Templar v8 soloing dark anchor in 50++ area

Hello guys, being inspired by all those videos "guy soloing this or that" i came up with my own video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fntxpFvVX6Y
I think this video proves that templar as a most underpowered class atm has it's own strengths, the major of which is survivability. Alas, this fact doesn't help us when it comes to single target dps, but...you know. We're all looking forward to new patch notes!

Quick siphon is a bugged skill.
Try without Quick Siphon (or any other bugged skill).Edited by captain_awesome on June 15, 2014 6:31AMDominion FTW.0 -
Wtf ESO has 10 skills you can use without lag?!
I thought we only had 5 laggy skills with 2-3s swap delay.
No wonder you can solo anchors, that's like God Mode.Edited by murklor007neb18_ESO on June 15, 2014 6:35AM2 -

not trying to be the advoactus diaboli but what are the sources of his survivability? quick siphoning spam + elemental ring dotticks procing that heal, rapid vr5 panzee of life spam and vamp ulti at a dolmen with few fire mobs and surprisingly/suspiciously low HP. and do not forgett before the changes to ultimate gain (3points/crit + siphoning granting ulti aswell)Hello guys, being inspired by all those videos "guy soloing this or that" i came up with my own video:

out of the 3 used templar skills one is entirly useless - channeled focus - as he immidietly steps out of its effective area, one is quite a waste of magicka - blazing spear - wich is purely used for additional ticks of quick siphon as its dmg is rather low. and last but not least honor the dead wich was his life saver quite some times but wouldn be needed if he would have effective ways of armor increasement and HP buffers, dmg mitigation etc. so in short what he has done is up to every class as all have access to the skills used and the few templar skills can easily be substituted with in most cases far better skills.
beside that none the less well done.Edited by Tankqull on June 15, 2014 7:19AMspelling and grammar errors are free to be abused

Blazing spear provides some good dmg because of the burning light passive, which every dot pulse has a chance to trigger. It's one of the templar's best dmg abilities atm. Channeled focus was used purely for gaining magicka which you get even when out of it's area.

chaosme✭✭✭You can actually solo a dolmen with a mixture of fighter guild skills. Use evil hunter for stamina regen + extra damage and silver bolts to knockdown stuff. Combine with crushing shock to proc evil hunter. It will be a bit harder if you encounter mobs that cannot be CC such as storm atronachs and harvesters.
Also, dolmens spawn less mobs if you only have 1 or 2 players.1 -
yelloweyedemon✭✭✭Yay another cloth wearing dual staff wielding <insert_class_here>
Love 3shotting you guys in pvp!
PS: Showing some skill is not playing the fotm set-up. Any class can do that when "exploiting" the light-armour & staff combo.1 -
Thechemicals✭✭✭✭✭Destro/resto works for any class. Elemental drain+impulse and Siphon+regen is all you need. You dont even need spear shards or rune focus in your lineup.Vr14 Templar since release- dual resto

Melee is working as intended. Do you really think you should be able to solo veteran DAs?0 -
Jimm_ay✭✭✭How is light armor and staff and exploit? If you can three shot them in pvp what are they exploiting?0

lao✭✭✭✭How is light armor and staff and exploit? If you can three shot them in pvp what are they exploiting?
incase u havent noticed by now, the newbies in this game call everything they cant comprehend an exploit. or anything that ppl do more efficient then they do themself. or anything that doesnt involve monotone boring quest grind.....
well basically if u dont play exactly as they demand you to play, your´re exploiting.
since ZOS refuses to silence them for spreading that bull**** its probably best to just ignore their opinions entirely and not give them any undeserved attention.0 -

Exploit does not always mean "against the game rules or something"..
Light armour and staffs is an overpowered tactic currently *pve-wise*, because magicka builds are superior to stamina builds due to game design. When people are aware of that and they keep using the armour-staff synergy to show off, it can be called an "exploit" because you rely on game mechanics rather than player skill to beat PvE content.
Anyways how many "I solo'd that" video's we've seen where players using staffs and light armour?
PS: I did not mean ANY offence to the OP on both of my posts. Just saying that this is nothing new concerning the current game situation. I believe that class ballance is not the issue, but magicka vs stamina. (And I'm saying that as a NB player)1 -

light armor+staff is the current fotm build. thats not even remotely close to beeing the same thing as an exploit. most of the ppl on this board throwing the "exploit" phrase around dont even know what an exploit actually is. infact in most cases their general understanding of the game or the mmo genre alltogether is so extremely limited that it would be better if they didnt post anything at all.

Channeled Focus is the best mitigation skill with added benefits in the game a templar has access to and has huge duration. Blazing Spear is the single highest dps skill the templar has with all its added overpowered benefits. Learn to use it and qq less for templars having low dps. Honor the Dead has the highest healing per casting time ratio in the game and no amount of damage prevention can replace the need for healing.
I am not saying the rest of your post doesn't make sense or the whole premise of it, but on these 3 skills you can't be more wrong.0 -

not denying that - does he make use of that mitigation warranting the skillusage - nope as he is immediatly running out of its effect area. and the tousy 200magicka regeneration over 18sec is everything but nothing substantually. the way he used it blazing shield or blinding flashes would be light years ahead.ysimeonoveb17_ESO wrote: »

ähm jeah... its sole purpose is to proc siphoning ticks and burning light, the random 2sec single target stun is a gimmick but nothing more all classes have dmg abilities providing more dmg over the same timeframe including burninglight procs. and he can´t profit from his own synergy.Blazing Spear is the single highest dps skill the templar has with all its added overpowered benefits.
once again youre absolutly right it provides the best selfhealing possible - but regarding mitigation if you don´t have to heal you dont need the best selfheal ingameLearn to use it and qq less for templars having low dps. Honor the Dead has the highest healing per casting time ratio in the game and no amount of damage prevention can replace the need for healing.
well see above.I am not saying the rest of your post doesn't make sense or the whole premise of it, but on these 3 skills you can't be more wrong.Edited by Tankqull on June 16, 2014 10:50AMspelling and grammar errors are free to be abused

Do you know what the word exploit means? It does not mean that you break the game rules. It means that you take advantage of something. (light armour and staff)
Did you even bother to read my previous post?1 -

@tankqullb16_ESO
Why not slot a heavy mitigation skill with extra benefits - is there a better skill to cover for mitigation?
Why not slot the best dps aoe skill with cc elements - is there a better skill to cover for these roles?
Why not slot the best single target heal - is there a better skill to cover for reactional healing?
There is no way to mitigate the whole damage without the need to heal. It may be the case on easy content like soloing a mob or two, but for an adequately challenging pull, there should be healing involved in some way or another nomatter what your armor and resitances are. You can reduce the needed hps to win, but you shouldn't expect to ignore this aspect. If you can ignore it - then the game has a much more serious problem.0
