First things first, ditch Dark Flare. It's not worth using in a trial because of the cast time limiting your mobility, and it's unable to be easily animation canceled.

Next, you have too heavy of defense for a trial. You have 2 healers which should be keeping your health up. Remove Breath of Life but keep Harness Magicka.

Next, remove Structured Entropy, and instead rely on Potions for Major Sorcery. Please note that you only really have to do this in vet trials, vDSA, and vMA, because other than that, content can be beaten without them (even vDSA, you might only want to use those potions on the bosses, because I've done it all without Major Sorcery)

Right now, you have 3 freed up slots.

First, move Inner Light to your Dual Wield bar, as that's where you'll benefit from it.

Then move Ritual of Retribution and Channeled Focus to your Destruction Bar, as they don't get cast much, and they just take up room on your main bar.

Next, Rearming Trap grants Minor Force, which is a huge dps boost. Put that on your Destruction Staff Bar. Supposedly, double slotting Guard also works well.

Still, you need 2 abilities on your main bar. So, slot two DOTs for maximum effectiveness. Put on Blazing Shards and Reflective Light/Vampire's Bane.

Then, move Shooting Star to Dual Wield bar for more damage. Then put Nova on back bar in case your team needs it.


Bars should look like:

Dual Wield:
1. Puncturing Strikes
2. Blazing Spears
3. Reflective Light
4. Radiant Oppression
5. Inner Light
U. Shooting Star

Destruction Staff:
1. Rearming Trap
2. Wall of Elements
3. Harness Magicka
4. Ritual of Retribution
5. Channeled Focus
U. Nova

If you're unfamiliar with a trial, or aren't comfortable with keeping alive, swap it with Blazing Spears, and move Harness to front bar, and Blazing Spears to back bar.

Get comfortable renewing your dots, because Templars have a lot of them.

Thanks for that sounds doable as I struggle with speed on bar swiping. Re champion points any pointers there also julionus over tbs but both will have thief Mundus is that OK


Thanks for the details breakdown
