Stamplar has been one of the worst classes in the game for as long as I can remember. Magplar has always been the top healer, and is usually a top tier DD every update (was the top DD for a bunch of updates).

My templar is an imperial stamplar tank with a bit of dps on the side. He is decent at fights with smaller groups of enemies or single target and after getting him to 50 and having a garbage build and gear i decided to finally do something with him because i love templars (templar was my first class years ago). Now that i have him built with a combo of battlefield acrobat, steadfast hero and the bloodspawn set and put all my points into stamina, got all the abilities i need ect he is finally in a spot that I'm nearly satisfied with. I just need to level two skill lines for two other tank abilities and then he will be a triple shielded monster with 2h sword and sword/shield on the back bar. I always play dps but I'm liking my tamplar tank atm and i can't wait till he has these last two abilities to finish him off.

Saying that, I've seen my brother's magplar and when it comes to damage there's no comparison. I've seen him melt large groups of mobs in seconds and soloing public dungeon bosses with ease and downing them relatively simply with a rotation of only four abilities. I'm not sure what set up he has gear wise (julianos combined with something else) or what four abilities they are but all he does is use them with sometimes throwing in a light/heavy attack and that's it. My rotation consists of multiple abilities. First i enter with a shield, get some early damage in with the silver bolt morph that damages near enemies with small bolts, throw the AoE spears, empower my greatsword for 20% more damage and then use a combo of 2h abilities and biting jabs. Sometimes a heal if my shield goes down and I'm fighting a boss but that rarely happens and when i get the other two tank abilities for triple shields i will be taking self heal off.

So in conclusion he uses less abilities than me with little to no defensive abilities and still melts everything he comes across. It reminds me of my magsorc that uses a combo of wall of elements, liquid lightning and impulse that melts large groups in seconds.

So i will agree with tommy the gun that magsorc and magplar are s+ tier and the rest follow but i think all classes are in a decent spot minus a bug here and there. Those two specifically stand out to me through because of the sheer amount of damage they can dish out with not that much effort. They are really fun.
