    Tried that load out and it doesn't work. Sorry, temps still need buffing. Maybe a speed buff, some sort of immobilize or a stun like fear, ruin cage, fossilize, agony. I don't k ow who you are theory crafting with but that set up is doo doo. ;) lay off the Blinksy YouTube videos and you'll feel right as rain.

    There needs to be a reclassification of certain abilities. Abilities such as biting jabs, radiant destruction, soul assault, and rapid strikes shouldn't receive the thaumaturge buff. That passive should only be reserved for moves such as poison injection, searing strike, blood craze, brawler, etc. And damage has been reduced in Cyrodiil since the creation of the Light of Cyrodiil set; therefore the 5 piece really needs to be cut in half.

    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.

    This all sounds good until you get hit by 1 cc. Then all that healing and protection gets turned off while you get hammered. One more cc and no stamina

    Agreed. And since CC is extremely popular in pvp (and for good reason) i really dont think OP tested that build. Sure, standing back in crown would help but then again there are stronger skills for that situation.

    As a long time console magicka Templar I am so proud that my build is now the flavor of the month. Entropy-Reflective Light-Soul Assault-Radiant Oppression forever! I can't wait until the angry messages I get when that is on someone's death recap.

    People act like CP double buffing is in any way "op" , however it's actually fair now because skills like jabs get double reduced by CP as well. ( reduce incoming magic damage and reduce incoming dot damage).

    I absolutely love the concept that a *** spamming puncturing sweep should hit for 5k 5k 5k. Then finish it all off with a totally undodgeable and unavoidable 18k blindly used channel that tracks you through los.

    Everyone has a spammable skill, so if we're going to complain about jabs, then we might as well complain about every single target attack in the game. I agree about Radiant Destruction though, it is pretty ridiculous.

    I know, it's great! Haha. In all seriousness though, while a good argument can be made that Radiant Oppression is the single best skill in the game, there are others that are equally devestating and less situationally dependant as RO. Fear, while I don't think technically does any damage, can lead to a virtual insta-kill on anyone not used to dealing with it. Also, getting hit in the chest with a huge purple crystal that roots you in the ground for about 37 minutes is pretty darn devestating as well. Let's see ... there are also the wrecking blow spammers, shield stackers, and even archers that can kill you from, what, 40 meters away?

    There are about 10 attacks that can be legitimately argued to be the best in the game. (What the heck is a Velocious Curse anyway?) Every class does, and should, have one. Yes, maybe there isn't OMG SKILLZZ involved in sitting behind friendly meat shield teammates, spamming RO and watching people fall over 20 meters away, but how much skill is really involved in using any of the attacks I already mentioned?

    In PVP, at least, the only real way to judge skill is based on who is left standing at the end of whatever type of battle you're currently engaged in. If spamming RO is my most likely way of being that guy, I'm going to use it. Conversely, if you are choosing to bring a toon to Cyrodiil that doesn't use one of these types of skills, hey, that's your choice. Just don't complain when you get fried by people who choose to the best skills provided for them.

    Lol I'm well aware that stamina builds are trash in the next update, but we'll get our love in the dark brotherhood update though :-)

    Unlike some of my fellow stamina users though, I don't hope that they'll make us OP (although they probably will considering every change they've made to date). What I hope for, is that they'll finally balance stamina builds with magicka builds.

    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.

    Funny Sorcerers were never that strong. As for Templers this patch, chalk it up to class balancing being with addressed with each content DLC patch.

    If game balancing combat team was made to address each problem on a weekly basis a lot of problems wouldn't occur.

    Being that neither can be dodge rolled, I suspect my success rate wouldn't be very high.

    What are the "billion" of other things you can counter with exactly? I'll settle for couple lol.

    That's WAY too much damage for blind skills that don't require any skill to use.
