Magplar probably won't even be meta next patch with the dot changes. I get this is a troll post but stamblades are still in a decent spot.

This! I feel like people don't even fully understand why magplar was so powerful during Scalebreaker. While I do think some changes to the playstyle need to be made, the DoT meta allowed Templar to apply a ridiculous amount pressure.

The sustain damage magplar almost looked like burst damage. At minimum you would get slapped with Reflective Light and Entropy that hit hard alone. Sweeps was just supplemental damage. Purifying Light was even more burst because DoTs allowed you to build damage faster. And if a magplar ran sets that proc damage(Grothdarr or/and Overhelming Surge) it just felt as if your defense was being eaten alive.

It was like being a wood chipper. The only time I could ever do that before Scalebreaker were against more squishy players(especially in no-CP).

From Scalebreaker all I wanted was an ability that allowed me to go on the offense while on defense. That's where Living Dark came into play. But the DoT meta was actually the thing that overtuned my magplar. And I knew coming Dragonhold all that would end.
