R Templars good

Even so, you block my attacks while doing crap damage. I am Parrying (I have 3.1k CONSTANT Parry) while doing good ammounts of damage with my Greatsword.

 

You realize that many skills dont work without shield right? Using greatsword all the time,is just noobish. I use shield and mace most of the time but there are moments that i switch to greatsword "socketed full crit" and rape ass with break power.. But using greatsword all the time? = laughs*_*

 

No sir, I know how to switch between Greatsword and Shield very easily, in one second I can switch to shield do a skill and switch back already.

 

If you know how to use macros,then why disagree with me? I never said that macros are bad. Meh.

 

IMO, no need to put full block to weapon and shield. cus with full block set (5parts) u already had 3100 block
socket MR to the shield so u dont need to buy 2 shields
if u use Sword then put crit to it. if u use mace, put MR.
i use MR weapon and shield for my temp so i have 1750 MR with plate set. can resist some stun and debuff in battle.

p/s: doom lure + shieldburst = inescapable
p/s2: breakpower dmg is ridiculous high.

 

your describing my temp there ^^

 

Macro?
There's no need to make macro for such an easy action...just press Shift+Z will do (in fact, just remove the Shift and make it Z only, will save you another 0.0003 second).

 

Macro for changing set..Talking about switching from full block gear to parry set + great sword,macro is fast..

 

seriously ... with that ABG and ULTRA STATS FROM GS I make something on your block and parry ..

 

On gamez all classes are good, just gotta wait for updates and see which one they bugged so ****ing bad they are uber, then get your credit card out and BAM your the ****ing king.

 

Wait...you can't be serious? The last two updates and blocking is still not fixed? Are they just purposely neglecting this stat here on Gamez? I haven't actually tested blocking within the past two updates but prior to that I know for sure that blocking wasn't working right in Lumiel. Can anyone else who's a Templar confirm if blocking is still not negating the right amount of damage as well as not having the right amount of blocking percentage capability.

I'll do a test again myself but if its true, we need to seriously address this issue to Evilset so that it finally gets taken care of once and for all.

 

block is still not working. it blocks about 20% of regular dmg. (+15 ABg shield gives +20% block dmg) so i think the problem is shields have 0% basic block dmg instead of 50% (ABG)

 

what he said...

 

Anyway, rather than blocking 70% while doing shit damage, I prefer walking around permanently with 3.1k parry (2.6 or 2.8k when I am on shield) and when I'm in a pinch just to switch to mace/shield and activate Steel Wall Defense for 3k+ Block and 2.6-2.8k Parry. D:

 

It's all preference and we're going for retail anyways. Things should be working correctly, and blocking is one of the key most vital points to the Templar class. What if your specialized more towards Shield then GS? Given its good to try and go both with a hybrid type, however for me personally I lean slightly more towards shield base and using GS when I want to be outside of melee range (extension GS) and KD skills.

Just imagine if we had the 70% damage reduction on our ABG shield actually working correctly, along with 3k+ block. Then taking on characters who have less then the 440 stat separation. Even with a Sword/Mace and not doing significant DPS I would become a nightmare to try and kill. If Temp's blocking was working correctly, I'll state this now, you'll be seeing much, much more talks about them in the Big Elites here in Gamez instead of the usual norm.

With Shield block being noted to not produce the 50% bonus damage reduction (speaking of ABG of course) then their is obviously a huge handicap here for this particular class. I'll definitely do some numerous test later today when I'm not busy, however if this is indeed true then I'll bring this up to Evilset to have it fixed immediately, and I also feel other Templar players should do that as well. Blocking has been implemented incorrectly for so long now that I'm starting to think its some sort of conspiracy going on with the Mods.

Again, the only reason why Parry is so favored right now is because its actually working correctly and close to retail like while Blocking isn't. When you get Blocking to work right and the fact that it'll have a 50% chance with the right situations in contrast to Parry which only has 40% you'll be seeing a greater variety of what a Temp can truly do, and more importantly just how powerful they really are.

 

I thought I've said it before... we need to adapt on these bugs and find another solution. This is the solution I see to these bugs now.

 

they are support/ tanks/ dps depends on the build.

 

We've been adapting, but that doesn't mean that it can't be fixed. Everyone is adapting right now, and has been for a long time now. Parry is the only solution in contrast at this point, nobody is denying that when Blocking is almost next to useless right now. However this thread isn't about adapting its about fixing what isn't right to be correct.
