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.
If you are stamplar just respec now. It is not feasible to wait for any improvements. Might as well ride the tide while the wind blows in our favour.Yea but magicka templars are like the definition of glass cannons with that approach.

Excuse me. I wanted more DPS for Stamplars. And better ressource management.

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.

I was close.
Substitute choker for Hat. And they only come in reinforced, which is terrible for light armour in particular.

Actually when I do encounter a player that does roll out of the way of my Jab/RD, this is exactly what I want. They spend resources, then continue playing defense to avoid Jabs/Dark Flare/Toppling and I have the momentum to keep pressuring him til he dies to my RD when hes 25% health.
OP words about Templar buffs have a certain ring of truth to them. I've already re-adjusted my skill set and picked up the alternate morphs to BoL/Channeled Focus/Crescent. Might as well dabble before TG comes out.

Wow. So how long does this tactics take before he is in execute range? As opposed to CC, WB, WB, Execute - <2 seconds? Or the Snipe and Poison Injection combos from 40 meters - <2 seconds, dead before I unsheathe my weapon?
Yeah, so OP indeed.

I also main a Stamplar and want more defensive utility (fix blazing shield, bring back blinding flashes) and resource management. Damage can be pretty beastly already. What good is MOAR dmg on your stamplar if you still die immediately?
