Simplar - Stamina Templar PVE Build

This build is made purposely to be solid with damage, survivability, sustain and damage all in one place!

Gear is easy to acquire in comparison vs what is considered “end game” stuff (although there is an advance option). Everything you need can be acquired Solo OR bought from the market!

ANYONE can use this set-up no matter what your experience or skill level and you can use it for ALL content (yes, including vet and hard mode trials).

The point of this build is to do everything at once as SIMPLE as possible. Sustain is easy, survivability is easy (vs squishplars) , damage and rotations are easy to get to grips with in comparison to most, and is a fully static rotation so you never really have to change anything. Of course, over time the build rotation has somewhat changed but you can still roll it back a bit and keep it very simple indeed in comparison to the new update if it suits you and you will still perform just fine…hence the name “Simplar” 🙂

Your rotation is made up in such a way that not only are all your buffs applied and ultimate regen covered, but you also have very nice AOE damage at the same time as having single target damage, whereas other stamina classes are more single target heavy! There is no need for over complicated rotations, smashing your control to pieces doesn’t mean you are cool..it is just an unnecessary way to try to show off when you really don’t need to…

The game has very simple mechanics as far as performing in DPS is concerned but people try to make it too complex. All you need are your primary attacks (light and heavy attacks) alongside the right amount of skills and buffs without overusing your resources. This build does just that!

As a stamina Templar alongside the beast trap you have a passive bonus to crit damage, hence the need to have a high crit chance, so that is a very important stat. Templars EXCEL at critical damage, so get that chance % up high.

Repentance. Remember this ability is FREE…if something dies next to you and you press this, you heal yourself and your group and YOU gain stamina back. Our sustain is amazing already let alone in a situation where many things die at once.

Remember the more targets, the larger the return. You can even drop a couple of heavy attacks occasionally for lights for a faster rotation and still gain back the overused stamina by consuming the dead bodies. Lots of flexibility here in AOE situations. 

• HUGE sustain!

• AOE and single target damage in one package! Most stamina have high single and poor AOE, this has a nice balance of both!

• Time your ultimate! With all passives in place, making sure you keep up your rotation, all the ultimate gain from skills and lights and heavies will allow you to be able to use your ultimate ability EVERY two rotations.

• Timing. DO NOT try to do your rotation too fast, this is timed perfectly, and showing off trying to press things too quickly will mess it up. Sometimes less is more:)

• Group support! We can actually fit Ring Of Preservation not just for the weapon damage but actually to help heal and protect other members of the group without sacrificing ANY skill slots whatsoever! It helps if we activate it, and adds more weapon damage for us even if we don’t activate it, WIN-WIN!

• Ressing! As a Templar, you can resurrect VERY fast, make sure you throw on a quick vigor to heal while you are doing so, and get your team up FAST! Heal first, res second!
