Templar talent calculator that you will find bellow will help you decide which way you will build this versatile class. Choosing the right skill line will provide you with the ability to tank, heal or do good deal of damage. There are a lot of combinations to choose from and wielding bows and healing your buddies from a distance, or going up close and personal with heavy armor and self healing are all good choices with the Templar. Pick and choose carefully and you can define your playstyle in many ways. We hope the skill calculator tool will help you decide what to do in various stages of your character’s progression.
Data seen in this ESO Templar skill calculator is based off of PTS 3.0 build of the game’s client. In preparation for the release of ESO Morrowind DLC/expansion we have decided to make the default talent calculator reflect PTS skills so you can plan in advance. We will also update it as things are certainly going to change as we get closer to release on live.
ESO Morrowind Update: Skill calculator has been updated to live servers version 3.0.5 data – same as what people playing Morrowind early access are getting. All the spell values (damage and such) are based on the assumption that you have 15000 Stamina, 15000 Magicka and 1500 Weapon and Spell damage. This means that if your character has different values your in-game tooltips will show different values.
AOE Tank, 2-Handed Nord
This build is for tanking multiple targets while being able to dish out some good damage. Mostly for solo PVE but could be useful in small groups or raiding. Good balance between magicka and stamina, so you do not run out of resources too quickly.
The idea is to run into multiple mobs buff up with Backlash to store up all of their initial damage while your HP is still high while you hit with Punturing Sweep until Backlash runs out and smacks all enemies for a good bit of damage. The enemies should be in quite a bit of pain at this point, but you are probably also nearing 50% or lower HP. At this point you switch to the defensive by using Immovable Brute and Blazing Shield which will nearly double your remaining effective health. By now, your damage output has been tremendously bolstered from the effects of Backlash and Immovable Brute, so you swing away at the remaining targets by rotating between Brawler and Puncturing Sweep, mitigating incoming damage while dealing a considerable amount of AOE damage.
When all is said and done, all enemies are dead and you remain standing with enough HP for another pull.
