One Bar Plar – ESO One Bar Magicka Templar Build

Build Overview

This PvE Magicka Templar build is like no other. In The Elder Scrolls Online, there is a huge skill gap between players — from those just learning the game to the absolute elite.

That does not mean players with a lower skill level should be locked out of challenging content. ESO is built around choice and inclusivity: any class, any race, any role, and any skill level — it all depends on how you want to play.

Complex mechanics, fast rotations, and mobility requirements can be barriers for some players. This build exists to remove those barriers without removing access to the game’s toughest content.

🧠 Simple Doesn’t Mean Weak

The game does not lock content behind skill checks or gear walls. You can build how you like — including extremely simple and effective setups that take little effort to use and still get the hard stuff done.

Simplifying a build frees up mental space. Instead of being overwhelmed by fast decision-making and bar swaps, you can focus on mechanics, positioning, and awareness.

And yes — with a bit of practice, that means even you can do hard-mode content.

☀️ Who This Build Is For

If you struggle for any reason, or simply want something easier while still enjoying the Templar class, One Bar Plar is built for you.

🔁 Power Without Extra Effort

This build takes advantage of enemies dying around you to make you stronger — without requiring any changes to how you play. Focus on a single target if you want, and everything else happening around you feeds into your power.

With a one-bar setup, rotations are simplified, buffs require far less maintenance, and Oakensoul provides permanent uptime without tracking timers or bar swapping.

🛡️ Built-In Survival

• You heal from almost everything you do. As long as you apply pressure, you are very difficult to kill.
• When enemies die, you gain power. In almost all content — outside of pure single-target fights — you are rewarded with more damage whether you land the kill or not.
• Sustain can be handled through heavy attacks, which also help push enemies down in AoE situations to trigger your set procs.
• One bar means access to many buffs with no timers to track, no bar swaps, and far less mental load during fights.
• Macabre turns dead enemies into explosions, helping kill the living faster.
• The execute phase is extremely powerful. From 33% health and below, your Jesus beam becomes a kill switch — the beam melts targets while healing you at the same time.
• This build leans heavily into Templar class abilities rather than weapon skills, giving you a real reason to play a Templar instead of spamming Force Pulse. Get those sweeps in.
