    Now compare ways to obtain Black Rose and amberplasm and You'll know why people runs BR. 25k Tel vars and You have impen pieces when if You want to wear amberplasm and still be heavy armor user You need to farm purple jewelery or weapons with proper trait from RoM vet and You'll not get imen armor pieces. 10 minutes against 10 hours if You're lucky

    I farmed full amberplasm (correct traits) + rings in about 3 runs. Friend of mine farmed it in 2. Others I know of have farmed it in less than 5. It's very easy. RoM is easy, even on vet.

    Still You ned to go there and do this. Many people who plays just PvP is too lazy even for this and dont even know how to play PvE their class.

    Well, the one thing I've noticed recently is that my ranged attacks went from being Dodged, Dodged, Dodged,Dodged, Dodged to being Blocked, Blocked, Blocked, Blocked, Blocked.

    Assumed it was from Black Rose users. Not sure though because there seems to have been a noticeable population shift since September.

    Adding to this:

    As Templars, using S+B let's you gain an equal 15% dmg mitigation on block. Not as high as DK (theirs is a flat extra 20%?), But Templars get it for all melee attacks and S+b grants it for ranged.

    Unlike DK's, heavy armor offers better synergy with Templars:
    - extra healing (4% I think not much but add another 4% from CP and you got a cheap "healers" ring bonus)
    - extra regen from heavy attack plus some extra regen based on hit. (Every little bit helps mentality).
    - extra armor (Templars are getting hit either you like it or not. Having 30k physical resistance = 29% dmg reduction on all sources (after major breach/sharpened applied).
    - channeled focus gives HA Magicka Templars extra regen plus major ward/resolve.

    So for solo/small group Magicka tank Templars, it's easy to see why you should run HA instead of LA. Black rose, only adds extra stamina/regen on blocking, but it's the passives of HA that help not black Rose in this situation.
