Since The Elder Scrolls completely lost its identity, and for those of you who say otherwise, please, help me understand the logic behind my new build:

• Necromancer – A class rooted in forbidden arts, considered heretical in most parts of Tamriel (except among the Telvanni or certain regions of Elsweyr).
• Templar – A holy warrior devoted to divine light and the will of Stendarr, known for violently opposing necromancy.
  

I mean, on that front at least, we kinda have Vastarie. ESO's proven that the school of Necromancy being Evil is an exception, not the rule. Are most practicing Necromancers using it for neer-do-welling? Yeah, do all Practitioners HAVE to use it in an Evil way? No. Even just summoning a Spirit for questioning is considered Necromancy.

Actually come to think of it. A Necromantic Templar Warden would make the absolute ultimate Priest.

Still more coherent than a Templar that wields a Nighthollow Vampire staff instead of a spear, and we didn't need subclassing for that one... nor for their silly change of DK from fire/earth to fire/poison to accomodate the original cp split, which isn't even relevant anymore now that it's hybrid again. Class identity lost coherence long, long ago.

A Necromancer Templar Warden mixed class is called a "mage" who has learned a set of skills of his choice - one could be the flame-based Destruction Spell called blazing spear, another is probably a Conjuration spell (skeleton or ghost?), and certain healing spells such as Heal Other or Grand Healing from restoration or Courage from Illusion.

I am sorry you cannot visualize a mage who uses those spells, haha. They're not uncommon spells in TES.

For my part a jeep would probably make me cancel my subscription, but that nearly happened with the Flowerjiit during the anniversary so eh.

The in-game description of a templar is "These traveling knights call upon the powers of light and the burning sun to deal massive damage to their enemies while restoring health, magicka, and stamina to their allies."

There's no mention of where their power comes from. It could simply be what will later be called destruction and conjuration magic, but if they need a diety or patron of some kind Meridia or Magnus are options (both are associated with light and in some interpretations Magnus either created the sun or is the sun). Followers of Stendarr natrually attribute their powers to him, but that doesn't mean everyone using similar abilities has to follow him.

The same goes for nature magic. The Wyresses, Spinners, Druids etc. each have their own take on it with different beliefs about who are where their powers come from, even though the end result is largely the same.

I don't think a templar necromancer is necessarily any more contradictory than a templar vampire, or a templar in the Dark Brotherhood, both of which were already options. If you're not happy with the way you've built your character the solution is to change them to something you are happy with, but I think it's worth remembering most of the lore was written to accomodate the single-player TES games which mostly allowed you to mix-and-match skills as you wanted, so there's a lot of freedom in what you want to do, it's just a question of how you explain it.

(My templar is a followed of Azurah, who channels starlight rather than sunlight, although she learned from other mages in the Guild that both are tears in the Mundus leading to Aetherius, created by the Magna Ge, so it comes to the same thing in the end. She respects S'rendarr as much as the rest of the pantheon, but has no particular association with him.)

One could be a healer that focuses on light, death, and nature.

One could also be an ice cold dps with summons that occasionally uses spear skills.

Subclassing is whatever you want it to be.

Play how you want personified.

still wait for my dwemer Gundam or sniper gun...

What you refer to as "classes" has never been a core part of The Elder Scrolls identity; they are an addition specific to The Elder Scrolls Online, designed to create more complex thematic abilities that fit the MMO genre. Multi-classing has long been a feature in games like Dungeons & Dragons, and diverging skill trees have been integral to many series, including Final Fantasy and Path of Exile, so I don't see how sub-classing in ESO would be in any way outlandish.

Exaggerating the absurdity of combining those three classes, which in fact can actually thematically work well together, is an example of a straw man argument. Additionally, suggesting that sub-classing could lead to the inclusion of modern weapons is a slippery slope fallacy; such drastic changes will not happen.

You're not arguing in good faith. If you want to have a constructive discussion about "class identity" and thematics, it is best not to distract people from that discussion by adding in red herrings like suggesting the inclusion of modern vehicles and weapons. Otherwise, no game developer worth their salt will take you seriously.

A mage. You are playing a mage.
Nothing wrong with a mage that can use the power of aetherius in the form of sun magic alongside necromancy. Just ask the Ayleids.
