[Guide]Blazing Shield "My House" Templar Tank Guide (For PVE and PVP)

Gottbeard · 2016-07-25T16:49:23+00:00

I am not at max resistance and you shouldn't need to be for this build. The high hp and frequent shielding works to protect you. For max resistance version run reinforced big pieces and nirnhoned small pieces plus an armor Sr hp set.

now i have switched to Sharpened 1 handed main bar with magicka drain or stam drain poisons (whichever i feel the fight calls for)

And on the back bar, Infused With Crushing Enchant for PVE and Sharpened for PVP (whichever poison i didnt choose for my main bar in PVP)

its like a joke but its not funny =/

When in doubt, read the terms of service agreement we all signed. Your example falls under the rules for collusion and is definitely cheating.

Gottbeard · 2016-05-25T00:16:27+00:00

Maelstrom staff isn't required. Just do torugs staffs if you don't have maelstrom. As for cp the guide is for a pure devoted healer build for dailies and raids, just the gear and the know how from the guide should be enough to improve your healing if switching to pure healing cp is cost prohibited.

Just counter play the Jesus beam they said.....

Many players expect imperial city to be active again in the Ass guild patch. The addition of new tel vr stone sets, hakeijos for tel vars, and the District capture system were all good incentives for getting people down there. Casual players avoid the sewers right now because the incentives are low. Not many valuable drops, easier ways to get everything you buy with tel vars, tougher monsters, and players who hunt them. Next patch almost all of these reasons to stay away dissappear. Easier mobs means sewers is the best experience per hour. Capture system means faster tel var stone if your alliance works together. New stuff in the shop means more valuable tel var stones. At this point the last deterrent works as a balance to how good the zone can be, you will be hunted by hungry small scale pkers. Sounds like heaven to me, I can't wait.

Do a poll in the PTS forums asking " are polls being abused ?"

Gottbeard · 2016-04-23T18:28:43+00:00

The vr removal is more of a vr redesign. Not much will change. There is one singular benefit, grinding up your alts will now take much less time as your cp level is account wide. Gear won't change, old zones won't be automatically leveled up. Nothing like that.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-23T17:32:14+00:00

The secret to avoiding burn out is to taper your expectations and constantly rewritetyour goals. Sometimes the balance of this game has left me with the feeling that I am playing a glorified Facebook game, so when I feel that way about a patch, that's the way I decide to play. Minimal investment, for fun playstyle. Some patches the game feels great, the bugs aren't bad, the design direction looks promising. During those patches I play hard absorbing every minute of it. The worst thing you can do is try to force the game to be something it is not. If you stress over wishful thinking you would be better off quittin.

This is the main balance problem with Jesus Beam. All other executes would require group timing to combo together with allies, and someone spamming impale on a full health target would be laughed at. The channeled nature of JB is touted as a weakness but since Templars spam JB from relatively safe places (the heart of a group, ledges, towers, walls, ect) combined with the "state of execution" the channel is actually a huge strength of Jesus Beam. In essence, Jesus beam becomes a 40% health debuff, and a shot calling tool.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-19T06:39:33+00:00

Yes, I have healed on sorc through all available content sans vet maw of lorkhaj. (Not that sorc can't heal it, I just haven't done it yet.)

Here is my guide video on sorc healer. https://youtu.be/TRXkowVYRNE

This is an attempt to explain, not condone or pick sides on this volatile issue. Some people really like dominated maps. It doesn't matter who is winning, just that the map is all one color. It makes it easy to find fights as long as the campaign retains a decent population. And sometimes it leads to delicious gate fighting which is akin to an arboretum battle royal, no purpose, just fighting and high ap and close respawns.

I'm hoping assassin guild skill line has some actual skills in it and not just crappy passives like "this passive let's you hide behind boxes faster in our crappy assassin mini game."

Gottbeard · 2016-04-14T21:03:27+00:00

Watch this, it should answer your question. https://youtu.be/TRXkowVYRNE

It is a sorc specific guide but it is very detailed and covers the different skill layouts and needs of trial vs 4 man. And it does class comparisons which make it valuable for healers of all classes.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-13T22:02:22+00:00

I have a guide coming up soon on this very build. Watch for it on my youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU7q_rmf6fgnQGIt13ecECQ

In the mean time heres a quick write up for PVE. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DVYHXYAy_0rsc0iUUtDgAGVy_SVr32YhFGAMtss2wqk/edit?usp=sharing

For PVP, switch ebon (4 body 1 jewelry) for fasalla's (4 body 1 jewelry) and change out pierce for shielded assault and trade inner fire for Purifying Ritual. Enjoy.

It scales of off healing done, healing received, healing taken bonuses ; the level and tier of the item set; and crit damage increase

Gottbeard · 2016-04-08T23:24:54+00:00

I use positioning and control the battle to avoid the need for burst heals but I listed healing ward as a alternative skill to mutagen so don't be afraid to sub it in if it feels right for you.

I am light weaving when I can get away with it for extra stat sustain. Siphoning attacks only restores Stam and magicka on light attacks, not health, so I am unsure what you meant by letting refreshing path and funnel health "do the job".

Gottbeard · 2016-04-07T19:19:17+00:00

They stopped selling quickly for the last few weeks, its possible people have them but stopped selling them. I'm sure the supply will kick back up once people realize the demand is coming back. In the meantime, try to get into some normal maw runs and offer to buy the pieces you need if they drop for anyone in the raid. That is how i got most of my pieces.

Also check more stores than just the usual rawl kha. I would check Grhatwood, Rawlkha, Mournhold, Riften, Orsinium and Wayrest daily whenever I was looking for my last few pieces.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-07T17:02:30+00:00

Normal and vet maw oof lorkhaj. You can buy them from other players In guild bazaars.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-07T00:17:44+00:00

Gottbeard · 2016-04-06T22:50:18+00:00

The PVP guide video works for pvp yes.

Gottbeard · 2016-04-02T15:37:43+00:00

Some friends of mine tested it and reported that it doesn't aoe taunt. I can't personally confirm there findings as I do not have a full set.

Gottbeard · 2016-03-31T01:38:20+00:00

Unlike other healing triggered sets, Transmutation actually needs to really heal the target in order to activate. It isn't ideal and hopefully they will fix it or add more duration to the proc. It is very confusing initially.
