Well the PTB has a great future for my Templar

DarkStrifeYT · May 27

So I gave the PTB another go just to see the full werewolf kit on the templar and checked the full class Mastery for the templar. The class masteries actually help the templar for burning light heavily with the dps. This didn't just help my nearly 11 main templar from retirement, its what was always needed for it
Especially with the new werewolf model. This is going to not just be a great update, but one of my favorites. Thank you ZoS for making the future look brighter for the templar.

You mean templars might get their burning light back? That would be a huge improvement. They never should have nerfed it to begin with. Now we just need to get ZOS to bring back the spear of light for jabs animation. The night hollow stave for jabs with the digging motion is asinine.

Ironic that the fixes for Templar are really as simple as undoing the nerfs to burning light, jabs and beam.

I just hope they kind of continue with the direction class mastery appears to be going with…

Bastion of Light

Sacred Ground is now also applied while you are in your own Nova and Spear Shards, and while Radial Sweep and Solar Barrage are active.

While Sacred Ground is active, you heal for 1498 Health every 1 second. If you are at full Health after being healed from this effect while in combat, you also gain 2 Ultimate.

Their whole “build your house” theory was/is dumb and unpopular. BECOMING the house (trailer? We want mobility) is cool. Now make Cleansing Ritual move with you. Make Templar a beacon to follow on the battlefield for your allies and a walking meat grinder for your enemies.

Also, with the Light Weaver passive (Activating an ability with a cast or channel time while in combat causes you to automatically block all attacks at no cost for 2 seconds, up to once every 15 seconds.) and the class mastery Steadfast Candesence (Sacred Ground now activates and refreshes itself while Bracing (holding block). Increases the amount of damage you can block by 20% while stationary) grants a measure of passive Sacred Ground, which is great. This should be fleshed out more. Again, Sacred Ground that moves with you = cool. Punish the enemies near you and protect your allies near you. I’m not against having like a gigachad “house ultimate” or something though. Make Repentance a channeled PVE “Siege Shield” for super mitigation or something. Just don’t make it the whole class.

If you’ve seen “300” or are a history buff, I think we’d rather be King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae, not…Thermopylae itself.
