    There's no other for hybridplar, but an effective hybridplar is already .75 stamina anyway tbh.

    Noob question, but what is a hybrid?

    mix of magika, stamina and health - pick any 2 out of 3 and try to fill more than 1 role with it.

    I have a dragonknight tank but I really hate dragonknights for tanking for some reason. I know tankplar is the bottomfeeder for tanking but I like it mainly for the theme and to reasons

    I have a Nightblade tank for much of the same reason (and I like Templar tanks for thematic reasons as well). Just sad that the meta tends to disregard themes and do whatever the hell it wants lol.

    It bugs me that seemingly 90 percent of people are vampires. Someone said I was stupid for choosing to not be a vampire for the 10 percent boost. Like I'm a templar dude

    Most people run either almost all their points into magicka, or almost all their points into stamina, to stack stats and min/max. Hybrids mix and match magicka and stamina. We can include health, but typically when talking about hybrids, we're talking about stam/mag.

    Repentance is the worst sustain skill in the game , far from op. Before the nerf it would make more sense saying it was a hidden gem, but right now stamplars are bottom tier for sustain and has always struggled with sustain.

    The main use for my Templar is as a crafter. It does also see use as a Tank or Stamplar when needed but mostly, crafter.

    For the most part you are right, but in endgame pve regeneration has become a bit of a dump stat. All you'll save yourself by running dubious is roughly a heavy attack every ten seconds or so. That is also attack the expense of max health and max stam (the latter factors directly into damage).

    Tbh the *real* issue with a templar is having more than one means someone starves on resources, since the stamina management skill is competitive. That irritates me :(

    I'm not talking about stamplars im talking about tanks. When I'm not playing with a stamplar those bodies are free real estate.

    i don't disagree with you. i was about to edit my comment to add - learn to weave effectively, but you kind of saved me the trouble. ;)

    That doesn’t change the fact stamplar has the worst sustain in the game. Bare with me but but but...pve isn’t the only thing in this game. In even in pve , repentance is only valuable against trash mobs. Every other class have something much better and constantly up.

    trash mobs?

    wait, are you saying you have sustain problems against trash mobs?

    I said it’s only effective against trash mobs , learn to comprehend my man. I also said pve isn’t the only thing in this game, weaving is normal rotation whether you’re low on resources or not.

    Again that still doesn’t change the fact stamplar sustain is bottom tier nor the fact that the general consensus leans towards repentance being reworked. A simple look in the pts thread or any Templar thread will show you this.

    You only aim to be dismissive, but that doesn’t negate the sustain issues stamplars have.

    Ps. Any other class will weave heavy attacks in much better because of the skills they have that compliments weaving.

    I only have a magden atm, but the tank looks really interesting. I love tanking with each class, each one is a bit different =D.

    I recommend tankplar. They have access to major mending, minor protection, major vitality like dks except their skills are alot cheaper. You also have a decent burst heal (not as good as gdb but can be cast on others to put stress off healer). Also prepare to become a lamp because you'll become a large ball of light once your fully buffed combine this with almalexia's lantern for rp reasons and darkness will literally not stand in your way anymore.

    As soon as i get my next alotment of crowns, im gonna get another slot and make a templar tank =D. Either that or a sorc healer / and or tank. I honestly want to have one dps tank and healer for every class eventually. =)

    Healer with a little DPS on the side. Though when I eventually pick up Summerset that may change to healer/CC.

    I tried to do DPS in the beginning. Build after build I tried, and I was hitting like a stuffed animal. I simply wasn't good at cancelling and weaving. I moved towards healing, and now really can't image redoing my main into a DPS.

    My hands cramp and my joints get so painful whenever I try to DPS. Since healer doesn't require a repetitive rotation, this is by far my best fit.

    Agreed. (On Templar anyway, I like DK tanking as well).

    You can make an off healer tank. Might not be as good as a main tank especially for trials but still good for 4 man dungeons.

    Stamina Templar Tank for 4-man non DLC veteran dungeons. Though I also have a Nightblade and Sorcerer tank. I avoided DK tanking because it's the most obvious and most popular choice.

    What makes you think that? They have 1 class line devoted to healing / support and 2 devoted to damage.
