Kill Me if You Can

A 1H/ shield build for an imperial templar however nord would work as well. Start of PvP with casts of both, into puncturing sweep/low slash SPAM dump stamina and magicka completely then werewolf transformation and spam claw ability. Once turned back if they aren't dead magicka should be restored so spam puncturing sweep even more, toss a heal if needed and use next ultimate on PI.

dps

my dps hotbar for orc templar. start with stampede into enemy, dizzying swing to knock back and stun, vampire bane to slow and DOT, then biting jabs to finish them off (super high crit rate on low health enemies). Blazing Spear for ranged AoE for tagging enemies.

Questing Templar

I switched to this build at VR3 and things became much easier. I can only imagine how it does in low level content. For this I wear 5 light and 2 heavy pieces with a focus on magicka. I'm big on crafting and have been doing all crafts, so this is kind of a minimalist build. My lowest craft is enchanting, which is at 38. The rest are at least 40 which is all you really need for any of the crafting skills.

Rotation is Dark Flare->Invasion->Crescent Sweep->SPAM Puncturing Sweep. Bash if low on mana. Repentance when done.

My basic light attack is 92dmg, heavy attack is 222dmg, and bash hits for 220dmg(with no bashing jewelry). For me Crescent Sweep is back up after every fight with at least 3 enemies. The last spot is up to you, maybe for an emergency heal or whatever. Personally I use Retreating Maneuver as a luxury skill.

On a side note, I did not list all passives as for some reason this only goes up to 100 points. I had 122 by the time I hit VR1.

Sun Saint

A support healer and Cc oriented build for 12-man content

Templar orc

the first bar is Tanking sword shield and focuses on charges, taunts and damage reduction. the second bar is with a restoration staff and focuses on healing (obviously). 1st bar mostly used an heavy armour is to be worn (to maximise tanking ability). i just put the attributes equally as i am unsure.

Templar Healing focused

Just a build for myself that is largely inspired by the recent Dreadnought article on the ESO website: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2014/07/22/battlemasters-corner--the-dreadnought
