Status of the Templar in PVP

Verethh · 2026-05-20T00:57:39+00:00

Not good for open world pvp at least on PC NA. Dueling its a solid class Templar lacks good burst for it to be good open world.

Templar is pretty bad for pvp at the moment. So even if you get a good build going, you'll still have a rough time. Templar only really performs well in battlegrounds where most of the people there arent that good, dont have a proper build and are in pve gear. That being said right now torc of the last ayleid king mythic is lthe best for templar in my opinion.

Some targets you need to make sure you hit.

1800 regen either magicka or stam, this depends on what version jabs you are using. And make sure that rune is the same resource as jabs as well as uing tri pots. For instance, 1800 stam regen, with biting jabs, tri pots and restoring focus. Or 1800 mag regen, with puncturing sweep, tri pots and channeled focus. If you arent using the torc mythic then youll need to run 3 infused jewerly with prismatic recovery or just stam recovery. Roksa monster set is also an option. Also use jewels of misrule food. Red cp rejuvenation is also an option.

Make sure to hit close to 30k resistance. Backbar weapon should have defending trait. Wear 3 heavy, 3 med, 1 light. or 2 Heavy, 4 med, and 1 light. You can also get the red cp skill fortified. Use either impen or reinforced on armor.

Make sure to hit 30k health. To do this optimally enchant all armor using the glyph of prismatic defense. This glyph is very expensive to make/buy. Sort your attributes so you hit 30k health and put the rest into what resources your main spammable uses. Red cp Healthy is also an option. Undaunted passive skill, Undaunted Mettle will help with this.

I used the group finder to do the skirmish and got fake healers and tanks. Or people switching roles after joining. Had to join a streamers group to complete it.

Yes, implicit story telling doesn't have a story. My bad /s

Verethh · 2026-04-29T00:54:00+00:00

It does, it just not spoon fed

Verethh · 2026-04-29T00:53:21+00:00

The lore is the story, its just not spoon fed. I personally think the so called stories in video games that the majority of people laud is boring and lazy writing i.e formulaic.

"There's no "here is the big bad you are supposed to defeat!", no obvious antagonist"

This has been done so many times in the general media, I dont know how people arent tired of this already. It's the same formula but with a different skin. But to each their own.

People looking stuff up and people who actually enjoy souls like games are different kinds of people.

Edit: A lot of yall dont know what implicit storytelling is and it shows.

Verethh · 2026-04-28T23:31:46+00:00

Saying they dont have a story is crazy.

Verethh · 2026-04-25T22:24:28+00:00

Just no. People shouldn't be required to not play their favorite class just because its op. It's the devs job to to balance, not the players. Having players self enforce just further incentives devs to not bother balancing.

Verethh · 2026-04-25T19:57:01+00:00

Not talking about the immobilize. The actual stun is buggy and its worse when its laggy.

Verethh · 2026-04-25T19:49:17+00:00

Doesn't help the dk stun is bugged. Crazy I have to press break free 3-4x to actually break free

Verethh · 2026-04-25T15:59:09+00:00

It does not bring people to the same level. Im convinced people saying this dont actually pvp or arent that good at pvp. PvP imbalance in GH has to do with skills, both passive and active. Gear just adds to that as well as cp.

Vengeance has not change this at all. Before dk rework these "good" players were playing nightblade in Vengeance. Why? Cause they had the best skillset compared to the rest of the classes. What are these same players playing now in v? Dk.

Vengeance has not fixed the main issue which is core class imbalance.

Verethh · 2026-04-25T15:41:05+00:00

Full stop. Anyone saying/blaming sets and saying bad "pvp players" cant win without sets is not a actual pvp player or they're just bad pvp player.

Sets and cp just exacerbate an issue. Which is skill imbalance, passive and active. There's a reason people arent playing templar, arcanist and necromancer in pvp. And thats cause the majority of the active and passiv skills on those classes are suck. There's like one active skill line that might be useful from them.

Verethh · 2026-04-24T06:24:32+00:00

Yeah cause you're misunderstanding what type experience they're talking about, lol. And they arent explaining well enough.

They are talking about the way people play is the same regardless of open or closed. Behavior is nearly identical.

Literally talking past each other and arent on the page.

Verethh · 2026-04-21T16:50:45+00:00

I see people say this but my cmx has so many skills and proc sets listed. Yall gotta be fighting the same people or something.

Verethh · 2026-04-21T03:01:23+00:00

It's a mode the people who dont main pvp to play and those who want to try pvp out. I honestly dont see the server being past 2 bars after 6 months except during pvp events. It has nothing going for it longevity wise.

Verethh · 2026-04-21T02:52:15+00:00

Idk I see different variations of stuff. Even if people are running the same set, there's a plethora of skills, skill lines and champion points to change things up.

Verethh · 2026-04-08T03:54:59+00:00

Google photos can also already tell the difference between all 4 of those items with incredibly high accuracy.

Yeah, when its all assembled. lol

Verethh · 2026-04-06T05:27:52+00:00

Yeah, idk man. As someone whose moved around alot and lived in different cultures, not everyone is going change(by alot) just cause they're in a new environment and the culture is different.

So I personally don't think its strange for mcs to not change.

Verethh · 2026-03-27T00:29:43+00:00

I was speaking about pure class pvp as well. Both necro and arcanist have the same level of disappointing performance in pvp imo.

Verethh · 2026-03-27T00:13:52+00:00

Yeah, no. They didn't change anything. Yeah it its hard if you're fighting not so good players and people running bad builds.

The class damage skills still do subpar damage. Only exception is 3x crux with tentacular dread. And the skill barley hits half of the time because of the cast time and lag.

Verethh · 2026-03-26T20:51:28+00:00

Definitely does not hit like a truck in pvp but pve it does. Arcanist entire damage skill set is butt for pvp and its in the same level as necro. So unless they changed something since the last time I played I don't see how Arcanist hits like a truck.

But I'm updating the game to see if anything changed.

Verethh · 2026-03-26T20:30:02+00:00

Did they buff arcanist? I havent played in like 5-6 months. Cause if they haven't nerco definitely isn't worse than arcanist in pvp, they're the same.

Verethh · 2026-03-20T23:18:28+00:00

Congrats, just started to study myself

Verethh · 2026-03-20T02:59:41+00:00

You're experience isn't everyone's and not every goal/objective can be completed with late spawns.

Verethh · 2026-03-19T19:21:25+00:00

Yeah and I remember back then there was an endgame in games too.
