Are templars the God's they should be yet?

Ok back in 1.5 i know stuns and Magic attacks never got resisted full buffs and all. In retail Sorcs are terrified of a fully buffed Temp and have an extremely hard time even damaging them until there buffs have wore off.

With all the updates is it more like retail now when fully geared+buffed temp is one of the most feared opponents or are they still the bottom of the PvP food chain here?

 

Templars are supposed to be sorc's easy meatshield. In this server a sorc that knows how to counter yr aether armor will get u 100% no problem. Ur even luckier here that Inescapable Judgement still has 100% chance to pull us back. They have never been at the bottom of the food chain with 2 lines of stigmas, ever. (only if they know how to play oc.)

 

Sorry the "us" killed your post. Definitely looking for an unbiased opinion. Anyone that was remotely end game and fully geared in retail knows that sorcs never had an easy time beating end game temps. Ever, not only does end game gear adds may more m.res than a sorc can ever build to counter on top of all the buffs that add to M res even further, and the fact that CC's in Aion natural have a lower success rate to balance them out makes CC's totally unreliable in retail. Also 99% of the sorcs in our server use a Orb over a book which doesn't happen in retail because they will get resisted all day.

So if Temps are still a "meat shield" then I guess they didn't fix anything.

 

I can pretty much destroy a templar without even trying here.


Aether armor is countered easily enough by using Supplication of focus, most templar's also don't fully buff up before I get a tree on them.

Lead up with controlled burst round's and the templar is dead, full 55 pvp gear or not.

Added: That isn't even including the fact that if I -really- wanted to kill them I can pop all my cooldown's and instant glacial shard-> flamespray -> inferno -> etc them to death.

So either way, a templar will never kill me unless he somehow manages to stunlock me before I get him.

 

Unwavering devotion, Steel wall defense, etc. don't work. Remove Shock doesn't work either. I.E. If you can keep the stun lock going, you can kill templars without taking a hit. I'd say they're pretty low on the food change atm.

 

Temp's alway's have & alway's will have prob's defeating Sorc's - But sorc's are afraid of temp's ( I'm talking retail atm.)

CC's do have a lower Rate @ getting the guy on retail - But they still have a much higher pass rate than any other spells.

A good templar here will beat me if i'm not serious enough - Especially with the 2 stigma tree's & fully abyss geared.
A good temp on retail will hurt me - & if i'm not carefull will just destroy me.

 

Templars control their own fights. Their defense is high, but when they attack someone, their damage makes the opponents defense look high also. Lol...
The only way to defeat a templar is to have a pretty decent attack. Or just run until their buffs dissapear.

 

Templars with full Crit builds will steamroll over any class that can't stunlock...

 

on retail when i were 45 i could beat a full miragent armor/weap sorc without problom

 

the problem with this type of threads is that it will just attract sorcerers that believe in their almighty damage and go saying "i can 1 hit killz all you templars" or something along those lines.

it's like all templars are NPCs and only these sorcerers "know how to play". they probably never pvped for real, so maybe never met a good templar :unsure:

if a templar knows how to play, then sure, the templar can win as well. :lol:

 

No, I am not basing this off of the VERY incorrect assumption that I somehow would be able to 1shot a templar with only 10k damage. Here I can easily use supplication of focus to counter aether armor and control them, delayed blast-> lava eruption followed up by a stun/root/sleep OR aerial shackle (varies depending if they already poped unwavering devotion or NOT)

-If aerial shackle I slam them with glacial shard -> Magic fist and then pop off frost / summon rock to end it. With this even the best templar's will be dead.

The issue is if they do use UD you will have to try and control them using root's and excess CC's.

But I've rarely seen a templar that is intelligent enough to pop UD infront of "just a caster". Usually do if it is a chanter/gladiator/assasin though.

 

I cant speak for sorcs since Im a ranger but its super easy for me to kill a temp. I mean yea it takes an extra 2-3 skills cus of their high hp. Although since I just started Ive only killed 4 temps I think and none of them got a chance to reach me =/ so may be my info may not be that useful to you.

And from what I see in DP temps don't do anything a glad doesn't on this server so it seems to me temps are overshadowed by glads in both pve and pvp on this server.

I have a level 50 chanter and priest on retail but retail hardly applies to gamez many of the skills and mechanics are different.

 

Templars can aggro a lot more than a Gladiator can... Though sometimes DP bosses bug and completely ignore taunts etc... So yeah, the bug renders templars useless.

And honestly rangers are among the few classes I have no problem decimating with my templar, horribly nerfed as it is atm. Well, rangers that aren't Hanja... I can take out pairs and even groups of rangers that like to gank low level characters in besfer >=)

Srsly: Crit Build templars are the only good templars.

 

Yeah temps can be pretty godlike if you know how to play them. But no one is god, who knows

I know temps with lv. 50/55 abyss sets are reallllly hard to beat. That's for sure. Like, I HAVE to use sandstorm or else I would deplete all my skills and I'll be just there to get hit and killed

 

This Temp says hi. Temps are fine, even with the broken skills. Learn to play your class.

Hardest class to kill for me is a good chanter(stun lock 18k to 0 in 10 seconds) and a good SM(fear lock), and there arent many good players of either those classes out there. (and even if there is a good one its who gets the jump on who with what buffs)


-Pieces, 8th highest AP

 

I've only played a templar for 3 weeks. Maybe you can help me out. How do I kill a sin that's stunlocking me?

 

Ok so the moral here is Temps skills/buffs and or the mech mechs on Private server makes Temps one of the easier classes to beat. Just know it is the TOTAL opposite on retail. So all the sorcs in here that was stroking there ego saying it is so super easy its not your skill level that is making it easy believe me, the mechs. in PS works for you is all. I too have a sorc here and because I never see my spells resisted it truly breaka the balance in the game and makes pvp to easy. Hell 99% of sorcs use Orbs over books as I mentioned because they dont have the fear of being resisted. BROKE. Retail you better weapon change to a book when using CC's or chances of hitting a end game geared opponent is slim to none.

To the elite temps in here saying learn your class. When you have a server that makes chains 100%, and stuns and cc's pretty much 100% there is nothing you can do when your range is 5M and there's is 25M, and fully loaded with skills to slow or stop you dead in your tracks on top of burst damage that also wont be resisted. Get off your high horse. Skills plays very little factor on the temps part. There is only so much you can do.

 

That's true

Btw. You have a temp, have you ever tried on a full attack gear? XD

I think it gives about 150+ attack boost.

 

I've been meaning to try one, TBH, but really crit build is good enough...

 

i would go for a crit build too
