My healplar runs resto/destro of course but since dps is your focus, I'd recommend destro/destro for a couple reasons:

1. As a magplar you have plenty of class healing.
2. Running destro/destro gives you the ability to put EleDrain on your back bar (where it belongs with a 24 sec duration). It also allows you to put Blockade on either bar you want.

I would avoid DW altogether. No longer an extra slot compared to staff and I think you give up too much flexibility just to get that small passive DW bonus on your 'off bar'.

My bigger question if running a dps magplar would be lightning/lightning or lightning/fire. I can see pros/cons of both.

No one dual wields, especially in PvE

Just wondering which set would be better for a magicka dps templar. I feel destro/destro is best for magicka dps templar but not sure about other players opinion.

Destro/Destro - PVE
Destro/Resto - PVP

Use what fits your character, which could be many more options than those listed.

Found the bow tank

This,
Resto back bar and you are an healer. Don't back bar resto unless you queue as healer.
Level it up and learn to use it, you might need to heal, healers also has shorter pug queues.
Templar has plenty of healing skills to so you can always add an emergency heal.

Idk what that has to do with what I said.

You're right but I was just making fun of the "play whatever you feel like" types

Thanks for all the reply guys. I've tried pvp with DW & it just sucks. I agree, pve = destro/destro & pvp = destro/resto. You can become a semi-healer bcause of the templar skill line & bcause players just keep doing constant dmg to you & ur teammates.

With this I can do world bosses by myself, I can kill zergs by myself.
