this set also gives you spell damage, max magicka, and max magicka again, so you won't be lacking in damage either.

Do you hear this Templars? You get to dish out an unbelievable amount of damage while being un-killable, and you're still complaining why?

I hope everyone and their mother uses this build because it's stupid OP and needs to be exploited in order to get fixed. You're welcome.

    Yeah, I've been saving up for light of Cyrodiil. Wanted that way before the "rebalancing" with Thieve's Guild. Should be fun for a month or so till it gets nerfed.

    If it was true (which it isn't) let them be OP for at least a year just like stamblades and magicka sorcerers have been. Im gonna turn my templar to magicka and im gonna come and tell you all how balanced this game is and you just think templars are stronger cause we are better than you and you should all L2P. You'll see how it feels.

    Hmm, if what you say is true then the only logical course of action is to somehow nerf stamplars.

    Definitely, this game hates stamina so it would be the expected course of action. Good point sir.

    Yea but magicka templars are like the definition of glass cannons with that approach. They will be easier to CC and burst if they stack everything into magicka and SP for dps. They have no pro-active defensive measures to prevent being instagibbed too.

    Still though, this is pretty much exactly what I feared from this update. None of us wanted more dps we wanted more defensive utility for Magic and Stamina Templar and instead they gave us a damage boost which I fear will be nerfed shortly. :/

    Right, because Templar balance should only consider healing, fireball lobbing mages. Templar balance shouldn't factor in Stamplars or Tankplars. No that would be a bad idea.

    Edit: I should point out that once I'm done maxing Thieves Guild skill line and finishing the TG story arc I will probably go magic spec to take advantage of the current favoring of magic in their game design right now.

      Minor protection is an excellent defense buff. The lack of expedition and major brutality is pretty stupid though.

      Brb changing to Magic Templar.

      Might as well just nerf templar again, any time someone dies to a Templar there's another call for a round of nerfs. Frankly it's getting old. Every magic class benefited from the CP changes, DK just as much as the Templar.

      Yeah I don't know why ZOS is so terrible at balancing, and they display a clear lack of foresight when they make changes. I just want things to be balanced. I don't want my play style to be OP. I just want things to be balanced. I also want ZOS to have a backbone as well, and don't nerf balanced abilities just because people whine about them.

      You are a year late with this build. I was running it right up until IC. Still have the whole set in the bank. It was alright, but damage was a lot less than using willpower jewelry + other sets, so eventually I dropped it.

      In PvP you are eventually stunned, out of stamina and melted.

      You really think that 8% buff on Rune Focus makes a difference? Which adds up to only maybe 5% more mitigation since it is multiplicative?

      Quit theory crafting and actually try this stuff out.
