Is there a Spell/Weapon damage buff for Templars?

geonsocal · September 2016

Happy Friday to one and all…if your plans for the long weekend include gaming at least 50 of those 72 hours – I’m soooo jealous…

So, my nightblade has relentless focus, the dragonknight has igneous weapons, the sorcerer has my favorite: power surge (best class buff overall in my humble opinion)…I’m not sure if I’m missing it or not – but, is there a spell/weapon damage buff for templars?

Not really. I get mine from my gear, entropy, and jewelry and weapon glyphs.

Not needed with an aedric spear ability slotted burning light is a huge damage boost when it procs. Also look at dawns wrath ability passive for minor sorcery. There is another passive forget where that increase damage 3 percent on spell and weapon. Just read the passives carefully.

There is no major brutality or major sorcery buff for templars, you know to make them unique (Wrobel). You'll need entropy (major sorcery), momentum or flying blade (major brutality).

Templars use either entropy from the Mages guild line or become hopelessly addicted to skoom- I mean spell power potions.

You can also get a friendly DK to buff you if you don't feel like ending up on the street, begging for cornflowers.

Yes, Solar Flare, does damage and then increases the next attack, but some other Templar skills do not get the buff. But is a good 1-2 combo with something like Pulsar as a follow up.

Solar flare offers the empower buff, not the major sorcery/brutality buffs. Templars do not have native access to these buffs, but they DO have native access to both of the major crit buffs.

Also both morphs of sun fire increase spell crit upon activation

& the stamina morph of jabs increases weapon crit upon activation

ok not major sorcery/brutality as the OP inquired about but very usefull none the less!

geonsocal · September 2016

thanks everyone...

Hmmmm, okay – entropy sounds interesting…I always wanted a good excuse to work on the mages skill line to get the meteor dropping thing, it’s just my Templar already has the whole sun dropping thing already going on…

I was kinda also looking for a little extra pop to put in my destruction staff…

Every now and then I consider taking Structured Entropy off my magicka Templar's bar, because I keep thinking to myself that the damage it does and the heal it provides aren't that great.

Then I remember that it gives me Major Sorcery.
And that it passively increases my max magicka.
And that it passively increases my magicka regen.
And that it passively increases my max health.
And that it gives me Empower on my next attack.
And that it's dirt cheap to use.

Then I keep it on my bar.

SublimeSparo · September 2016

Templars also don't have any form of major expedition either. Because resons.

DurzoBlint13 · September 2016

activating any skill from Dawn's Wrath line grants Minor Sorcery and Dark Flare/Solar Barrage grants Empower as well. And Sun Fire grants Major Prophecy. I use pots for Major Sorcery, Major Prophecy, and ....the one that gives extra Magica regen (I forget the name of it). If you do not want to use pots you can use Structured Entropy and Mage Light

Dark_Aether · September 2016

There is exactly one skill per class right now that lets you know what you are fighting in Cyrodiil when it comes to stamina builds: Hurricane, Cloak, Igneous Shield or Extended Ritual. At least magika has some variety so yeah, I don't mind that Templars have to use Entropy or potions.

100% this. Entropy is the glue that holds everything together. I get 8% more health, 20% more spell power, 2% more magic, empower and a partridge in a pear tree.

People complain about RD but don't notice that structured entropy was the true culprit in their demise. If a magplar was a basketball team, RD would be Blake Griffin and Entropy would be Chris Paul. Unfortunately stam builds are the Cavs, Warriors, and Spurs so ... yeah.

I know nothing about basketball, so I have no idea what you're talking about with that analogy, but I'll assume I agree with you!

It's apt! Haha.

To summarize, Griffin is a really good player known for his monstrously loud borderline obnoxious dunks. Paul is a great player who sets him up for said dunks. They play for the Clippers who are roughly the 4th or 5th best team in the NBA.

The other teams I mentioned are the 3 best teams in the NBA and generally dispatch the Clippers in the playoffs every time.

@danielpatrickkeaneub17_ESO ...not sure what your chosen profession might be - but, you absolutely just sold me...

I want Chris Paul on my team making sure stuff runs right...not quite sure how I'm gonna fit him in to my 1st or 2nd unit though...

for the templar I feel like I need repentance on both, as well as lingering ritual, love javelin for protecting my personal space (also works great for dropping people through the grates at the front of keeps) as well as biting jabs, radiant oppression is a must have and sounds like a need to keep it close to entropy...feel like I need shielding on both bars too...hmmmm, maybe could drop rune focus off one bar...

idk · September 2016

Templars to get a base weapon damage increase from passives. Cannot think of any class passives that increase weapon or spell damage by a percentage other than Templars.

IT sales support!

Here are my bars. Please note I'm weird.

Breath of Life- RD- Javelin- Entropy- Inner Light - Ice Comet

BoL- Rapid Manuevers- Mist Form- Entropy- Inner Light- (varies)

Yes, I double slot 3 things, and I probably 80% PVP at this point.

geonsocal · September 2016

whew, very good to hear about the double slotting...I was a little worried about being alone in that...

some of the folks here have all these mechanics and processes dialed in to the point that when it comes to sharing info on my builds it feels a little like getting naked around some runway models (geez, not only is he fat, but he's ugly too

)

There's a Heavy Armor set on the PTS that grants the user Major Sorcery (20% Increased Spell Damage) for the 5 piece.

However, here's the fun part. The set comes in ALL slots. Which means you can do Jewelry (3 piece) and body (1 head, 1 shoulder). That means you can run another 5 piece set of your choice (chest, hands, waist, legs, feet) ON TOP of that 5 set.
