Despite the current imbalance I am still having fun and finding success with my main, my beloved StamPlar. However there are some pain points. In lieu of a full class rework, here are some QoL wishes I'd like to see for Templar. This is from a PvP perspective.

In-class Major Evasion. My suggestion would be to put it on Solar Barrage

In-class snare/root immunity. I'd like to see it on Cleansing Ritual.

In-class Major Breach. Backlash is a good candidate. Javelin another good option.

Remove the "charge up" requirement for Backlash's bonus damage (adjust TT as needed).

Make the Major Brutality from Jabs last a full 20 seconds (or "while slotted on either bar").

Radiant Destruction: turn one morph into a stamina melee instant-cast ability (adjust TT as needed).

Thank you have a nice day

No, god mode is exclusive to the dragonknight.

This wouldn't make Templar anywhere close to godmode. Just some utility that other classes such as Nightblade get to enjoy without going outside of their class.

Aren't you the person who argued that the crystal weapon is overpowered? Look at the auxiliary features; what you're doing is just playing with words.

Accuse me of playing with words while putting words in my mouth. Read that thread again and quote me where I said CW was overpowered. What you perceive as playing with words is really just a lack of understanding on your part (evident from the CW thread as well). Google Dunning-Kruger.

Most of the stuff I listed I already have in my plar build.. I just have to use weapon/guild skills to get them which is a bummer. For me personally none of this would result in an increase in power. It would just increase class identity since I would be using more class skills to achieve the same buff coverage (ex: I'd be getting Major Evasion from Solar Barrage rather than Blade Cloak). For my Backlash and beam suggestions I did say adjust TT's as needed.

Templar identity = sitting on a rune and punching people.

Care to explain how that would make templar god mode??

With these features, space will be freed up in skill inventory.

Besides, didn't you read exactly what was being requested? Do you simply not want to see it? Anyway, the Warden revamp is scheduled for 2027. If you're patient, you might get these features by 2030.

Exactly. You're too out of your depth to speak intelligibly on the topic.

Let me explain exactly what you want: to free up inventory space for the "scribing" skill alongside these great features. You want to pull off the scribing skill, Ultimate, and Backlash combo—using Rallying Cry, MA, Monomyth, and Balorg while standing on a rune—to kill people with Backlash and Jab, and then teabag them

I don't know, I don't do that on my templar at all nor hold block. That's probably why I think it sucks. But wait, if you stand still and someone comes at you with corrosive you're pretty much wrapped up.

You want to pull off the scribing skill, Ultimate, and Backlash combo—using Rallying Cry, MA, Monomyth, and Balorg while standing on a rune—to kill people with Backlash and Jab, and then teabag them

The build I had someone test on a pure class templar for me had a 64K radiant glory and jabs at 7.2K (not fully buffed, not in a group). That was an all-out glass build. And, while you could jab people to death. To get that power you needed to not be absolute glass, and even then damage to a blocking target (tank) was only around 3k ticks each jab tick.

Ultimate still hit like a wet noodle, though it did kill that DC emperor dude on PC NA in a 1v1 (Im-whatever his name is). Backlash was still a joke and unusable, scribing skill was strong on paper but didn't do what jabbing more couldn't in the same instance, etc.

Now, that was an extreme build that I had a "pro" templar test out since they were capable of running those builds with 9k resistances and not instantly dying even to the emp.

And you know what they said? They said that templar sucked, pure class was trash, and it was too much sacrifice for that power. They also said that radiant, despite its tooltip was absolutely useless in reality. They said a tank build was more useful because templar damage sucked and made little difference in outcome even pushed to the extreme

So when you come and post an inferior build damage-wise, you have to expect that someone will start questioning if its true or not. Just post video of what you are claiming. And again, I keep saying it, but if what you are saying is true -- where are all the offensive templars? I cannot find them.

Beyond that person testing that build for data in Cyro, I seriously doubt anyone has seen many or even one templar build offensively.

The problem with templar is that it simply does not have damage in a pure class scenario. No good ways to stack instances of damage, and thus no good performance in this current direct-damage focused environment.

To alleviate that you need subclassing, because not even the stronger proc sets can reliably bring parity between templar and other classes in the damage department.

And that's precisely why you don't see them. If I go extreme on a DK with the same method I used on that templar, I'm whipping people for over 27-30K -- not even joking. And then there is access to corrosive to ensure it. Class is bad tbh.
