it doesnt take long to roll a new toon and get them to 10 to test out builds, classes etc. I thought I would love a DK tank sword and board as that is what I usually play but found it boring, I now adore my templar/full healer. My templar is a great healer with only two damage spells which allow me to solo content mostly easily tho I do have trouble on some bosses or if I pull too many mobs. I am overcoming that by spending more points into health which I had avoided and spent mostly majicka and stamina. I also am putting more points into passives that give me recovery options and health/armor boosts. I wear mostly heavy armor enchanted with majicka runes, tho i wear some light/med pcs to level those up too. I use my restor staff exclusively, but am currently experimenting with a bow and destruct staff for dps boosts (but find them lacking in this early stage) I use AS first two dps spells for my damage. I also have that undead bow bolt spell.. cnat remember the name on my dps bar which is pretty good.

anyway, shes not the strongest but can hold her own and heals like a champ

I'm liking the Templar so far. In terms of mobs, especially 1 on 1, I feel the templar is very effective. I throw the spear ability (Ardric Spear), then charge (2handed weapon), then 1 heavy attack, and finally focused charge (Ardric Spear). All of these skills interrupt and stun. I use restore sometimes.

As a P.S. I am also playing on a connection that seems to vary from 40ms ping to 300ms ping, so close-in fighting is sometimes a complete joke.
