Templar - what to do with it
-
Udrath✭✭✭✭Haven’t really changed my stamplar in years, just added stuff to it. Always ran night mother gaze with a good recovery set and all swift. Switch between shadow and thief Mundas. Then added balrogh and wild hunt and switched to all infused. Switched out jabs for d swing now. For a class that can easily get 7k + spell/weapon damage now, their class damage abilities scaling is trash.Edited by Udrath on July 23, 2023 12:25PM1 -

The class has nothing going for it; mediocre and unreliable burst, a lackluster spammable, poor sustain, and average healing/defensives that're outperformed by most other classes.
I try that every now and then. If I have patience with a class, I get better, but generally I'm just still better on my templar. Except DK. I don't think you can screw up with DK
I'm glad I found a warden build I like before they nerfed Jabs. I main that now, though I'm kinda leaning towards my arcanist now. I'd love to go back to the main I've had since 2015, but I just can't. Not with the new Jabs animation. I still play it, and I can still do ok damage with it, albeit with most of my damage coming from the execute phase, but the new jabs animation is so offensive to my eyes that I just can't play it for any extended period of time.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I tried to full cheese with Draugrkin + Dragon's Appetite, because that used to be quite fun in PvE with jabs.
But I still feel like I'm doing no damage, it's quite wild.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?
Vivec: Worse, buddy. They're buying it.1 -

Against anyone competent, especially people with high movespeed, landing jabs is really difficult. The fact that they hit like a noodle even with da + draugrkin is disappointing (I run this set up frequently with master dw bb)PC NA @gariondavey, BG, IC & Cyrodiil Focused Since October 2017 Stamplar (main), Magplar, Magsorc, Stamsorc, StamDK, MagDK, Stamblade, Magblade, Magden, Stamden1 -
Melzo✭✭✭✭Dot damage from the second branch is too weak. And I'm constantly missing one or two skill slots. I'm playing right now with direct heal and vigor. I don't have slots to put more.1

✭✭I've run Draugrkin, NMG, Shattered Fate, Mechanical Acuity, etc. The damage is unbelievably poor. All can hope for in a 1vX situation is to wear down the opponent. But with sustain really easy to come by for everyone, It's hard to even hope to wear people down. I just quit the fight after a while.
I used to get upset on the forums (and got in trouble a few times), but the devs clearly don't care. I'm not going to waste my own emotional energy on it. I may take an extended break from the game. I don't have the time or inclination to being forced into another class because the devs have gutted my favorite class. I expect nerfs and meta changes, but this is going far beyond simple nerfs over so long of a period.

✭✭Well depending on if they make any more balance changes this PTS cycle; really the class is just flavor on why kind of defensives, utility, and healing you want. Rest of it is just vate ice staff, master dual wield, elemental susceptibility0
