Hold The Door - Templar Build PvP - ESO

The “Tank” build is for leading the charge or hold the line. It's tanky, has disruptive offensive skills, and provides good healing for yourself and your allies.

The “Nuke” build is for wiping enemies off the map. It's less tanky, but is designed for more damage and has a devastating ult.

Armour:

• Monster set:
  • Tank: Bloodspawn (Heavy or Heavy + Medium) for farming your ult and improving your durability. I like to use this set with the Bone Tyrant ult.
  • Nuke: Balorgh (Heavy or Heavy + Medium) for hitting big ults. We don't have a good nuke ult in this build, but any ult you pop with 500 ult charge while wearing this set will give you crazy damage for 12 seconds. Once I'm at 500 ult charge I like to pop my ult (usually Radial Sweep), then hit an enemy with Piercing Javelin to stun them or knock them back, dash to them using Focused Charge, and finally finishing them off with Ruinous Scythe and Puncturing Sweep.
• Set 1:
  • Ancient Dragonguard (Heavy or Heavy + Medium) for a nice balance between damage and added survivability.
• Set 2:
  • Wretched Vitality (Heavy or Heavy + Medium) for very nice sustain when paired with the Saint and the Seducer. In combat you should almost always be within range of enemies to proc the Saint and the Seducer, meaning this set's bonuses should be active at all times.
• Set 3:
  • Armor of the Trainee (Heavy) for increased health.
• Mythic:
  • The Saint and the Seducer for synergy with Wretched Vitality.

Weapons:

• Front Bar:
  • One Hand and Shield for the tanky passives. We don't use any of the active skills.
• Back Bar:
  • Destruction Staff for the Elemental Susceptibility skill and some nice passives depending on your staff's element. Frost will make you a lot tankier, including giving you a damage shield after landing a heavy attack (which will restore magicka when it takes damage), changing your block resource from stamina to magicka (great for saving stamina for when you need it), and reducing how much damage you take while blocking. Fire and Shock will give you more damage. Frost is highly recommended for the “Tank” build.
