So I played beta and really enjoyed Templar. That said, I didn't get far, only level 12 or so and after scouring the forums I've made tweaks and changes to what I think works better.
For example I was a Heavy Armor Templar, but after reading about the armor cap, It made more sense to switch over to light armor and 1h/shield for my style of play. So I did that. Now the thing that really concerns me is what I am hearing about endgame.
I plan on having a DPS build and a Healing build.
DPS Build = 1h/Shield + Aedric Spear line
Heal Build = Resto Staff + Restoring Light line
Here is what I am hearing about that worries me.
1. Templars are useless late game. I keep hearing this mainly because of some regen issue or something of the sort, and have heard many comments that sorcs are better healers. It doesn't bother me that a sorc would heal better, it really doesn't as it adds versatility to the game. What bothers me is the comments about Templars being subpar.
2. Templar DPS builds are useless late game. This I've seen pop up recently because of some change with Medium armor? I didn't quite understand it, but again its something I am hearing.
Again, I am simply going off of what I am reading..and yes they are message boards where you will predictably hear more complaints than praises (the people who like it are out playing) . If this is TRUE however, it worries me because I am an MMO Vet. I've learned my lesson about playing a subpar class and hoping for a buff. This is all assuming it is subpar but let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone who HAS reached 50.. please let me know what its like Templar wise.
