So... From the last Twitch stream...

Gap closer fix in the works
Jesus beam working as intended
Dark flare 12% damage increase made it into live from the PTS

Is it possible that the Templar house is becoming a HOUSE OF LOVE?!

Thanks ZOS :) Not going to abandon my templar now, just going to make a new one for DPS instead of healing!

    It'll only be the 47th time we've been told toppling will be fixed.

    Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

    Ultimately, any method of entering an enemy keep without breaking down the door is considered an exploit. Thanks for checking!

    Sure, but they could have nixed the dark flare buff and nerfed Radiant :)

    1. Been told it was fixed several times, means nothing
    2. 100% getting nerfed next patch
    3. We didn't ask for a damage increase, we asked for a chance to proc like frags. Not only can you HEAR it coming you can easily see it, reflect it, block it and interrupt it. Insta-frag is hard AF to see coming.

    I'll believe the toppling charge fix when I see it.

    As other said, it was promised many, many times before.
    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.

    I am going to have to try that Dark Flare skill.

    Never had an issue with Toppling Charge in PvE.

    However any improvements to Templars is a good thing.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Just because I am happy with something doesn't mean I am the evil that angered you :o *whistles*

    I didnt ask for the BOL nerf either but it could have been a lot worse...

    Down with Templars.
    Lock them away in their house and have the DKs burn it down. Then have Sorcs summon their pets to s*** on the ashes.

    Dark flare is too slow,in fact a lot of templar skills are just sluggish.

    The Argonian part can get love but sadly it will not save you from the fires

    I have multiple characters but yes I main a NB. I'll just bash you out of your RD because, unlike your failing charge, my ambush works just fine in getting me in your face quickly.

    However, I feel as though I should elaborate on my hatred for the Templar. Since I play Argonian, I have forever been pestered to be a Templar. So, begrudgingly, I created 1. I hated every single minute of it. From buggy skills (Fail charge being my biggest offender when I tried tanking) to slow skills (every skill with a cast time), to more or less being forced to puncturing sweep spam as 90% of my dps rotation, I had 0 fun as a templar regardless of role I pursued. At this point, he's at VR1 and now is a pack mule alt more than anything and probably will remain there for as long as I need him to carry stuff. He's an uncomfortable blemish on my overall enjoyment of the game.

    Time to start looking for all the secret nerfs. Sweeps down to 30% heals this time? We will see...

    The Templar "house", the area of protection being laid down to rebuke those who would step near it, in practice, is a sniper's nest without any stairs or even a ladder down. You sit up there, blast people when they're vulnerable, and wait for your thinly built walls to crumble under the weight of multiple proxy det synced gap closers.

    But hey, maybe heavy armor will get looked at in a year.

    They really do need to make charge abilities function more like teleports, as Nightblades currently enjoy. No ground pathing calculations, no bugginess, just jump up, air-dash, and land.

    I think Templar as a class is fine, the class definitely doesn't require anymore nerfs.

    Unless they are planning on a fundamental change in how charge gap closers work, they will never fix Toppling Charge.

    In the latest twitch stream they said they were looking at resolutions, one option changing gap closers to "teleports" rather than following a path.

    Might be nice not to zig zag to mobs too. Breaks my EMURSIUN.

    But really, breaking all gap closers was a blessing for templars because if ever I think we have the biggest chance of seeing change now.

    Jesus beam working as intended is actually making me consider quiting. I'm sorry but on my DK I can't survive a 15-16k ticket when I'm at 7k health. DK can't dodge, break it, or purge it. Its the only execute I cannot dodge on my DK which is some bull. One jab or one dark flare landed into Radiant Destruction and you're dead... logic.

    Templar gap closer working? :D Good one. Somehow I doubt this will be any different from the last 50-something times we've been told it works.

    Radiant Destruction being good again? Jesus Beam nerf incoming then. Always happens. Curious that.

    Dark Flare being stronger doesn't really mean much. It is still a very slow skill. People wanted a Crystal Frag equivalent proc chance.

    Of course, the Templar's House is still rather unimpressive. I'd rather camp out in the Sorcerer House, if I wanted to survive.

    They say this BECAUSE THEY CANT GET IT TO WORK! Every time something doesn't work they just do something new to it. A teleport is a bad idea, everyone would be cheating into everything.

    I agree about the teleports and cheating into everything, but we already have dks and nightblades doing that. Of course id rather see that fixed or discouraged, but sometimes i just shake my head and think well, whats one more class?

    To be fair, alcasts build was a glass cannon. You can see in his video he almost gets killed by a few shots from a bow user. I think the idea is to balance out templars lackluster houses with beefy armor and still have okay damage, but of course there will be clever builds that stack the excess damage on damage on damage. You just need to chain him in and swipe at him :D problem solved.

    My templar is armor focused healer... i find the average dps of some skills nice. Recently i have been able to put pressure back on attackers. Before the patch i was lucky if i could spam bol long enough to get away or find my group to protect me.

    I agree, dark flare is too slow @Tdroid but i think alcast uses it well. Opening with it from range is a clever strategy... Though the three shot might be a bit much :lol:
