Who Should Play This Class
Choose Templar if you enjoy leading pulls, protecting teammates and controlling where enemies face and move.
Likely strengths
Clear tank identity; defensive control; strong group purpose for players comfortable with responsibility.
Tradeoffs to accept
Success may depend on positioning and cooldown timing; solo kills may feel slower than dedicated damage classes.
How To Play It
Matchup framework
PvP
Protect vulnerable allies, disrupt enemy setups and use control to create space.
Progression
Solo
Favor reliable damage and low downtime while keeping a defensive reserve for elites or adds.
Core decision loop
Start the pull → secure attention and position → answer the dangerous mechanic → refresh threat/control → preserve an emergency defense.
First Session Checklist
- Learn the range and movement needed for the class job: Main tank / protector.
- Identify one pressure sequence, one defensive response and one escape or reposition option.
- Test the loop on ordinary enemies before judging dungeon or PvP performance.
- Open the Templar build and choose the correct activity variation.
- Record Global patch and tested activity before treating performance as evidence.
Evidence And Open Questions
Verified scope: class identity and role framing. Exact power ranking remains unranked until repeatable Global evidence exists.
- Tank demand, threat tools, defensive cooldown tuning.
- Exact skill names, values, cooldowns, costs and animation locks.
- Verify threat and mitigation rules before committing to a defensive stack; add offense only when survival and aggro are stable.
- Separate results for solo, 5-player, 10-player, 1v1, small-scale and large-scale play.
