    Templars weren’t wanted for no other reason than because they were melee. Now everyone is melee, so people go with whatever hits the hardest.

    When 2/6 classes are doing leagues better than 4/6, the 4/6 aren’t underperforming… they are the standard, the 2/6 being the minority, are overperforming.

    No, this was the case when everyone was on daggers with a 2h back bar. Everyone was melee and Templars were still unwanted because their damage ceiling was lower. I’m not defending the logic here, just starting the fact.

    I was hitting much higher on Templar than on Necro, personally, because I had practiced way more on my main. Believe me when I tell you, no one cared. Most end game groups would rather have a 110k cro over a 120k plar. It’s stupid, and I’m not defending it, but that’s how the game is. Imbalance in damage ceiling matters to people, and those imbalances are sometimes quite dramatic.

    Yep, and if you are a pve stamplar you end up being the disowned cousin. 1 templar healer is usually all thats requested for the average trifecta etc trial group. I’ve been lucky to be in a group that accepted my main, but even in a melee meta people will adk for pretty much any other class. These days I even see requests for parse dk to fill any dd role that isnt bringing support/specific buffs

    If you’re balancing the class specifically around trials, I guess you could argue it, yet when you push 4-man content with a 3-DD spec, like a lot of Unchained Progression groups currently. Having two Templars in group with Extended Ritual is preferred, as they have a large group heal and their main spammable heals them, making the class highly sought out.
