I'd say not using any healing skills might be a start but give us a little more info. What type of character are you? magic or stam? What kind of armor do you have?

Block, slot shield / healing skill and use potions.

Put points on passive abilities. Try to get green gear close to your level.

If you use weapons, their damage scales from stamina.

If you use staves, their damage scales from magicka. So invest your attribites in either of them, not both.

If you ignore to slot defensive skills, block or dodge, blame on you. Slot at least offensive buff skills that boosts your damage.

Seems like the first thing to do is decide if you want to be a magic based character or stamina. What race did you choose? The passives of that race can help you decide which way to go and what advice we'd give you. For example if you went magic I would suggest taking puncturing sweeps instead of biting jabs since your attacks with it will heal you.

Also, at level 27 you have access to 2 skill bars now so you could put some healing skills on that bar. The Templar has a shield skill you could use for now too. You really don't want to use just damage skills. Ideally, you want a good blend of damage, buffs, sustain, and damage mitigation.

When you get better you can run without a healing ability as the mobs will die so fast, but until then you should really slot your healing ability. Templars get access to an early and effective healing ability, and you should take advantage of that until you unlock Vigor and/or Rally.

As a Breton, you should probably focus on magicka, since their racials favour that. It's definitely possible to go stamina too, I've done it, but you'll be gimping yourself to some extent. Trying to mix magicka and stamina isn't recommended, since hybrids don't work very well in the game although with experience you can complete a lot of content with them as well. Still, keeping it simple at the beginning is probably best.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "20+ area zones", since all zones are the same level now, and you are scaled up to them until you hit CP160. The zones used to be divided by level, but not since One Tamriel.

I mean in the second zone.

Breton's are primarily a magicka based race. All the passives will benefit you as a magicka character and not really help you for stamina. I don't want to be someone that says as a Breton you have to be magic cause you can play however you please. You will however benefit more from magic play than stam. Breton's as Templars also make great healers.

If you go the magic route here's what I would suggest for now:

Craft a 5 piece Seducer set in light armor. Feet, legs, sash, gloves, robe
Craft 3 piece Magnus. Heavy armor head, Medium armor shoulders, Inferno destro staff, and resto staff

The sets will help you sustain your magic really well on your journey to level 50. For magic you'll want to focus mostly on light armor but you'll also want to have medium and heavy armor leveled up for later. Once you hit 45 you can do Undaunted quests. There are 2 passives in that skill line that greatly boost magic, health, and stamina based on how many armor types you are wearing. You'll be glad you wore 5 light, 1 heavy, 1 medium by the time your undaunted is rank 9. Trust me.

If you're magic then you'll want to focus on staves for now. I suggested an inferno but you could do lightning if you wanted. Leveling up resto is a good idea in case you want to heal dungeons and such down the road also there are some skills that could help you stay alive.

Some skills to focus on would be:
Annulment- Light armor skill. Gives you a really nice damage shield. Harness Magicka would be a good morph to take
Puncturing Sweep- great damage and your primary heal.
Reflective Light- Great dot and a boost to crit rating
Blazing Spear- your primary AOE
Wall of Elements- Destruction staff skill. Morph to Elemental Blockade
Channeled Focus- Great for damage mitigation and gives you back magicka
Radiant Oppression- Your execute
Inner Light- Morph of Magelight from Mage's Guild line. Gives a nice boost to max magicka
Shooting Star- Mage's guild Ultimate. Gives a boost to max magicka and is a very powerful single target ultimate
Elemental Rage- Destro staff Ultimate. Probably the best ultimate in the game

As mentioned this is if you go magic. These skills and armor working together should make you feel much more powerful and help keep you alive

Which second zone? Stormhaven/Grahtwood/Deshaan? It is the same level as the first, all of them are, as I said. The mobs are all CP160, and so are you, thanks to battle levelling (that is, your stats are artificially boosted until you reach that level yourself). This is true of the whole game, not just the main alliance zones.

Stormhaven, the mobs there are harder then in first zone.

You are battle leveled to 160CP just like all other enemies anywhere you go. I believe I saw though that if your gear doesn't match your current level or at least close to it then you will be weaker than mobs. Make sure you have leveled gear

A magic templar is much easier to solo with than a stamina templar. Consider respeccing. Main reason, you can use Puncturing Sweep which heals you. Considering your going magic, then the following rotation will keep you alive and the mobs dead as long as you don't run out of magic

1. Reflective Light (also boost Spell Crits)
2. Puncturing Sweep
3. Don't matter
4. Don't matter
5. Breath of Life (I always put my healing in slot 5 so I never have to remember where it is across 14 characters)

Weave in Light or better Heavy attacks in between 1 and 2 and you will find things going differently for you. And, use a Destro Staff for that. For slots 3 and 4, there are a lot of templar and destro staff skills you can put in there. Then you will be deadly.

Thanks for the info.

my 3in1 build (dd, tank, heal):
1) Inner Light, Structured Entropy, Breath of Life, Radiant Glory, Puncturing Sweep; Soul Assault/Shooting Star
2) Purifying Light, Blazing Spear, Radiant Aura, whatever, Channeled Focus; Soul Assault/Shooting Star

"whatever" could be Rapid Regeneration, Sanguine Altar, Inner Rage or something new and experimental. Most of the time it's Charging Maneuver )

This build for solo worldbosses (most of them), Craglorn solo questing, group dungeons. Also this build can easily replace any role in group dungeon if someone leave, even in some veteran dungeons.
