Which would you choose for Templar class only, and why? PVP, PVE, Solo.

I'm having a hard time deciding which race. Decided to get some info/opinions.

    Argonian is best for heal, but altmer is better for dps, more versatile and just slightly behind argonian for healing.

    PVE Argonian for their more balanced passives. Max health, mag and healing recieved as well as the resistance to poison too.

    Most importantly though, that swim speed :D

    As some who primarily plays non-cp campaigns, Altmer is a must for that juicy regeneration.

    In the end i always go altmer for mag templar, simply for the fact that i don't feel like that the slightly higher flame damage that dunmer gets is worth the Sustain that altmer offers. The difference between the two is very slim though.

    I'd say:

    Argonian for Healing/Tanking

    Altmer for DPS

    Breton if you plan on PVPing any of those roles regularly since it lands kind of in the middle of either of those 2.

    Without a role specified, I'd say Altmer. They have the best passives of the three for DPS, solid sustain, and strong passives for a healer, so they can most easily fit into a bunch of roles, while being quite strong in PvP.

    For specifically a healer, I'd go Breton, and if you want to be a tank or a PvP healer, then Argonian.

    High Elf for PVP/PVE Damage.

    You could go Lizardplar, and be a PVP blazing shield support player.

    Breton
    Anyone of them really
    Breton for PVE - I have one and it's great
    Argonian for PVP - better raw heals. Although healing in PVP can become boring quickly so that is why I chose Breton over Argonian.

    Breton - Okay bit of extra beefiness, nice nice sustain and a middle amount of damage up between the two
    Argonian - Universal stat sustain, bits of extra beefiness and their heals are super effective on themselves in particular.
    Altmer - Raw damage up, glassen jaw with high magicka related stats, unfortunately their elemental damage up isn't as important to templars as only one spell in the class actually does fire damage.

    Assuming magicka build cause of the races chosen, I think Argonian is favorable for solo/tank and Altmer is favorable for damage/healing. Breton is an inbetween, think that kinda shoehorns it worse into healing rather than other options. 'course PvP is a different animal and Breton's recovery stat up is nice for that.

    That depends and what you are going to do. If you are going for max DPS - altmer.

    Argonian for awesome healing boost and very good resource management.
    Probably safest choice since argonians currently are good "all around" class. And btw. even if you chose argonian you will still be able to decent dmg. Enough for PvE, group dungeons and for PvP - very fast alliance points farming with resto staff :smile:
