Question...what's your CP, mundus stone, and whatnot?

Also spicy vid, Akinos!

Thanks

Pretty solid stat sheet, very tanky, lot of sustain.

Not enough add-ons, you can still see the screen a little.

xD. Could be worse, I could play with the camera zoomed all the way into the back of my characters head like some people do, you wouldn't be able to see anything then!

Get back to your console! PC players are so skilled they don't need to see the action! Text based MMO's are the true test of your mettle!

What resource bar mod are you using there?

Bandit's User Interface.

Thanks I'm gonna check this out. I always preferred that type of bar display in other mmo's since it covers the immediate peripheral better than bars at the bottom of the screen.

DF and it's cousin snipe can be fun lol.

But without ability to move or defend passively, they are reserved for tower farms and gank openers. I'm glad akinos can fit DF into the rotation; that defile can be sexy.

Takes-No-Prisoner · May 2018

There was a dude who posted a vid of himself on here ganking with DF(was awhile ago)

It was inspirational to watch

More people need to be like him (and the OP) I also like how different / weird the OPs build is. Wish I could play Templar in PvP. Can't stand playing it unless it's grouped.

Also I wouldn't call Snipe a cousin of DF. That would be an insult to DF. DF actually has good counter play, maybe too good, where as Snipe/Morphs really does not have counter play when multiple people use it in large fights.

That was mr.nobody I think lol.

I'm working on a Monk stamplar for PvP, but it's hard to nail down sustain/defense/DMG without giving up hard in one. That's my main pain point for Templars in PvP, to get strong in either of the main facets of PvP, you have to drop hard your stats in another.

I think mending passive being global would help out all Templars with stamina sustain procs given to burning light would help out Templars greatly looking to run around by themselves.

but it's hard to nail down sustain/defense/DMG without giving up hard in one

Yup, ran into the same thing with my MagNB. It has the other two, but lacks DMG, come Summerset, I can swap the sustain for DEF/DMG. However~ NB has access to so many tools for sustain, it won't really even matter. Which makes it easier to do.

The problem with Templar as a class was the sustain. This is why I like Cloak, it provides so many psychological advantages and LoS advantages, that when there is a switch over to Templar they always gotta eat the poison procs from weapons among all of the other incoming damage/de-buffs. Which brings me to my rant of the class:

Rune and Ritual. I never liked these skills due to how mobile Templar has to be in PvP openworld. These skills provide buffs when standing in them. So even if your dude is built to sustain, you end up casting MORE spells to clean off incoming de-buffs then you do actually surviving/dealing DMG. Having that sustain feels like your crapping it all away just trying to stay alive half of the time.

It feels backwards.

Completely agree. The classes that have a stamina ignoring defense mechanic are king in PvP.

If I could, I'd rather swap purge for another defense, but it's hard when you're class has no mobilty mechanic outside sprint and you have no unique stamina resorce return to offset your stamina pool costs.

It's crazy some people think this is ok lol

@DeadlyRecluse also has been known to dark flare gank. I forget his highest, but it’s somewhere above 20k. I love when he sits on the walls, I tank, and he ganks.

rofl, 2 hitting a 720+ cp guy with dark flare surprised me too.

Baconlad · May 2018

Dark flare ganking can be fun!

23k was my highest on a poor CP 100 somthing

Next patch dark flare gank should be better too.
Pro tip? Completely drop all care to defense except mist form and honor the dead. You die alot. But only after you take out five to six players. In trouble? Mist form has a bug that if you can manage to not get a dot on you, you can push crouch and mist form, you might go into full stealth while four guys are smacking you...pretty fun. Stealth pots....Stealth pots are you friend

Yeah cause that is definitely not an exploit...

Lexxypwns · May 2018

@Akinos it seems like you’re trying to recapture the AoE CC that blinding flashes used to give. I wonder, wouldn’t morihaus be superior to mad tinkerer? You can slide 3-4 well fitted in and have that as an on demand Aoe CC. The added max stam can let you run Maiden in place of Shackle which lets you recoup the damage loss from switching Tinkerer for Morihaus.

I’m not knocking Tinkerer, but if you’re looking for a CC set Morihaus seems like it is more useful since you both control the timing and the aim.

I thought about that set, but it has health rings which we can't do anything about atm. I also almost crafted some light eternal hunt for the same reason, to have an aoe cc that allows me to turn and start attacking. I dunno if either of them would be any better though. I might try them sometime soon.

I saw how mad tinkerer stunned them all, alright. But there was pretty much zero advantage by that proc.

I uploaded it for the laughs dude, there wasn't any advantage to a whole group of stunned DC because my group was on the other side of the tower getting zerged down like I was. The clip wasn't supposed to be serious or epic but I t was the only other example I had. If you fail to see how good tinkerer is on a outnumbered magplar then I don't know what to tell you.

IKR? Errbody being so serious today.

err -you obviously posted the video for a reaction or do you just want applaus?
actually you say you uploaded for laughs - ha.... ha....

How about find 8-10 of the best PVP'ers you know of via guilds, forums etc and try?
THAT is 1vX! - Otherwise its 1vPotatoes like all these videos.. Anyway, have a laugh as you say.
So dont expect us to be impressed but sure have your fun - nice story but noone is so serious here.

The 2nd, shorter video was uploaded for laughs, had you read the whole thread you would know that.
And since when did you become the final say in what a 1vX is and isn't? Again, if you actually read the thread I already stated that 1vX has never been against good players and it probably never will be. Every 1vX video ever made is a 1vPotato..nothing new.

And I don't make videos to impress or get a reaction, it's called a hobby. You know, for fun. You should get one.

Well you just defined your "1vX" as 1vPotatoes and I've seen that definition for years - not me trying to have a final say.. Its nice to know you have 1 hobby uploading laughable videos - cool story - stop ordering people to do the same.

Whenever I tested Morihaus, the CC radius seemed pretty small. It wasn't the human wrecking ball I expected.

Not to mention how many times I rolled backwards despite walking forward...

Might be able to play around with ghoul eyefood, assuming you get your stats.
Not a bad suggestion; morihaus AOE CC's without cap btw. So you can cc an entire ball group running in a line lol.
