This PVE Templar magicka DPS build was made for players of all skill levels. Of course, the more advanced player will get more out of it but this will perform well in anyone’s hands so long as you follow it correctly and understand HOW it works. This does involve a little knowledge of the skills applied and their passives attached to them in order to act on instinct if needed when something goes wrong. This is capable of solo, 4 player, and 12 player content throughout the game YES including the really hard stuff!

The reason this is called “off-balance” is simple and that is that this is centered around pumping out as much area of effect damage as possible, solo AND group based WHILE offering a major support factor to the fight without upsetting your DPS. Here we are using a lot of lightning damage to further push concussion for those off-balance procs AND add as much AOE damage as possible while still pumping out high single target damage, alongside good sustain AND survival.
We also offer sustain and healing bonuses AND actual heals to the group and we don’t have to ever alter our rotation for it to be effective! Everything you need in one tidy package!

Debuffer! You can keep minor vulnerability up all of the time if your rotations are clean (+5% damage for the group) due to that being part of the concussion status effect.

Survivability! You heal from your damage (sweeps and beams) so you actually stay alive by doing damage and have a shield for emergencies!

You can keep a healthy up time on off-balance to improve your and your group’s increased heavy damage resource gain (70% extra damage and 100% extra back from resources) while also returning the favor to the dragonknights in the group by allowing them the effect required for their backflip whips! 😉

Your sustain and ability to apply HIGH AOE with the lightning staff as and when needed…heavy attack into a bunch of adds and everything dies fast while at the same time you REGAIN magicka for a fully heavy attack, AND remember while a target is off balance your heavy attacks gain DOUBLE resources!…very handy.

The heavy attack part of the rotation (if required) not only does high single-target AOE damage but also keeps up your sustain by default.

Overwhelming applies a really good amount of free DPS just for using your class abilities and at the same time offers even MORE concussion status effects = off balance

Many builds out there focus mainly on weapon abilities and negate the point of the class. This utilizes the class abilities almost equally if not a little more than weapon skills making it more of a reason to BE a Templar rather than just putting force pulse on everything, get those sweeps in! 🙂

This is a VERY “balanced” build, using “off-balance” to make it so!
